EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the grandeur of Victorian London. Captured in 1885 by the talented photographer H Bedford Lemere, it showcases the iconic Hotel Metropole on Northumberland Avenue. Standing tall and proud, this magnificent building exudes elegance and sophistication. The hotel's exterior is beautifully framed from the east, allowing us to appreciate its architectural splendor. The intricate details of its façade are brought to life through the lens of Lemere, showcasing a blend of classical elements with a touch of modernity. Every line and curve tells a story of craftsmanship and attention to detail. As we gaze upon this historic image, we can't help but imagine what life was like during that era. Perhaps horse-drawn carriages lined up outside as guests arrived for their luxurious stay at one of London's most prestigious hotels. The bustling streets surrounding it would have been filled with men in top hats and women adorned in elegant gowns. H Bedford Lemere's skillful composition captures not only the physical beauty of Hotel Metropole but also evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. It serves as a reminder that even amidst constant change, remnants of our past continue to shape our present landscape. This print from Historic England allows us to step into history for just a moment, immersing ourselves in the opulence and charm that once graced Northumberland Avenue in Victorian London.
