EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Historic England Archive takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Oxford Circus, City of Westminster, Greater London in the 1910s. The image perfectly captures the vibrant energy and constant movement that defined this iconic location even a century ago. In this snapshot of history, we see a mesmerizing street scene filled with LGOC B type omnibuses and pedestrians. These double-decker buses, painted in their distinctive red livery, were an integral part of London's transport system during that era. They stand as proud symbols of both progress and tradition. The composition showcases the harmonious coexistence between road transport and pedestrians at Oxford Circus. As people go about their daily routines amidst the hustle and bustle, they navigate through a sea of traffic with remarkable ease. The photograph encapsulates not only the physical landscape but also tells a story about life in early 20th-century London. It serves as a reminder of how much our cities have evolved over time while still retaining elements that make them timeless. Through this evocative image, Historic England Archive invites us to reflect on our urban heritage and appreciate how places like Oxford Circus have shaped our collective identity throughout generations.
