EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1947, showcases the iconic Monte Carlo Hotel and House of Hamburger located at the corner of Leicester and Lisle Streets in central London, near the bustling Leicester Square. The Monte Carlo Hotel, with its elegant Art Deco design, stands proudly on the left side of the image, its tall, curved facade adorned with large windows and ornate detailing. The House of Hamburger, on the right, is a quaint, red-brick building with a distinctive neon sign above its entrance, beckoning passersby to indulge in its delicious offerings. The 1940s were a pivotal time in London's history, and this image offers a glimpse into the post-war era. The streets are relatively quiet, with only a few cars parked along Leicester Street, and the absence of modern billboards or advertisements adds to the vintage feel of the scene. The Monte Carlo Hotel, with its luxurious reputation, would have been a popular destination for both tourists and locals alike, while the House of Hamburger, with its promise of a tasty, affordable meal, would have attracted a steady stream of customers. The Monte Carlo Hotel and House of Hamburger have since become beloved landmarks in London's rich history, and this photograph serves as a fascinating reminder of the city's past. The Art Deco design of the Monte Carlo Hotel, with its sweeping curves and glamorous aesthetic, was a hallmark of the era, while the House of Hamburger represents the growing popularity of American-style diners in post-war Britain. This photograph is a testament to the enduring charm of London's past and the unique character of its streets.
