Weather London Smog 1953
The lights of Piccadilly Circus shine through the fog at 11:40 am and the only other shine is the polish of Sailor Davis working on the shoe shine stand on the corner of Regent Street.
Against a background of hazy neon signs, it looks like the night life of London. Its dark, but its noon.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Weather London Smog 1953" the bustling city of London is shrouded in a dense fog. The iconic lights of Piccadilly Circus pierce through the mist, creating an ethereal scene that transports us back to November 1953. At precisely 11:40 am, when daylight should be at its peak, the city remains enveloped in darkness. Amidst this atmospheric backdrop, we catch a glimpse of Sailor Davis diligently working on his shoe shine stand on the corner of Regent Street. His presence adds a touch of humanity to the otherwise surreal ambiance created by hazy neon signs and obscured landmarks. As he meticulously polishes shoes, Sailor becomes an emblematic figure representing both resilience and perseverance amidst challenging circumstances. The photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a poignant reminder of the severe pollution that plagued London during that era. It showcases how environmental conditions can transform even the most vibrant metropolis into an enigmatic nocturnal landscape. This evocative image from FW Reed's collection takes us back to a bygone era—London in the 1950s—a time when smog filled its streets but failed to dampen its spirit or extinguish its luminosity.
