What Piccadilly Circus looks like in the early morning
A typical early morning scene in Piccadilly Circus, showing a a smart gentleman in a hansom, heading westward towards Piccadilly, perhaps from a club (the caption suggests the Garrick, the Lyric or the Eccentric Club). As he bends his top hatted head to light a cigarette, a vestry employee can be seen washing the street with the Shaftesbury fountain (Eros) and Pavilion Music Hall faces the Criterion restaurant. Going the other way are cabbage-laden drays trudging from the country to Covent Garden Market. Date: 1901

A Charming Early Morning Scene at Piccadilly Circus in 1901: A Smart Gentleman's Journey from the Club to Work This image captures the essence of an Edwardian morning at Piccadilly Circus, a bustling hub of London's vibrant society and commerce. The scene is set with a smart gentleman in a top hat, seated comfortably in a hansom cab, heading westward towards Piccadilly. The gentleman, perhaps a clubman from the Garrick, Lyric, or Eccentric Club, takes a moment to light his cigarette, oblivious to the hustle and bustle around him. In the background, a vestry employee can be seen washing the cobblestones, ensuring the iconic Shaftesbury fountain (Eros) and Pavilion Music Hall remain pristine for the day ahead. The Criterion restaurant, a popular dining destination, faces the scene, adding to the area's allure. As the gentleman makes his way through the city, the scene is contrasted by the sight of cabbage-laden drays trudging from the country towards Covent Garden Market. The traffic of cabs, horses, and carts adds to the symphony of sounds and sights that define London's early morning rush. This photograph, taken in 1901, offers a glimpse into the rich history and diverse character of Piccadilly Circus during the Edwardian era. The scene is a testament to the city's enduring charm and the unique blend of nightlife, transportation, and daily life that continues to captivate visitors and locals alike.
