Regent Street, London, 1912, (1935). Creator: Unknown
Regent Street, London, 1912, (1935). Leisurely Days in Regent Street...long before traffic had become a problem. Although petrol-driven vehicles were fast ousting the horse-drawn types, traffic signals, pedestrian crossings and other devices introduced for the safety of road users were as yet unnecessary... In the foreground is a No.6 bus to Kensal Rise, with a sandwich man on the pavement. From " The Silver Jubilee Book - The Story of 25 Eventful Years in Pictures". [Odhams Press Ltd. London, 1935]

Leisurely Days in Regent Street - A Glimpse into London's Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Regent Street, London in 1912. Captured in 1935, it showcases a bygone era when traffic was not yet a problem and horse-drawn carriages still shared the road with emerging petrol-driven vehicles. The image transports us to a time when safety measures like traffic signals and pedestrian crossings were unnecessary. Instead, pedestrians strolled leisurely along the avenue, undisturbed by the hustle and bustle that would later define this iconic street. In the foreground stands a No. 6 bus bound for Kensal Rise, its presence reminding us of the evolving transportation landscape during this period. Adjacent to it is a sandwich man on the pavement, advertising his wares to passersby—a testament to early forms of outdoor marketing. Taken from "The Silver Jubilee Book - The Story of 25 Eventful Years in Pictures" published by Odhams Press Ltd. , this photograph captures both architectural beauty and daily life in early 20th century London. The buildings lining Regent Street stand as witnesses to history while shoppers explore various shops scattered along its length. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of an era long gone but forever preserved through images like these—testaments to our ever-changing world and reminders of how far we have come since those leisurely days on Regent Street over a century ago.
