EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of a London horse bus, circa 1920, taken outside the bustling Waterloo Station. The horse-drawn bus, a common sight on the streets of London during the early 20th century, is a testament to the city's rich transportation history. Adorned with vibrant advertisements for well-known brands of the era, such as Lipton Tea, Nestle Milk, and Hudsons Soap, the bus not only showcases the marketing strategies of the time but also provides a glimpse into the consumer culture of the 1920s. The scene unfolds as the horses are being changed, a necessary process in the operation of these horse-drawn vehicles. The hustle and bustle of Waterloo Station can be felt in the background, with passengers and pedestrians going about their daily business. This photograph offers a unique perspective into London's past, providing a window into a time when horse-drawn transportation reigned supreme and advertisements were a simple, yet effective, means of reaching the masses. The enduring images on the side of the bus serve as a reminder of the nostalgia and charm that continues to draw visitors to the United Kingdom's capital city.
