EDITORS COMMENTS
In this snapshot of a bygone era, two Metropolitan Police officers, one male and one female, are seen engaging in a friendly conversation with a young couple at Piccadilly Circus in Central London. The sunny day in the 1970s is brought to life through the vibrant neon advertisements that adorn the buildings around them, including Coca-Cola, Cinzano, Skol, and Volkswagen. Across the road, an advertisement for Sam Peckinpah's latest film, "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid," catches the eye with its bold graphics. The officers, both in their shirt sleeves and donning their uniforms with pride, appear deep in conversation with the couple, who are likely discussing the latest happenings in this bustling part of the city. In the background, a red double-decker bus makes its way through the busy traffic, adding to the sense of movement and energy in the scene. The historical significance of this moment is further emphasized by the iconic neon signs and the hippy-era fashions of the pedestrians. This photograph captures a moment in time when the Met Police were a visible and reassuring presence on the streets of London, even amidst the distractions of the bright lights and advertisements that surrounded them.
