EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling energy of Soho, London, at the junction of Peter Street and Wardour Street W1 in 1973. The narrow streets and pavements are filled with a vibrant mix of people, cars, and delivery vans, creating a sense of urgency and excitement. In the foreground, a Schweppes delivery van is parked on the pavement, its sign prominently displayed. The area around Soho was known for its lively and eclectic scene during the 1970s, with a diverse range of businesses, from striptease clubs to record stores, and this photograph perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the district. The busy streets were a hive of activity, with deliveries being made constantly, as seen by the second van in the background. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of a red car parked haphazardly on the pavement, adding to the sense of chaos and movement. The 50p sign on the pavement is a reminder of the cost of parking during that era, and the overall image transports us back to a time when Soho was a truly unique and unforgettable part of London's urban landscape.
