EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the 1950s, offering a glimpse into the bustling cityscape of London. The image showcases a unique sight on the River Thames - a floating Shell Mex and BP filling station, with the iconic Big Ben and Houses of Parliament standing tall in the background. The composition is truly remarkable, capturing both architectural marvels and everyday life in one frame. Towering above all else is Big Ben, its majestic clock face reminding us of time's ceaseless march. The Houses of Parliament stand as a symbol of British democracy, their grandeur reflecting centuries of history. In contrast to these historic landmarks, we find an unexpected addition on the river - a floating petrol station operated by Shell Mex and BP. This innovative concept brings convenience to those navigating London's waterways while adding an intriguing touch to this already mesmerizing scene. The black-and-white aesthetic adds depth and nostalgia to the photograph, transporting viewers back in time when petrol stations were not confined solely to land. It serves as a reminder that even amidst progress and change, certain elements endure - like our need for fuel and transportation. Through this expertly captured moment frozen in time by Staff at Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to an era where architecture met innovation on London's famous riverfront.
