In this print titled "Heatwave in Trafalgar Square, London" taken on the 13th of June, 1976, we are transported back to a scorching summer day in the heart of the city. As temperatures soared into the 80s once again, people sought refuge around the iconic fountains in Trafalgar Square. The allure of these cool water features proved irresistible to those seeking respite from the sweltering heat.
