EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the interior of The Taverne at the Swiss Centre, located in Coventry Street, Leicester Square, City of Westminster, Greater London. Designed by David Aberdeen and constructed by John Laing & Son Ltd. , this iconic building was a hub of activity during the 1960s. The Swiss Centre boasted an impressive structure with shops on street level and a market area along with restaurants in the podium known as Swiss Fair. Rising above were eleven storeys comprising offices and residential units. This architectural marvel stood tall until its unfortunate demolition in 2008. In this image, we are transported back to a time when people would gather at The Taverne for delightful dining experiences. The ambiance is inviting, with warm lighting illuminating the space adorned with elegant furnishings and tasteful decor. Patrons can be seen enjoying their meals while engaging in lively conversations. As we admire this snapshot from A© Historic England Archive, it serves as a reminder of how buildings like The Taverne played an integral role in shaping city life during that era. Though no longer standing today, its legacy lives on through photographs like these that capture moments frozen in time - forever preserving the spirit of bustling shopping centres and vibrant restaurants from yesteryears.
