Oxford Circus and Oxford Street Looking East, London (1912): A Vibrant Snapshot of Early 20th Century Urban Life This photograph, taken in 1912, offers a glimpse into the bustling heart of London's West End, specifically at Oxford Circus and Oxford Street looking east. The image, taken by an unidentified photographer, showcases the area's rich blend of commerce, transportation, and public life that thrived over a century ago. At the center of the photograph, the iconic Oxford Circus roundabout dominates the scene, with its imposing fountain and surrounding traffic island. The circular rotary, designed by Thomas C. H. Mewes, was a popular meeting place and a symbol of London's modernity. The roundabout was also the terminus for the original route of the Central London Railway, later known as the Central Line, which can be seen in the background, with its distinctive red and white tiled station entrance. The eastward view of Oxford Street reveals a lively thoroughfare filled with shops and pedestrians. Notable establishments, such as Peter Robinson and Munro's, can be identified, their grand facades drawing in customers. The street's diverse array of stores catered to various tastes and budgets, making it a shopping mecca for both locals and tourists. The photograph also highlights the area's extensive transport network. Buses, with their open tops and distinctive livery, can be seen navigating the busy streets, while the Midland Railway station looms in the background, connecting London to the rest of the country via the Underground and overground trains. This photograph not only captures the essence of London's vibrant shopping culture but also showcases the city's impressive transport infrastructure and the bustling energy of its streets. A testament to the rich history of the area, it invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and stories that unfolded on this very spot over a century ago.
