On the 15th of May 1937, Mottingham was abuzz with excitement as neighbors gathered together for a grand Coronation tea party. The image showcases a long table adorned with Union Jack flags and festive bunting, stretching along the suburban road. Amidst the crowd of jubilant faces, children can be seen eagerly donning their party hats while exploring every inch of this joyous scene. The atmosphere is filled with laughter and merriment as families come together to celebrate King George VI's coronation between the wars. The photograph perfectly encapsulates the spirit of unity and camaraderie that prevailed during this era. Neighbors from all walks of life joined forces to create an unforgettable celebration right on their doorstep. It serves as a testament to the resilience and community spirit that defined Britain during these challenging times.
