EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910, offers a glimpse into the bustling heart of Oxford Circus in Central London during the 1910s. The image, which looks down upon the scene from an aerial perspective, reveals a vibrant and dynamic crossroads where Regent Street meets Oxford Street. The sunblinds of the shops and stores along the streets create intricate patterns on the pavement below, as a steady stream of pedestrians make their way through the crowded intersection. The roads are filled with an assortment of vehicles, including buses and private cars, that navigate the busy intersection with careful precision. The scene is a testament to the growing popularity of automobiles, which were becoming increasingly common modes of transportation in urban areas during this time. Among the most prominent shops in the photograph are Peter Robinson, Jays, and Jays, which can be seen with their large, ornate signs proudly displayed. These establishments were popular destinations for shoppers, drawing crowds from both the local community and tourists alike. Despite the chaos and commotion, there is a sense of order and rhythm to the scene, as people and vehicles move in a seemingly coordinated dance. The photograph captures the energy and excitement of London in the early 20th century, a time of rapid change and growth in the city's history.
