EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Allan Olley, we are transported back to the scorching summer of 1976 in London. As temperatures soared into the upper 70s once again, Hyde Park became a magnet for sun seekers and relaxation enthusiasts alike. The park was teeming with crowds who flocked to bask in the glorious sunshine and soak up some much-needed vitamin D. The Serpentine, a picturesque lake nestled within Hyde Park, provided respite from the sweltering heat. Rowers gracefully glided across its shimmering waters, finding solace and coolness amidst the scorching hot weather. Their synchronized movements created ripples that mirrored their determination to keep calm despite the blazing conditions. This photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also an era defined by its relentless heatwave. It serves as a reminder of how people coped with extreme weather before modern conveniences such as air conditioning became commonplace. Allan Olley's lens beautifully encapsulates both the tranquility of Hyde Park and the resilience of those who sought refuge there during this unforgettable summer. This image is a testament to London's ability to adapt and find joy even in challenging circumstances—a quality that has made it an enduring landmark throughout history.
