1947 Kettners Restaurant Romilly Soho
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the vibrant and eclectic heart of London's Soho district in the late 1940s, as depicted in this evocative photograph of Kettners Restaurant on the corner of Romilly Street and Greek Street. The image captures the essence of post-war London, with the restaurant's Art Deco sign gleaming in the sunlight, beckoning passersby to indulge in a meal or a drink. The photograph offers a glimpse into the bustling street scene of the era, with people hurrying about their business, trams rumbling along the streets, and the distinctive red double-decker buses adding to the sense of energy and activity. In the background, the spire of St. Anne's Church rises above the rooftops, a reminder of the rich history and tradition that lies at the heart of this vibrant and diverse community. Kettners Restaurant, which first opened its doors in 1867, has long been a fixture of Soho's culinary scene, attracting a diverse clientele of artists, writers, actors, and musicians. In the 1940s, it was a popular gathering place for those seeking a respite from the challenges of post-war life, offering a taste of elegance and sophistication amidst the bustling streets of Soho. This photograph, taken in 1947, offers a tantalizing glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of optimism and renewal, when London was rebuilding itself after the devastation of the war. With its lively street scene, iconic sign, and stunning architectural details, it is a testament to the enduring allure of Soho and the indomitable spirit of Londoners.
