1973 Area Kettners Lanterns Neon Restaurant Romilly Signs Soho Stallard
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the allure of Soho, London, at night, specifically the entrance of Kettner's Restaurant located at 29 Romilly Street, W1. Established in 1867, Kettner's was one of the oldest and most iconic dining institutions in the area, known for its French-Italian cuisine and vibrant atmosphere. The image, taken by Robert Stallard in 1973, transports us back to the 1970s, a time when Soho was synonymous with bohemian culture, creativity, and late-night revelry. The photograph's composition draws our attention to the restaurant's entrance, where the dimly lit steps and ornate lanterns cast an inviting glow against the dark, moody backdrop of the London night. The neon signs, though faded, still gleam with an otherworldly, ethereal light, beckoning passersby to come and indulge in the culinary delights within. The steps, leading up to the restaurant's door, seem to beckon us to ascend and join the lively scene that unfolds within. This photograph is a testament to the enduring charm of Soho and its rich history. Though Kettner's Restaurant closed its doors in January 2016, the memories and allure of this iconic establishment live on through images like this one. This photograph is not only a snapshot of a bygone era but also a reminder of the unique character and charm that Soho continues to embody.
