EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the historical significance of the London Police Box, which used to adorn the East and West corners of Trafalgar Square. These boxes were not only the smallest police stations in London but also served as a symbol of duty and law enforcement in Britain during the 1930s.
The lamps at the top of these police boxes were sourced from HMS "Victory", adding an extra touch of history and maritime heritage to these iconic structures. Despite their small size, these police boxes played a crucial role in maintaining law and order in one of London's busiest squares.
In this image, we can see the cold and bored officers on duty inside one of these quaint police boxes, highlighting the challenging conditions they faced while carrying out their duties. The juxtaposition of modern policing techniques with historical architecture makes this print a fascinating glimpse into London's past.
