EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene outside the Criterion Restaurant and Theatre on Piccadilly in London during the 1940s. The iconic building, located opposite the famous statue of Eros, was a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. The image showcases the architectural beauty of the Criterion building, with its ornate facade and elegant columns. The theatre marquee advertises various performances, while the restaurant sign invites passersby to indulge in a meal. The branches of Dolcis and Boots, housed within the same building, add to the vibrant energy of the street. The statue of Eros, located at the northern end of Piccadilly Circus, adds an air of romance and intrigue to the scene. The statue, which dates back to 1893, is a beloved symbol of London and a popular attraction for visitors.
