EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1929, showcases a breathtaking view of the London skyline from the northern bank of the River Thames. The focus of the image is the iconic Cecil and Savoy Hotels, elegantly framed by the tranquil water and the hustle and bustle of the bustling city beyond. The Cecil Hotel, located on the Strand, is seen on the left, while the Savoy Hotel, situated on the Strand's opposite side, is prominently displayed with its distinctive art deco facade. The serene River Thames, with its steady flow, reflects the grandeur of the hotels and adds to the allure of the scene. The photograph also captures the charm of the era, with the presence of traditional river barges, steam ferries, and riverboats, which were a common sight during the 1920s. The Embankment, with its lush greenery, adds a touch of natural beauty to the urban landscape. The image offers a glimpse into the rich history of London during the 1920s, a time of prosperity and cultural innovation. The hotels, with their luxurious offerings, were popular destinations for the elite and the famous, and the river was a vital mode of transportation for both people and goods. This photograph is a testament to the enduring charm of London and its ability to captivate and inspire, even after nearly a century.
