EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this beautiful postcard image of Royal London House in Finsbury Square, London, circa 1910s. The grandiose building, with its distinctive clock tower and ornate cupola, once served as the headquarters of the Friendly Society, a mutual insurer based in the City of London. Built between 1905 and 1906, the Royal London House was designed by renowned architect John Belcher. The Western Triton Court can be seen to the left, adding to the architectural charm of the scene. The road in front of the building is bustling with activity, as horse-drawn carriages and automobiles make their way through the city. The clock tower, with its intricate details and ornate clock faces, dominates the scene. The corner of the building, with its impressive corner turret, adds to the overall grandeur of the building. The cupola at the top of the tower offers a bird's eye view of the surrounding area, making it a popular attraction for visitors to the city. The Royal London House was a symbol of the prosperity and growth of the insurance industry in London during the early 1900s. The Friendly Society, which was founded in 1834, had grown significantly over the years and needed a larger headquarters to accommodate its expanding operations. The new building was a testament to the society's success and its commitment to providing insurance services to its members. Today, the Royal London House stands as a reminder of the rich history and architectural beauty of London during the early 1900s. This postcard image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when horse-drawn carriages shared the roads with automobiles, and the insurance industry was a thriving and important part of the City of London's economic landscape.
