EDITORS COMMENTS
Oxford Street, London in the 1930s was a bustling hub of activity, as captured beautifully in this vintage print by Tomlin. The scene depicts a typical day on Oxford Street with its iconic red double-decker buses, elegant cars, and throngs of pedestrians crossing the road. It's Monday 7th March 1932, and the street is alive with energy. The image showcases the vibrant advertising hoardings that adorned the buildings along Oxford Street during that era. Among them stands Bourne and Hollingsworth department store, a prominent shopping destination for Londoners at the time. Shoppers can be seen eagerly making their way through the crowd, perhaps enticed by enticing offers displayed on those very hoardings. As dusk settles in, street lights illuminate this lively scene even further. The atmosphere is electric as people navigate their way through this inner borough of London. This photograph provides us with a captivating glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. Tomlin's skillful composition transports us back to an enchanting time when Oxford Street was at its prime as one of United Kingdom's premier shopping destinations. This print from Memory Lane Prints serves as both a nostalgic reminder and an intriguing historical artifact capturing everyday life in early 20th-century London.
