EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the vibrant and bustling heart of London in the 1950s, as depicted in this evocative photograph of Piccadilly Circus from the Mary Evans Picture Library. At the center of the frame stands the iconic statue of Eros, the Greek god of love, perched atop a pedestal adorned with intricate neoclassical designs. The statue, also known as "Cupid on Pulpit," is bathed in the soft glow of the circus's historic neon lights, which illuminate the bustling intersection with a kaleidoscopic array of colors. Surrounding the statue, the circus comes alive with the energy and excitement of the era. The famous fountain, a beloved landmark and a favorite gathering spot for locals and tourists alike, is a focal point of activity. The hustle and bustle of the crowd is palpable, as people go about their daily business or pause to take in the sights and sounds of this historic crossroads. The neon signs of the surrounding buildings cast an otherworldly glow over the scene, creating a sense of wonder and magic. Among them, the Cineworld sign, a remnant of the circus's rich cinematic history, adds to the allure of this iconic London destination. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when Piccadilly Circus was a symbol of the vibrancy and energy of post-war London. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and enduring charm of this famous landmark, which continues to captivate visitors from around the world today.
