EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Swim in the Heart of London: The Thames at Charing Cross in the 1890s 2.. This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, as the tranquil Thames River flows gently through the heart of London at Charing Cross in the late 1890s. The image, taken from the south bank of the river, showcases the iconic Cleopatra's Needle obelisk standing proudly on its pedestal, left, with the Embankment stretching out behind it. In the foreground, the historic Cleopatra Swimming Baths can be seen, a popular destination for Londoners seeking a refreshing dip in the Thames. The Savoy Hotel, a luxurious establishment that has been a landmark in the city since its opening in 1889, can be glimpsed on the right bank of the river. The grand architecture of Charing Cross Station, with its distinctive clock tower, adds to the rich historical tapestry of the scene. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into London's past, showcasing the city's unique blend of history, culture, and recreation. The Cleopatra Swimming Baths, which closed in 1938, were a popular attraction for both locals and tourists, allowing them to experience the Thames in a way that is now largely forgotten. The image invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and sensations of a London long past, as we marvel at the timeless beauty of the Thames and its surroundings. This photograph is an invaluable historical record, providing us with a window into the past and offering a glimpse into the lives of Londoners during a period of great change and transformation. It is a testament to the enduring allure of the Thames and the city's rich history, which continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
