"St Paul’s from Ludgate Circus, 1920s. One of the few views to show the tracks and the width of the former railway bridge. This photograph beautifully captures the bustling energy of London during the early 20th century.

The iconic dome of St. Paul’s Cathedral stands majestically in the background, while the intricate details of the bridge and surrounding buildings showcase the architectural charm of the era. The scene is alive with the movement of trams, buses, and pedestrians, offering a glimpse into the daily life of Londoners nearly a century ago. A historical treasure, preserving a moment in time."
