EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a bustling scene at Ludgate Circus in the City of London, circa 1935. The focal point is the magnificent Spire of St. Martins Ludgate, beautifully silhouetted against the grandeur of St. Paul's Cathedral in the distance. This architectural juxtaposition showcases the rich history and religious significance that permeates throughout this iconic city. In this snapshot of time, we witness a vibrant street scene filled with activity and movement. On the left side stands the King Lud pub, exuding an old-world charm amidst modernity. A steam train gracefully crosses over the viaduct, while open-top buses navigate through busy streets. The image perfectly encapsulates early 20th-century London life - a blend of tradition and progress. It transports us to an era when public transport was dominated by omnibuses and steam locomotives ruled railway bridges. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are reminded of London's enduring Christian heritage as church spires punctuate its skyline. The photograph serves as a testament to Arthur St John Adcock's remarkable editing skills showcased in his publication "Wonderful London". This print from Heritage Images allows us to immerse ourselves in a bygone era where religion met transportation amidst stunning architecture – truly capturing the essence of Wonderful London during that time period.
