| Description | View from the west side of Piccadilly Circus, looking east towards the London Pavilion and Coventry Street. The Pavilion advertises "Garden of Wives". At the centre of the image stands the Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain with the statue of Eros. The streets are busy with buses and cars. The buses advertise Pears soap and theatre productions, including "Diplomacy" at Wyndham's Theatre. On the right of the image stands the Criterion Theatre and Restaurant. The caption on the reverse of the postcard reads: "In many ways, to see Piccadilly Circus is to see London. The scene here, at almost every hour, furnishes a remarkable comment on the serio-comedy of London life. Wealth and poverty, happiness and misery, mingle in a kaleidoscopic picture that, once seen, can never be forgotten". Postcard published by Valentine. |
