This print takes us back to the bustling streets of London in June 1922. The scene captures a lively moment at the Elephant and Castle, where a convergence of trams, buses, and subsidy lorries has caused a small traffic jam. The iconic LCC trams of classes B, A, and E/1 dominate the foreground as they proudly display advertisements for Selfridges and the Evening News. Amongst this organized chaos, a lorry catches our attention with its prominent sign promoting Pascall sweets. The image showcases not only various modes of transport but also provides glimpses into daily life during that era. Lampposts line the street while bicycles weave through traffic alongside motorized vehicles. This snapshot offers an intriguing glimpse into early 20th-century transportation in one of Europe's most vibrant cities. The historical significance is further emphasized by its archival nature – preserved meticulously by Topical Press Agency over the years.
