Buckingham Palace Road 1956
All we know about these photos of London in the 1950s is that they were probably taken by an American tourist. They are from the collection of Glen F who has a fabulous collection on Flickr and who says of the photos:
I’ve found that Americans tend to take pics of ‘mundane’ things that us Brits would take for granted and never photograph, like the sandwiches! So you often end up with some unusual subjects showing regular everyday life
