EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene outside Victoria Station in London during the early 1900s. The grand Victorian architecture of the station's entrance stands proudly in the background, adorned with ornate signs bearing the names of various destinations on the continent and the Great Western Railway. The streets outside are alive with activity, as horse-drawn Hansom cabs line the curb, ready to whisk passengers away to their next destination. The cabs, with their distinctive hoods and high seats, were a common sight on the streets of London during this era, offering a quick and convenient mode of transport for those looking to explore the city or catch a train. The horses, harnessed and eager, add to the sense of energy and movement in the scene. The hustle and bustle of the station and the clatter of hooves on the cobblestones create a vivid snapshot of life in London during the Edwardian period. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of transportation in the city and the enduring allure of Victoria Station as a gateway to the wider world.
