Hanover Square

London, United Kingdom, December 1959 - Congestion caused by no parking controls in Hanover Square in the Mayfair area of Westminster, London. This photograph was captured on a historic film camera, which is part of it's beauty- so the archival look is presented well when printed, instead of ultra high-definition camera prints. Hanover Square – Black and White Street Photo, London, 1959. This black and white image captures a crowded lot of vintage cars and motorbikes in Hanover Square, located in London’s Mayfair district. With no parking controls in place, the scene is a grid of barely managed congestion, as drivers navigate a space not built for the volume. It’s a visual record of a city in transition—caught between tradition and growth, just before modern regulations reshaped the rhythm of central London. This print suits interiors that lean classic, metropolitan, or historically focused. A strong choice for collections centered on mid-century urban life.
