   it looks like you’re looking down Shaftesbury Avenue from Picadilly Circus. I’d say it hasn’t changed much apart from the cars, fashion and blatant cigarette advertising!

   Ah, but they are mostly gay men you see in the picture…looks quintessentially the West End, and it should do too!

   1949-1950…those were the heady days of our youth; of an unbridled innocence when yes, please! and cheers, actually meant something, when they didn’t use to punctuate every third sentence with a bugger this, or a bugger that.
   (thankfully, the popularity of the f word was
   still in its infancy).
   I just can’t take my eyes off this vintage picture you have here; love the smell of it to bits.
   Oh bring back ,bring back, oh bring back my classy baby to me, to me!

   Around a year ago I found a post on a forum with high-res WW1 photos, in colour.
   But for now, this is all I could find.
