Description: | An ancient highway leading west out of London, Oxford Street had become one of the foremost shopping streets in London by 1923. Its premier position was strengthened by the Central line railway that connects Oxford Street to many points in London.
There is a traffic jam at the east end of the street towards Tottenham Court Road Underground station on the right. A long queue of buses, cars and vans waits to use the junction with Charing Cross Road and Tottenham Court Road.
While the vehicles jostle for space on the roads, pedestrians do the same on the narrow pavements. Adverts above, selling everything from theatre productions to coal, vie for attention from the passing shoppers. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Leisure Cityscape | Temporal: | 12 Jul 1923 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
