Rupert Street, looking north towards Isow’s Restaurant in Brewer Street. London 1950.

A bustling market on Rupert Street, London, in 1950. Looking north, the narrow lane is crowded with vendors and shoppers, mostly men in long coats, gathered around canvas-canopied stalls. Produce, including boxes piled high with cauliflower, is on display next to wooden handcarts. The cobbled ground is littered with the debris of a busy day’s trading. In the distance, at the intersection with Brewer Street, stands Isow’s Restaurant.
