The Casino Theatre on the corner of Greek Street and Old Compton Street in Soho (now the Prince Edward Theatre), London, 1950

On a wet London sidewalk in 1950, a man carrying a suitcase walks with two small dogs past the Casino Theatre on the corner of Greek and Old Compton Streets in Soho, now the Prince Edward Theatre. The building’s facade is covered in prominent signage for the "Latin Quarter 1950" nightclub, with posters advertising "Statuesque Nudes" and "Spectacular Sets." The glistening street reflects the overcast sky, capturing an atmospheric moment of city life as pedestrians and a vintage car occupy the scene.
