EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the vibrant and bustling atmosphere of Soho, London, in 1973. The scene unfolds at the corner of Berwick Street and Peter Street W1, where the iconic Wimpy Bar and Fratelli Camisa delicatessen stand side by side. The Wimpy Bar, with its distinctive red and white sign, beckons passersby with the promise of a quick and affordable meal, while the Fratelli Camisa delicatessen entices them with the aroma of fresh food wafting from its open doors. The photograph showcases the rich tapestry of trade that thrived in Soho during the 1970s. The open-air market on Berwick Street is in full swing, with wooden crates and stalls overflowing with an array of fresh fruit, vegetables, and other delicacies. People of all ages and backgrounds are seen shopping, chatting, and browsing, adding to the lively energy of the district. The photograph also highlights the unique character of Soho's architecture, with its narrow streets, colorful signs, and eclectic mix of shops and cafes. The gritty realism of the image contrasts with the polished sheen of modern-day Soho, making it a valuable historical record of a bygone era. Taken by Robert Stallard for The Museum of Soho, this photograph is a testament to the enduring charm and character of one of London's most iconic districts. It invites us to take a step back in time and experience the sights, sounds, and smells of Soho in the 1970s.
