A pedestrian and a cyclist hurry across The Strand in front of an FX4 taxi, while another FX4 heads out of Lancaster Place towards the Aldwych. A Titan double decker on Route 1 prepares to turn towards Waterloo Bridge and its South London destination at Surrey Docks. A typical London street scene of the late 1980s.
1888 puts it in the William Ewart Gladstone era; but is it he? If not, who then? There are apocryphal stories of notable Conservatives confusing the NLC for a public convenience when on their way to the House. Perhaps this is one of 'them' leaving.
