The Good
The Bad
The Sad
The Mad
. . . and The Ugly

Enjoy your remarkable blog. It’s one of the best that I’ve read.
As a London Cabbie, I’m sure you’d recognized a photo I took in 1959. I would greatly appreciate knowing the name of the square.
You’ll find the photo at:

Thanks for your kind words. Can I use your picture of 1950s Piccadilly Circus in a future post?
Also do you have any other interesting old pics of London, I’m amazed how empty the roads and pavements are!
