The Strand
This is an anonymously published postcard showing the view from Charing Cross looking east along The Strand. The second bus at the bus stop outside Charing Cross Station is carrying an advertisement for “White Cargo” at the Playhouse Theatre, the play ran for three years at four London theatres. At the Playhouse, it ran for a year from May 1924 until it transferred to the Fortune theatre, then the Princes and lastly the Strand. There is a Bow Street police constable on traffic duty at the junction with Duncannon Street which at this time was two-way traffic. Duncannon street and the west end of the Strand became one-way streets on 26th April 1926 when the Trafalgar Square gyratory system was introduced.
