The Angel
circa 1911
This bustling street scene from around 1911 captures the iconic Angel junction in Islington, a pivotal hub in Edwardian London. The photograph showcases a horse-drawn omnibus promoting Nestlé’s Milk, a street tram marked 565, and a lively mix of Londoners — men in bowler hats, smartly dressed ladies, and curious children.
Dominating the background is the majestic domed building known simply as "The Angel", once an inn and later a landmark for travellers entering the city. The streets hum with urban dynamism — a moment frozen in time from an age on the cusp of modernity.
