Flower seller at the Eros Statue

Beneath the iconic Eros statue in Piccadilly Circus, a flower seller offers blooms to a group of well-dressed Londoners. The year is 1925, and the heart of the West End buzzes with life—horse-drawn carts and early motorcars pass beneath glowing advertisements for Venus soap and Army & Navy chocolates.

Scenes like this were once everyday moments: street vendors working tirelessly in the capital’s public spaces, providing colour and fragrance amid the urban greys. The woman at the centre of this image, wrapped in a patterned shawl, stands proudly by her basket of fresh-cut flowers. The interaction is simple and timeless—a human connection exchanged through a bloom.

Today, this corner of London is still busy, but much has changed. Help us preserve the past—
