This captivating vintage travel poster, dating back to 1928, was issued by Southern Railway under the title "Visit London." Illustrated with intricate detail by Percy Padden, the poster features a vibrant depiction of Trafalgar Square, bustling with activity, and the iconic St Martin-in-the-Fields Church in the background.
St Martin-in-the-Fields is a historic Church of England parish located at the north-east corner of Trafalgar Square in the City of Westminster, London. The church has a rich history dating back to medieval times, with its location originally surrounded by farmlands and fields beyond the London wall.
The text on the poster encourages travelers to inquire about affordable weekend tickets for excursions at railway stations. Despite some signs of age, such as small tears, pinholes and stains, the poster is in remarkably good condition overall. It serves as a charming snapshot of London's allure in the late 1920s, inviting viewers to explore the city's vibrant landmarks and cultural treasures.
This is an Authentic Original Vintage Poster from its time. It's not a new reproduction.
