EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur and excitement of London's Clubland during the historic 1937 Coronation of King George VI. The image, taken from Pall Mall looking towards Trafalgar Square, showcases the stunning decorations adorning three of London's most esteemed private members' clubs: The Travellers Club, The Athenaeum, and The United Services Club. The Coronation of King George VI, which took place on May 12, 1937, was a momentous occasion for the British people, marking the beginning of a new reign following the abdication of King Edward VIII. The route of the procession, which passed through the heart of London, was a spectacle of pageantry and celebration. The clubs, located in the heart of London's West End, were no exception to the festivities. In this photograph, we can see the elaborate decorations that adorned the facades of these esteemed institutions. The Travellers Club, with its distinctive red and white striped awning, is bedecked with bunting and flags. The Athenaeum Club, with its elegant portico, is festooned with garlands and wreaths. The United Services Club, a military institution, displays the Union Jack proudly from its flagpole. The scene is a testament to the rich history and tradition of London's clubland, which has long been a hub of social and cultural activity. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of royal celebrations and communal joy. This image is a must-have for anyone interested in London's history, royal events, or the social fabric of the city.
