This is just one of 20 or so views of London streets and bus stations, taken by the late Edward Beazley in the 1970s, which have been passed on to us by Jim King.
Taken in May 1979, this one shows Fleet Street, looking east towards St Pauls Cathedral, although this is not quite in shot.
Here we have a view of the typical city traffic of the day, when the national newspapers were still produced in Fleet Street, before the controversial move to Docklands in the 1980s. In fact, the Daily Telegraph building, complete with its clock, can be seen behind the Austin FX4 taxi, KYM 845P, then about four years old.
