Vintage Postcards of Central London

The City of Westminster is one of the London Boroughs and is a city in its own right. It includes much of central London, including the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, Oxford Street and the West End Theatres, and is thus the most visited Borough.

We have a substantial collection of old postcards of Westminster which you may see by visiting "Postcards of the Past" - there is a link just below. Just a few are shown on this lens.

Westminster Pier

London, Westminster Pier

From the reverse of this postcard:- "Westminster Pier. This is one of about 45 piers on the Thames between Hampton Court on the west and Southend on the east. They are floating piers, made of iron, which rise and fall with the tide. Westminster Pier is almost immediately under the new buildings on the Victoria Embankment known as New Scotland Yard."

Westminster Abbey

Westminster Abbey

"Westminster Abbey, North Transept. This Abbey stands on the site of an Anglo-Saxon Church, built by King Serbert, about 616; the Danes destroyed it, but it was rebuilt by Edward the Confessor, and entirely renovated by Henry III and Edward I. The Facade of the North Transept was restored in 1890 by Scott and Pearson. In this part of the Abbey are the statesmen's monuments, and Gladstone's grave."
