.....good point Trainman, I don't recall it being a one way street (either way) around 1964/5, but it may well have been at a later date.
It is not an offence to park against the flow of oncoming traffic, unless the vehicle is partly outside the "footpint" of the parking bay......then it's big trouble, including being towed away, or lifted onto the back of a recovery lorry.........at your peril.
A view can be seen here, #12 of some famous lads on the other side of Lower Wardour St., practically opposite the Flamingo, and cars are facing both ways.
...great cover picture, taken outside the famous Flamingo club in Lower Wardour Street, London (....been there, done that).
Georgie Fame had a residency there, and it was a Mod hangout.
Picture was taken I guess late 1963, early 1964, as the two young men leaning on the car (Mods) are wearing hand made three piece suits, and shirts with ties. A couple of other Mod youngsters are there in smart casual attire, and the young Mod woman facing away is wearing a pencil knee length skirt, 3" heeled shoes, and a wool cardigan over a check shirt, (often a mans shirt).
Note the parking meter in view, which means the two vehicles in view may have had to pay to park there, (some restrictions applied).
The car on left is a 1960 Hillman Minx Saloon (Sedan), a bit of a "Dad's" car, and very uncool.
The other car was totally cool, a Ford Zodiac Mk. II (1956–62), even cooler if it was the convertible version, but okay if a Saloon (Sedan).
