Can anyone help work out where this might have been taken? I don’t have much to go on besides it was London after my dad was demobbed from national service which was some time after the Suez canal crisis… So I’m guessing the picture is late 50s early 60s.
My google-fu is letting me down with the lack of landmarks to work with.

Looks like pall mall
I’m pretty sure it’s Pall Mall East looking east towards Trafalgar Square, somewhere around here: Pall Mall E

Pall Mall, by the corner of Haymarket. Facing in the direction of Trafalgar Square.
Postbox definitely isn’t there anymore as I pass it pretty regularly.
The picture was taken near Trafalgar Square, you can tell from the National Gallery in the background
Yup, almost exactly [here](https://maps.app.goo.gl/pmiEyQp5nNhx5hAfA?g_st=ic)
Looks like somewhere in London
rem Google lens could probably be used for this sort of thing
I guess it’s in London.
No need for thanks!
I though this was Reggie Kray at first
The postbox is still there on Google maps streeview OP.
I think it’s taken a little further west than already shown, outside what’s now ‘Wild Honey’: [Postbox on streeview](https://maps.app.goo.gl/mFGhcPR23Gw5cKDu7?g_st=ic)
