I did a quick google to look for News Theatres in the 1950s to see if I couldn’t pinpoint where this is and I came across photo another Redditor shared of their grandparents, practically in the same spot!

Here’s another view of this spot (taken from the next to the lions in Trafalgar Square, and featuring the Grand building with the same signs as in your photo):Â
