Summer siesta - on London's roof-garden. With the River view of the busy Pool of London, and the garden, city girls take a well-deserved lunch hour break - high above the bustling streets of London. Captured on 25 May 1937, this photograph showcases a moment frozen in time between the wars. In this monochrome image, we see a group of young women enjoying their leisurely siesta amidst the urban chaos below. Perched atop Adelaide House, one of London's iconic buildings, they find solace in this rooftop oasis with its breathtaking views of the River Thames and the vibrant Pool of London. The photo exudes an air of tranquility as these city dwellers escape from their daily routine to bask in the warm summer sun. The juxtaposition between nature and industry is striking; while ships sail along the river carrying goods from around the world, these women find respite surrounded by lush greenery. This snapshot captures a unique moment in European history when life was both uncertain yet full of hope for brighter days ahead. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk as part of their extensive collection documenting twentieth-century Europeana photography, it serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos and change, moments like these can bring joy and peace.
