View of King William Street during celebrations of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. The building housing the entrance to the C&SLR is clearly visible on one corner; it bears the legend 'City and South London... The First Electric Railway...' at the top of the building; also destination sign to Oval & Kennington. The street is crowded and the buildings are draped with bunting and flags. A full garden seat horse bus is moving towards the camera in centre of photograph. The rear of another moves away on the left. A policeman stands in middle, back to camera.
