That's Tottenham Court Road at the junction with Oxford Street. The building on the left was demolished in 1928 to make way for the Dominion Theatre.

The bus on route 14, XN5034, is a Leyland LB of 'Omega', which they bought secondhand in 1924. It was their only bus and they kept it until replacement by a new bus in 1931. I cannot make out the full registration of the bus in front on route 284 but it is from the 'Overground' fleet and all their XT-registered buses were Dennises. It is going all the way to Hadley Highstone, north of Barnet. The covered top bus going the other way is a 'General' NS-type - the Metropolitan Police had only finally given permission for the operation of the covered top version at the beginning of 1926 following experimental operation the previous year, so this is an early one.

So we do have in fact a date in which this photograph was actually taken and that is July 10, 1913.

The Kingsway subway closed when trams were withdrawn from London in 1952. The southern end became a one way underpass for car traffic: the northern end is still in existence but is disused.

(Dons anorak) "A 33 was the Goons' Last Tram from Clapham."

The northern end of the Kingsway Subway is used as an emergency control room and was last used during the London 2012 Olympics.
