Possibly the 1911 dock strike?

what an amazing shot. I would be nervous getting in front of that scene with a digital camera -- that photographer sure was a brave one.

Number 8 bus from Mile end via Bank, Aldwych, Trafalgar Square. I think this might be somewhere round the Aldwych as there's a theatre on the right. Sadly, though it does still go past Bank, the Number 8 no longer runs this route.

Check out the fingerprint on the policeman's trousers

Well spotted!

23rd June 1911 it says. George V and May of Teck were crowned on the 22nd June. This'll be their coronation parade. I think the photographer has just got the date a bit wrong:-)

Actually, the "royal progress" was an additional event, on the day after the coronation. See an article in the NYT query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9402E2DA1E3EE233A...

The left-hand building has 5 Lombard Street on a sign and is an ABC Aerated Bread Company tea-room en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerated_Bread_Company The building next to it has office space to rent in January 2008 www.landmarkplc.com/lombard/Lombard_1.html This is close to the Bank tube station in the City of London.

Notice that the carriage horses are controlled by postilions, not a coachman.

The London Stereoscopic Company was founded in 1854 by George S. Nottage. As well as producing photographs, the company acted as a retailer for photographic equipment. The firm was successful in all branches of photography. From 1860 to 1862 the company was based at 54 Cheapside, London. From 1860 to 1861 it also had premise at 313 Oxford Street. In 1863 the company occupied 54 Cheapside and 110 Regent Street. From 1864 onwards it occupied a variety of locations on Cheapside, Regent Street and Bow Churchyard. The company was known by several slightly different names. In 1863 it is referred to as the London Stereoscopic and Photographic Co. and C. de V. Institute. From 1864 it was known as the London Stereoscopic and Photographic Co. Ltd.

again - damage done to a shop (by the Suffrage movement) that 'supplied' or was directly linked to HRH. Heroes !

This is probably Regent Street. Looking at the high-res image, I think the street name at upper right may be Glasshouse, which is off Regent Street. And at the bottom left, near street level is "108", According to 82.109.94.204/photolondon/pages/details.asp?pid=1249 the address for London Stereoscopic & Photographic Co was 106 & 108 Regent Street, Westminster from July 15 1890 - September 1922

Brian May (of the rock group Queen) and Elena Vidal " are seeking to recreate the magic of the company" and have just launched londonstereo.com/ It includes pictures of the store (without the damage) on londonstereo.com/introduction.html
