From a Facebook post.
Frith Street, Soho, 1948 Click the image for a sharper version. In addition to the model of 7, there are other five cars to identify....

The Austin is only20 years old, possibly saw little use through war years, but looks distinctly used. Many cars are now hounded off the road for pedantic reasons, but it is not common to see even 25 year old cars that look very run down.
Even I can rember the 1960s when could often park almost anywhere anytime except downtwn in large cities during work days. What is car behind shoulder? Too early for Sunbeam 10?

I think it's a rather larger car than a Sunbeam Ten, Bob; maybe a TA14 Alvis or a Mk IV Jaguar?

That's a "Hartingdon King" bristle brush, I'll swear...

Hi Tony
Maybe a Talbot 3 Litre ? This may be of interest, it's all about a barn find example: https://www.oldclassiccar.co.uk/forum/ph...sc&start=0 The street sweeper seems to be doing a pretty good job !

The atmosphere depicted is very redolent of post war Britain but some features in the photograph can still be seen today. eg: the Palladium columns half way down the street.
The Istanbul Cafe was very popular, apparently during the war years, and images of it can be found on the web.

I thought down the street facing it looked like my old Morris 8 series E.
