This photograph captures the moment during the historic visit of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth to the newly constructed Headquarters of the London Fire Brigade in Lambeth, London, in 1937. In the foreground, a refreshment vehicle, adorned with the London Fire Brigade insignia, stands ready to serve the royal visitors and the assembled firemen. The vehicle, a combination of a mobile kitchen and a lorry, is equipped with shelves stocked with teacups, teapots, and jugs, as well as bottles and other drinks. Firemen in their distinctive uniforms, complete with helmets and leather aprons, can be seen serving tea and other refreshments to their colleagues and the visiting royals. The fire station buildings, with their red brick facades and tall chimneys, can be seen in the background, adding to the sense of occasion. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the daily life and traditions of the London Fire Brigade during the 1930s.
