La Bohème on Mile End Road back in 1931

• 

This is a street view of 1931. On the opposite side of the street, we see La Bohème Cinema on Mile End Road, London. We are looking from Grove Road towards Burdett Road. Later La Bohème was renamed Vogue. But unfortunately, the building was eventually demolished.

It is difficult to recognise this junction on the photograph as so many changes have been made to modernize the crossing and to make it safe for the contemporary traffic. Grove Road is considerably widened and aligned with Burdett Road. Also, the buildings are difficult to identify if we compare today's street view with the one back in 1931.

Now the question for you is, what pre-war cars do we see in the photograph? Please comment below.
