The image is a black and white photograph of a busy street scene. The street is lined with buildings on both sides, and there is a large gate in the center of the image. The gate is made of metal and has two lanterns on top. On the left side of the gate, there are two men dressed in traditional British military uniforms, one wearing a red coat and the other wearing a white coat. They are standing in front of a building with a clock tower in the background.

There are several people walking on the street, some of them are carrying bags and other items. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the photograph is somber. The image appears to be taken from a low angle, looking up at the gate.
