The dark coloured van directly below St. Paul's dome.

Perhaps a Morris Royal Mail van?

I don't think so; the Morris-Commercial Royal Mail vans were taller than this and the design of the front wings/fenders simpler. I'd suggest something like an old newspaper van, perhaps based on a Bedford ASYC.

You're right about it being another newspaper van, chris40.. News Chronicle this time judging by the side.

As you say the front wings are distinctive so I'm 90% certain its another Humber Snipe 10cwt van.

The radiator is not really visible (it may have been damaged?) but the bonnet and wings match as do the body.

OK, Sunbar, I'll buy that ... grille probably got damaged at the same time it lost the offside headlamp :(

Reused from here which seems to show Evening Standard side writing. Intrigued by the twin aerials.

The twin 'aerials'.... signs in a 'V' configuration removed from the roof leaving only the rear supports perhaps?
