TFA describes a picture of 1965 Whitechapel High Road, where it meets Greatorex St. Here's the description from TFA:

> Whitechapel High Road, 1965 ... > > Without Brân’s watchfulness, it was probably inevitable that the French would sneak across the Channel. You can see them in a grainy photograph taken in September 1960, outside the Sailors’ British Society in Limehouse, eight men and a woman, walking toward the camera, dressed in tweeds and overcoats. They are Parisian intellectuals

> Sixty years later, the Spectacle saturates us in ways the Situationists never imagined.

Here's what that corner looks like 60 years later:

The link you provide looks like it'll be the corner shown in the photo in the article. The photo described is probably this one: https://libcom.org/article/fourth-si-conference-london - which I think is here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/mgWJB451fWpbX7JE8
