Niiiiiice one, thank you!
 I have the feeling it might be Trafalgar Square or St Martins in the Fields, what do you think?

Don't know London very well, but if you google the pictures of St Martin in the Field certainly look like the one in the photo.  :) :)

Think it's both - St Martins in the background and the Square in the foreground  :)

I lived close by for a few months in my student years!

And about 1905-1910ish judging by the length of the lady's skirt in the background, depending on how fashionable she was...

At least she's decently clothed!
Our lad was once called to a house in St John's Wood. The door was answered by Tallulah Bankhead completely in the nuddy.  :D

St Martins In the Fields looks good
Matey with the bike is wearing Plus Fours. Though these originally came out in the 1860s, they only gained popularity in the 1920s.

Hello there
Definitely St Martin in the Fields and certainly not the beginning of the century. Policeman's uniform must be a clue ( sorry can't help much with that) but the bicycle is 1920s as are the clothing styles.
