Location id please?

This is one of several shots taken by a magazine of road transport from Holborn Viaduct around 1963. Can anyone suggest which way up or down Farringdon Street the view is? There seems to be a tube station in the background on the right.

Note the The Victoria bar/pub! I wonder which junction that was on?

Excuse the large sizes please but I thought that they needed to be of sufficient size to be perusable.
