A lovely little film of old London shame its not in colour but still a good peice of film back when everything was calm and good 😢😢🙁
‘Black Rednecks and White Liberals’ - Thomas Sowell. Should be a copy in the local library.
8:32 - THIS BEAUTIFUL lady MUST BE a DISTANT RELATIVE of ELIZABETH TAYLOR with THOSE EYES!!! 🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍
Love this channel! Wish I could visit in person.
Wow, so many locations and buildings look like they're right out of a 1920s German impressionist film
They do! There is an interesting article which touches on the modernism of some the images here: www.atlasobscura.com/articles/society-for-photographing-relics-of-old-london You can also see all the images from the collection here: www.londonpicturearchive.org.uk/collection?i=322335&WINID=1721385254682
Hello LMA, thank you for sharing, could anyone please tell me might there be an image of Fleur de Lys court, Mount Pleasant ?
Hello! A good place to start your search is www.londonpicturearchive.org.uk/ you can search via keyword or find the location you are interested in on "London Picture Map" feature.
I love the the Barbican have just taken up membership to encourage me to visit more often!
As a french traveller a long time ago, I followed the way from Barbican Center underground to St Paul. But it was so difficult to find one’ s way among all the buildings under construction, that I finally rent a native guide to comment the visit. I am discovering now the new buildings from the last videos. Nostalgia, Nostalgia...
I like the footage of the young Alberto Contador in that film, Cool. Did not realize that he used to do his training rides in central London.
Worked there in the 80’s for BT hard to find your way in and hard to find your way out …a concrete jungle
Aaah....when it was all clean New looking & safe to walk the streets without fear .... RIP London 😮 I wonder why it all went wrong after this era ....😮

Most of them stopped at red lights too. Not like today, they’re a menace on the roads.
I grew up in Abbey Wood when Thamesmead was new. It seemed to have been designed for hooligans, with boot-level lighting on the walkways. Between where I lived and Thamesmead was the caravan site, from where feral kids terrorised us. People look back on those days with rose-coloured glasses. It really wasn't so great.
Wow what a snapshot back in time, people arnt acting like theyre in 1974 they ARE in 1974...splendid
All I see in London are Grenadians and Jamaicans. Bless up the ancient Britons have returned. If you know you know
R.I.P EIIR. Charles's Beloved Mother. 70 Years Reign on the Throne of The UK and The Commonwealth 1952-2022. Elizabeth 1926-2022. Final resting place at Windsor Castle, down in the Valut of St George's Chapel.
Arthur Wellesley & Robert Peel did meet each other. Ive seen their picture portrait.
Here's a British History Information Fact for you to know. Sir Robert Peel (1788-1850) a Skillful Politican became Home Secretary in 1822, carefully made police reforms without arousing the public fear of intimidation. He believed in crime prevention rather than relieving on punishment as a deterrent. In 1829, Legislation was passed by Parliament to establish the Metropolitan Police in London, a single Force for an area roughly within a circle of seven miles from the centre of London. Colonel Sir Charles Rowan & Sir Richard Mayne became the first new joint Commissioners with the Headquarters in for Whitehall Place known as Scotland Yard.

Post war architecture wasn't good enough.
Bet it doesn’t look like that now !! 😢
My family moved here in '72 when I was just 6. It was every bit as good as this and I have nothing but great memories of living here. We lived on Maran Way and I think that some of this was filmed very close by. We moved out in 1977 which, by the sounds of it, was probably a lucky escape as I've been led to believe that the place rapidly went to pot in the years following. Such a shame that so much potential went to waste. It really was a great place to live and they had very high standards for potential tenents. If only they'd maintained those standards, Thamesmead might have become a beacon of what's possible with good planning.
Julie Dawn Cole as played Veruca Salt. In Charlie & the Chocolate factory.
This film is the prequel to Logan's Run.
Just caught up with viewing the rest of this talk. Fascinating. Thank you very much.
And for the other side of the story: The RFH was built between 1950 and 1952 with a designed life of 6 years, as, like the rest of the Festival of Britain, it was a recovery stop-gap until some fuller plan could be devised. However, geographically, the same factors that made it a viable site for the Festival made it suitable for an entertainments venue. In 2015, I shone in their in-house Community Choir, VoiceLab, in the Curator's Concert in the annual Summer Meltdown festival - you'll find it on here, David Byrne Atomic Bomb! We'd not heard the full line-up, effectively because nobody knew who'd make it - we had performers coming in straight from Heathrow! So when I saw who we were working with, we had to up our game, and I added the choreography literally as the choir went on. That saw me promoted to Stagecraft Mentor embedded in a start-up male voice group, intended to strengthen the main Choir. It went well, but the next thing we knew was Southbank was at long last fixing its many problems. Rattling rebar in the walls, Thames mud infiltrating the concrete in the sub-basement rehearsal rooms, the others in the roof an utter sauna in the summer, Admin camped out nearby, roughly what you'd expect from a 70 year old building twelve times its designed life. Fire safety backstage is a major issue. Add in a pathetic acoustic and the imminent return of Simon Rattle, they decided without consultation upwards on a project to renovate and add a glasshouse between the RFH and Queen Elizabeth Hall. It was only once the architects had finished and the first work started in the QEH that they publicised it, telling us we'd have a year off. Hovever, HM Treasury got to hear of the cost, around £120m, and immediately vetoed it, effectively bankrupting the place. VoiceLab was no more (not that it cost them anything, we were paying subs!), and the Creative Director, Jude Kelly, found her budget slashed, so she left, taking her contact book with her. Then Covid hit, and the chaos was complete.

AT 16:25 the cyclist was very casual about nearly being killed by a car running a red light... great footage, love the Sam Brown belts, battery lights, nasty steel racks and Karrimor panniers, all essentials of London commuting.

It's nice to see London looking quite English!

Gosh it was easy to get a flat.
She reminds me of Veruca Salt.
i doubt it but it'd be kinda funny if this got shown to that mensa los angeles member cos i wonder what their reaction would be
Ronnie's coach Dave Brazzell said one major problem he's had is convincing skeptical adults that Downs' Syndrome children can learn the complicated steps and maneuvers in gymnastics. Then, when the evidence is right in front of them, the same adults express skepticism that these kids really are mentally challenged.
i have worked loads of times over there, up on the roofs
That London died, years ago.
Why didn’t this work? Two reasons, and this applies to any of these estates: the people who live there need to care and the council or housing association need to care. If one of these pillars is missing, it goes downhill very quickly.
Thanks, colleagues. Very interesting 😊
Unfortunately london is mostly not English

Sadly the bit where they filmed for Clockwork Orange is gone now and replaced with modern architecture.
