When I first went to London in 1968 what struck me was how clean the streets were.
I agree with you, was there in 68 having just arrived from NI.and this is how it looked, great days,
They just can’t be arsed anymore
Than came the 70s and crappie all over the streets like a third world
The Tories refuse to invest ANY money in ANY public service - such as street sweeping (just one of many examples).....
@@ytnsanw always looking for a scapegoat.
the tories and labour are both bought out anyway.
the problem is the people are just scum now, too busy with "postcode wars" and other bullshit.
This was real London.
@El sole Yes it was much better
Agree Loved it
@Anglus Patria Fuck Cutler. V for Vendetta
@JTKUNKKU no fascism. No racism. #AntifaUK
yes the British were real British now its become a mix fruit juice - not being racist I am Asian myself
I imagined London to be like this when I moved there in 2007, oh boy I was in for a surprise...
Yes, a nasty surprise...And for most parts of London it's got a hell of a lot worse since 2007.
At least you made it out unharmed.
London in 2007 would have been a pleasant surprise. It has only turned sour since 2016 and especially since 2019. Just like the whole of the UK. Johnson's ego-trip Brexit has finished this country. We were once great. No more.
@@countfosco8535 this is nothing to do with political parties, this is to do with demographics, london is not english.
Good for you, for people of colour all they experienced was racism so…..
If you are feeling nostalgic for old London and the whole of the UK just blame our politicians who's mistaken master plan has changed the country out of all recognition !
Blame the globalist central bankers who appoint and control all of our leading politicians. They call their agenda the 'Kalergi Plan'.
Remember what Enoch Powell said ?
It was not their masterplan. The Kalergi plan. (The one desperately denied on various websites and platforms.)
@K90_ 2019 “Mass migration leads to genocide.”

@K90_ 2019 Sad ignoramus.
No moped gangs and acid attacks.
no... just IRA bombings
In 1960's ? Check your facts
@@Harryjw67 🤣
Fun thing is, the IRA mainly aimed to disrupt, not to kill for the independence of their homeland.
It's still in no way comparable to the absolute degradation we are witnessing nowadays
@@Harryjw67 idiot...
There's a certain sadness watching this.
@S B Clearly you have no idea what you're talking about another hurt snowflake laying the blame on others without knowing the facts
@S B yep thats what Africans did. Welcomed you in. Look what we got for that. 500 years of global supremacy. Western is simply code for WHITE
yeah its sad to see this london as we will probably never see a london like this again london today is a volatile shit hole
@Peter Biosah Yep good point...evening all....
@Jack Warner it's only hostile because you think everyone who lives here wants to stab you or rob you stop being paranoid
I miss those old routemasters - they really did keep London moving. It was so practical to just hop off and on..
They were not Routemasters. They were RT and RTWs
@@MrTonyHeath Actually of the only RTs one was gone from sight within two seconds of the start of the video and a split second flash-by of an RT with a Roof Route Number Box at 0.27 totalled about 3 RT seconds. There were no RTW's whatsoever. Aside from the odd Routemaster , nearly all the buses were in fact RTLs.
This dated the film to approximately 1965.... it could not have been earlier than 1963 (too many Routemasters) or later than 1967 (too few RTLs after then.)
Change is not always a good thing .
@@madandy3176 actually, from 154, routemasters were being introduced and being the main bus, the RT’s were be phased out and a few years after this they were gone .. I think it was 79. ? Last one out of barking … but generally the RM and RML were the best bus by far. And so nice to see one or 2 in shot new not 30 years old when I drove him but loved driving. The RML
@@fwof3347 Actually the first Routemaster was introduced 1800 years later in 1954 as a prototype!!! Prototypes aside they did not enter service as a fleet until later 1959 as trolleybus replacement vehicles and it was thet they started appearing on other routes and into Central London. If you consider the number of Routmasters made and subtract that number from the trolleybus fleet there were only to replace the RT types and that plus service cuts would have covered the RTLs and RTWs almost precisely. whilst leaving the 4500 odd RT's untouched by the end of 1968. Of course many of those were on London Country services, but the demise of the RT's really kicked in with the introduction of the DMs and DMs's
I was born in Islington London in 1946 so lived all through these amazing times. A mod through the early sixties then when I reached 21 I got a job as a Bus Driver with London Transport (Dalston Garage) and drove the number 9 and 11 Routes through the City and the West End for many years. Lovely video, brought back many good memories thank you. I live in Kent now and have not been back to London for at least 15 years. I want to remember it how it was..... 😔
Look how clean London was back then! it's so sad seeing the state it's in now.
We went around the world doing the jobs the indigenous were too stupid and ignorant to do. Like build roads, railways, water and sewage systems, medicine, law, stopping them from constant fighting, and living in total squalor.
I'm sure if a few aliens turned up with mega technology in exchange for some rocks we didn't know had any use, we'd have no objection.
But to be inundated with the very people who can't keep their own countries together, who then turn our place into their crappy societies ain't good.
I note the state of post colonial Zimbabwe, and the fact that the Hong Kong Chinese weren't particularly happy about decolonization.
Enough of that "stealing resources" crap. Did we steal Arabia's oil, or make them ultra rich with no effort from themselves?
Most of the Empire made a loss, and everything that we built for them fell to pieces soon after we left. South Africa used to boast the best hospitals in the world. Now look at them.
All that cultural marxist guilt trip stuff don't work any more.
Excuse me, look how filthy Tower Bridge is.
Jimmy is a dumb bitch
hellomikie92 no matter how much you sugarcoat it but world knows ugly history for britain france and spain these three motherfuckers looted whole world and now act as kings
jimmy mozart hey, don't pin this on all whites. Pin it on the ones who were in power back in those days and pin it on the ones who committed tragic things and not the whole race. And just so you know every color has had a bad past. But you don't see me blaming other races for the crimes that some people made with those skin colors.
My home town, I loved growing up in the fifties and sixties in London , felt safe wherever I went , day or night, what a shame how our country has and is becoming, but at least me and others like me have experienced it beforehand

@@deckhead33 - Judging by the drivel you've posted all over THIS and other similar uploads, one could say the same to you,
Beautiful words.
It was safe because it was majority indigenous British back then. When you fill a city with inhabitants of the third world you will quickly have a city which resembles the homeland of those who inhabit it
@@cody4916 Well said. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Beautful london wished it stayed like this peace and happiness on everyones face!!
The 60s. London was actually a British city back in those days.
just checked over the map mate and it looks as if london is still very much in britain... dont know wether you were refering to London, Canada or maybe London, Texas?... if so please do correct me if im wrong. cheers
I live in London, England and I can confirm it is no longer a British city
Mikaela ....It was as British then, as it is now !!! ...Stop talking bollocks!!! 😂
What I have noticed on this video however, is that ....There was no CCTV Cameras anywhere, and yet...
I didn’t see any vandalism, or graphites on the walls, or rubbish anywhere.
People were well behaved, even though, they were NOT being watched !!!
Which only goes to show that human beings are like children, the more you try to control them and tell them not to do something,
the more they will
@@chello70 Fucking libtard for it to be british it ought to live majority british people there.
@@Gnybr majority of people in London are still British you moron
This is the London i want to live in, not the horrid one we have now
I couldn't agree more
30 years from now people will be saying the same thing about the last decade. I remember in the 80s, my parents banging on about the 60s.
You should live in the jungle you ungrateful so and do
@@nathanhanson1320 who cares what you think lol
This is the London I remember.
This makes me so sad. I'd love to live in the London of the 1960s!
Born in 1950.I love the sixties. Miss those times.
even the people were beautiful back then. We need this london back
Central london has hardly changed, still is beautiful and one of my favourite cities
@@intercity4553 yeah but outer London has become a breeding ground for crime , terror, knife 🔪, islam
So sorry buddy but you know as well as I do, it will never happen😭😭. I live in Cornwall, thank God but I do have family living there but now they want out and to return to Cornwall.
@Lavender Pinkelle you have only joined CZcams in November, don't start having the attitude with people. If you don't agree, which you have a right, but don't get aggressive.

These clips look like they could have been filmed only yesterday, not the 1960s.... such good quality is the picture!!
Andy murday it is film...low quality logics are just todays stuffs. The images are constantly captured on 35mm films. 35mm can capture good quality image.
Andy murday look at beatles video clip. good quality too 😁
I was thinking the same thing.
That's the weird thing about time, it was "Only Yesterday"
The difference is if it was filmed yesterday there would be more immigrants in it, especially muslims.
This is the London that I remember, not any more looks like this make me sad
nah fam 2010s london is lit. chavs have pretty much been pushed out to essex and roadmen just stick to the south

@@roconnor01 London certainly has moved on, no go areas, knife crime thru the roof, police are scared to arrest muslims, I left the UK 20 years ago, thank God!
As a child I often travelled to London with my family from Denmark often two times a year. I remembered it as very nostalgic experiences. Favorite places: Picadilly Circus, Whitechapel and Oxford Street.
Whitechapel, are you sure.
The funny thing is if people even from the early 1980s London would have magically appeared in today's London, they would freak out at the cultural changes that have happened to London.
Wardenwarden warden Go look how Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq were before your country and its friends decides to blow up civilians and destroy their country.
Littletime IMMIGRANT????!!!!THATS FUCKING LAUGHABLE SINCE I WAS BORN IN CHELSEA TO ENGLISH BORN PARENTS MY GRANDPARENTS ALSO AND THIERS LMFAO THE SAME CANT BE SAID FOR YOU ITS OBVIOUS WHERE YOU COME FROM UNTOUCHABLE !!! WHAT CASTE ARE YOU RATED😂😂😂

Oh how I miss you sweet London I never knew.
Why did your population have to be replaced!
天照 Because of centuries of slavery, oppression and colonialism.
You are disgusting. Imagine having this much hatred for the people you depend upon to have a society. You are a Parasitic Leech.
天照 I gave a primary reason for why people migrate to the UK lol. Also your breath stinks because u smoke cigarettes 😅

population replacement... like what the Japanese tried doing in Manchuria ?
@Penguin Raining thunderstorms plane tickets would be fine
For those that are from the era of the Old London and Miss the look of how the city used to be give a thumbs up.
I was born in North London in 1960 and I remember London when it was a white British city and London will descend into a third world style city as coloured and third world immigration takes over London. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
London for me stopped being London after the 2012 Olympics when they closed down the Trocadero and turned it into a hotel, apart from the iconic entrance which is now a tacky tourist souvenir shop that still hasn't bothered to paint the walls!
Brings back memories of our wonderful capital city back then !!
Simply gorgeous and the clarity of this video is amazing... really puts you in the moment. Thanks for sharing.
Beautifully filmed . What a wonderful place in the 60s.!!!!
Ah the good old days before it was ruined
@K90_ 2019 all racists are evil. Good always wins over evil.
Exactly now i cant have chicken with salt and pepper no more. Now other cultures have forced us to add more ingredients.
Yes, memories of that London will die when you die, along with other racists.
Surely anyone and everyone can see what a hell hole London is today compared to back then , how I long for yesterday
Back when you could say this is England.

And you could call a spade a spade ..😎.
haha and there's nothing you can do about it, what goes around.
yep. The country that was built by plundering other developed nations. Yeah right, its cool.
It's not it's London
The music is perfect. Somehow sweet, sad, wistful and nostalgicly lighthearted all at once.

@@deckhead33 what's your heritage?...just wondering if you understand what the word "satirical" means?
@@deckhead33 Also, how does London [2021] look anything like London 1960's? The urban landscape and demographics are MASSIVELY different?
Crisp, clear imaging and bright colours of summer. A great contrast between the mini-skirted 60's dollybird and the bowler-hatted city gent. Sad to think that most of the people we see are now likely to be gone from this world. Recognised our turning south from Margaret Street into Regent Street. Towards the end we were in the city - Cornhill, I think, with the last clip in Fleet Street about opposite Chancery Lane, though I'll stand correction. Many thanks for sharing. Movies like this help remind me that my memory isn't playing tricks, that the world really was as bright and vibrant as my fading reollections.
Hmm, "Mini-skirted 60's dollybird and the bowler-hatted city gent" ...Steed and Mrs Peel!
Just think that The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Clapton, Hendrix and others were in the town a the same time....
They ruined the world, idiot.
@@titus3264 No. They helped make a large part of the world a better place. Before them, especially in the 30s-50s, Europe and the USA were rather gloomy. With the modern popular culture and its great art, everyday life became more colorful again and more personal freedom developed. Of course, it cannot be denied, that drug use also became more popular with them, without forgetting, that it has always existed.
Mind blowing
@@braudabo I absolutely agree, I lean conservative myself but all I really want is to return to the creativity, dynamism and optimism we glimpsed during the second half of the 20th century. You only see that these days in countries like Poland and China.
The real blame, as far as I can see, lies with 1) Left-wing academics 2) The globalist, society-hating, neoliberal, corporate elite class, and their degenerate media empires 3) The rootless, mincing political class who look down at their countrymen with a cringing sense of shame.
They have no allegiance to anything and have destroyed, on multiple occasions, gems of our culture and industry for nothing more than their own twisted pleasure (i.e. an ideology). The sooner we can put these people out of power and instill 1) A renewed national spirit and respect for our cultural heritage, 2) An equitable economical system closer to the style of e.g. Denmark, 3) Direct democracy of the British people in the style of e.g. Switzerland, then the sooner we can get back to having a real country and a real culture.

Prefer it now with more colour. Now it’s beautiful
@@deckhead33 our government prefer it nowadays too. Far more compliant.
I was fortunate to view this beautiful London in 1965. It is a brilliant representation except the absence of underground journey and the spirit of life near the Piccadilly Circus. It is different in the era of 2000, more crowded .
up regent street the other day, very busy, a lot of chinese families shopping , plus american tourists.
This is so fascinating. I'd love to see other districts in London such as Battersea, Clapham, Fulham, and even grittier, poorer areas like Catford, Sydenham, New Cross etc but in this same excellent quality. Thanks for sharing.

The REAL london
Not many cyclists back then.
Post-war austerity was over. Jobs were plentiful. Consumerism was in full swing.
People were unfit, diet was shit and bike technology wasn't invested enough .
Seb K You Britons invented the as we know it today! Bikes need proper infrastructure and that was something the Dutch came up with in the 1970s.
Trunk road schemes in the 1930s usually incorporated cycle paths. Proper ones, 6' wide in each direction.
When road improvements got under way again, after the post-war austerity was over, the road planners decided that cycle provision was wasteful, because the workers of the future would all have cars.
This was why cycle infrastructure development came to an end, and is only now being re-discovered.
I never knew that! Getting rid of them was such a backward step.
Before we were "enriched" (replaced)
@Peter Peter That's funny, since when were the modern left the protectors of the proletariat? Try getting a globalist corpocrat, the main champion of immigration, to admit the (proven) depressing effect mass immigration has on the average wage as well as social cohesion. Good luck!
A Marxist in the 1960s would have stood for the average English working man. The Marxist of the 2020s (which means, increasingly, everybody on the political left) stands for anybody who is NOT the average English working man. Yet you don't even make life better for the "oppressed" minorities you claim to defend.

Great HD quality. Thanks.
I lived in London in the 1960s and 70s when I was young it was a fantastic city.
The heart of the Empire in its twilight. Utterly charming.
Wow London looked more authentic those days. I wish time travelling was invented in present day.
If time travel were real... I would definitely want to see this. And experience the latter years of steam on the rail network back then.
Yes more authentic, it was an English city.

Wonderful style the clothing the cars... So much style... It has all become so distasteful...
Absolutely! Time when both ladies and Gentlemen took pride in their appearance.
I agree, it's all so bland and faceless these days, from buildings, cars and clothing.

Good quality images. You could also still park roadside...impossible now.
I find it quite sad to see the city we have lost.
Simply....Beautiful. Thank you so much!!
The quality of this video is insane. I can barely believe that these images are from the 1960s
Analogue Film reels are very high resolution by default... if the scanning tech is good enough it converts probably beyond HD without issue
Beautiful, it is just nostalgic. I wish I have experienced 60s London. What just amazed me about those times is how its... It's socio-culture... Live music on streets, people actually hang out with strangers, fashion... It is brilliant. My city Istanbul used to have a potential to be like this. Modern people, artistic activities, theatres... Unfortunately our current government ruined it, and now my precious country is down to some islamists who uses religion to gain power at ignorant parts of country, step by step they are destroying our education system and at the end we won't be able to get out of this situation. Now being a modern country just like London is a dream.
Kaya Demirolcen You wouldn't because of the sexism racism and homophobia which were very much still present.
First of all, Turkey is a secular state. Even our fucking president is trying to change this, half of the population in Turkey is proud to be secular, so I am. The ''racist cunts'' you mean is probably the radical Islamists who have been a puppet of the current government. So at least the educated side of Turkey have no hate toward any religion or nation. Make sure of it. Armenians can be free and spend time here happily at the cities which intellectuals are more common, Artvin, İzmir etc. Secondly, we didn't steal any of the lands of Greeks, Armenians or Kurds. Kurds had been silent until 1978 when PKK first became active. They aim to establish a Kurdish state in Iraq, Syria, and Turkey. Even though those Turkish cities they want is being Turkified nearly 1000 years ago, they claim those place as theirs. It is also funny to call PKK ''freedom fighters'' when they organize terrorists attack at big cities such as Istanbul and Ankara. By the way, Islamic Turkish group called ''Eastern Turkistan Republic Movement'' in Western China try to establish a new Turkish state; organized terrorist attacks to China and claim those lands as theirs, and those lands belonged to Turks thousands of years ago which is true, right?. I don't mean they do the right thing, actually, they do the wrong thing, but when they are considered as terrorists, why PKK aren't recognized as terrorists? Or China conquered and settled in those lands thousands of years ago, just like Turks settled in Anatolia, why China isn't accepted as ''racists cunts'' but Turks do? This idea of ''the first one who conquers a land, always owns that land'' is stupid. Then British (Anglo-Saxons) Germans (Germanic) and French (Franks) should go back to where they come from, Northern Black Sea (Those tribes spread to Europe while the Migration Period).
Lastly and most importantly, I want you to put yourself into my shoes. Many countries hate you and want to divide you, because of the current actions of a politician that wants to establish an anti-secular, Islamic dictatorship even though you support democracy and civil rights. What would you do?
Would you accept yourself as a ''racist cunt''?

From a place to love and be proud of to a cesspit in fifty years - why did we stand by and allow our country to be Von Glucked up?
You voted for the wrong politcians!
You know what I'm gonna say. ..... cause you know it too, cause it's true!! RIP
Wow... London was so different back then... I did not recognize London without the hijabs.
Well that’s because you’re VERY slow. Can’t really help you there
Wow looked so clean and safe.
Well half the west end was protected by the Krays or the Richardsons in 1965
