03:12 The Austin car registration number RA 8910 is still around today. According the UK DVLA. It was last sold in October 2023. Date of first registration June 1929. Year of manufacture 1929. I wonder if the owner knows it's seen here in this video.
typo "form royal" instead of "from royal"
@@robertmartens7839 Oh how sweet. You finally popped your Cherry 🍒 and posted your 1st ever comment in 9 years. Classic example of a recently purchased NPC bot farm account
The “beggar” running after the royal carriage was not actually a beggar. He was a service man from the First World War, making a point about the broken promise of “a land fit for hero’s “ on return to England after a million soldiers had been slaughtered on the fields of France for the king and his kingdom. They were left unsupported and broken, no money, no work, while royalty and the government ignored their needs and lived in luxury. It was an utter disgrace.
Many could not, work, due to physical and mental injuries anyway; which also shortened their lives. The cost of those silk Top Hats , would probably feed a large family for months.
Thanks for that great information. Doesn't look like they gave him anything anyway. Nobody in that Royal carriage, as far as I could see, even looked at the man. The epitome of 'turning a blind eye' to the poor.
For it's Tommy this, and Tommy that . . . some things never change.
heroes (plural of hero, as you show you in fact know (soldiers, fields, needs) requires no apostrophe.

Oh how far we have fallen.
Great production BTW!!!
Notice how slim everyone is, how smart everyone is and what a shared culture everyone had!
Sky high metabolism because they all smoked like chimneys
Yeah we need that common culture back in the UK.
@@chrisstucker1813 Pre-tobacco societies must have been as fat as nowaday's Anglo-Saxon population on both sides of the Atlantic.
I'm a Londoner and I recognise most of the locations in these pictures. It's really quite magical to see them as they once were, 100 years ago, yet so easily recognisable. I've walked down those same roads so many times and a number of those buildings are still there. The aerial view of the Thames andTower Bridge was particularly interesting - so much development there now. This was the London of my great-grandfather and, because you've colorised them so beautifully, you've brought that London back to life, so that we might see a brief glimpse of it.
Wish i had lived my life through those years instead of today. Looks amazing. Great video.
Thank you very much !
Wow! That "motor scooter" @6:00 almost looks like a 2024 electric scooter haha
The Marxists first destroyed Russia and then used it to destroy Europe. And after the war,
they organized propaganda of Marxism at American universities.
And now we have the fact that in Russia there are Bolsheviks,
and in the West there are NEO-Bolsheviks!
My late father was in the Grenadier Guards during the twenties and served as one of Queen Alexandra's pallbearers at her funeral.
There is so much of London that has remained the same for over a hundred years!!! Beautifully done ❤
Thanks a lot !
Beautiful photos and wonderful colourisation which really brought them to life. Thank you posting them.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it
Wonderful, the video, the music, your kindness and pleasure at what you do shining through, not least in your gentle voice. Well done, all of it ... greetings from a small town in Sicily, Angelika
Not changed much , has it ?
The residents seem somehow different now .
That's the great thing about time. THINGS CHANGE. London is completely different nowadays. It used to be a complete sh!thole , it's not anymore.
@@Dark_Bandon
It was a shithole, then it wasn't, now it is again.... with the added benefits of looting mobs, stabbings, shootings and acid attacks.
The British were out in the countries of the Empire getting to know the people of the rest of the world.
@@Lily-Bravo Empires were a thing all over the globe, history happened, funny thing is we gave everything back and retreated to our little island, could you say the same about other empires?
@@Justin-yt8zv I am aware of the doings of other countries, and realistic about ours. In 1979 I travelled extensively to Pakistan and India and met a lot of people and was expecting negative responses about the Empire, but strangely the people we met were complimentary about those times.
Absolutely excellent video, well done you! And watching the footage really puts Khan’s “modern” London into perspective doesn’t it?
It's footage not reality. if a time machine took you back there and forced you live in the way most people had to put up with, you'd be begging to come back to 21st century medicine, wages and conditions. Of course you'd imagine yourself as an aristocrat swanning about, not down the pits or cleaning toilets.
Does it? In what way, precisely?
This comment smacks of racism!
@@topmum100 😂😂 if in doubt, get the race card out. It’s nothing new though, the German people under the Nazis were calling out each others neighbours saying “Jew lovers!“ and “there’s a Jew in their family!“ in order to penalise them socially. And here we are, in 2024 doing exactly the same thing, I’m sure our recent forebears would be oh so very proud.
@@beresfordquimby surely, it’s obvious? The comparison between London then and London today. The correlation is extraordinary isn’t it? How the demographics have changed so radically in such a short period of time. The levels of crime et cetera have exploded exponentially
MARVELOUS ! SUCH CLARITY & REALISTIC COLOUR.
Thank you very much!
Black noticeably absent... stop Islam
Yes Absolutely Excellent Production
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it
I normally avoid these clips as they tend to be naff “school projects” but this came on in my shuffle and I’m glad it did because you didn’t use well known overly circulated photos - most of these I have never seen before and so I found it absolutely fascinating and thought provoking. Thank you for posting - I am now subscribing 👌
Wonderful. Thank you. It's strange to think that my father was born in 1921 in the east end. But not as strange as knowing that my grandmother was a Victorian, born in 1899. London and the world were very different places back then and not always better.
カラー化すると何が良いのか 本人が笑っている表情がわかること モノクロではそれが分からないが カラー化することにより 顔の表情にリアル感が現れて素晴らしい写真になります
I enjoyed watching these nostalgic documents tremendously ! They're so endearing that one wishes one could really take a trip back in time. You did a beautiful colorization job ! Thank You !
Thank you so much, I greatly appreciate it.
If only it was like that now.
With a world war just gone and another soon to come?
it still is; Abject poverty beneath the boot of the elite...
No empire anymore. Now we have a politically corrupt class and an ignorant electorate.
Fascinating to see London as it was when my father was just nine or ten years old. He was brought up in Islington an area not covered by these photographs, but I am sure he saw these scenes.
Thank you for the Beautiful photos they are so interesting but sad as well.
Thank you so much
Excellent Production Thankyou
😀👍
Bravo 👏🏻 wonderful to see,Thank you ❤
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it.
One Of the best quality selection I have ever seen, thank you so much for sharing it with us. Fantastic work.
Thank you very much, I sincerely appreciate it
Superb, thank you for showing us how lovely our capital was! As per the song, "One day we will meet again!" Rule Britannia..
Merci pour ces magnifiques photos qui relatent la vie de l'époque. Nous sommes chanceux d'avoir ces images. Paix à toutes ces personnes.
Merci beaucoup
Not even the dust has been left.
I actually want to go back in time . As I know what the future holds for this country.
Thank you for the wonderful 'Time Travelling' experience. Colour makes it so very immediate
Thank you very much, I sincerely appreciate
@@BrightStyle As a 75 yr old what I value is the gift you have left me of the world my grandfather (b 1889) and grandmother (b 1891) was like in colour. It makes it 'seem' so much more real. Makes 'Time Travel' an easy trip. Love history and old ghosts.
Really interesting thanks for sharing
It's profound to think all these people are gone. They look so alive.
RIP London
Sad to see what it turned into
Puts me in mind of "The Marathon Man" You should see England while it's still there.
The Marxists first destroyed Russia and then used it to destroy Europe. And after the war,
they organized propaganda of Marxism at American universities.
And now we have the fact that in Russia there are Bolsheviks,
and in the West there are NEO-Bolsheviks!
How does London looks like now ? 🤔
@@761.Smith- like Bagdad
@@vco7531 Really ? 🫣😱, so sorry to hear that !
I love your wonderful historic videos! I encourage you to add in music that better reflects the eras you unveil to us.
When it said colourised I thought it meant like every British Advert post 2018.
It's supposedly down to esg marketing for profit, and not just creating the illusion of a more inclusive society
haha! Yeah, imagine giving minorities opportunities! bellend
@@MrVidificationit’s about conditioning people to think it’s normal, when it isn’t.
Or are blacks the big money spending consumers now?
How does mixed race families everywhere increase profits?
Bullshit.
Kalergi plan. Great replacement. Have a look
This is wonderful. Great work enhancing and colouring..
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it
I absolutely love your stuff. Addicted to your content.
Thank you so much.
Thank you very much, I sincerely appreciate it.
Thanks for sharing this amazing video ❤🎉
Thank you for your comment!
I love those motorised scooters they had, that little American two seater car, and the motorised pram. They seemed to have had lots of inventive vehicle manufacturers.
Enjoyable as always. Thank you, very much.
Thank you very much, I greatly appreciate it.
The picture at 2.34 captioned "The heart of London's West End. Daily life street scene in 1929" is actually taken next to Victoria Station as you can clearly see. The clock tower is still there.
Phew! I can now sleep contented in that knowledge.
Additionally there is an Austin LL taxi in the picture so after 1934 unless there is a Time Machine somewhere? Still a good picture and nicely tidied.
The picture of the dinosaur being pulled from the pond, curious, why would four policemen be pulling it from a pond?
It's such a shame that time travel isn't possible. I would really love to go back to these historical places and times.
Thanks for another wonderfully put-together video! The 1920s are my favorite decade in time.
That's because you were not there. Life in the 20's was terrible for the normal working people of Britain. 1 million families still morning the men lost in WW1. Broken ex soldiers and broken promises of a better tomorrow from the government , mass unemployment, sickness and diseases. Plus whole lot of violent crime because former soldiers accustomed to the brutalities of war brought it home with them. I'm old and my grandmother once told me the best thing about the German blitz was the slums of London got razed to the ground. Be thankful you live in the 21st century.
stunning, really loved them all, so clear, great job😊
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it.
Beautiful pics so evocative of a "lost" London. I was surprised how many cars were on the roads
Glorious pictures, with wonderful soundtrack. Everyone is so well dressed, even the laborers (or is it labourers?) Thanks for the memories.
Thank you very much, I sincerely appreciate it.
Yes, it's 'Labourers'
Thank you, for posting it, i really enjoyed it.
Thank you so much
Love these old photos 👍🏻looking at the fashions of the day and everything in general ,I hope you have more to look back on 😄
Except for East End, everything was so classy, beautiful and clean! Thanks for the lovely photos.
Without the East End of London back then , they wouldn’t have enjoyed the class they did in the West End or Central London.
Insanitary slums weren’t just confined to the East End they were everywhere. Pollution in winter in particular was appalling and malnutrition and disease carried off thousands prematurely. These pics are indeed beautiful and the privileged few lived elegantly but they were most definitely ‘the few’
@@gerardmackay8909 oh would you shut the fuck up about how it’s so much better now. You’re convincing nobody and it’s painful to watch you try and convince yourself.
Amazing colourising makes me wish I was back in those days, they had incredible fashion, handmade shoes that lasted for years. Actually I’ve always wanted to go back in time to this era. Imagine how good the food must’ve tasted, no artificial anything or additives., my mouth is watering just thinking about the wholesome goodness.
You want to go back wealthy... It was shockingly bad if you were unfortunate enough to be poor
Average life expectancy 1920. Males 56, females 59.
Little sanitation. Many families sharing a house and only outside toilet. No thanks😂😂
If you were one of the `gentry` who only walked as far as the motor car then your shoes may have lasted for years. The rest of us paid regular visits to the shoe mender for new soles and heels.
I looked at the shoes all the way through. I hate the shoes of nowadays. I still have some of my favourite shoes of the late 1970s, Wished I had kept the ones from the 60s as well.
Amazing work...thank you.
Excellent Prodection Thankyou - It was real and Fun
Thank you so much!
KIA ORA; I can almost taste the stuff from donkey’s years ago. Another great posting so keep ‘em coming.🇦🇺
Yes, and I wonder what Gilbey's 'invalid port' was like; hastily forgotten, I imagine.
Wow London has always been bustling and very well put together video!
Greatings from germany
The music in the background is so beautiful. Amazing work. Congratulations. I subscribed to your channel, and I gave you a like. I hope that helps you a bit.
Thanks a Lot !
45 sec into this, music images, all was great. Thanks.
Wow, I really enjoyed this, thank you.
Thank you very much for your comment, I really appreciate it.
Wonderful, thank you.
Have to say well done, your process has evolved quite a bit!
Fabulous collection!
I loved this thank you
The viewing time for each photo was perfect.
The motorised scooter.. talk about full circle. 100 years later and people today are zooming around everywhere on the EV equivalent..
Dziękuję ❤
Thank you for not going so fast that we dont get time to look at the photos. Xxx
Great photos! And really nice selection of laid-back music!
Thank you so much !
I liked the music as well.
Great video thank you ! 😊
WONDERFUL....😊
The couple at 6:09 segwayed on their scooter right into the current scooter trend 🤣
With all the great British 20s bands, I’m surprised at the music choice
If you use music which is subject to copyright then CZcams will block your video. Some of the pieces used are from a wide selection of copyright free music available on CZcams.
I enjoyed the music choice, despite them not being particularly 1920s. The jig has words you can sing to it Steeleye Span sung a version. Love the blues music.
@@rjmun580 wouldn't the copyright have expired on everything from those days?
@@rjmun580 im pretty sure music made 100 years ago falls under public domain by now

Very nice, I left a like. At just before 5mins the Royal Mail Delivery is really a Royal Mail Collection, because the postman is emptying out a postbox, he's not actually delivering.
Sad too see how much we have lost as a culture, attitude to the world and each other.
Class distinctions? Poorer women having to go into service and not having education? Poverty and children smoking?
Before we had everybody elses culture forced on us😢
@@nowhere982 Don't be daft, we conquered the world and copied what we liked of country's culture, cuisine and language. I bet you have a lot of American culture in your life now. Food, clothes. language. All of your own free will.
Post war immigration has ruined London.
@@nowhere982 And British culture and colonisation forced upon people around the world. The chickens are coming home to roost for the British.
Needed to see this ❤️❤️ Very fitting song
Thanks ❤
Everyone seemed so smart then and had self respect
wonderful footage. go on!
Thank you !
The collection of buses at 2.43 was a response by London Transport to the disruption of rail services at Victoria Station after an incident/accident. Some of the buses pictured wouldn't have been made until the mid/late '30s (the "STL" type)
Loved this ❤
Thanks
I love the “goodbye Marie” song. Cannot find it anywhere on the internet. Does anyone know who is the singer/author.
0:52 Truly amazing service at London Paddington. We don't get this luxury nowadays.
Brilliant stuff 👍🇬🇧
That was lovely to watch
Thanks
Love the superior air of the toffs.
I loved this vídeo!
Thanks
gracias
They'd roll over in their graves if they could see it now.
Brilliant!👍👌👏
Thank you so much !
2:30 That’s Victoria Railway Station in the background. Little Ben clock tower can also be seen in it’s original location.
...in the late '30s (some of the buses in view weren't made until about 1936 (the wooden-framed standard 'STL' type, a few of which still exist )
Exquisite.
Stanley Baldwin was Conservative Prime Minister three times in the 1920s, holding the post for over seven years.
WOW!! It's hard to believe that London was once a respectable place where you could feel safe and not accosted. That it wasn't outwardly at least, a gangland suffocating in drugs, crime, knife violence and so on
What a silly comment. It's never been "a respectable place where you could feel safe and not accosted". Then, as now, if you go to certain parts it's risky (though way less risky now that it was then), other parts less so. You're clearly not a Londoner. Have you even been there? Have you ever read any of the accounts of how it was back then, the soaring crime, the daily violence, the deprivation, the health crises? You people...
@@beresfordquimby I love how British people complain about the immigrants when the factual problem is the "House of lords/Wannabe americans club" destroying the countries economy, and pushing people to desperation.
I was a gullible Norwegian that until my early/mid 20's thought britain did alright, then i watched a recent documentary where the damn kids live with barely 3 meals a day, and it was common for kids to have untreated skin conditions as the parents had to juggle money for gas and electric.
House of lords should be abolished and all their populists thrown in jail.
Much of London has not changed much in a hundred years. Motorised scooters and such were revolutionary back then, and so promising, however they kind of disappeared from interest and public eye for 75 years
Fantastic work! Thank you. I got such a thrill looking at these picture, many of which were 1925, the year my Dad was born. The contrast between rich and poor was very evident.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it
Oxford Circus is one of the few interchanges in London with champfered corners - commonplace on the continent, Barcelona for example is full of them. They are a pedestrian-friendly feature of street design.
I love these but definitely one or two factual adjustments would be helpful - for example, Stanley Baldwin, was not only half of a "power couple" at the time, but Prime Minister for much of the 1920's! But these are wonderful, and I much appreciate this fantastic project. Yes, London has changed much of course, but it is still entirely recognizable from a century ago!
Some scenes are familiar to me. I received my fire brigade training at Southwark training centre where that arch was. (Firefighter jumping from window). That was in 1991. I know the place has been levelled since then - but maybe that perimeter wall where the arch was, is still there.
thanks for sharing, this just shows that electric cars and traffic jams are not a modern problem, they always been happening. Interesting
Super!
They look more free than we do today
