Piccadilly Circus time travel 1900-2009 (HD)

i hate how over time they have cut back the amount of signs.. by far the 60s was the best because it looks like that was the time when they had the most!

The signs get worse as does the music. Best time was the 60s to the 70s.

[valerock667]

wow the sanyo sign is probably the long lasting one in piccadilly circus!

[VOXS2]

[ShamilBasayev]

@khisanth75 Sure, I've got new Sanyo Eneloop rechargeable batteries in my digital camera. They are far better that Energizer stuff. I also use Sanyo battery in my Air Soft electric machine gun since 4 years. Also great stuff.

What an eyesore.

[ChiryuCityYonkers]

nicee video ! i luv it .. Piccadilly Circus is my best place in the world :)

[geebert]

Shame the signs looked worse the more time passed..

[VOXS2]

@geebert i think so.. todays signs there looks boring and now they tempt to make a large cloth with advertice on it rather then advertice with lights. Back then the first start of this video ive notice there was more advertice all over the place .. today is much less ? only just the big companys with the big brand LARGE names.. back then it has lots of tiny advertice all over making it more advertice display then what it is today.... i think.

[LowleyUK]

Great video, its amazing how quickly time passes.

[lausanne67]

God, reminds me how tacky and foreign looking it is now compared to even the 1960s!

[staypress]

@lausanne67 you got it in 1

[talktothehand9]

What is the song what starts at 0:23 and ends at 0:50?

[ShamilBasayev]

@talktothehand9 I think it's called "varsity drag"

[lausanne67]

Hasn't changed for the better, unfortunately. Same for England as a whole.

[LowleyUK]

@lausanne67 its definately got better, before it was just a plain wall, now its got futuristic lighting, I guess you are part of the generation that looks to the past but you shouldnt because the future is alot more exciting.

[Davidaiow]

Oh how it's changed! I wish there were more lights now! We could make it look so professional!

[trkishdelight123]

[LauraMarleen]
