lets not forget that even though our capital has been swamped and ruined that there are still huge swaithes of England that are still like this film - and we must act now to keep them that way!
Beautiful. I don't want to just say what has London become, but also what have our country and people become? We are too greedy now and lack respect as everything is spoon-fed to us. :( This really made my day TOPCAMERAMAN, I am utmost grateful.
I spent many hours as both a child and a teenager out and about in London and this takes me right back to those times immediately, how can fifty plus years pass so quickly? Thanks for posting, a marvellous piece of film saved for posterity, well done!!
Hello, I so pleased you have enjoyed the film clip of Londondon the music is copyright whitch comes with my Avid video editing suite very expensive thank you for your comments.
00:57 my sister lives in the Oxo Tower Wharf now and look! there's smoke coming from the chimney stack of Bankside Powerstation (closed in '81 it seems) now of course, the Tate Modern
People used to communicate so much better back then.. Our world has been brought down by the secrete societies.. Mainstream media, war, famine, etc. Fuck the illuminati
was a small boy then..50 now..been living in the USA since 76 but remember this England well..was luicky to know just how fantastic it was then..doubt Id go back even to visit now..not enough old fashioned values to hold up what was once meaningful..imports & kids could care less & wouldnt relate anyway..farewell old England..always in my memory..how lucky was I..
Beautiful footage and great soundtrack. Thank you very much for posting. Reminds us of what we have lost and where we went wrong in the past 50plus years....it could so easily have all been different. The pestilential problems we face can all be laid at the doors of successive governments and their policies.
I think some people here are fighting against something that has already happened:CHANGE!!!World was spinning perfectly round before you,and it will also after you.
Hi, What a great film. I remember London in those days. My grandmother & granddad would take me to London when I was over from Holland. (English mum & Dutch dad). Haven't been there for a while and am 59 now. And ,yes I will have changed, but does't that happen to all of us? Could you please let me know what the music is with this video? I think it's so beautifull. Thanks for the upload. Gerard
Innocence, days before the internet, before cctv, when skies were cobalt blue and the clouds always snow white, when I was little, when my father was still a young man, when there seemed to be space everywhere to run and play, when British music was the best in the world. It makes me happy and sad at the same time to watch this, those days that were and never will be again.
@adamkincaid1234 Re: "those days that were": "Into my heart a wind that kills, from far off country blows. what are those blue remembered hills, what spires what farms are those. That is the land of lost content, I see it shining plain; the happy pathways wither I went, and cannot come again".
It's sad that you can't enjoy this archive footage without seeing venomous neo-nazi/ EDL bilge in the comments section. What has the UK become? A nation populated by Dail Mail reading, god-fearing rascist vermin.
@martydee shut up the edl are the only ones left with any balls that white girl in leicester who got really battered in leicester in a racist attack by 4 muslim girls its on video clear shouting white bitch they 4 month suspended sentence and no mention of racism,now a white shouted racist abuse and got remanded in prison a white man for shouting muslim scum got 8 months prison these bitches got nothing for battering a white girl.so in january big edl demo protecting our white sisters,u traitor.
@martydee you wish prick,why not tell them that instead of being a laptop warrior the edl are ordinary guys most of them there a few nutters but they don,t put bombs on tubes or fly planes into buildings or they never killed any one and i have never seen anyone drooling i saw pakies trying to smash up a coach full of edl they were drooling,and every human being with 2 hands can wipe their arse i never have a problem and i am sure my white sisters don,t either,go and speak to my white brothers,
@september7891 I suppose the most fascinating thing about this little exchange is that the EDL have always claimed *not* to be a rascist movement. So, it's good that their supporters have proved that they in fact, are.
@martydee really? if a leftwinger call me a racist i will agree with him never will i shit myself over being called a racist,and if a nazi calls me a jew lover for being in the edl i will agree with him too,why can,t you understand that real racists hardcore racists despise the edl we have the dubious pleasure of being called antiracist jew lovers on one side and racists on the other hated by the guardian and the mail uaf need an enemy to unite such losers the great unwashed,be more intelligent
@martydee so remembering better times and a saner britain is racist then? jesus! it seems the english are not even allowed to be nostalgic without being called bigots! let people have their opinions for gods sake! if people think england was a better place back then (WHICH IT CLEARLY WAS) who are you to disagree with them?
@trippy119 Just commenting on the rascist comments here. They are entitled to their opinions, just as I am entitled to beleive they're a bunch of complete dicks.
Nice - loved the accompanying music. Funny to seeing the entrance to Parliament. Remember going on a school trip to the gallery at the Commons. Anyone could walk off the street and see democracy at work. Not anymore
@kingbleah That may be true, but speaking as someone who has lived in multiple different countries, the kindness and politeness that I experience in the UK still astonishes me. We have our problems, but they can be dealt with. In comparison to many different places, the UK has it good, and that should really be appreciated.
@TOPCAMERMAN i hate politicions they have fucked it right up you never here an english voice now and you never see a white traffic warden anymore anyone who has got the money to leave has left,most school kids in london schools don,t have english as a first language any fights between races the school allways against white cos of leftwing dogma,its not the people who came here who i hate its the traitor politicions for letting them change london without even asking us if thats what we wanted.
And it looks so English what the hell do they do to our beautifull city
