The Open Road London (1927)
Loading...
Uploaded by LondonsScreenArchive on Aug 3, 2009
London is the last stop in an epic trip across Britain filmed in remarkable early colour.
London was the final stop in a marathon journey around Britain filmed as a series of cinema travelogues. Pioneering filmmaker Claude Friese-Greene brought these picture-postcard scenes to life with a specially-devised colour film process.

It amazes me to think that practically EVERYONE in this film is dead! Each and every single person in this video, young or old.. is at least 84 years old now! It's like they are alive forever in some way!

@jul24ian Even in Petticoat Lane, the men were wearing ties. What strikes me is actually how filthy the buildings were, as a result of coal fires in every house, office and comercial building. Nelson's Column was jet black. Thank God for the Clean Air Act !
