Using some rare moving film images from as long ago as 1890, this 11-minute film contrasts the history of the city with images filmed in 2016 at the same spots.

Very enjoyable Pete. Amazing how much remains despite the Blitz and modern expansion. I watch the people going about their day and I think not much has changed in the human condition. I do admire the lady riding a bike in her long skirt!

It is true that London hasn’t changed that much, despite the war, and ‘progress’. All of it is still familiar to me from my youth.
Best wishes, Pete.
