Long long ago, in a land not very far away

This beautiful and unique colour film of London is from 1927 and portrays a pre-war image of an almost sleepy capital. The lack of private motor cars takes some getting used to, especially along Whitehall. My grandfather was a signalman at London Bridge at this time, it's amazing to see what the city was like when he went to work.
