This was beautiful, everything and everyone looked so clean and respectable. I also thought why does everyone look so tall ? Then I realised “ no mobiles “ with heads down and hunching down.
The year I was born. Well dressed and dignified people, a lack of obesity and loutish anti-social behaviour too ... and oh yes, The Jensen Interceptor definitely puts the cherry on the cake!! 👍
Sent to London to finish my apprenticeship that year in the Rubens Hotel. Could walk in all districts, from Lambeth, Brixton, Putney, and everywhere else, with no fear of being stabbed or mugged.
Wow! I moved to London in April '68. Worked at Bourne & Hollingsworth; lived at their Warwickshire House. Amazing times, wonderful city. This is the London of my youth :) Thank you for posting!
I was working in St.pauls in 68, loved it. Used to go to the west end on payday to buy an outfit for the weekend. It was so safe in those days and everyone was friendlier.
London was a wonderful city before the invasion.
The London I remember from my childhood and teenage years. Clean, safe and beautiful.
Is it just me or did everything seem much cleaner and people much smarter-looking back then? Wow!
A clean dignified London.

For everyone who doesn't know This is the country that used to be called England
When London was full of londoners
Notice the lack of litter ? We were taught in bin it or take it home . Oh and gobbing on the street was practically unheard of !

Simply a glorious year in London.
The London that I miss.
Great to have a picture of daily life as shown here in the swinging London of the sixties! Enjoyed looking at it here in the USA.
This is the year I was born. This world is unrecognizable. Wow.
I Love the Old London 😍
A look back to a world sadly lost forever.
