03:12 The Austin car registration number RA 8910 is still around today. According the UK DVLA. It was last sold in October 2023. Date of first registration June 1929. Year of manufacture 1929. I wonder if the owner knows it's seen here in this video.
typo "form royal" instead of "from royal"
@@MartensFamilyHomeMovies Oh how sweet. You finally popped your Cherry 🍒 and posted your 1st ever comment in 9 years. Classic example of a recently purchased NPC bot farm account
@@Moscow_Will_Burn You are a fool.
Wonderful collection of fascinating photographs, I love the various ‘transports of delight’ that feature in many of them… particularly the apple delivery truck! ❤
Thank you very much !
The “beggar” running after the royal carriage was not actually a beggar. He was a service man from the First World War, making a point about the broken promise of “a land fit for hero’s “ on return to England after a million soldiers had been slaughtered on the fields of France for the king and his kingdom. They were left unsupported and broken, no money, no work, while royalty and the government ignored their needs and lived in luxury. It was an utter disgrace.
Many could not, work, due to physical and mental injuries anyway; which also shortened their lives. The cost of those silk Top Hats , would probably feed a large family for months.
Thanks for that great information. Doesn't look like they gave him anything anyway. Nobody in that Royal carriage, as far as I could see, even looked at the man. The epitome of 'turning a blind eye' to the poor.
For it's Tommy this, and Tommy that . . . some things never change.

I'm a Londoner and I recognise most of the locations in these pictures. It's really quite magical to see them as they once were, 100 years ago, yet so easily recognisable. I've walked down those same roads so many times and a number of those buildings are still there. The aerial view of the Thames andTower Bridge was particularly interesting - so much development there now. This was the London of my great-grandfather and, because you've colorised them so beautifully, you've brought that London back to life, so that we might see a brief glimpse of it.
@Nemie125. My grandfather was a tramworker in the 1920's....he may have been in that queue to pick up his pay 😏.
I worked in the City and am repulsed by how it has changed now with ugly glass skyscrapers.
Beautiful photos and wonderful colourisation which really brought them to life. Thank you posting them.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it
I normally avoid these clips as they tend to be naff “school projects” but this came on in my shuffle and I’m glad it did because you didn’t use well known overly circulated photos - most of these I have never seen before and so I found it absolutely fascinating and thought provoking. Thank you for posting - I am now subscribing 👌
I enjoyed watching these nostalgic documents tremendously ! They're so endearing that one wishes one could really take a trip back in time. You did a beautiful colorization job ! Thank You !
Thank you so much, I greatly appreciate it.
Yes Absolutely Excellent Production
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it
MARVELOUS ! SUCH CLARITY & REALISTIC COLOUR.
Thank you very much!
There is so much of London that has remained the same for over a hundred years!!! Beautifully done ❤
Thanks a lot !
One Of the best quality selection I have ever seen, thank you so much for sharing it with us. Fantastic work.
Thank you very much, I sincerely appreciate it
No antibiotics and the lower classes treated with disdain by the "upper class" masters.
Excellent Production Thankyou
😀👍
Wonderful, the video, the music, your kindness and pleasure at what you do shining through, not least in your gentle voice. Well done, all of it ... greetings from a small town in Sicily, Angelika
I absolutely love your stuff. Addicted to your content.
Thank you so much.
Thank you very much, I sincerely appreciate it.
Absolutely excellent video, well done you! And watching the footage really puts Khan’s “modern” London into perspective doesn’t it?
It's footage not reality. if a time machine took you back there and forced you live in the way most people had to put up with, you'd be begging to come back to 21st century medicine, wages and conditions. Of course you'd imagine yourself as an aristocrat swanning about, not down the pits or cleaning toilets.
Does it? In what way, precisely?
This comment smacks of racism!
@@topmum100 😂😂 if in doubt, get the race card out. It’s nothing new though, the German people under the Nazis were calling out each others neighbours saying “Jew lovers!“ and “there’s a Jew in their family!“ in order to penalise them socially. And here we are, in 2024 doing exactly the same thing, I’m sure our recent forebears would be oh so very proud.
@@beresfordquimby surely, it’s obvious? The comparison between London then and London today. The correlation is extraordinary isn’t it? How the demographics have changed so radically in such a short period of time. The levels of crime et cetera have exploded exponentially
Merci pour ces magnifiques photos qui relatent la vie de l'époque. Nous sommes chanceux d'avoir ces images. Paix à toutes ces personnes.
Merci beaucoup
Thank you for the Beautiful photos they are so interesting but sad as well.
Thank you so much
I love your wonderful historic videos! I encourage you to add in music that better reflects the eras you unveil to us.
Love these old photos 👍🏻looking at the fashions of the day and everything in general ,I hope you have more to look back on 😄
This is wonderful. Great work enhancing and colouring..
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it
stunning, really loved them all, so clear, great job😊
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it.
It's very important that these visitations to the older times of London be shown to us. Thank you - from Ireland.
Superb, thank you for showing us how lovely our capital was! As per the song, "One day we will meet again!" Rule Britannia..
Wonderful. Thank you. It's strange to think that my father was born in 1921 in the east end. But not as strange as knowing that my grandmother was a Victorian, born in 1899. London and the world were very different places back then and not always better.
Thanks for sharing this amazing video ❤🎉
Thank you for your comment!
My late father was in the Grenadier Guards during the twenties and served as one of Queen Alexandra's pallbearers at her funeral.
Wow! That "motor scooter" @6:00 almost looks like a 2024 electric scooter haha
The Marxists first destroyed Russia and then used it to destroy Europe. And after the war,
they organized propaganda of Marxism at American universities.
And now we have the fact that in Russia there are Bolsheviks,
and in the West there are NEO-Bolsheviks!
Thank you for the wonderful 'Time Travelling' experience. Colour makes it so very immediate
Thank you very much, I sincerely appreciate
@@BrightStyle As a 75 yr old what I value is the gift you have left me of the world my grandfather (b 1889) and grandmother (b 1891) was like in colour. It makes it 'seem' so much more real. Makes 'Time Travel' an easy trip. Love history and old ghosts.
Wow London has always been bustling and very well put together video!
Verdadero viaje en el tiempo con esas joyas de imágenes... Gracias. 👏
Beautiful pics so evocative of a "lost" London. I was surprised how many cars were on the roads
Enjoyable as always. Thank you, very much.
Thank you very much, I greatly appreciate it.
Glorious pictures, with wonderful soundtrack. Everyone is so well dressed, even the laborers (or is it labourers?) Thanks for the memories.
Thank you very much, I sincerely appreciate it.
Yes, it's 'Labourers'
Excellent Prodection Thankyou - It was real and Fun
Thank you so much!
Wonderfully video. Thank you very much
Thank you very, I really appreciate it
Wish i had lived my life through those years instead of today. Looks amazing. Great video.
Thank you very much !
Such a dumb comment.
World War II was just some years ahead... not a nice time to be alive
Thanks for another wonderfully put-together video! The 1920s are my favorite decade in time.
That's because you were not there. Life in the 20's was terrible for the normal working people of Britain. 1 million families still morning the men lost in WW1. Broken ex soldiers and broken promises of a better tomorrow from the government , mass unemployment, sickness and diseases. Plus whole lot of violent crime because former soldiers accustomed to the brutalities of war brought it home with them. I'm old and my grandmother once told me the best thing about the German blitz was the slums of London got razed to the ground. Be thankful you live in the 21st century.
Fascinating to see London as it was when my father was just nine or ten years old. He was brought up in Islington an area not covered by these photographs, but I am sure he saw these scenes.
Nice surprise to see my great grandparents in colour. Thank you.
KIA ORA; I can almost taste the stuff from donkey’s years ago. Another great posting so keep ‘em coming.🇦🇺
Yes, and I wonder what Gilbey's 'invalid port' was like; hastily forgotten, I imagine.
Great photos! And really nice selection of laid-back music!
Thank you so much !
I liked the music as well.
Great music and voice: never heard that song so wonderful
Not changed much , has it ?
The residents seem somehow different now .
That's the great thing about time. THINGS CHANGE. London is completely different nowadays. It used to be a complete sh!thole , it's not anymore.
@@Moscow_Will_Burn
It was a shithole, then it wasn't, now it is again.... with the added benefits of looting mobs, stabbings, shootings and acid attacks.
The British were out in the countries of the Empire getting to know the people of the rest of the world.
@@Lily-Bravo Empires were a thing all over the globe, history happened, funny thing is we gave everything back and retreated to our little island, could you say the same about other empires?
@@Justin-yt8zv I am aware of the doings of other countries, and realistic about ours. In 1979 I travelled extensively to Pakistan and India and met a lot of people and was expecting negative responses about the Empire, but strangely the people we met were complimentary about those times.
Thank you, for posting it, i really enjoyed it.
Thank you so much
The music in the background is so beautiful. Amazing work. Congratulations. I subscribed to your channel, and I gave you a like. I hope that helps you a bit.
Thanks a Lot !
I love the picture of the hounds paying a visit to London. Unthinkable now in the age of social Marxism.
Really interesting thanks for sharing
Bravo 👏🏻 wonderful to see,Thank you ❤
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it.
Wow, I really enjoyed this, thank you.
Thank you very much for your comment, I really appreciate it.
wonderful footage. go on!
Thank you !
The picture at 2.34 captioned "The heart of London's West End. Daily life street scene in 1929" is actually taken next to Victoria Station as you can clearly see. The clock tower is still there.
Phew! I can now sleep contented in that knowledge.
Additionally there is an Austin LL taxi in the picture so after 1934 unless there is a Time Machine somewhere? Still a good picture and nicely tidied.
The picture of the dinosaur being pulled from the pond, curious, why would four policemen be pulling it from a pond?
These productions of this time period are excellent. ❤
Thanks
The viewing time for each photo was perfect.
Amazing colourising makes me wish I was back in those days, they had incredible fashion, handmade shoes that lasted for years. Actually I’ve always wanted to go back in time to this era. Imagine how good the food must’ve tasted, no artificial anything or additives., my mouth is watering just thinking about the wholesome goodness.
You want to go back wealthy... It was shockingly bad if you were unfortunate enough to be poor
Average life expectancy 1920. Males 56, females 59.
Little sanitation. Many families sharing a house and only outside toilet. No thanks😂😂
If you were one of the `gentry` who only walked as far as the motor car then your shoes may have lasted for years. The rest of us paid regular visits to the shoe mender for new soles and heels.
I looked at the shoes all the way through. I hate the shoes of nowadays. I still have some of my favourite shoes of the late 1970s, Wished I had kept the ones from the 60s as well.
I loved this thank you
Fabulous collection!
I love those motorised scooters they had, that little American two seater car, and the motorised pram. They seemed to have had lots of inventive vehicle manufacturers.
Notice how slim everyone is, how smart everyone is and what a shared culture everyone had!
Sky high metabolism because they all smoked like chimneys
Yeah we need that common culture back in the UK.
@@chrisstucker1813 Pre-tobacco societies must have been as fat as nowaday's Anglo-Saxon population on both sides of the Atlantic.
@@chrisstucker1813 haha, I am doubtful that it was related to smoking, especially for women. They did not have TV's and fast food 🙂
Slim... ok... but how do you know in a picture they had culture and were smart?
Amazing work...thank you.
Very nice, I left a like. At just before 5mins the Royal Mail Delivery is really a Royal Mail Collection, because the postman is emptying out a postbox, he's not actually delivering.
45 sec into this, music images, all was great. Thanks.
Fantastic work! Thank you. I got such a thrill looking at these picture, many of which were 1925, the year my Dad was born. The contrast between rich and poor was very evident.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it
Oh how far we have fallen.
Great production BTW!!!
I disagree. How far have we come! is my view. Those days appear to be wonderful in the photographs and many were from 1929. Ten years later and the world was at war. Having gone through the Great Depression of the 1930s and if you were a Jew in Germany, things were going from very bad to much worse very quickly. The same for others that the German regime of the time didn't like. Not to mention that women were still fighting for their basic rights in the early 1920s. I acknowledge that we have lost some of the good of those times, but those times were not the most glorious in human history. Far from it.
I understand and agree with you to a point but speaking in generalities we see much more "societal corruption" in a myriad of ways. People and their mindsets are much different than it was at one time through a hist of efforts and reasons. We had ww1, ww2 ,holocaust and everything in between and beyond but we have fallen and regrettably will continue on this path to our ultimate slavery and the destruction.
It's profound to think all these people are gone. They look so alive.
That was lovely to watch
Thanks
Needed to see this ❤️❤️ Very fitting song
Thanks ❤
Loved this ❤
Thanks
Have to say well done, your process has evolved quite a bit!
Wonderful, thank you.
WONDERFUL....😊
The collection of buses at 2.43 was a response by London Transport to the disruption of rail services at Victoria Station after an incident/accident. Some of the buses pictured wouldn't have been made until the mid/late '30s (the "STL" type)
They were red with silver roofs not grey or black
as shown, but lovely photographs nonetheless.
Great video thank you ! 😊
Except for East End, everything was so classy, beautiful and clean! Thanks for the lovely photos.
Without the East End of London back then , they wouldn’t have enjoyed the class they did in the West End or Central London.
Insanitary slums weren’t just confined to the East End they were everywhere. Pollution in winter in particular was appalling and malnutrition and disease carried off thousands prematurely. These pics are indeed beautiful and the privileged few lived elegantly but they were most definitely ‘the few’
@@gerardmackay8909 oh would you shut the fuck up about how it’s so much better now. You’re convincing nobody and it’s painful to watch you try and convince yourself.
RIP London
Sad to see what it turned into
Puts me in mind of "The Marathon Man" You should see England while it's still there.
The Marxists first destroyed Russia and then used it to destroy Europe. And after the war,
they organized propaganda of Marxism at American universities.
And now we have the fact that in Russia there are Bolsheviks,
and in the West there are NEO-Bolsheviks!
How does London looks like now ? 🤔

A great resource. Thanks. Some captions need work - e.g. - the postman is collecting from a pillar box and not delivering to premises.
Hey great video and thanks for using my song

Thank you for your great song !
WOW!! It's hard to believe that London was once a respectable place where you could feel safe and not accosted. That it wasn't outwardly at least, a gangland suffocating in drugs, crime, knife violence and so on
What a silly comment. It's never been "a respectable place where you could feel safe and not accosted". Then, as now, if you go to certain parts it's risky (though way less risky now that it was then), other parts less so. You're clearly not a Londoner. Have you even been there? Have you ever read any of the accounts of how it was back then, the soaring crime, the daily violence, the deprivation, the health crises? You people...
@@beresfordquimby I love how British people complain about the immigrants when the factual problem is the "House of lords/Wannabe americans club" destroying the countries economy, and pushing people to desperation.
I was a gullible Norwegian that until my early/mid 20's thought britain did alright, then i watched a recent documentary where the damn kids live with barely 3 meals a day, and it was common for kids to have untreated skin conditions as the parents had to juggle money for gas and electric.
House of lords should be abolished and all their populists thrown in jail.
It's such a shame that time travel isn't possible. I would really love to go back to these historical places and times.
Although life was hard, people seemed to have a lot more fun, and, have more time to have fun, thanks for posting these, lovely work.
Only for the rich, poverty was rife.
@@polo-kf6yh often times, those who have nothing give more value to the simple things
If only it was like that now.
With a world war just gone and another soon to come?
it still is; Abject poverty beneath the boot of the elite...
No empire anymore. Now we have a politically corrupt class and an ignorant electorate.
When Europe was still Europe. Wished I lived earlier.
Thank you for not going so fast that we dont get time to look at the photos. Xxx
How I wish I met my wife in that time.
Today's women are terrible, all tattooed and have emotional damage.
Brilliant!👍👌👏
Thank you so much !
At 15:38 there's an areal view of London which doesn't show the Thames or the Victoria Embankments on the north bank (left side of the picture). The embankments were constructed in the 1860s and 70s. There's a postcard viewable on Wiki from the 1890s showing the completed embankments. The photo used in the video was probably taken from a hot air balloon in the 19th century.
Wow. Time travel RUclips again.
Amazing.
Sad too see how much we have lost as a culture, attitude to the world and each other.
Class distinctions? Poorer women having to go into service and not having education? Poverty and children smoking?
Before we had everybody elses culture forced on us😢
@@nowhere982 Don't be daft, we conquered the world and copied what we liked of country's culture, cuisine and language. I bet you have a lot of American culture in your life now. Food, clothes. language. All of your own free will.
Post war immigration has ruined London.
@@nowhere982 And British culture and colonisation forced upon people around the world. The chickens are coming home to roost for the British.
I love the “goodbye Marie” song. Cannot find it anywhere on the internet. Does anyone know who is the singer/author.

Bullshit.
Kalergi plan. Great replacement. Have a look
Dziękuję ❤
Beautiful
Very impressive, I'm particularly interested in the enhancement process that you applied to the royal group at the beginning of the video. Surely the colours of some clothing and vehicles must be educated guesses?
These are wonderful pictures of London the only complaint I had is that the music in the beginning was like fingernails on a blackboard to me halfway through it got better thank you muchly
Yes the music is terrible, and not appropriate for the period.
Not even the dust has been left.
5:45 when you could display an English flag without being labelled racist.
Some scenes are familiar to me. I received my fire brigade training at Southwark training centre where that arch was. (Firefighter jumping from window). That was in 1991. I know the place has been levelled since then - but maybe that perimeter wall where the arch was, is still there.
