I’m 50 years old now and I was born in 1971. But I remember fondly taking the number 6 route master bus from Hackney road with my Mum and Dad and going Christmas shopping. Looking forward to seeing the Christmas lights in Oxford Street and Regents street as well. But I remember my Mum, when I was a kid, sitting in a pub, drinking a glass of Coca Cola with a bag of crisps, and my mum would have a Bacardi and bitter lemon in one hand, while holding a low tar silk cut cigarette in her other hand, singing to me endearingly in a cockney accent; It's a Long Way to Tipperary... No matter how old you are, you never forget those memories.
Me 66, born in 1956, retired now and a long way from the town, would never go back, as the High Street has had its day, gradually got worst since the 1970’s with its nightclubs, violence, no thank you, very few places unspoiled in the town.
Both so young, I am 74 north London born and bred Brit.And I blinkin thank God that we don't have now as many smokers with thier damned cancer sticks like we used to.I certainly don't miss all that what we had to suffer from.
I was born and raised just 2 miles from there, on the South East side, in 1954 and had 29 wonderful years there before "the change". NOW? Thanks to my free pass, I travel in Inner London on the bus, sometimes and North, East, South or West, it is the same picture during the week away from Central London and The City Of London work and entertainment areas i.e. around 5% White British on those buses.

0:09 "A place most Londoners go to at least once a week." Hmm, the scriptwriter knew very little about the real lives of Londoners, either back then or now.
Look how slim and nice everyone looks with their newspapers and hats. And how wonderful the ‘dilly looked then. Why did the rotters remove every bit of charm from the capital?
You clearly know nothing about the world back then. Piccadilly was a notorious, sleazy hole. Drugs, prostitution and dirty old men picking up underage age kids. There's a reason it got the nickname "the meat rack"
I completely agree with you sir its a absolute disaster the way our beautiful London as become the only beautiful things we have now are the Royal parks Let's pray for better times If only that is possible 😢
I'm not a Londoner but was proud of it as England's capital. Not proud now though I'm afraid. How I loved the 1960s when there was a song called "Engerland swings" (meaning it was exciting and interesting). I was lucky enugh to be 19 yrs old in 1960 and that decade was so great for young people. Very happy times. I could write a book! London along with my own Midland city has changed SO much - but I will leave it there.
@@zeddeka I'm sure most indigenous people care what happens to the capital city of their ancestral homeland, people like you will never understand this.
I'm psychic - and there are SO many people in this footage who have passed on... They are just hanging around, and somehow they are able to see themselves when this was filmed. They aren't speaking - just watching each other as they walk along. Staring.
I worked in Burlington Gardens then and heard the Beatles play on the rooftop. Wonderful time, London at its best. Wouldn't go there now, horrible place.
I was at secondary school in 1967. I did not know then but I now realise that PC was awfully close to the infamous red light district of London. Not really suitable for a child so my parents (they were quite strict) never took me there. Ah! :)
Μy parents visited London for their honeymoon in 1967 and every evening, after returning to their hotel, they had to clean their faces with a demake-up cotton, to remove te thik black dust - air was still very polluted by coal!

Yesterday, Liverpool St Station was mobbed by supporters of Hamas, and effectively closed down. Rail users could not get home. Still, we all voted to give our country away, I suppose, didn't we? So how can anyone reasonably complain?
You mean people who recognise a take-over when they see it. And suffering the madness of neo - liberalists who have watched and assisted in the erosion of the BRITISH way of life. I'll say it again for the multicultural ijits. The BRITISH way of life. Not perfect, but there was a time when we could fight our corner.

It is Very Informative to watch these Video's about London
A vanished world, we have lost so much.
We have lost everything
Nothing was lost, it was tossed away by boomers
It's still there I believe. Last time I looked anyway.
You would struggle to find any English people left now!!

It was not as clean as you seem to think.We are a big pulsating city.Sorry but that is the case.

What do u notice most about the people in this film?
Hmmm now let me think err
No one looking at their phones????
Stay pressed lol
They're all pink?

adding to my comment with apologies for wrong spelling of the word "enough"
I can swear that at 1.48 that's a time traveller, she seems straight out of the 21st century !
It's Twiggy. (or an impersonation of).
3 mins and 6 secs no obesity, sweat pants, tattoos, stabbings or aliens. Look what we have lost never to return.
Or mobiles,traffic restrictions,Routemasters,proper London Cabs and nearly all Cars made in Britain by British Companies.
A time when London was safe and civilised and everyone spoke a common language called English.
English is still the common language , although there are now many other languages spoken alongside it.
Shared culture, values and language. Far more of a strength than 'diversity'...
@@NFawc The world has moved on. Globalisation happened.
very wong
Think that Brentwood might turn into Romford and become a Ghetto town.
NO MUSLIM OR BLACK MARCHES 😮 JUST TRUE PEOPLE OF THE COUNTRY ENJOYING THE DAY ❤
I was 3yrs old at that time, and england were world champions ( football) at that time , the country probably was in great spirits
.......amazing!!!!!
When London was still English
Wdym it still is
Not everyone in London speaks English but that’s because people from all over the world like moving to the big cities for certain purposes
Get over it. The western world is multicultural now
@@Blindswordsman1994not for long
I knew there'd be weirdos in the comments
No mobiles or congestion charge?
What sort of London is this?
A safer one
No ULEZ or thugs with knives either
If you hate mobile then put yours down
@@Martin9476knife crime was actually significantly higher back then. It reached a peak in the 60s
London was a different city then ❤
How cooler does it look 😮
It was a sleazy, dangerous dump back then. Look up the "playland" scandal
Wow London has become much more multicultural today than back then, what a shame.

This looks like it's on colour video rather film. If so a bit unusual for 1967, or maybe film transferred to video.
Look at life film
1:41 I’m sure I copped-off with her in Camden in 1997.
They didn't know how fortunate they were
1:58. "minute by minute schedule". Q. Where did you learn to say, "shedule"? A. At shool.

Or indeed less than 1% of immigrants of any kind outside of the settled British, Irish and Jewish Communities.
