I find these fascinating. For example 0:38 there are two ladies walking across the road, I would say maybe age 25. They had their whole lives ahead of them, they were probably talking about boys and planning their next night out. To them, naturally, this is all that would ever be. If You assume they are 25 and this was taken in ’75 they would have recently turned 70. Now she is drawing her pension and is rapidly approaching average life expectancy, Life is short, enjoy it NOW, its wonderful. Cherish the memories, they are gold, laugh a lot. Make peace. I am 37 but a thought I would be young forever. I am thinking that cant be bad advice for anyone right? Love to all :-D
That's nothing. There's even sharper footage from the 50s. Take a look at old twilight zone episodes from that era. People forget how sharp good film stock can be. They calculated 35mm is equivalent to 4K at max.
It’s weird to see the 39 as a double decker going all the way into central London. My earliest memory of growing up in London is during the 90s, but even seeing this clip of the early 70s, a lot of it feels quite familiar yet lost to time. The vehicles, the street layout, the fruit and veg stand, the signage, etc. I think London underwent its biggest shift post-2005.
"Ah, the good old days of London being 'British'-a notion that overlooks the rich tapestry of its history! Before what we think of as 'British' today came onto the scene, the island was home to a variety of peoples. The Celts were among the first to settle, thriving in tribal societies long before the Romans arrived in 43 AD, bringing their own culture, architecture, and infrastructure. After the Roman withdrawal in the 5th century, the Anglo-Saxons took over, establishing kingdoms that laid the groundwork for early English identity. But the plot thickens! In 1066, the Normans invaded, dramatically reshaping the social and political landscape. And let’s not forget the Viking raids, which added yet another layer to the mix! The concept of 'British' really emerged later, especially after the Acts of Union in the 18th century, combining England, Scotland, and eventually Wales and Ireland under one flag. So, in essence, when we talk about 'British' people, we're looking at a mosaic of influences: Celtic, Roman, Saxon, Norman, and beyond. London has always been a hub of diverse cultures, adapting and evolving through centuries. It’s this vibrant mix that truly defines what it means to be 'British' today! 🇬🇧✨"
This boring comment is in every video from the past decades lol. Just wait till its 2040 and we see these "People dressed better and smarter back then!" on videos from the 2010s.
nowadays people have all kinds of shit so they can make flippant ass comments on the fucking internet instead of think back and respect their hard working families for doing their best when they had nothing. useless shit on command millennial tavistock cocksuckers.
@@ajs41 I worked it out because one theatre was showing a film that came out in the USA December 1972 Across 10th Street . Films in the UK always came out a little later . Also the fashions .

Good observation. Capitalism really run riot since the Internet came onto the scene.
It would be interesting to see how much everything cost on the menu at 1:03
I can almost read it. Most things are less than £1.
Depending on when in the 1970s this was, you can multiply any prices by up to 20 to find the equivalent in 2023 money.
When London was still British.
