Incredible colour footage of London shot in the 1920s by early British pioneer of film Claude Frisse-Greene :

Fascinating! Thanks for sharing.
And apparently, Dunlop was the Bud Light of that time and place... plastered on every bus!

Funnily enough I was in London today and walked past the Tower of London and actually walked across Tower Bridge (both featured near the beginning of the footage). With this nearly 100 year old recording still fresh in my mind it was quite weird.

I love local history and isn't great to be immersed in it.

Although the video has been deleted but i have seen the pics of 1920 London and have read a lot about this. London looks quite cute and innocent at that time. It does not means that London has loosed its beauty but the old London looks quite innocent and pure.
