LONDON 1927

This is absolutely amazing. It's a compilation of colour film showing London in 1927, between the two great wars.

Thank you, Mary, for sending me this film clip.

  2. Tony, You are welcome. It's a real gem. I couldn't help but think that in a dozen years, so much of this would be bombed by the Luftwaffe, making this film all the more important.

  3. I forgot to write, did you see the horse and wagon going over London Bridge w/all the car and bus traffic going around it? This was in 1927!

  4. Tony, I have seen parts of this film before, but not in color. This truly brings the past back. Thank you and Mary for sharing.

  5. Thank you for this marvelous clip. It is remarkable that it survived WWII, lucky for those of us who love London and love history.
