I was born in 1947 in east end of london. Worked in the city from the age of 15yrs of age .Thank you great to see old times .Loved the rag and born man.
Oh look! People with smiles on their faces.
Now they have masks on their faces 😢
It's very sad look how clean our streets were..more space..people were proper people.we had a lovely country but nearly every where I go its pretty depressing..but it not just our country..iv been looking at a lot of America some places you can't go mustn't go its that bad..Rome..pairs..loads of places the government have given up..and it's only getting worse I am very sad to see this beautiful country going quickly..I was very proud of our country not anymore..the government has run it in to the ground. I can say if I could go back and life was a lot harder than..I still would do it all again..just to get our beautiful country how it was ..its very strange but I don't remember people complaining about much because we didn't have much plan and simple...thank you for this great video 👍..took me back to a beautiful place..
these old work vans are a joy to watch
My hometown in the year I was born, 1963 thanks for uploading
It looked such a calm settled world.
yeah it looked that way didn't it..it wasn't though!
Just lovely
For me, it was absolute heaven walking those streets as a 10 y.o. It was a different planet in every respect. I only wish I could somehow 'morph' into this film..an casually walk back home !
Yes, growing up as a kid of 13 in 1963, life was very different back then. Children could actually play in the street! Unfortunately, it was just a passing moment in our lives, a simpler time when people knew where they came from and knew their lot. You never know what you have lost, until it is gone! We lost the simpler times to the march of progress and people's greed for change! The phrase goes, if it aint broke don't fix it! Well things have changed over time, but boy do they need fixing now! Life has become just one tedious rip-off, with everyone after your money! Greed is the new god of the 2022, and just like you, watching old films of a by-gone era, when we knew our place in life, and were content then to let things happen naturally. It's very sad watching those old times, because we were there, we had experienced it, we had lived and we had tasted a simple time, that we now wish we could go back too!
@@drgeoffangel5422 Well said Sir ! Respect.
Yes, I was 10 myself in 1963.
Oh how I share your sentiment, we are the same age, and life seemed so much nicer then, brought up in a 3 roomed council flat for 5 of us !! when you feel like that play Dusty Springfield's " Going Back " makes me cry, stay safe buddy.
@@mikecannon9511 Hey Mike. I actually still have that single ! Can't beat it. All the best.
This is the London that I loved. What wonderfull years the sixties
I want the country of my childhood back!
When we were the best in the world
London has been constantly changing for almost 2000 years , it will always continue to do so . But that's ok , we can be nostalgic but it's for our own lost youth rather than a lost idyllic time .
So do I!
Want London how it used to be.
LONDON WAS BAD, filthy, pollution,and noise, 60 yrs ago, its better now believe me.
I really must stop watching these films. The nostalgic memories bring me so much happiness seeing my old London. Then the film ends and I am back in 2022. Total gloom.
Made me laugh when I saw the pile of sand left by workman doing paving repairs. You couldn't get away with that these days with health and safety.
Love that little electric Harrods van as well.
Thank you for bringing back so many memories of my childhood in London.
And A Bag of Sand is a Grand!
Fascinating film!! Spotted an Austin 7 Chummy, a Berkeley B95, Citroën DS19 and an RL Bedford, among others. 👍
Very very nice to see ✅
Thank you! Cheers!
I’d rather be back in that time than now in London!
I'd go back in time anywhere not just in london things was much better years ago
Hindsight and nostalgia are twins who wear rose tinted glasses. London in the 60s was rotten with gang crime and warfare had a corrupt police force starting from the top and was smog filled in the winter months, but a wonderful place to visit none the less.
Ah yes, those good old days. The joy of having to make telephone calls by finding a phone box, and having enough of the correct coins for when the other person answered and the pips went. When you bought something you'd seen advertised in the paper by sending off for it by post (usually paying by postal order obtained first from the post office), and then waiting for what seemed like an eternity for it to arrive. Having to avoid the dog excrement that was regularly found on the pavements. Trying to navigate your way home during a smog or 'pea souper' as it was rightly called (and yes it really was a greeny yellow colour and had an awful smell, which anyone who was in one will remember to this day).
@@barbarabreadman2373 blimey Barbara any young person reads your comment they'll wonder what hell your on about 😂😂
Nostalgia is not what it used to be.
A very beautiful place to be at this time. Cosmopolitan, cultural, stylish, safe and secure with hardly a hint of the insecurities that you have now. It's gone and will not return to anything like you see here in the video. But it's good to eulogise and remember. It's good for the soul.
I think you need to remove those rose-tinted spectacles. Thousands upon thousands lived in the most squalid housing conditions including post-war London. People still caught polio at that time for instance. It was the London of the Kray twins and organised crime. Nostalgia is a very dangerous thing.
Come on, there's a massive difference between then and now. Yes, I agree the living conditions of the time were not as good - but the morality was ten times better. You did not have the volume of stabbings like you have now. A total disregard of life - this was not in evidence. You cite the Kray's - Pussycats to what is in place now. 'Multicultural gang garbage' for want of a better word - no go areas! Nostalgia might be dangerous - blindness definitely is!
I remember the late 60's and there after of course, most cars, buses and trucks were british. They were so distinctive. Like here the very common Ford Zephyr/Zodiac/Consul, Morris Minor, Scammell Scarab, Ford 110E, Ford 400E, RT buses Renault Dauphine, Citroen DS 19 seen too. Dad used to take the tube all the time at Camden Town with the 'You Are Here' map at the entrance, 1938 stock tube trains. Dad had a Triumph Tiger Cub bought for £8. My favourite were the Routemasters. People were so respectful and polite. Still are in many ways. Nice film.
Fabulous footage great music. Thank you so much!
The year I was born. The best of times. What we have today isn't worth seeing.
What I notice from these older films of London is how busy London was. So many people walking on the streets, I thought there would have been less.
Such a sad music but heart-warming video!
Beautiful! All those British-built vehicles! No wonder our economy could afford to fund healthcare and pensions in those days.
Nowadays mobile phone addiction is at it's peak and people keep fixing their eyes on Mobile screen while walking.....no interaction with nature , weather , people .....no conversation between strangers during journey..... Although i was born in 1990s and Mobile came in 2006 in India.....i miss earlier time , i always imagine about life without WhatsApp , Instagram , Facebook and all this false nonsense.....
Well said young man.
Good post.It kills off conversation.
Yes it's hardly worth attempting to speak to modern young people sometimes . One bad thing I do not miss about this time was wherever you went you seem to be sat in choking clouds of tobacco smoke.
People were much happier then. No internet. No social media. No video games. Life was more simple. I miss the simple days.
Look at all those now classic motors,
If we only New.
But if you knew would you or anyone else have the sterile storage facilities to keep them for half a century.
@@cloudusterable Why would you need sterile storage facilities? We've got a few classics, they're just kept in ordinary garages, used regularly and they're all fine.👍
England was England. Great memories an air of innocence Miss those days
Happy Times.
Good movie!
Good music!
Good England!
This happy breed of men. This little world This precious stone set in the Silver Sea which serves official walls or as a moat as a defense to a house. Agaisnt the envy of less happier lands.🇬🇧
@@elizabethmorris3599 There are no happy or not happy lands - there are hard-working and smart, or lazy and stupid people! "There is no bad weather - there are bad clothes." Recently I had a collision on Ebay - the order was sent to me incorrectly (went in the big direction), but I said I will send you an additional payment as soon as my card limit expires - and the woman seller willingly agreed. I could remain silent but I do not like to use other people's mistakes. And this is what I wrote to my friend Fiona (fragment) "Why is England such a good country? Why are Shakespeare, Swift, Beats
and Pink Floyd here - because there are smart women here !!! She
understood everything and agreed to wait! And you, too, once did it
!!! Yes - this is not Russia, or it would be the screeching of an
angry pig or the barking of an angry dog. This is a different culture
and a different upbringing. "Yes! the world is ruled by law and chance or (God and the devil play dice). People can either change it or cry.
... thanks for sharing!
This was the year I left London, when I was 10 years old. It was a different world, more respect and relaxed. I eventually left England.
I don't blame you but, tell me, is the grass greener.... ?
Great memories. I used to own a Citroen ID19 like the one at 0:55. Loved that car.
Ah ,those days when people knew which way was up.
When we knew who was amongst us.
Knew everyone, did you? Are you god by any chance?
Ahh. I get a longing pit in my stomach.
What a shame,London will never be for Londoners again . A foreign land . Thanks politicians .
People who live in London are Londoners regardless of anything. That's the definition of it. I moved from Birmingham to London and I consider myself a Londoner, not a Brummie anymore!
What a fantastic Video I just wish i could time travel and go back just to see what it was like I think the UK has changed so much for the worsed Is it me looking back through rose glasses or was it better I think it was better much less stress and hate i see in 2022
london before it was enriched.
Was there in 1963 and everything seemed black and white as well. Nice.
I was only one year old. Beautiful video.
Lovely video showing many parts of London I recall (and are still sort of familiar now). Not sure I would want to be back then though, well, perhaps for a day or so (with a few old pound notes)
What a refreshing `scene` to see only `native` english in England......!!! Beautifull!!!! Saying it as a foreiginer, who once lived there. England is for an english people!!!!! Respect from Hungary!!!
If England is for the English, what the hell were u doing living there???
@@_B.M_ shut up.
When London was mostly English British 🇬🇧💙
I know. It was rubbish. But it has improved a lot.
Must have been really boring!
@✝️ CHRISTIAN SOLDIER not the last time I checked. Google maps and all the road signs still say London. You're talking crap like all the other bigots
@@_B.M_ It really wasn't.
@@_B.M_ I hope you aren't a foreigner living here with us bigots.
Would be nice to be transported back. If it was one way, htough it would be frustrating waiting 30 years to get internet access. Going back to my childhood, the only thing of today that would be classified as science fiction is digital connectivity. Items such as air travel and space flight were already advanced.
Enjoyed watching this !!
Fascinating
The Ford Thames Trader vans; we had one in 63 with Moston Fruit Stores written on the side, lovely to ride in with a heater and the first vehicle I drove as a child on a farm track, it fell apart on 67 due to rust caused by carrying wet fish in wooden boxes. My dad had a scrap yard by the so he cut it up for scrap haha. Wonderful days never to return, now we live in a tyranny.

people had a great sense of community before .
So many White people. What an incredible time it must have been.
White people are no more incredible than anyone else.
This is 1961. The bus at 1:35 has a LH posters for a Sunday Express serialisation of a boxer's memoir ('Fame In Them Fists') which can be dated to the same time as they ran a story on Rudolf Hess in July 1961. At 4:00 bus at left has a poster (RH side) for 'World In Want' which is a distinctive emaciated arm thrusting up into the air (also seen with posters in background at 2:25) which can also be dated to July 1961. At 0:30 is a poster for 1961 The Dublin Horse Show (Aug 8th-12th 1961) and if you Google it you will see that the 5 horses are standing on a World Globe and part of it is visible through the Police van's left-front door before it moved forward. Also the Guinness 1961 'The ideal Summer Resort' poster (a Seal, a Kangaroo, a Toucan and a Pelican)can be seen at far right just after 2:47 as the car pulls away
Pre European Union, our country, our way of life, our fish, etc, etc.
Pre- yet another sell-out by political stooges.
Grumpy Pig you have chosen the perfect user name. That said, a good alternative would be Miserable Old Git.
...our winter of discontent, our Sick Man of Europe, etc., etc.
@@rogerlephoque3704 that was the seventies
We did extremely well inside the European Union, shame the extremist populists took us out.
I think this may have been before 1962 - they were still shipping out mark 2 consul / zephyrs. And being a massive nerd I noticed the lambrettas had early small rear lights.
I do remember that 1962 was the last year that Ford produced Mk2 Consuls .Reason I know this was because my Father had a Consul 375 and when he acquired it in 62 it was one of the last ones to be built.
Also if I remember correctly the new vehicle number plates were introduced in 1963. I didn’t see any ‘A’ plates on vehicles, so could be 62 or earlier. Nerd city
@@johnlong8082 Yes I can confirm , I had a B reg. Mini 1964. Floor starter solenoid button -wire door handles and sliding windows. It was a bargain , very low mileage . My first car.
@@garypautard1069
I remember them well. Happy days.
@@johnlong8082 before august '63?
All the anglia cars, good ones.
Loved seeing the drop off point for The Victoria train station
I thought it was Charing cross station 🤔
My family arrived in London fleeing poverty and facism in Italy, found a home in the Clerkenwell Italian commune and this was the post-war London they lived in. It is so sad that generations later I, their descendent, am going to Italy to flee poverty and facism in Britain.
sharp reply , but very true
@@mickrussell74 London is what you make it...
Yes leftwing facism is destroying this country.
It's more of a fascist lite doctrine. Lots of populist propaganda and big lies, but no black shorts just yet. The Tories are finished though, so the country will hopefully find balance again.
I was 6 years old at the time
4.33 Swiss Cottage - Regency Lodge - College Crescent, National Provincial Bank on the corner, Sangster's the Chemist - Wyman's Newsagents - Hobbs the ironmongers.
Earlier too, see Rolls Royce headed down Avenue Road.
Fascinating footage of the city I was born and grew up in.
On a slight tangent, I'd be interested to know who is playing the first movement of Beethoven's "Moonlight" Sonata here.
They knew if they were male or female then.
i was just a few months old then.
Nice footage! Such a pity that you crop all your films, thus loosing vital parts at the top and the bottom. So sad!
Pre Klaus Schwab.
Great compilation... so evocative! I recognise the wonderfully modernist Blue Star garage but can't exactly place it, was it in Chalk Farm almost opposite the Roundhouse?
I recognised quite a few shots of nearby Swiss Cottage. I certainly never remember when you could turn right out of Avenue Road into Adelaide Road!
That Blue Star is on Wellington Road, towards the very beginning of Finchley road.. It was our local! There is a BP there now
No puffa jackets, no mopeds, no knives, no teenagers shooting at each other, no gaudy supercars with Arab numberplates roaring up and down. And you could buy a house for less than today's 20 pack of cigarettes.
Whole different world.
Chicago is going down the same path that London is going I don't know what is going happen to the USA in ten years
If only they realised how much some of those vehicle number plates would be worth in the future!
Dam right there
0.31, Tontine Street, Folkestone, I think. Junction with Grace Hill, Salvation Army Band? And at 4.03.
To think all these busy little people going about their busy little lives are all dead now. As most of us busy little people will be in 70 years.
Well placed ambulance and then the hearse near the end of film.
Be a lot sooner than that when the covid jabs kick in.
I was 32 then and I am still here - for the moment.
@@vincekerrigan8300 Hi Vince I am very happy to be wrong and long may you continue to collect your pension from the government (which annoys the hell of em)
There are some young kids in this clip, likely closer to their late 60s by this point (if still alive).
born 1963
Left school in ‘63.
For the classic car petrol heads out there. Look at 0:19. It's an ultra-rare Brtish micro sports car, a Buckler.
Er...that should be a Berkeley micro sports car, not "Buckler" [sic] at 0:19 . Silly me.
Berkeley B60 Sports.
Why is the music so sad?
The start of traffic jams - great british vehicles though
Rolls-Royce numberplate at the beginning is now on a mini
This is 1963- from the era of "swinging London" and the Beatles. Not Victorian London.
Amazing film but, where are the trolley-buses that I remember ?
They disappeared in May '62
Not diverse then, the BBC tell us it was!
Tax is up on that Ford popular I noticed
Still in the post I expect.
Ha cracking it's on its way
Just mostly saw debt slaves to oil companies. Poor deceived people.
But ignorance was bliss...!
I was eleven .
what is the music ??? x
Beethoven moonlight sonata
He was going to film other sites around London but the police were quickly to the scene ,,,what you filming for don't you know about hostile reconasense , delete that footage,name 🥴
Where are all those with bones through their nose on mopeds waving machetes
They came later! 😂😂
Great film.-whats the Special at 0.34?
Based on an MG I would guess
i saw a three wheel car from Mr Bean🤣
No, the Bean 3-wheeler was a Reliant Robin, the 3-wheeler in the video was a Bond Minicar.
