Tough times back them 💪 we lived in Wandsworth early 70s had no bathroom had to go my nans in shepherd's bush just down road no one had bank cards back then once you run out of money that was it and people moan now days

Unbelievable, it used to look like this

[@TrueBrit1]

Incredible to think that when I was born, my mum and virtually every other mother in that maternity ward, were smoking in the bed with us babies next to them! It was absolutely normal back then. Also, you'll find many old videos on YT showing women shopping in stores and supermarkets with a cigarette in hand! Quite bizarre in today's world, but normal back then.

Absolutely love this. Thank you for releasing short films like this that remind us of our past and just how lucky we are today.

So beautiful. And now look at what’s become of an amazing city…

[@lizclegg7556]

And what would that be exactly?

[@Macca-rb5ok]

It looks just as good now. Even more cosmopolitan and vibrant, one of the best cities in the world.
