katyjay 5,091 Posted December 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Looks like traffic jams in London even in the old days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Pianoman 1,535 Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Very good. Just HAD to watch it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,473 Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 A nice find. One part of it made me feel almost as old as the film. On one of my earliest visits to London in the early 60s, we went to see Downing Street and it was still just an ordinary street which anyone could walk down - just like you could in the film. None of the barriers and gates which are there now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob.L 1,090 Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Actually, the traffic seems to have moved faster in those days than it does now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 #6 My sister was in the Hospital on Grays Inn Road in London in the early 70s; and she was allowed out between sessions of Radium. On one of my day visits, we also could just walk on Downing Street. No big gates then. We also ended up in the courtyard behind Clarence House. There was a sentry on duty but we just walked past him. He didn't bat an eyelid. At one stage we were in a porch, the entrance door was open and we could have just walked in. We got cold feet, in case we were sent to the Tower for trespassing! While she was still in the hospital; the bombings started around London and security tightened up. I really enjoyed the video Katyjay Thank you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
