Thank you so much for posting this Gary. I have just spent an evening watching it. Wonderful, takes me back. I wouldn't mind films like this given away with the newspapers. History at it's best. Such a shame that so much of old London has disappeared.

Disappearing London is also on Utube

Finally got around to watching this. Fascinating stuff though my lot had moved into Essex by the 60's.
