Ya, I saw this a few days ago on wimp.com. I wondered if any of our Brits would recognize the place. Very neat.

The landmarks and known buildings like Big ben,Houses of Parliament etc etc are still the same (i think) but the skyline is a whole lot different to what it was back then

Was Mr Selfridge there? The music was quite good for 1927.

That was awesome. I've been to London many times and it is great to see how it looked back in the day. I also liked seeing the London Bridge. That actual bridge now resides in Lake Havasu, Arizona. Which happens to be where I grew up. I have been over and under that bridge many times. 

 

Did anyone else notice how the camera was so stable? It was like they had it on a gyroscope like they do now.

 

Thanks for sharing that video. Very cool!
