Fabulous video, Linda - thank you. It brought back so many memories. Particularly of Kings Road. Me and my mates used to walk along there in the evenings then, like you, we would just walk across Albert or Battersea Bridge home. We too would go to the Bird's Nest sometimes!

Wow just found this, so many memories i did'nt know I had, born in 1954 home was St Johns Hill, went to Plough Road infants and even sat on Arding and Hobbs santa's knee, special treats to Battersea park, tonsils out at Bollingbrook (lashings of ice cream). I believe my parents married at St Peters, saturday morning pictures at the Granada (Yeah Zorro) went on to junior school in Tooting and the Elliott on Putney Heath. Worked in my Grandads shop on Fulham Broadway till i joined the Royal Navy in 71 then never returned to London to live. Now in Weymouth. Very lovely video.

Linda I watched a programme that was filmed inside the town hall where you and I would of gone dancing you should see how they've destroyed it all the walls have had all the plaster knocked off so it looks like a building site it's heartbreaking when I think of what a beautiful building it was memories of Thursday night's dancing and all the junction boys just standing around boys didn't dance in those days only to the slow ones I

I lived in Battersea from 1964 to 1979. In 1970 we moved onto the Doddington estate, and my first job was at Davies, Turner in 1971 as a messenger/office boy. I used to go in to see the girls in the telephone room quite often so it's quite possible we would have known each other. I had a crush on one girl, Maureen, but as very shy 15 year old I never did anything about it. I also used to drink in the Eagle in Chatham Rd and was on nodding terms with Georgie Coco and the others. Great videos of Battersea.
