You wouldn’t want to return to nowadays, that’s for sure. If I had a time machine and returned to the 1960s, I’d tell people about political correctness, the woke insanity, the imaginary new genders, the deviation from real marriage etc. and watch the stunned disbelief and shock in peoples’s faces as they tell me “aww don’t be ridiculous! that’ll never happen!”.

Lived in London my whole life and it's been ruined by property developers and the ugly flats and offices they keep on putting up. A rich man's playground, it's become vile and charmless. Plus no one under 100k a year can afford to buy anywhere better than a shoe box in the sticks. Too many Starbucks, Tescos, Yuppies, chains, hipters, criminals, too much focus on money. Lovely video.

@@reggiejames7812 London (especially Central) is expensive to live in because the people there are much wealthier. It's the financial capital of the world and with that comes a huge amount of high-paying jobs in the finance, law and medical industries Those people raise the prices up which means your average Joe can't live there anymore. As these jobs increase more and more of London adapts to suit their wants and needs. All the world's top cities are expensive. For London to be affordable to the average Joe again, all the high-paying jobs and sectors would need to move elsewhere. If that happened London would cease to be the world capital it currently is and would just become another near-irrelevant city on the world stage.

I couldn't believe it, it's all construction like their trying to erase the old London. I saw weird glass offices built smack bang in the middle of main roads and the roads themselves make absolutely no sense at all! ..there's nothing left. London doesn't look like London if that makes sense? Driving through the city is the strangest thing, I felt uninvited, like I needed permission to be there. Fuck London, it's gone. I was glad to get home.

I rarely go down to the city these days, it is depressing. However, the part I still like -- unlike all the moaning Minnies who descend on videos like this -- is the lively cosmopolitan activity, people from all over the world, who do bring a bit of colour and life into the streets.

The thing that stood out for me were the women's fashions. Everything was so much more colourful back then. You won't find many teenagers, yet alone middle aged women wearing bright yellow, red or purple dresses these days. It's all become far more drab and conservative.

ships are older of course & opening shots may have been in 50's but not necessarily. The trains, cars & films showing date the vast bulk to 60s & 70s

@@robm8809 Thanks Rob, yes, the Vitesse really hits the spot for me. It's a Mk2 Vitesse so as standard the Mk2s came with the TR5 cylinder head fitted for,a little more bhp compared with the Mk1s. During my resto of it, I changed the gearbox to an overdrive one ....overdrive really does double the fun of driving it on a motorway. I'm soon planning to do a London tour in it with a friend ...(maybe we might go through tower bridge, we did back in June in my friends Mini.) I think going in the Vitesse is almost re-living this video especially as it's a 1969 car.

I remember it like that very well, use to love walking around Soho as a kid with the sex shops and strip joints with nude pics outside lol. London was a filthy place I remember and everything was dark. I remember they cleaned the Houses of Parliament snd it’s the colour now from dirty grey/black. I grew up in Bermondsey in the 60’s and what a shithole that was, it was dire! Look at it now, flippin’ heck you wouldn’t recognise it now! We’d go thieving in Borough Market and nab whatever for a laugh. I hardly recognise London now as I live in France which is also a shithole now!
