Heh, I must have gone afk as I was submitting this. You beat me to it!

Wow, just wow. Knowing London as I do, having lived and worked there for nearly 20 years, it's amazing to see this and to recognise a lot of the building facades that are still there to this day. The most interesting thing is how the skyline has changed dramatically since then.

They did not specify exactly what colour process was used on the YT page, I was curious. I managed to do a little research from a page I remember listing various processes for silent films. The credits said Friese-Greene Colour process which in turn is "Biocolor". The alternating red/green frames was obvious to me in the motion sequences as Technicolor 2-strip takes 2 images simultaneously rather than alternating.

Here is the actual process http://www.widescreenmuseum.com/oldcolor/stained.htm and the wiki page for the man behind the tech. Although I would take the "invented" part with a grain of salt from the credits as it seems he just ripped off a previous process and called it his own This film is listed as one of four made...

Really cool to see a very rare colour process used on an even rarer film. I wish there was more of this and other rare processes. Most of it likely has permanently vanished due to rotting away

What is this strange and beautiful place? The buildings are so lovely, the clothes are brilliant, the men wear hats (and probably take them off indoors), the automobiles have so much character, the policemen look friendly and helpful, the workmen whistle and tip their caps to you, and it looks like one pence could buy you a nice snack lunch.

Oh nostalgia, you've deceived me yet again.

I remember the feeling I got when I went to my very first foreign country, (Portugal, Azores Islands actually), the strangeness, the confirmed realization that there was more than what I knew, (we are very sheltered here in America). I thought that initial amazing rush was once in a lifetime until it recently hit again with a trip to Shanghai - talk about a different planet on the SAME planet no less! Blew me away. This film gives me a reminder of that emotion, it's such an unreal world that's undeniably there and real. Thanks for the sift truly.

It always blows my mind how similar everything is.

When and where did the britons go who populated these streets? We're unrecognisable.
