1930's London / 54 Real Magnificent Photos Colorized

London was black with soot in the 30’s, if you could see it at all for the smog. My grandfather said it was so thick that “you could slice it and sell it for a piece of cheese”. But this was a great metropolis built up over the centuries since the Great Fire of 1666 in grand and tasteful classicism, organically grown from many diverse sections which converged in to a massive whole; this had been the biggest city in the world at a certain point.

This was the real London. Today it's no longer London, just an unholy mess. It's so sad.

[@wendylinton453]

London needs cleaning up ..get rid of the stuff that's spoiling the capital..

This is just an observation: it’s impossible to miss the wealthy fashions, hats etc. The working class poverty too.. Kids with bare feet in many of these videos. Yet see what is missing - not a Hijab in sight! How the UK has changed!

At 1.00 - the 3 women going or a swim "with their gas masks".(1934). Surely the "gas masks' puts the event during the year before the War began, 1938, or possibly 1939 ?

I was told recently after watching lots of these old style clips that many of them are AI generated. I really hope that’s not true because I was Enjoying watching these.

Radio bag not gas mask.

[@garydoc]

The three women going for a swim in 1934 , carrying gas masks? That was five years before WW2!

[@RhetoricalMuse]

Farts were pungent back then

[@wendylinton453]

Funny that India now has the bggest Navy and have a rocket or whatever its called going round the sun...Obviously very wealthy country..

[@shroudwoman]

Sounds like today in the USA!

That poor, abused Elephant! We are a terrible species toward our animals!

[@richardhumphreys8662]

0:56 Because they are carrying gas masks, this is probably the Summer of 1939, not 1934.

[@michelles2299]

Gas masks in 1934 I think not

[@bbcisrubbish]

The women swimming 1934, are those gas mask boxes the are carrying? Also gas masks on the path.

While our ancestors in the indian colony languished in famine, riots, and deathly poverty, the English ruled over us lavish luxury and scandalous society.

Take a look at those pics of the East End. There was tragic poverty in London, as well as in the farming community where there was no opportunity to earn a living during winter months and it was common to share an egg. My mother b1910 was raised in the countryside, her father bedridden from industrial accident, she left home age 14 years to work 'in service', known today as slavery, for officers of the British army. The majority of the population were doing their best to stay alive.

[@wendylinton453]

​@@jennywren8937The British worked for what they had.. Not moan about what they didn't have...

[@vernetify]

Why have an American voice speaking who does not know how to pronounce English words ? The East End a world of cobbled streets ? I think not….
