1967 London in 60FPS HD / Oxford Street in the 1960s (Kinolibrary)

[@AndrewBuckleBookReviews]

Great clip, remember Oxford Street like that, great shots of many of the stores now totally gone such as Woolworths, DH Evans (House of Frasers though), etc. Always surprising to see that raised section at Oxford Circus, can't recall when it was changed but I remember it like that. Wonderful to see all the fashions of the time with the bright purples, yellows etc

[@ebismusic8813]

Looks like the change was happening right here

[@SwingBandHeaven]

A blast from the past indeed with c & a, little woods, wimpy bar etc.

[@AndrewBuckleBookReviews]

@@SwingBandHeaven Yes, loved Littlewoods, C&A etc

[@trevordance5181]

The raised section of road at Oxford Circus was to do with the construction of the new Victoria underground line beneath and the remodeling of Oxford Circus station.

[@gabriellaj.o.6180]

Dh Evans went in 2001 as house of fraser then went altogether. I remember when it had a posh refurb in 1986.

[@tgpok4r]

fantastic video, shows when the streets were relatively safe calm and clean, this just on the eve of us being enriched how things have changed,

[@WetBandit-qo9xd]

Some of my fondest and most vivid memories are of getting on the number 7 bus in Oxford Street around Christmas time. Rushing to the front of an old Routemaster to look out the window in the pouring rain and the conductor printing out your ticket with that purple coloured ink and seeing if it was a lucky ticket (all the numbers adding up to 21!!)

[@gabriellaj.o.6180]

I too loved the number 7 which went from Paddington to Holborn.

@@jeshkam it is difficult to determine the proportion. For example, in India there was such a bastard custom as the burning of a daughter-in-law by her mother-in-law when her husband died. The British, using fire and sword, shot 20,000 mothers-in-law, and reduced this custom to a minimum. But when the British left, the custom revived. In the colonies in Africa and Oceania, the British and French put an end to cannibalism

[@iboyd2824]

One thing that strikes me about this wonderful video clip and others from a similar era, is how litter free the streets appear to be compared to now. What the hell happened?? London's streets (and pretty much every other busy town) are a complete mess these days.

[@longjonwhite]

People didn’t walk around shoving burger and chips into their faces, so didn’t have scads of bloody polystyrene and paper to dispose of. Then there was the “Keep Britain Tidy” campaign, when did that end? Haha!

Beardmore Taxi KLF829D at 01:13 is still on DVLA database, last sold in 2013 although untaxed since 1984. Unusual 3-wheeled car at 02:26 is a Tippen Delta Invalid Carriage. Fiat 850 Saloon at 02:30, Volvo Amazon and NSU Prinz (which both drive by at 02:42-02:44), VW 1500TL Fastback at 02:51 and another Fiat 850, this time a coupe at 02:57 are the only non-British cars I can spot for sure!

[@rskb1957]

What I notice most is the variety of shops. Now, Oxford street is home only to a few names, repeated several times over between Marble Arch and Tottenham Court Road. There is very little real choice now, even on the Internet. I also notice too, the replacement of many old buildings with band, boring developers, 'design and build' tat. It's not worthy of the name 'Architecture'. Although born in 1957, I do note the diversity of peoples and appreciate it. Does anyone remember how dull and dreary it could be without diversity?
