OK, you've brought tears to my eyes. Wonderful times. I was 25 in 1968 and didn't we strut our stuff!? Great film, even a bobby on the beat. We belonged to London, London belonged to us long before we gave her away.

Thank you Mackenzie for these clips...they are wonderful. We took a couple trips to England (including London) in 1967 and 1968 while my father was in the US Air Force stationed on Crete for 2 years (driving a Chevy Malibu that still had the Texas license plates on it that we had brought over)...I was 11 and 12 years old and have digitized the precious 8mm film he shot at the time...and the Kodachrome slides...almost look like they were shot yesterday. If I had been just a little bit older, I would have been more appreciative of how beautiful the girls were at the time. p.s. - unlike many others here, I like the soundtrack you included...it helps keep the segments lively and moving!

Firstly I must say that this vid is wonderful - thankyou. I was 17/18 when this was filmed & I had been working in St Mary Axe 2 years prior for less than 4GBP per week! Out of which I was paying train fares & money to my Mum. However I did have a lovely Mateus Rose girlfriend & we tried to dress in the lastest gear - usually from C&A. Historically 'times' are always tough for those that do not 'have enough' to meet their desires. I never have been wealthy but have always looked on the bright side with true Hope in the Lord. Please don't be nasty. We can't go back but we can look forward In Faith

Studio one and two cinema in Oxford street (8:57) in background. I grew up in the west end and loved this cinema which always showed Disney produced films.

Brings back many happy memories. Thanks for making and posting.

Also pollution might be messing with our metabolism up to a point; who knows? And food is very cheap and it tastes better than ever. But it's mostly the inner void. Cheers.

I remember visiting London in the late 60s when I was in my early teens & it had a lasting impression on. I remember seeing the hippies playing guitars & my dad said ' look at those long haired layabouts' in jest. 2 years later I grew my hair longer when I left school.

sickpuppy4711 Not entirely. Stuff wasn't cheap but if you saved it was affordable. No average worker had credit cards to buy designer labels at stupid prices or even thought of shopping in high end shops like Chanel! Advertising ramped up to a whole different level every decade, especially now so called celebs flaunt/advertise products on social media that kids think they should have.

+sickpuppy Clothes back then (up to 1968, that is) were awesome, not useless. In comparison, 'useless' could be applied to most of today's current crap 'in' fashions.

I lived in London from the 1960s to the 1990s so all the old buses and trains are so familiar; incredible to think that this early colour TV film is over 50 years old; so timeless...

[@mackenzierough]

Hi Dan, I'm glad that you enjoyed my 8m/m film home movie and yes it has held up well in all that time.
