My youth: London in the 60's and 70's. Man, reminiscing is sad but good at the same time.

Fab life we was fit children out doors all the time great video.

[@antonbrum5492]

Hey! Look no mobile phones just people talking and kids playing. I was a teenager in London in the 1960's.

[@oldguy2976]

You just don’t see kids out in the parks and streets playing anymore ..... all inside on games consoles , computers . (Anti ) social media becoming hermits with no real social interaction . I’m glad I was born in 1960 and got a childhood

[@kevinruddy448]

Well said 😅👆🍀🎶I was born 1956, so I remember the 60s and everyone who was anybody was very trendy and happy and stopped and chatted, now they allow dumb cell phones 📱😑to rule it 😶and losing the human factor 📲🤖, the divorce rate is normal conclusion now, and that domino's to the next generation 🙁people are like sheep 🐑🐑🐑🐑and what's scary and annoying is they don't realise it 🥴?!, but at least our lot lived 🍀💕👍

[@beverlyledbetter4906]

One of my favorite eras...especially on the British side!

[@kensyskye8965]

It’s great seeing the clothes, playground stuff and prams.....I was tiny but remember a lot! 😀

[@mdee64]

What a fantastic video,things a lot simpler then.London has changed so much and not for the better I'm afraid.

[@timcolledge3732]

Great stuff!! Seems much less crowded and congested.

Thanks, it brings memories (and tears).

Love the accompanying tune, had long forgotten this song.

[@aleks1845]

I wish I could experience life in the 60’s-70’s. I listen to rock from this era and it’s amazing. Im 31 btw now.

[@chazmork8265]

great songwriters and singers whose music will still being played in a hundred years from now, of their time and a bench mark for new generations to inspire new singers and bands that's their legacy, their influence, raw, flawed but, they get you going once heard never forgotten, am still a Doors fanatic, Jim Morrison, what more can we say about him, ''doing time in a universal mind'' magic!!!!

Great video,I was born in 1958 in Trafalgar Avenue just off Old Kent Road,moved to Manaton Road Peckham when I was around 4 or 5,played out all day,we made our own games up and went in when it was dark,happy days,kids today don't know what they missed.

Hiya chaz,to think All those baby's in their prams at the beginning of this video are all the same age as me now! Scarry man! Lol, great quality film footage mate! Love the soundtrack to this vid. Wayne Fontana's cover version of major Lance classic" um um um um um" awesome tune! We are the mods!! Even my pram had 6 mirrors each side of its ,a row of headlights, chrome wheels, and a half inched rolls Royce lady stuck on Top of the pram hood! No wonder me mom called me baby FACE!! 😂👍👍🛵🛵🛵

Lovely stuff thanks

[@CB1000FP1]

I was not even a teenager at the start of the sixties and I was an apprentice engineer before the end of it and I still think it was the best decade I've ever lived through. I enjoyed my childhood in the fifties but everything seemed to get brighter and more colourful when the sixties came I agree it wasn't perfect but it was better than the following decades

[@AnnabelleJARankin]

It was also more stylish than following decades - people dressed better, furniture was built to last, and cars were fabulous!

[@flatoutuk]

​@@AnnabelleJARankin a little rose tinted. I love old classic cars and in some respects they were simpler but the engineering quality and reliability was much more inferior than today.

I love London so much! I lived there in the 80s for 6 years - what a wonderful time in my life! it was incredible! I love watching vintage videos of the 60s in London - I love the era I was born in! I am a mod! and sometimes a rocker! ;) I am feeling so very nostalgic these days, and am starting to make digital all of my prints from those days! It's quite a lot, but I am beginning now and will make some memory videos like yours! Cheers!

aw brilliant let me know as soon as you make them, fantastic!!!!

[@chazmork8265]

I don't like to see criminals get documentaries or films made about these people "they were real gents,only hurt their own kind" nonsense you don't hear anything truly , don't fool yourself they tortured whoever got in their way , they were police informers, you think these dapper gents made a decent couple of bob honestly there's a lot of people they fed to the pig farms they used , bodies buried in various flyovers and motorways we shall never know about , young girls with acid thrown over them,razored cause they could not take anymore trying to get out of being forced into prostituting their bodies, sorry am not into big upping Ron and Reg, one of their aunts was a back street abortionists with a coat hanger, after the war and we'll into the late 50s not the "it's all about family, looking after your own" front for columns of prints in the newspapers they craved ,am sorry to say, but truth doesn't bring back those who suffered at their blood soaked hands

[@gvevers1]

Fantastic!!!

[@maggieoakley9020]

Just magic thanks!

[@highdownmartin]

The Autobuffet at Charing Cross, the dayglo dyes in some of the headwear, the FX3 cab at Vic. The doors open and everyone off, of all slamdoor arrivals everywhere. The lovely tarmac concourse at Waterloo mainline, uncluttered save a smiths stall. Grand stuff, I’d love a day wandering round the London terminii if it could still be like this.

[@GaryWoodhouse-uw1wc]

Grew up in the 60,s, best school days even school dinners, kids always outdoors playing, always seemed to be sunny maybe that's just me being sentimental,happy Days when the people I loved were all here. Adiós amigos.

[@maggieoakley9020]

I just love this thank you so much💕

Happy. healthy children playing outside,loved the big prams,the one with the twins in,now sat in stroller facing the sun an wind,who thought that was a good idea,

[@biancawilloughby9980]

I was born in 1960 and for better or worse all the decades were great including the current one. Living and loving life.

[@tonyalways7174]

They say we’ve made progress but it’s a bit difficult to see in which way London has improved comparing then and now.

[@noelsalisbury7448]

An interesting opening Car Shot - I've not seen a stretch(ed) Ford Anglia before! What an interesting Coachbuilders project that must have been - I wonder if the vehicle is still in one piece?

[@malcolmnicholls2893]

One can see that by the sixties ordinary folk were pretty well fed and clothed. The welfare state provided orange juice and Marmite for mums. Can't get much better than that. We mustn't let it go !

[@barbarapalmer8224]

I was singing this song this morning would you believe!!! Your videos are fabulous. thank you for the time and effort you put in to them.. Does anybody contact you because they have seen themselves on your videos.

[@chazmork8265]

yes it's always fascinating too read from views of their lives in detail, I love to hear from every one of them or their families and appreciate every one's comments on how they remember their precious memories with all of us, that's what inspires me to try and make another video,still got tons of footage and photos to sift through, I always have a certain song in my head, then take it from there when the right time comes along, I never plan any of these videos, just let them happen.

[@janellis4755]

They were Happy days

[@Glen-ft8ch]

London England today looks more like New Delhi. 😭

[@gilladamson3722]

We didn’t worry about what we wore, or if we looked fashionable, our mums dressed us and all we wanted to do was go out and play, no worries, just hoped your best friend was out there too. Kids are SO stressed today, but that reflects modern life I suppose.

[@davidfisher7433]

if you liked the song listen to THE ORIGNAL by Major Larnce

[@chlariepeace6810]

I do not. No it never hard of it

[@Deedee-ee1sg]

Sweet! But if you were in low paid jobs life was tough, much tougher than today. Millions of people lived very frugally, and in poor housing. Millions had no central heating, unlike today's rather pampered Gen, and millions didn't even have a phone at home!!!

[@malcolmnicholls2893]

A phone ? No way. Unless I'm wrong they were more expensive then in real terms than now, as with many manufactured goods. Outside W.C. Cold tap only. Eventually a fridge and TV about '60 or so. But, loving parents, good community, well fed, healthy, many friends.
