I know it was June 1967 because that was when 'A Fistful Of Dollars' was showing at 'The London Pavilion'.

I was very close to Piccadilly Circus (Lower Regenet Street) every Thursday afternoon between May 1967 to February 1968, for my job, the rest of the time in East London

look at all those cars, they look fantastic they had character and style, cars today are unfortunately bland and boring and I love how 90% of them were British cars

totally agree the place had a vibrant life then , today it is just a big TV screen , so many skilled craftsmen and women were employed making and maintaining the neon signs that gave life to the place now sadly gone .
@JAMamation3 жыл бұрын
@@bneon I agree. It was a shame when the neon signs were taken down, but at least it still had character. Once the big TV screen was installed though it lost its character completely. RIP Piccadilly Circus.

This is great to see. I lived in West London 1965-67, met my wife, got married, drove a Thames van (the Anglia model), had a wonderful time.

@TheKenfig that's how i always understood it too. it's only recently i've seen it listed as '67. maybe the bloke who works for imdb thinks america/britain is the centre of the universe and that an italian release doesn't count!

I believe these are excerpts (not very well put together!) from a film about a day in the life of Piccadilly Circus which I watched on KZbin a few weeks ago. I think it was made by British Pathe (there should be a French 'acute' accent over the 'e'). Google that name for a contact address.
