Marylebone Road | 1980's London | Streets of London | 1985

[@Smithy67]

Great footage, love this channel. Absolutely brilliant.

[@francescobonfiglio9142]

I miss that London. Now is an alien capital. And I'm from Italy, not from UK.

[@francescobonfiglio9142]

That's the point. Overcrowded, too much tourism, traffic, too much people, pollution. Booming housing prices. Crime. Gentrification without integration. Muslim ghettos. London was not built for such quantity of population, immigration and tourist invasion. 80s London had less population.

[@francescobonfiglio9142]

Yep.

[@francescobonfiglio9142]

Yes, too.

[@SpeccyHorace]

Don't know where to start with this.

[@electroskates2434]

🙃

[@leedummett4412]

wow, 35 yrs ago. i was a child in 1985, and it was the best time to grow up. thatchers children we are now known as. the 1980s was the best decade to grow up.

[@mattiemclean9882]

Everybody thinks the decade they grew up in was the best!

[@margonewman6086]

The cars.....

[@ceilingsandfloors]

Doesn't surprise me ThamesTv decided to disable the comments on their most recent upload of old London footage. Judging by the kinds of comments that dominate the others like this one.

[@gabriellaj.o.6180]

The London I remember before it was a free for all and no one asked me whether I wanted to be in a multi cultural society.

[@ivanahavitoff7308]

pack that in rancid racist troll.

[@d4nnyp5743]

Loved it then, love it now!

[@MrAug80]

I’d love to go back in time and walk around the corner to Ronnie Scott’s jazz club..

[@clipstone]

A lot of Ford cars. A lot of people wearing white and pastel colours.

[@stuartfraser1856]

Clipstone Films pastel was big in the 80s!

[@djpeekay25]

I loved in Romford and all you saw were Fords thanks to the Dagenham plant.

[@fdama]

Oh I didn't know they had traffic lights back then

[@gilesscanlon2586]

It was only 34 years ago

[@Leby980]

Traffic lights were common place in London in the 1930s lmao

[@_B.M_]

I think he was taking the piss!

[@simonsmall6446]

wow I was 17 and on a YTS course

[@francescobonfiglio9142]

London before alien invasion.

[@francescobonfiglio9142]

Non-white europeans, especially africans, middle-eastern and asians.

[@vaughanseventy7522]

There are a lot of dark skinned Italians Francesco - or did the Germans brainwash you into thinking that to be a European you have to have pink skin and yellow hair?

[@francescobonfiglio9142]

@@vaughanseventy7522 who was talking about skin color?

[@francescobonfiglio9142]

@khisanth75 Well, it's the number.

[@francescobonfiglio9142]

That's because of population increase and security cuts.

[@ivanahavitoff7308]

Wonder if they are still married?

[@valerieathome1]

divorced!
