b/w and silent and made aprox. 1922..We see a London that is no longer and can join the many who lament the later war destruction and the modernisation vandalism..However delight in the city vistas. the street scenes with the londerners, the motor buses..Visit #the first large american store in london#...Attend a baseball match with us army playing us navy and viewed by king george v and queen mary. Note the title #the royal party are kindly disposed but puzzled # Then are the tourist,s sites-downing street, the abbey,bank of england ..enjoy

Nice overview of 1920's London, starting with the Parliament buildings, then going around to St. Pauls Cathedral, the Tower of London, and downing street. The film promises we'd get to see royalty too, but all they could nuster was a VERY low ranking Duke. Otherwise, pretty randy!
