London - The Modern Babylon (2012)

Documentary film-maker Julien Temple turns his camera on London to explore the city's history from the beginning of the 20th century. Using a mixture of archive material and contemporary interviews, he reveals how the English capital has been shaped over the years by a succession of musicians, artists, writers, political radicals and counter-culture figureheads

I will give it a chance before it goes all bbc on me.

Thanks, Ibra.  Not too shabby, thus far.

Great old footage.....Mitchell Downie would like it.

Good programme....

Thus far...

Land of chicken & bookies shops
Irish & brixton community a little unloved in 50s - 60s- 7os
The mini skirts were quite the highlight !

Excellent filum!

Cheers Keef

My old man lived on Finnis St. in Bethnal Green near the Arches.
Anybody that lived in the area in the 50/60/70's and could give me any local
colour of the times would be appreciated.
He left me when I was a nipper and never saw him again....he died in BG in the late 80's

I'm sorry to hear of that, Tam.

Meanwhile, hopefully other peeps will have seen the London flick.

I found it most excellent.
