Good days back then before lefty PC wokes complete tossers boat people trying to get in.bleeding foreigners who need to speak English london had gone down the plug hole. And don't get me started on them torries🎉

Now it’s turned to shite

At this time, the TOWER OF LONDON was still intact when people visited. Now it is ruined, on 2 sides, by ugly tall buildings, and you can't avoid seeing them! This has been done all over London, by "the money people", of today, destroying the view ALL along the river.. Just to show they can, now they have got control of the country and beyond. So people better watch films - to see how London used to look in proper times!

I know the clip was about Mauretania, but I'm gonna say it - Olympic looked sublime.

I just saw part of this in the film *Overlord* and knew I had to look it up!

is it just me or he pushed her😭

Free Palestine!

What happened to this once great city. This seems a dream compared with today and it’s faulty mayor and disastrous government

Never a truer word said YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU GOT TILL ITS GONE 😢

I was working in London from 1975 to 2007……this makes it seem like ages ago…….which I suppose it is!

London is still great .. don”t listen to those fools who disagree, they are just bitter of change..

London posse

Utterly ruined by adverts every few minutes.

Hmm a 1980's WIMPY...

How nice was our capital when it was just us!!!!

London was great and still is

Let's settle down and see how many blecks we got

If UA-cam was around in 1981 there’d have been loads of comments saying that London was so much better in 1938. ‘‘Twas ever thus.

Once the capital of the most advanced and powerful culture on the planet Now a third world shit hole

Unbelievable that McParland wasn't sent off. He deliberately set out to injure Wood.

Notice how grimey it was compared today

Interesting shop at 18:52

Lads, we can not just stand here idly reminiscing of good times. We have to actually do something about it. I don’t care how hopeless it seems. We have to fight to the very end. Our ancestors are looking upon us.

And now London is a multicultural hellscape.

Recently read two books about LaGuardia. What a man! Amazing intelligence and accomplishments.

what a crime miss usa lynda carter didn't win, she was absolutely stunning and more beautiful than any of these women, miss australia? really?smh

This kitsch little valentine says nothing about London that you can't get in any guidebook and nothing about the age

This load of jingoistic bullshit has not worn very well has it?

That WAS London.

I remember. The pollution was so bad you couldn’t wear white, it would be grey by the end of the day. The ancient and outdated technology. Getting mugged on the Tube was something you could expect, or just being battered to a pulp by skinheads (”Down in the Tube Station at Midnight” by The Jam, anyone?) The bomb scares, the bombings. The Hyde Park Corner bombing of 1982, what carnage; I was nearby, it was as if the war had started all over again. Unemployment, stagnation, strikes, a self-destructive car industry committing suicide in slow motion. The decrepit wastelands of Docklands that had only recently been shut, leaving nothing but toxic waste and mud behind. Ronan Point collapsing. On the other hand, friendliness, helpfulness, politeness, gentlemanship. And now? Skyline raped by stark raving lunatic architects erecting shards and walkie-talkies and gherkins and other phallic symbols all over the place. Stores and restaurants and pubs closing down because people are shopping online and can’t afford going out. And why would they? They can’t even afford to live in London since everything is bought up by oligarchs and billionaires an buy-to-let speculators. A city moving from being liveable into becoming a giant fairground - even with its own ferris wheel, the hideous London Eye. Gone is the friendliness and replaced by fierce cutthroat competition and every-man-for-himself attitudes. On the other hand, the place is infinitely cleaner. You don’t get choked in smoke, you don’t risk burning to a crisp just because someone discarded a match onto the wooden escalators at King’s Cross. The buildings are cleaner. The place is safer with fewer bombings and police finally bearing arms and tactical gear instead of only being equipped with whistles and the ability to say ”Ello, ello, ello”. Things have become both worse and better. But when we think about what went wrong, fight the real enemy. Greedy property developers. Big and often shady money from overseas. Ranpant predatory capitalism. And last but not least, Thatcherism, which smashed and shattered the social fabric of the country and replaced courtesy with psychopathic egotism. From the Huguenots to the Chinese to the Jews to the Angles to the Saxons to the Normans to the Vikings to the Celts, Britain has *always* been an immigrant nation. That isn’t the problem here. Selling out the country to the highest bidder and mismanaging the rest is where we need to start looking. Fight the real enemy.

The decline is palpable

I don't need to say a word do I?.

The Thatcher years.!!!...Strikes, Unemployment, Riots, Racism ect, ect. That is the Real reality of 1981fast forward 2024 same story..🤔

BALD! BALD! BALD!!!

yet the building stayed solid

When it was just a dump, those were the days

Perdere nn vuol dire aver torto

Predictably, the comments are 95% "Take me back to the Winter of Discontent, neverending strikes, the Brixton riots, 11% unemployment, filthy air and IRA bombs, please!"

Winnie was a great leader of the Britts . He was our backbone no danger

People blaming foreigners are absolute numb skulls, people were blaming foreigners back in the 80s, 70s, 60s etc etc. You're fucking boring

Thanks to the likes of Blair and Khan, London is now a complete dumpster fire.

No todo es pizza, queso y hablar con estilo como creen los italianos jajajaja

My Grandparents and Dad lived there when I was a child, and I visited 4-5 times a year starting in 1980. It's an absolute cesspit now, barely any actual Londoners, people coping with 'oh it was awful in the 80s as well' are doing just that. Punks and skinheads were no where even close to the level of violence now from black gang culture, and the streets did not have people from 3rd world literally defecating on them, and marching in the streets making demands of their hosts.

So it took just over 40 years to turn it into an overpopulated cesspit where indigenous folk were no longer made to feel welcome in their town of birth. Impressive! The people responsible must be so proud!

I dont care what people say I love the Queen.

Bloody mudrer😢

I'm born in 1981, not many tall buildings back then, in London. Only downside, a (muzlim) mayor, disgrace. And citizens!

When London was majority white, and relatively safe.

To all those who've left negative and nasty comments. Yes I agree all cities change, grown and modernise with new technologies etc. Yet as we see, London has changed in a very different way to what most are commenting on. My feeling is that although some changes are welcome, there are certain evil people who never stop to ask the indigenous folk what they think, which is where a lot of these current problems stem from. Folk are not racist, ignorant, right wing or any other crass words you can hurl. Wr just love our capital city, our homeland, regardless of race, creed, gender. Go to othe countries and you will know most folk want to make their country and lives better. Sadly due to very bad decisions and vile ideology we're in trouble. To aknowledge that is not wrong or hateful. Freedom of speech that we all enjoy came at a price for those who died in the world wars. Please never forget that. Till we have built Jerusalem on England's green and pleasant land 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧😘

Everybody. Huuwhite.
