Driving Through Old London in the 1950s

A fascinating glimpse into the recent past, with unfamiliar shops, quieter streets and lingering bomb sites.

  • 1:15 Kensington High St, now moving W and looking SE. We start just E of Allen St. Just past Abingdon St.
  • 2:02 we turn N up Phillimore Gardens.
  • At 2:59 we turn R into Upper Phillimore Gardens and continue till 3:26 cut to 3:26 Kensington High Street going W and looking NE. Stars just past Argyll Rd where we were at 1.14 on the other side.
