MANILA, Philippines – Ever wanted to walk through London in the 1920s? If the answer is yes, director Simon Smith has just the thing you’re looking for.
Through editing, resourcefulness and sheer love of the capital city of England, Smith shows us what London looked like over 90 years ago and how it compares to the London of the present.
In 1924, Harry B. Parkinson and Frank Miller released a film series called ‘Wonderful London’ to give audiences the sights and sounds of the year. In 2014, Smith walked the same exact streets they did and shot the same exact scenes. The product? A nostalgic peek at the past and a stark vision of the city’s development.
What has changed in London and what hasn’t? St. Paul’s Cathedral, the Strand, and the West End are just some of the sights you’ll see below.
