This is what London looked like 120 years ago

Hard to watch a society struggle to function without the protections of GDPR

One thing has never changed to this day...

No mass uncontrolled migration no crime waves ignored no erosion of British identity Now compare to today

Marvellous image!

Wow! Absolutely spectacular

Now it looks like this

Why can't we go backwards? Really fast. Really put the pedal to the metal

@FilmLecturer I love archival footage of our past but this is AI and you should be upfront about that.

Love this footage. It is mind blowing that 50 years later, people were driving around souped up muscle cars with V8 engines, so crazy. How did we advance in technology so fast?

Nostalgia is BS. You can't SEE Tuberculosis, Pneumonia, Typhoid etc. Nor the stench of the place. And good luck with your coal heater poisoning your entire family.

Better than a movie

Give me London now with good drainage, clean water & no horse manure everywhere.

Now it’s Afrostan.

Wonder what aesthetic people will use in future to describe London now

It can't be, my BBC says it was 1/3 Asian/POC? 1906 cameraperson must have selected recorded avoiding all diversity?

Gullible people being conscripted for wars the elite want them to fight because they don’t have the guts to do so themselves. Disease and a life expectancy of 50. The stench of pure poverty in the air. Good times.

And it stank. The Thames was an open sewer. Horseshit everywhere. But it looked nice.

Is this actual footage or AI?

the air was thick with soot.. not in this bs colorized image. you see rich folks in these images... the poor?? UN G-dly hell on earth it was in london 120 years ago.. child labor etc..

London then: Greatest city in the world London now: Migrated

It used to be choked by smog, now it's choked by chaos. The air is clearer, but the streets are cluttered with migrant hotels and refugee tents

Ah, the London of my youth. So much life, so much energy, so much optimism. What happened to you, my dear London? By whom were you betrayed?

What, Swiss style trains crossing Ludgate Circus?

My grandparents would have known this London.

avant le suicide collectif organisé par les pro europeens et la grande invasion musulmane qui a commencé 60 ans plus tard

Still, it is clean!🧼 we have so many educated engineer and degree and our country looks like a hell hole

That’s a powerful glimpse into the past Same city, but a completely different rhythm of life horse carts instead of cars, slower streets, and a version of London that feels almost like a different world.

This is the cartoon description of it.

We had slums until the 1950s

What no N Africans?

@itsastroniks You almost expect Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson walking by. 🤭 Just stunning.

Now compare this to Mogadishu, Delhi, Lagos…
