Description
The film is shot in London, the capital and largest city of the United Kingdom. It begins with scenes from the bustling Oxford Street, showing the cars of that era as well as the iconic red double-decker London bus. We observe the characteristic fashion of the time, with classic men's attire featuring a bowler hat and a cane-umbrella, along with the more modern women's styles of the era.
Next, we move to Trafalgar Square, featuring Nelson's Column and children feeding the pigeons. A panoramic shot captures the entire square, including the central fountain.
The scene then shifts to Hyde Park. The camera focuses on ducks swimming in the Serpentine lake and then shows the Albert Memorial in Kensington Gardens. We see the British military band marching, followed by a view of Buckingham Palace. A parade featuring the Royal Guard and the mounted "Life Guards" is also shown.
A panoramic shot follows, capturing the Elizabeth Tower, commonly known as "Big Ben," at the Palace of Westminster. The cinematographer then introduces a woman in a Citroën DS car.
The film continues with the Tower of London, with the English flag waving. A brief shot of Tower Bridge follows before returning to the castle. We also see an antique and art shop called “The Old Curiosity Shop” on 13–14 Portsmouth Street, one of London’s oldest houses, which inspired Charles Dickens.
The recording proceeds with scenes from Piccadilly Circus, highlighting its colourful neon advertising signs. A short glimpse of 10 Downing Street, the British Prime Minister’s residence, follows. The film concludes with a view of St James’s Park.
