A home movie of London filmed featuring many of the capitals iconic sites including Victoria Embankment, Trafalgar Square and London Zoo. Title: Photographed on Dufaycolor sub-standard film Pigeons and gulls fly-about coming into land along the Victoria Embankment as vehicles and trams travel past. Work is being carried out on the lattice steelworks of Waterloo Bridge where a crane stands atop the steel lattice of its frame. The face of the Egyptian-style sphinx on the east side of Cleopatra’s Needle, across the road the Shell Mex House. The clock on Shell Mex House reads 1.23pm. Pedestrians walk along Victoria Embankment, a man crosses at a zebra crossing waiting on a red double-decker bus to pass. A steam tugboat passes under a bridge is followed by the gilded eagle atop the Royal Air Force Memorial along Victoria Embankment. A bus travels along Abingdon Street, in the distance Elizabeth Tower at the north end of the Palace of Westminster.

At the northside of Westminster Bridge the bronze statue of Boadicea and Her Daughter. Nearby, a larger motorboat is moored along a jetty. In Trafalgar Square two women and a small child feed the pigeons as waterspouts from one of the fountains. Traffic moves around the plaza, in the background the church of St Martin-in-the-Field. The face of one of the lions at the base of Nelson’s Column, in the background South Africa House and from another angle the National Portrait Gallery. Visitors walk through St James Park near Horse Guard Parade passing by the Guards Memorial.

Sitting nearby a man dressed in a suit made up of mother-of-pearl button; a ‘Pearlie’. A sign for the ‘Underground’ and pedestrians walking into Charing Cross Station. From Pall Mall East traffic moves past both the National Portrait Gallery as well as the church of St Martin-in-the-Field in the near distance. The bronze lion at the base of Nelson’s Column changes to that of the Tower of London from the river as well as from Tower Bridge where both pedestrians and traffic pass. From along the embankment Tower Bridge itself. A small girl feeding the pigeons and being watched over by an older couple change to that of the spires atop St Bride’s church on Fleet Street, a bronze statue of a man in the foreground.
