Take a grand tour around London's most iconic attractions in this amateur portrait of the capital during the summer of '65

By all accounts the summer of ‘65 was a poor one. However, you wouldn't know it from this film. With London's top attractions – Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge, Trafalgar Square, etc. - refulgent in summer sun, it's only possible to imagine a dark cloud behind the door of 10 Downing Street, where Harold Wilson was facing a distinctly uncertain future after heavy by-election loses.

This film is from the collection of Redbridge Museum, Local Studies and Archives, a member of the London's Screen Archives Network.
