A bizarre way to feed pigeons and an unusually popular spot of road fixing feature in this newsreel tour of 1930s London.
The undoubted highlight – although that might not be the right word – of this whistlestop tour of London in the 1930s comes at Parliament Square, where a woman puts food in her mouth and then allows pigeons to peck it out again, using her open mouth as a bowl. Very strange. Elsewhere, a crowd watches some men digging a hole on the Strand, an ice cream seller takes a break and we also visit Hyde Park, Piccadilly, Bank, Trafalgar Square, the Embankment and more. Very entertaining.
