LIFE IN LONDON IN THE 1930s

By the middle of the 1930s, unemployment is creating political unrest. In the East End, the Battle of Cable Street leads to a ban on political uniforms. Cars are congesting London's streets, and the Government considers removing trams and horses. Gatwick aerodrome is opened, and plans are discussed for a city centre airport. HG Wells offends Muslims with a new book, the Crystal Palace burns down and the King abdicates. As the decade draws to a close, events in Munich bring the capital to the brink of war.

Using rarely seen archive film, this documentary captures London in the Thirties - Narrated by Christopher Ashman.
