Fantastic!

I didn’t grow up south of the Thames, Brentwood in Essex in the 1950’s, South London looked a dump, congested with loads of buildings and people.

I know many of the places shown here. Good to see old photos especially ones with Routemasters and RTs in.

I was probably on both the 696 Trolley and the Woolwich ferry, very possibly on the same day.

Love all these old photos .

Very often look like war zones these places now

Dad worked at garland rd plumstead for mod

Love this black and white ,the swinging soulful 60s ,mods rockers 1950s cars ,Pirate radio on your transister radio

Beer is still lovely.

AWESOME!!!! Thanks for sharing 🎹

I love all those times LONDON now is too fast full of traffic i living now in Hastings i love it been here 18 years. Thank you for the great video.

London was lovely back then, lovely memories.

What is the music playing anyone know ???? Good to see New Cross make an appearance !

Lived for a few years in a shop in birds nest hollow. My three sisters in a box room no furniture just mattresses on the floor, three older boys in another room, and my parents. The bath was in the kitchen when we moved in. But despite that we were happy raking round the streets and kicking a ball on the common. Before that we were 10 year's in Ennis Rd.

South London my beloved home town, now lost and gone forever

Wow, i dont even know why this popped up. After divorcing my dad we moved in with my Auntie Pat and uncle MIke at Kirk Lane Plumstead for (I'm guessing) a couple of years. Had my first year of school at Plumstead - all I can remember was the school had a good vibe. I've tried to Google it on maps but it looks like its been demolished, either that or my memory is wrong. We didnt have a lot of money but I remember Uncle Mike would treat us to a cake from shop in Plumstead common rd. He was a Charlton fan and worked at Fords in Dagenham. All that would be from 1959 to '61 for me, as around that time Mum moved us up to Rochdale. I was born in 1954. What a lovely snapshot of back then. All looks so much more good and positive and not as crowded. Nice one, made my day. Martin

Not a Burka to be seen...

0:53 wow Dr who's there @ 0:53 #Dr #who lol The TV show Doctor Who mainly features a single #TARDIS used by the central character the Doctor. However, in the series other TARDISes are sometimes seen or used. The Doctor's TARDIS has a number of features peculiar to it, notably due to its age and personality.

🤣🤣🤣 Merry Christmas Den

Type in 'South London' into UA-cam, it's utterly charming.

Just found this. Lots of memories, the Odeon at Lewisham where I would go to Saturday Morning pictures for a 'tanner'! Lived in Blackheath Village in the late 50's and early 60's, before moving to New Cross, Secondary school at Eltham and first job with Woolwich Borough Council. Late teen years spent socialising in Lewisham (The Anchor and Roebuck pubs), and greyhound racing at Catford, New Cross and Charlton dog tracks with regular games of snooker above Burtons in Lewisham. And of course, Saturday afternoons at The Valley. Yup, I know it all so well.

Yep, that 53 bus running between Plumstead Common and Oxford Circus, via Woolwich, Charlton, Blackheath (not Village), Deptford, New Cross, Old Kent Road, Elephant and Circus, Westminster Bridge.

Attention viewers, this was a place called England once where everyone was happy and life was normal. Sorry for the confusion you may think you had initially viewed another country.

All lovely places I'm 68 , look at it now what a shit hole

Terrific pre invasion photos.

Look no graffiti.

I've come to London💂‍♂️ 3 times A magical city 💖

Here we are in 2019, and That’s the first 696 trolley I’ve seen since I traveled on them as a 5 year old, between BexleyH, Welling, and Woolwich. The route is still 96.

Great photos Dennis. Good to see The Valley so packed. My dad broke an ankle larking about with his mates in a wheel barrow on the Abbey Wood estate while it was being built, the day before a trial with Charlton Athletic. Silly bugger could've been a pro, but that injury finished it. And here I am stuck in SE7...

Where on Old Kent Road is that? What street number? I worked in a garage at the corner of Peckham Park Road.

Great old pics, awful music.

I remember going to Saturday morning pictures at that cinema at the Elephant in the mid sixties.

I remember seeing a picture of the first McDonalds store opening in the UK at Woolwich. The high street was chock full of people that went to see it!! Wall to wall !!

i spent so many good times around plumstead , woolwich, catford, lewisham sydenham and forest hill in the 70's 80's - shame things have to change...and i dont just mean "cheesemans" in lewisham going !!.

Nice to see the 53 and 36b Buses. Lived on Chestnut Rise for about 5 years in the mid 80's, had great fun in Plumstead, made some great friends.

The only time I visited London in my 77 years, was to have a new engine fitted to my AJS bike, in Plumstead, ( under guarantee) in the mid 1960's. it was a long journey back to Cornwall . Yet I've heard of ALL these places since..

come on you spurs

Grew up in Lewisham and Catford, wouldn't dream of living there now. Such a shame :(

That brings back memories. Unfortunately that's all us Spurs fans have to live on now, just memories. I can recite the double team from Bill Brown to Cliff Jones. it is emblazoned on my memory!! Can today's players bring back that great feeling of pride back to White Hart Lane - time will tell ...

Walking up the Hill from Plumstead high street to St Nicholas Hospital. and being born in there. where have all the years gone, just not same London anymore.

Ok it was drab,but it was my country.

Tower bridge rd cornered to Webb street @ 1 min 10 secs ? a place where you may have known both Cleo French & Martin Holland ,,

Hi Dennis, just came across your videos, great job! I grew up in Plumstead, so we must have a connection. My Dad is Gary Munday, son of Lenny Munday who had a brother Alfie and others. I remember my Dad's cousins grew up in Barnfield gardens, Tony and Danny. Any connection?

I'm Still here' Palmerston Crescent

Where I lived is now parking bays and now renamed Jago Close. :(

I lived in Palmerston Cresent, just off Bird's Nest Hollow, I lived there from 1963 to 1969, in the first house next to the pub, I was 7 when we moved out, my dad worked at Beasley's, I seem to remember they were pulling the first 10 (more or less) houses down, hence the reason we moved, thanks for the video, I have lots of happy memories living and playing there. A question, what is the tune playing?, as soon as I heard it I recognised it, but can't for the life of me remember what the name of it is, must be an age thing!.

Hey, an actual sane Londoner. I never got the childish hatred of all other 11 clubs (well, maybe Millwall) but I grew up an Arsenal supporter but always loved watching the classic West Ham sides of Brooking, Bonds et al, Elton John era Watford (long ball be damned they scored goals, man!), QPR the Marsh/Bowles era and even a Simon Stainrod or so...and even (shock! horror!) Spurs of late to those old Hoddle sides. London is your one-stop shopping for football-a-go-go.

Just been on to Amazon to get a copy of the book but it's only available on Kindle - will there be a hard copy published Dennis - I really hope so, as it's something I'd love to keep on the shelf !!!
