i have walked down oxford street 100s of times in the 40 years, this is wonderful to see, sad also as have those names have gone now, woolworths, littlewoods, to name a few, even then it was busy, but cleaner.

[@markjohnstone2026]

Love these little time travel trips. The roads filled with classic cars of the era etc and the everyday people of half a century ago.

[@ZeldaFitz]

Road ramp over Oxford Circus, this was in place whilst the Victoria line was being built in the mid 60’s

[@jennifermaharaj3551]

I worked at Peter Robinson shop on the Strand 1966 -1968 and I went to the Oxford Street shop on mornings to clear the tills (paper record) at that time "Top Shop" was one of the departments,nice video.

Excellent Video !!!!!😁

[@williamr3840]

Hardly any traffic -- hardly any people. How it's changed for the very worst. :0/

[@alyciamarrison2916]

absulutly wonderful clear film! amazing!

[@ivanahavitoff7308]

Bourne and Hollingsworth for the school uniform
Woolworths for the sweets and stationary
Waring and Gillow for the trunk
Littlewoods for Uncles ciggies
Peter Robinson for the knickers
A jump over the bridge at Oxford Circus while the victoria line was being done.
A quick flick in BHS
Lunch in DH Evans
Tea in Marshall and Snelgrove
I SEE IT ALL.

Time machine! 1969

Beautiful England. Those full length coats and macs have welland truly gone out of fashion.

[@leerage9278]

It's kind of recognisable but not at street level, however if you look up!

[@FredoSantana90]

3:35 no way is that where oxford street and regent street meet. It looks like it was all raised like a highway. woww

[@Bradonomous]

When they were building the Victoria line they had to build a raised bridge over Oxford Circus so that they could rebuild the station without disrupting traffic

[@ZeldaFitz]

@@Bradonomous Spot on, there is a transport film on you tube of the bridge being constructed in 1962/63

[@andynixon2820]

Red and white lambretta , looks like an Li but with SX 150 side panels ? - would any other scooter nerds like to comment ?

[@andynixon2820]

That raised roadway - with barriers - over Oxford circus is really weird . I never knew that it had existed until watching this video .

[@ryancolley7753]

Andy - That part interested me too. I found out on Wikipedia that it was there from some point in 1963 until April 1968 as part of the works being undertaken to connect Oxford Circus tube station to the Victoria line. Here's a link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_Circus (Look under the section which mentions the tube station)

[@andynixon2820]

@@ryancolley7753 I recently found a period film on you tube showing the construction work , really interesting .

[@ryancolley7753]

@@andynixon2820 Sounds good. Do you have a link?

[@judiprince7727]

Looks like li 150 lambretta. I had one but with a fly screen being a mod😂

[@user-pj8uj7wx3s]

In the early 60s one could just park outside any shop in Oxford St - in the 50s there weren't even meters.

[@thesoupdragonat121]

My 'manor',- wonderful memories and thankfully devoid of dawdling gawping tourists!

[@AFaceintheCrowd01]

Nice place. What happened to it?

Marshall & Snelgrove before it became Debenhams 4:27

All women wear a dress or skirt. Not a single woman wearing trousers.

[@harleyhartley3168]

That’s such a freakish thing to complain about

[@lizoliver4407]

And our legs were always freezing cold in winter!!

[@pauldeboef8083]

@@lizoliver4407 Was it forbidden to wear trousers?

[@lizoliver4407]

@@pauldeboef8083 In those days girls at school & even many colleges had to wear skirts & dresses. Many companies had dress codes for both men & women. I never saw my mother or any of her friends in jeans or even trousers. My father always wore a tie. The freedom in later years saw me always in trousers or jeans.

[@Tony11806]

I was born in 1960 and women started to wear trousers in public in about the late 1960s as far as I remember and it was not the done thing for women to wear trousers in public but fashion trends were beginning to change at that time.

Visitors to London are impressed more often than the residents - but tourists don't visit the suburbs ' the REAL London

[@Tony11806]

If tourists travelled outside the tourism areas of London into the non tourist and real areas London those tourists would never visit London again. 😆😆😆

[@Keithbarber]

@@Tony11806 and how peaceful london would become 😌 too peaceful 🤣

[@Tony11806]

@@Keithbarber I was born in North London in 1960 and I remember when London was still a white British City as in the video and even the tourist areas like Oxford Street are succumbing to immigration and the problems that immigration brings.

The real London is gone. It is now an Africanised stab fest where English people dare not go.
