That's the first time I have seen Leytonstone High Road not chokka with queuing traffic.

And I do miss the old Liverpool Street.

Thanks for that, I'd not seen that. I have a few bookmarks of old photos as I now live in the area and historically my Dad's side of the family come from round here.

This is a great one if you've not seen it, very Wapping and Docklands heavy though. https://www.flickr.com/photos/dmcl/sets/1013230/with/46401207/

No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.

Great photos. London looked better then, especially Liverpool St Station.

I have a very vague recollection of Liverpool Street in the 80s, mainly it being big and dirty but think there was only one occasion I would have got the train to London as a kid.

Brilliant stuff as always, it only seems like yesterday when Isle of Dogs was being redeveloped. Everything happened so quickly, I can't remember the year but I will never forget when I drove down there in the trusty Nissan Violet SSS and it had turned into a pile of nothing.

Even the Millennium Dome going up seems like ancient history now, something very poignant about that collection of photos.

I am reminded of a couple of old films by them, a 1950s British go at the type of neo-realist drama that was coming of Italy called 'Pool of London' which features, amongst other things, James Robertson Justice deciding that the best thing to do after a long sea voyage is to settle down with a book of poetry and a bottle of whisky, and the first mixed-race romance in British films:

And, of course, 'The Long Good Friday':

This TV show which I loved dearly completely encapsulates the time of the Docklands change.

Highly recommended, well worth buying.
