A 1927 Tour Through London - Original Film Footage | 16mm Film Scan

Look back nearly 100 years to this silent home movie footage of a trip to London, from 1927. Travels widely throughout the city and greater London area, showing a number of landmarks and famous sights; from Tower Bridge to Westminster. Notable locations listed in video timestamps. Let me know of any I missed!

Unfortunately, starting about 3:50 in there was substantial flicker to where it was nearly unwatchable; perhaps he dropped and damaged his camera. To mitigate this I did frame-blending, results in some ghosting/motion blur but necessary to save the footage.
