A film from a trip abroad, shot during a business trip of the author, who at that time did not go abroad personally. This is a film postcard from London at the turn of the 60s and 70s. Double-decker buses, horse police, Trafalgar Square, Guards Crimean War Memorial, Piccadilly Circus, Portobello Road with the famous flea market: stalls with clothes, musical instruments, paintings, ceramics, street musicians, fashion of the late 60s, finally, which is not surprising due to the professional interests of the author, a newsstand.
