An incredible collection of clips claiming to be the oldest ever footage of London has been released, some dating back 125 years.
Historical film production company Yestervid has put together the amazing video showing 46 vintage shots of recognizable places in London.
Filmed between 1890 and 1920, the locations include Westminster, Embankment, the West End and Hyde Park.
One clip of Trafalgar Square is said to be the oldest surviving footage of London.
The video includes maps and new footage showing side-by-side comparisons of old with new.
Producer Al Paton said: “As far as we know, a project of this nature and factual depth has never been undertaken.
“We also love the feeling of seeing the horse-drawn carts, people and old buildings.
“Nostalgia makes you reflect on your own life and leaves you with a sense of wonder because essentially, this is your story.”
