Early London film

Footage recovered from Australia's National Film and Sound Archive shows scenes of 1904 London. Shot by early film-maker Charles Urban it was presented to Australian audiences as a travelogue for those who had never visited the "mother country" or who had emigrated previously.

The full 12 minute film was featured as part of the current London Film Festival.
