London England is a city of contrasts, of wonder and beauty, of progress meeting age old architecture, of refinement and class. A 1920s London is shown in “Seeing London” proof that while progress has been the tempo of the city little has changed in the design such as seen in St. Stephen’s Tower, otherwise known as ‘Big Ben,’ and in the parliamentary buildings. Design and grace are evident in every frame of this silent picture, homage to a city that would see its buildings scarred by the coming second war but not moved or destroyed. Parts of the city also shown: Downing Street, St. Paul’s Cathedral, The Tower of London, and more.
