Also if you think London wasn't full of all ethinicitys back then, then you are severely mistaken. It's just the amount of people now it appears so much more.
I love the Dunlop Ads and how big the Tower looks. It's so dwarfed now, but it looks so amazing and spacious. I would give anything to spend a day there in that time
My nan was born and grew up in east london and she said you never used to see a black person aeound there.
There was a black MP a few years before or after that IIRC. Hardly rare. Then there is Chinatown,
Jewish quarter etc... That's where Jack the Ripper ran away through after one of the murders. Hugely diverse unsurprisingly as its a shipping/port town on the sea. You will find globally that there is a common trend for most ports etc being ethinically diverse.
never seen a black chinese man mate.

John, my old friend kicked the bucket before the world ended. It was a real shame he didnt get to see the wonderful things happen.
He looked a mess the last time i saw him and new his time was soon. R.I.P Ted
I know there were coloured people here as the area what I grew up in had coloured butlers at the time.
But one thing for sure London was a shit hole then and still is now.
Up the norvrn monkehs!!

Brilliant find Steve. Thanks for sharing. 
Seen some Friese-Greene stuff on BBC4 before. It's incredible.
So strange, so cool and so fascinating looking at colour moving pictures from the thick end of a century ago.
