This short excerpt comes from Charles Urban's travelogue Living London.

The 11-minute edited version of the film held by the NFSA is the only known surviving footage of the 40-minute original.

It was screened in the first decade of the twentieth century by the Australian-based Corrick Family Entertainers as part of their variety act.

Urban's sweeping portrait of turn-of-the-century life in London was a great success with audiences in Britain and Australia.

You can read more about the process of restoring the Corrick Collection and about the 130 films that make up the Corrick Collection.
