This remarkable film showing working class London life was shot around 1931. The majority of the film concentrates on the major street market at the Bricklayer's Arms end of Tower Bridge Road. Although shot without sound, they capture the hustle and bustle of the busy streets wonderfully. We see numerous shops - housed greengrocers, butchers, a baker, a clothes dealer and even a colourman (paint seller). Watch out for a shot of Manzes Pie & Mash shop at number 87, established in 1902 and ... Views: 4,353 |

The Docklands bombing (also known as the Canary Wharf bombing or South Quay bombing) on February 9, 1996, was one of the most significant Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) attacks during the 1990s, as it caused severe damage to a significant part of the East London Docklands financial development and brought an end to their ceasefire of the previous two years. At about 19:01 on 9 February, the IRA detonated a half-tonne bomb in a small lorry about 80 yards from South Quay Station on ... Views: 10,838 |

This is a cyclist's blackspot, as lorries have turn left into Southwark Bridge crushing cyclists. Despite fatalities, there are no warning signs such as 'Caution Cyclist' anywhere to warn motorists to watch out and it looks like there is no cycle path away from the Traffic Lights. Views: 46 |

A lorry driver from Mayday Tool and Plant Hire attempts to overtake at an inappropriate and unsafe moment. Luckily he aborts when I signal a stop to him with my right arm extended, palm facing back. This causes him to repeatedly beep his horn, whilst pulling a sign at me. If he'd only waited a little, I would have happily pulled in somewhere to let him past once my own safety wasn't at stake. What I thought was amusing was when he realised I had a video camera, he held back under the bridge ... Views: 3,343 |

The incident, caught on a private security camera, happened as the mayor cycled in a street in Limehouse. As a lorry overtook him, its back doors flew open and hooked the windscreen of a parked car, dragging it for several yards before smashing into another. Views: 148,818 |

As you can see here, when the driver is in the cab the driver cannot see the cyclists in the front at all, only ones in the middle part of the ASL. It was a bit of a shock. The police recommend cyclists make eye contact with the lorry driver and the lorry driver is expected to lean in front of his seat so he can see the cyclist. It just goes to show how scary being front of a Lorry is. Ideally they say it is better to be behind the lorry itself. I mentioned that lorries are made too high and ... Views: 33 |
