You needn’t go back all the back to 90’s. It was a paradise even until end of 2008. I recall waking up in the morning, my mother always cooked Tesco fish fingers & fries. We went out & just walking the streets or taking a ride on the bus was a pleasant experience because the atmosphere was stress-free. During weekends we walked a lot to town centre & bought lots of delicious cheap snacks from Poundland’s. Went to parks & football was so fun. Everywhere in London was wonderful then. It was the best city in the world. Now even my mum turned to a psychopath.

People like you just like to moan about every little thing, the smart phone is one of the best technological invention that has graced the earth, it makes our lives so much easier. The transformative power of smartphones comes from their size and connectivity. Size makes them the first truly personal computers. The phone takes the processing power of yesterday's supercomputers--even the most basic model has access to more number-crunching capacity than NASA had when it put men on the Moon in 1969. You can use your mobile for work, music, movies and even video calling family members who live on the other side of the earth, but people like you just want to moan moan complain cry and moan.

The 90s was London's last hurrah. It was still romantic and local. Before we gave up on optimism, colour, and truly decided to just copy-paste our American friends. When we could express what we liked and didn't seek a reason to hate one another.

Because what is there to look forward to in the UK nowadays? Its a bloody cesspit since 97.

Isn't it amazing how people reacted to the camera. Everyone waving or pulling a face. That's because it was a novelty to be filmed these days people don't vat an eyelid as we are all used to being under surveillance or filmed.

Life was quality in the 90s Today life has been affected by mobile phone. We do not look around. Just at the screen and we feel it is important to share everything. People interacted in 90s. I will always cherish these moments and not ones today that much.

True well said social media has caused so much hatred and divisions in the UK and nothing will change.

O.56 - I used to buy trainers at that Olympus, the 'famous' Olympus 301.

I miss the days before the zombie apocalypse struck

The telling and unsettling sign you know the internet has creeped in and taken over your life, when you can look back at a time from your past, and think everybody is weird as they havent gotten phones. All at the same time as viewing it on your phone.

Oxford Street in the 90's....I remember all the fake perfume and Ralph Lauren shirt guys. You'd see them running like the wind with their bread crates full of pony gear...

This was 10 months before I was born woah.

90s was the last great decade. I may have only been 11 when the decade ended but I remember playing outside all day and it just felt so authentic and the community was United. The neighbourhood was so lively, no-one worried about letting their kids play outside & there were no smart phones to scare monger the masses like today. I go back to my old stomping ground once in a while and no-one is playing football or running around like we used to. Remember 20-30 people would come out to play football so we had to make teams. Nowadays, can you even get 3 people outside.

It's weird to think that someone in that video is probably not alive anymore, yet we were all just watching them walk past the camera alive and just living their life, who knows maybe they died the very next day.. no one knows :/

I wonder if anyone in this footage ever happens across it on here now and by sheer coincidence recognises themself, is highly unlikely of course. As you say its interesting to wonder what happens to the people in this footage, the kid walking with his friend for example who makes the goofy expressions at the camera, he'd be a full grown man roughly in his 30s now and could had grown up to be a plumber, a builder, a respected doctor, a career criminal, a drug addict, could be physically disabled or could had died in a random car crash 10 years after these shots were taken. So many possibilities that is fascinating to speculate in this sort of thing. Or maybe I'm just getting weirder with the lockdown isolation.

I remember these days so well, it's so funny to see people not glued to their phone screens like nowadays, smart phones were really expensive in the 90's so almost nobody had one.

I have a theory that 1995/96 was the peak of civilisation, at least in the western world, the best time to be alive.

All those Routemaster buses, proper London. Lot of private cars around then, no Congestion Charge, cycle lanes or ULEZ, and all moving okay.
