Film of London in 1903

This video of just over four minutes shows London in 1903, shooting about 10 or 20 seconds at successive famous intersections with famous buildings as backdrop. Some at times of heavy traffic, some at times of light. Not sure I saw any cars until I definitely saw one almost four minutes in. That contrasts with lots of cars on the streets of San Francisco in a earlier video post - challenged (correctly, I think) as to its supposed 1905 date - because a 1906 clip showed far fewer cars one year later (to be sure, after the earthquake).

Apparently was shot by Thomas Edison. Anyhow, enjoy!
