Description: Sid finds a tube station shut (possibly St Paul's underground station) and is given a lift by a friendly motorist, Dave, to Liverpool Street tube station (the entrance on Liverpool Street itself). The next shots are filmed around the Bank of England, with Guardsmen marching east along Poultry and on to Threadneedle Street as well as views of Mansion House, the Royal Exchange, and Francis Chantrey's sculpture of the Duke of Wellington. The film then moves on to Trafalgar Square with shots of Nelson's Column, the fountains, the National Gallery and a man selling pigeon feed. Next, it's Piccadilly Circus with shots of the advertising lights (for Coca Cola, Guinness, Double Diamond, Schweppes and Bovril) and the Shaftesbury Memorial with Alfred Gilbert's statue of Anteros (popularly known as Eros). The film concludes with views around the Mall, including shots of William McMillan's sculpture of King George VI on Carlton House Terrace, Saint James's Park and Buckingham Palace.
