Donald Taylor Presents a Strand Film Production, “The Big City London BW 1950s”, “Direction: Ralph Bond”, “The producers wish to thank the London Passenger Transport Board and the management of Grosvenor House for their help in the making of this film”, 1940

“Experience the pageant of work-a-day urban life in the big smoke as Londoners explain their reliance on the buses, trains and trams of the London Transport System. Factory workers and dockers feature as a stevedore is interviewed outside his home with his wife. In the financial area of London, bank employees inspect pound notes. Chorus girls rehearse a tap dance routine in a club. Housewives come up to town for shopping. Office workers go about their business, students arrive at the British Museum – and all rely on public transport.”
