The latest in our series of films from the BFI National Archive, Colour on the Thames (1935), provides a splendid window into life on the River Thames.
The journey begins up river and meanders down through a bustling Pool of London (between old London Bridge and the Tower Bridge) and on to the then hard working Docklands replete with an army of Thames Barges ferrying between the liners and cargo vessels.
