One thing that always strikes me about old color shots of London is how filthy the buildings are. Tower Bridge and Saint Paul's are dirty grey and The House of Commons is a muddy brown.
That's how I always remember them though, they don't look quite real to me now they've all been cleaned up. They're all wrong like that.
