London's Christmas past

Christmas shoppers crowd in to buy novelties and decorations at Woolworths, Oxford Street. I was suprised because I never knew there used to be a Woolworths in Oxford Street. 14th december 1937.

Wonderful pictures! In the 2nd picture you'd think that Charles Dickens was about to stop by.

Jean Davis
Such fun photos! My American daughter e-mailed them to me on my 68th birthday on December 16th...One of them was taken on my 6th birthday..I was born in Peckham, London.

Great pictures of a bygone age. Picture 7; 16th December, I wouldn't call last minute Christmas shopping ?.Picture 12; I presume was a morale boosting exercise being 3 months to Christmas Eve.Picture 10; I remember the power cuts of the mid-seventies.

I really enjoyed these photographs of previous celebrations of Christmas in times that were tougher than we have today. Thank you for putting them in your website.
