I sometimes wonder if city life used to be more bustling, or if photographers just avoided taking pictures of places without many people.
The past feels so alive!

Most of the popular London markets are very alive these days. You can barely move in them some days. So I think it is the latter.

I love these old pictures of London. You can feel the life.
At the time London was the largest city in the world at the centre of the large emprie of all time.
No wonder Dracula was making a beeline for it.

Great picture! Those crowded streets were no doubt a pickpockets dream.

Most of the pictures are even older than that.
