Review of The London Nobody Knows

I was 7 when this film was made and grew up in East London with working class immigrant parents.

I found the film rather saddening, realising that this was the world that my parents had to deal with rather than that of my childish and nostalgic memory.

Very little to save you if you got 'down on your luck' like the people in the Salvation Army hostel.

This and many, many more glimpses of the real London are an excellent contrast to the cheery optimistic Look At Life type films of the period.
