The London nobody knows (1969) dir. Norman Cohen

A documentary which was presented by James Mason, who wanders through parts of London in a rather depressing way very often, but with some fascinating looks at a lost city... layers of which are still visible in certain places. It is based on a book which was written by Geoffrey Fletcher, who also wrote the script for this film. It's well worth watching. You can watch on Talking Pictures TV Encore site.
