Nice film clip from the summer of 1963 of a bus trip organised by Blackfriars Settlement in Southwark: 'It was the time of their lives for 200 Southwark children... they were going down to Greenwich for a glorious day in the country'. Rather patronising as you might expect - apparently Greenwich Park was 'a wonderful open space such as a good many had never seen before, real grass too'.
If you wondered what a 1960s children's playground looked like, look no more. Also some film of the Cutty Sark (click on image to play).
Can anybody identify the Southwark estate?

That was terrific! And yes, all playgrounds looked like that when I was a lad...
