Living London is a 1904 English documentary film of life in London. It was produced by Charles Urban.
The film was released in Australia in 1906 and was a sensation, being seen by over 500,000 people.[1] It was distributed by J and N Tait, and their success with the movie encouraged them to make The Story of the Kelly Gang.[2][3]
The film was thought to have been lost, but ten minutes of footage was discovered in the Corrick Collection in Australia's National Film and Sound Archive in 2007 and restored.[1][4] The website charlesurban.com, however, claims that the footage is actually from Urban's 1906 documentary The Streets of London.[5]
New Zealand writer Ngaio Marsh created a mythic picture in her fiction of England, which she romanticized from seeing Living London.[6]
