| Description: | "LUNCH HOUR" London. M/S of face of Big Ben taken through trees. A horse feeds from a nosebag. A sparrow flits about on lily pads on a pond; a man stands watching (looks like Embankment Gardens). People sit at tables outside a cafe, drink tea and eat cake. C/U of sign advertising 'The Tower Cruise' for 2/- return. Girls in summer dresses buy tickets from a man and eat their sandwiches while travelling along the Thames on a boat. L/S of Tower Bridge. Pan across to show two girls sitting on the roof of their office, chatting and eating sausage rolls (?). A man sits on an overgrown bomb site and sketches St Paul's Cathedral. A girl stands outside a telephone box, eating her roll. The phone rings; she goes inside to answer it - it's a call from her boyfriend and she munches her lunch while listening. Workmen sit at the top of some scaffolding on a building and eat their lunch, looking out onto the street below. | |
