London 1904 is a part of the London Film Festival 2008.

It's a film that's been hidden from view for more than a century and which is being shown today (Friday) in London as part of the London Film Festival.

The film from 1904 shows people going about their every-day lives over a century ago. It was discovered by historian Professor Ian Christie, while doing a routine search in the Australian National Film Archive.

The twelve-minute silent documentary, called Living London, was made by American film pioneer Charles Urban.

It shows famous landmarks like Trafalgar Square and Buckingham Palace surrounded by horse-drawn carts and buses and scenes of people going about their lives: children playing in a park, fish traders at Billingsgate market and shoe-shiners in the West End.
