Transport for LondonFilm fest for transport fans
The series, called 'London Moves Me', includes more than 20 films which provide a whistle-stop tour of transport and movement around the city from 1896 to 2009.
A daily commute is something most Londoners experience, and even the earliest film-makers liked to record our trips across the city.
For example, Victorian ladies negotiating the art of cycling in long skirts in 'Hyde Park Cycling Scene' (1896), while Edwardian Ealing is revealed in 'Panorama of Ealing from a Moving Tram' (1901).
'Tower Bridge Boats on Thames' (1905) shows the river as a place of work rather than pleasure, and 'Scenes at Piccadilly Circus and Hyde Park Corner Underground Stations' (1931) is fascinating amateur footage - possibly shot by a London Underground worker - that captures the beauty of the Tube in the early 1930s.
The journey is brought up-to-date with 'Project One' (2009), following a young skateboarder's journey from the Thames Barrier to the South Bank. Screenings begin at 6.30pm.
