London Back in the Day

What were things like in London 20, 30, 40 years ago? What things have changed, what have stayed the same? What are some memories of life in the forest city over the years?

I'm just interested to hear any anecdotes about the city's past from anyone who has lived in London over the years, or has heard anything neat from someone.

If you've got any, please post 'em here!
