  • There's a banner on the front of each coach reading "Cunard Touring Parties".

    At 01:36 the coaches pass the Tower of London.

    At 01:45 they pass St Paul's Cathedral, and we see the statue of Queen Anne in front of it.

    Of the vehicles seen, two of them are Daimler coaches, one is a Karrier and another is a Dennis.
