Summary: Take a pass on this one
Comment: The 22 Super Cities travel videos, of which this is one, all appear to follow the same general format-30 minutes of low-level aerial views alternating with ground-level shots of various sights and local people, all to convey a sense of the ambience of the city. That approach works well where, as with Vienna and St. Petersburg, the city offers a finite number of attractions, many of which are outdoors.

It does not, however, work with London. There is simply so much to do and see there that it cannot be covered quickly. Experienced travelers know this, and will limit themselves to a few attractions on each visit.

If possible, try to find a video or a book that focuses on the particular aspects of the city that interest you. For those interested in walking tours, "LononWalks" (out-of-print but available from used book dealers) is a good choice.
