Looks like a Datsun Cherry/100A first car oncoming. Second car driving away, small and narrow, appears to be an Invacar (which I recalled via HubNut on Youtube).

I was wondering what that was. I had no clue and being narrower than a Mini that was the reason I posted the pic. Good ID!
That Jag is the Mk II not the 240/340 - the latter had thinner bumpers than the crash barrier on this original one @andys120 - yes that the Hillman Imp heading towards bridge and approaching is a Hillman Minx / Hunter of the Arrow family - and just behind that in the shadows below the bridge is an ADO 16 - probably an early one I think The Routemaster bus is a standard size one - they also made a longer wheelbase version with a little extra window behind the fourth windows on each deck - that additional row of seats would give an extra 8 seats
Elsewhere along your London suburban sojourn the Forest Hill Mini (GOB plate) was registered in Birmingham in 1962 and is a Morris Mini Minor And the Dulwich Common one - just down the road from Forest Hill - has a grey Wolseley 1500 in the nearside lane
Well spotted on the Invacar - here's a slightly earlier version in Manchester - though most including this one were registered in Surrey as that was where the Dept of Health registered them in fleets to give to disabled people

At first glance I thought that might be a Landcrab but then thought it was a Maxi. I am unsure of the differences in the Wolseley version.
Just ahead of it is a HC Vauxhall viva, which represented that model's last stand in the Canadian market, where it was badged as the Firenza. As Wiki states, "The HC was pulled from the Canadian market after two model years amidst consumer anger over corrosion and reliability issues."
I don't know much about this picture. I believe it is somewhere in London obviously, I believe late 1960s, but the large building in the background is a mystery to me. This expands to a massive size.
This is real. Live. Last Sunday was at the Concours de Elegance. Out of a thousand cars I've seen in car shows during the last couple weeks, this is the only 1960 Ford.
Ah, the memories. Had one with the NASCAR options for the weekend. Unbelievably fast with super sensitive steering. Was hard to drive in a straight line, but it could really carve the curves.
The guy in that DB5 looks like he's yawning - London traffic can do that...
The picture with the M-B Fintail is looking at the corner of Trafalgar Square - pulling out next to the red Mail van is a Vanden Plas 3 litre - the posh Austin Westminster clone.
UK had the Chrysler 300 saloon and Estate too - they were quite popular here for a time.
Back with the A-M the estate behind it is a Hillman Super Minx and a bit back there is a Minor convertible ahead of a Land Rover Probably the oldest car in that shot is a Vauxhall Victor - the black early one on the far right above the M-Benz SE

If you pull up pix of the DB5 they all have the faired-in headlights under glass covers. I believe the one in the photo is a DB4. IIRC only the Zagato version of the DB4 had those.

For reasons known only to them, Chrysler sold the Magnum wagon in Euroland with a 300 nose and badging. That color is surely not a factory offering.
I’d bet they don’t even know. That’s one of those dumb decisions that happened at a company sponsored happy hour after too many martinis.
65 or 66 Caddy, I'd have to look to know the difference.
Upper right, to the right of the cool Dodge two tone pickup looks like a 68 intermediate Ford with wood trim. Upper left in front of a Beetle looks like a red Corvette Stingray.

Yes, the Silver Dawn was pretty much export only I think - the Bentley is more likely
The white car following the Invacar is a Vauxhall Victor FC - a new model in 1965 (C registration)

Looks like a Jag Saloon a few cars back in front of an old convertible.

Speaking of 1960 Fords, this period promo film introducing the new is fun.

Is the blue Caddy a 65? Always have trouble with the stacked headlight models.
Love the two tone Ford pickup.

The Cadillac is a '65.
