Fantastic, almost unreal. As we all know, the past was in black and white. So the rare photograph or film in colour looks like a fantasy world, like a carefully constructed film set.
When the director shouts "Cut!" all the extras go home and the buses go back into the museum.
In fact makers of period dramas could learn something by watching that bit of film.
They need to rough up the vehicles a bit to make them look dirtier and shabbier, and also to drive more slowly. Pedestrians need to take less heed of the traffic.
Notice that man on London Bridge who strolled out in front of the bus they were filming from? No modern actor would naturally do that, they are too conditioned by modern living.
