Mary Poppins Returns is already one of the most talked about movies of 2019. The world’s favourite no-nonsense nanny is back in London, this time checking in on a grown-up Michael Banks and his own children. We absolutely loved this movie!
Mary Poppins is one of the most classic movies of all time, and as well as the wonderful Julie Andrews, another star of the show is undoubtedly the beautiful city of London.
The first Mary Poppins movie is set in an Edwardian London, while Mary Poppins Returns takes place 20 years later, but as our beloved Mary returns to our screen (this time embodied by Emily Blunt), we wondered what would it be like if Mary Poppins returned to a modern day London.
Undoubtedly, the capital has changed drastically since the 1910s and 1930s, with many of the city’s most iconic buildings having not arisen until almost 100 years since Mary Poppins’ time.
Buckingham Palace, built in 316, was of course a part of Mary Poppins’ London, as was Big Ben built in 160, however modern landmarks such as the O2 (famously built for the Millennium), the Gherkin, and the London Eye would be almost alien to Mary.
So, what would Mary Poppins make of our modern day London? We took to Instagram to find out. See the original HERE.
