Dear Old London is a 1933 Australian short film directed by Claude Flemming for Efftee Studios. It is a travelogue of London.

The 34 minute film features scenes of London emerging from the Great Depression, such as tourist monuments, parklands and shopping attractions.[1] Some panoramas of London were filmed from the roof garden of Australia House.[2]

The director Claude Flemming was a veteran stage actor and occasional film director. He returned to Australia Efftee’s production team in late October 1933, after many years working in the United States and England.[1]

The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia has an ongoing project to preserve Efftee Film Productions films of the early 1930s.[1]
