Twelve of 'em to be exact, even though one of them isn't of a street at all, but of a ship pulling out of a dock. Still, the overall effect is to show London as a crowded, busy city, full of street traffic, both people afoot and various horse-drawn vehicles. The latter carry advertisements for brands, many of which arre still known: Nestle's and LiptonAmong the earliest actualities filmed by the Lumieres were single street scenes, some well-known street in a major city and they quickly fell into a pattern, ending with a public transportation vehicle pulling into the center of the frame to end the film; even the one showing Tokyo ended with a rickshaw pulling up. This assortment is a bit different, suggesting that the whole is more than the sum of its parts. It's not a startling insight of the makers of this film. Brief, single-shot actualities were already on their way out and travelogues would become quite elaborate with a few years. Even so, it's pleasant and early in the process.
