Wow, sends a shiver down the spine.
There have been several Edwardian film finds this past decade, the best being several hours of footage - not just confined to London - found under someone's stairs (or "closet" as I think you call it).

I'm always fascinated by them. History comes alive when you can see it unfolding, as opposed to turning a page.

Ps did you note the intensity of traffic at this period? Hard to believe there was motor-congestion 2 years after the death of Victoria, eh?

I liked the demonstrators, pity their signs weren't legible. Marching for (or against) one of the parliamentarians I would assume.
