NOW A SHiT WHOLE FILL OF ISLAMIC JIHADIST

This is not the original place of The Globe. The original was no the other side of The street, a few meters away. There s a sign on The wall there.

Well done. Thank you.

Im a descendant of a Norman Knight that rode with William named Ro-Bynes. Strange for a mostly Native American like me but respect to the Normans and their (our) warrior spirit.

Alex, I've greatly enjoyed this video production. Thank you. It brought back for me, fond memories of being an Abbey chorister in the late 50s/early 60s. Back then, on our Saturday afternoons escapes from our Dean's Yard boarding school, we boys would have free rein to wander the sites of Westminster and the City, generally in small 2/3 boy groups of preteen classmates. So, All Hallows, St Bride's, Chapel of the Savoy, and more mundane sites, such as India Docks, Harrods pet shop floor, and mudlarking under the Albert Bridge, remain in my mind's eye. My bestie and roomie was a Norfolk lad, so your subtle flat Norfolk accent is particularly appropriate. 60+ years later, we still talk over Webex, but his accent has become far posher after his decades as a Cambridge don. My own East African Anglo accent is much tempered too, of course. I'm now forwarding your KZbin link to my grandsons (several also Anglican choristers) in 🇨🇦🇦🇺🇰🇪 and at Barnes (where I look forward to celebrating my first UK Christmas in 25 yrs). Nadolig Llawen 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿, Alex. ❤

Construction around such a historical monument should not have been permitted.

Great update as always keep them coming. All the very best to you.

Your kings and his cronies are all thieves and robbers living in mansions and palaces and working in buildings that don’t belong to them. They’re being sacked and reduced to oblivion because the Divine being is here to take back what the evil demons stole from her using violence!!! Evil is being wiped out completely!!!

"Greetings from sunny London" while pouring cats and dogs 🤣😂😅 Alex, terrific job, mate ! Keep them coming and hope you're making a living our of KZbin, your channel is truly quality.Regards from Utah

This was a superb video ! As a Spaniard loved to see the “Andalusian” featured on the video. I never get tired of visiting London, what a wonderful city is, with its problems, I know, but full of life and culture. Kind regards from Utah

Excellent.

I only got to London once, in my late 20s, en route between other countries, and had such a wonderful time I thought I'd be back as soon as I could, spend a lot more time there and see the places I really wanted, soak in it. Well, that was over 35 years ago and never been able to return! (From Australia.) So videos like yours fill a hole for me, may be the best I get now. Thanks so much for ferreting out these places, they're a lot of fun! Maybe in my next life...

Fascinating 😀...Thank you 👍

Although these sites are within walking distance, you won't see them all in one day even if you know exactly where you're going. I'd say go to the city of London at Tower Hill and walk west, ending up at Clerkenwell. That'll allow you to see a good number of these places. I see them every day. I'm a cycle courier.

Thanks for the video, the City is indeed the quite gem of London. Mentioned a couple of times, Smithfield is well worth a visit before they shut it town and turn it into a tourist trap to rival anything in the West End.

Well done for recognising that St Katherine has multiple docks.

Cheers

a big super carrack. first built as clinker, later rebuilt with mediterranean caravel plankings. Around the same time, everybody else in oceanic Europe were obsessed with building war carracks of unusual sizes, one that consumes about a hundread square kilimeters of forests to build one. And even Mary Rose sunk due to engineering blunders when rebuilding. this disaster did not stop newer war carrack to be built. Later Swedes built Vasa with evenmore big guns, too bad it sank right aftetr it was launched! Eventually after Galleon design came to exists. Carracks were no longer favored by any navy. as galleons were made for firepower from the beginning.

Great documentary! One thing for you to note though, please learn to pronounce the t’s in your words properly

Have you ever been to Miss Miggins Pie Shop?

Thank you for this. Some of this I've seen and I always love watching something that gives me something else to look at thevnext time I'm there!

Greetings from Alabama USA. Thanks!

I just LOVE how the ruins are absorbed into the city!!!

“The most influential capital city in the world.”? Maybe when Victoria was still on the throne.

Thanks for sharing Bloke.

to build those modern big buildings so near to that small ancient tower is a crime how more beautiful the place was in that ancient picture.

very good video, perhaps a little map showing exactly where each site is? If I was doing this walk I could not follow it from this.

So much history lost but so much history saved.

No mention of King Alfred the Great s rebuild of London's defensive wall and repopulation of London . When the nasty Normans arrived London already had a complete wall.

Missed the Charterhouse bud

So much to see from Liverpool Street Station Alex! Great video. Merry Christmas and every success for 2025.😊

Great video, really enjoyed this.

Where I live near Boston lincs we had greyfriars and Blackfriars

Thank you for this virtual tour. I’ve always wanted to visit the UK because I’m such a history buff, but I’m afraid increasing mobility issues would make such a visit very disappointing. But I can still do armchair tourism to my heart’s content without being laid up from pain. You have a new sub 🎉

Yay a new Alex information ear bath, a wash with such cracking historical nuggets and facta 😊😊

The one of the old London Bridge was sold and rebuild im Lake Havasu City, Arizona State, U.S.A

Washington DC would probably be the most influential capital city since it's the capital of the most powerful country in the world.. the very same country which arms your island.

18:30 that armor is gorgeous!

28:30 the second you mentioned London Bridge, I was waiting for the "move to Arizona" reveal! That fact gets my sub and like!

Well done!

I THOUGHT I KNEW LONDON. Thank you.

Yay! Great post. Well done! Taking this with me as a reference on my Christmas visit.

Good documentary, I found the background music distracting it didn't work with this subject.

Very Interesting.

A beautifully made documentary Alex! ( great content, swift narrative and handsome edition!)

Several of these locations either don't show up in Google, or there are multiple places with the same names. How do I locate them?

The Thames was wider but it wasn't as far north as the Mithraeum. Even today you can easily see the sharp decline from Cannon Street looking south towards Upper Thames Street. Perhaps you're thinking of the river Walbrook which did run right next to the Mithraeum on its way to joining the Thames.

'Old London' has really been gutted & sanitised since the 1960's. Back then - especially in the fog - there was a real 'character' in every road & alley you turned down. I remember when the Tower was heavily stained in the black soot of centuries. It used to look & feel absolutely ancient - everywhere.
