Great Qs and As.👍 (On the 'what building would you bring back?' question, anything better than the Crystal Palace? And as category, old stadiums would be good group of large structures that would be interesting had they not been demolished: the original Wembley, the old West Ham stadium at Custom House, Clapton Stadium, White City stadium, The London Arena, Richmond Icerink.... Another good group of buildings that would be cool to see still standing are the giant riverside power stations once at Beckton, Blackwall, West Ham, Kingston, Fulham and Deptford.)

Hi John. Big fan of the channel! You mentioned (10mins) you made a video about how even though all architects profess their buildings are unique, yet (I assume, their uniiquness, they no longer stand out!)... Can you pls send me a link to the video? Tks.

When I was a cycle courier back in the early 90’s and always looked at the map on the wall of my firm, there was always something that fascinated me. You have shooters hill between Eltham and Woolwich and the complete opposite of the map you have Shoot up hill just before you get to Cricklewood. Both on the Watling St.

The question about what time in history would you like to go back to had you a time machine, makes the think that one must remember that we would probably hate any of those times as we are used to a very high quality of life. Cities were dirty and dangerous, social inequalities were tremendous, normal people had access to very little and life was work and work and work. Poverty was prevalent and respect for people of lower stations in life non-existent. We never had it this good.

Kirkdale in Sydenham is home to one of the oldest buildings in Sydenham and was an original parish road between Forest Hill and Sydenham. In recent years there has been an attempt to rebrand it as Kirkdale Village, I used to run the Kirkdale TV channel when I lived in Sydenham.

Being somewhat older than yourself, I, too, have experienced injuries over the years to knees, ankles, and feet. Other areas, of course, as well, but those generally do not alter a walking routine. And being retired, any flare up of lower extremity portions therefore is quite a blow to my daily routine. I say this as a prologue to wishing you a speedy recovery from a commiserating soul.

Question: Do you think there is any chance I could raise a family on the east end and not end up working for the mob? My 14th great grandmother is Lacy Lucy Neville Somerset, She is buried at St. Lukes at Hackney Wick. Her Husband was Lord Barron John Lattimer, The adopted child of Catherine Parr, The last wife of Henry the 8th. My family had 9 generations in London, And 4 in St. Albans. Thats longer than the United States has existed. Given the United States Federal Reserve is over 100% debt to GDP, The working class will never survive, And there is no chance of raising an honest working class family in America ever again. By 2050 China will take the role of global hegemony, And the torch of control of global production will shift to the east. It seems more culturally authentic for me to have a family in England than anywhere else, Or I need to have a family that exists basically offshore, Outside central governments, But peaceful and neutral to all governments. I find America is in a pickle that there is no getting out of. I know the character Brick Top in the movie snatch is from the east end. Kind of reminds me of New Jersey mobsters in New York who work for the real crime families in Manhattan.

@@JohnRogersWalks I highly recommend a few books, The house of Rothschild by Niall Ferguson, A two part series. A great walk. Video would be to visit Waddeston Manor, To see the Rothschild bequeath. The next would be The Bitcoin standard by Saifdean Ammous. This book goes over the monetary philosophy behind bitcoin and how it is changing global financial markets from an academic perspective. Also the Samson Option by Seymour Hersch. It discusses the military relationship between the United States and Israel. Very insightful to the nuclear security of both countries.
