[@jo71992]

ah love this! My sister and brother were born here in '55 and '56 and this is the first walking tour vid I've seen. There's some major irony in what I've learned from this video regarding King Charles I. Our 8x great uncle was Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Axtell who was commander of the guards at the King's trial. He himself would be charged with treason and be also hanged drawn and quartered at Tyburn with his head place on a spike at Westminster Hall. Just literally found this out 2 weeks back! Thank you for this!

Harrow is such a historic place that to do it justice you would have had to of made a 3-hour documentary. This was a good taster of what's on offer and will hopefully get people to visit. I used to do a paper round the whole length of your walk. It's always nice to see the place again.

[@josiephillis]

My friend lives here and I absolutely love it! Makes me feel like both a whimsical fairy and a road man all at the same time; the barbers in the station is truly London best kept secret, I often debate taking the 45 min train just to smell the same air that the horrowians smell. They are just so lost in time they all feel like they are living the same life ❤😂🎉 thank you for this free tours by foot - London, you have made my year xx

[@carlgrove8793]

I was born on Harrow Hill (the opposite end to the school) and lived there until I was 14, so your video brings back a lot of memories. There are a few new flats but otherwise it remains much the same as it was in the 50s and early 60s. Not sure how I relate to "ordinary people," but I do my best.

[@brianparker663]

[@davidtaylor5034]

Sinead, I spent an afternoon wandering around Harrow-on-the-Hill and St. Mary's Church, when I last visited London in 2018. I also felt like I'd stepped back in time - loved Harrow-on-the-Hill. When I heard about the plaque, commemorating the spot where King Charles I stopped to water his horse and take a look at London, I wanted to find it. You also mentioned looking for the plaque in the video, but it's not easy to find. It took me several (enjoyable) hours to find it. It's a small plaque on the wall of one of the Harrow School buildings, on the left side of Grove Hill, just past the spot where it meets Peterborough Rd. You actually caught it from a distance on film from 14m33s to 14m39s in the video. It's beside the car parked on the left, looking up Grove Hill from where you were standing on Peterborough Rd.

[@jschreiber6461]

Great tour! The path you mentioned in the video is semi-private, you can go down it but its a footpath only. I tried it, and you didn’t miss much. The school tour is much more interesting, as are the two cosy little family run cafés I dropped into (Battell’s? & The Doll’s House). St Mary’s Church was interesting, worth filming, esp the spooky graveyard that has Lord Byron’s grave behind iron bars and a rather Sci-Fi looking tomb dating back to the 1700’s, looks near new and something out of a Star Trek Movie! Also found you can catch the train from Harrow-On-The-Hill Station to Hogwarts by travelling to Kings Cross Station, changing on platform. 13&3/4!🪄🧙

Harrow on the Hill has most of its buildings hidden underneath ground level. Some sort of mud flood has taken place, hence why the windows are virtually on the pavement. So some type of catastrophe has happened in our history after these buildings were built that hasn't been recorded in Public History

Yes there was a window tax in 1696. There was also a Hearth tax in 1662. In 1770 there were over 2,000 workhouses in the UK. There were about 80 in London alone.
