@@DonBean-ej4ou Eh? How is the BBC "Communist" when the director is the son of a wealthy banker, ex Chief Executive of the Royal Opera House and a Lord and when the BBC airs many shows such as The Apprentice, Dragon's Den, British historical dramas, various quaint old British antiques shows, Match of the Day, American Football... You people are so deranged by overly right-wing politicians. Yea I find a lot of trash on the BBC, but that's just TV in general now because companies like Netflix and so on have taken over the market. If you don't want to pay the licence then just use a computer hooked to a large monitor and you can find FAR more good shows online than you can with a tv. Most tv channels now just stream their content via the internet anyway and often tv shows are rather poor quality as a result of low bandwidth. There's literally no reason to even own a tv anymore and in any case they don't even police it anymore really. I know tons of people with tvs who don't pay the BBC licence anymore and nothing has happened.

@@JeffDeWitt That's not what communism is. Communism is the political/economic theory of the populace owning property and the means of production. There has never been a Communist nation, only nations that have tried to attain it through Marxist-Leninist Socialism and/or State Capitalism (USSR, for example).

Tremendous. I worked for 10 years in the building across the road from Berry Bros & Rudd, you picked a great day for the video, brings back a lot of fond memories. Couple of things in that area if you ever choose to revisit; 78 St James's St, the old head of the conservative party (unbelievable interiors, the dome in the centre is spectacular), one street up, the final place Chopin stayed before his last public appearance; he was employed by the Rothschild's as their Paris-based paino entertainer in their upscale club (I forget the name, it was near the Champs Elysees) and further down on that street to this day is the headquarters of the Rothschild family office. Finally, Chequers pub, mason's yard.....well, I'm sure you know the connection and for anyone that doesn't, Sam Williamson covers it in his wanders round St James's. Thanks Julian, that was great!.

The reference is quite apt considering a monologue Robert Newman once gave about central London - I thought of it as soon as I started this video, as I used to be a typist in St James. He said words to the effect of him once having an epiphany while walking through the hardened heart of London; he looked down at a patch of bare earth that had become exposed beneath years of layered concrete as the area had been dug up for some reason...he found the sight of this 'live patch' of earth thought provoking, realising that London could have been anything it wanted to be other than this one fixed idea that had been cast in stone for centuries. That's how I felt about St James - history has been preserved which is interesting but at the same time there's this oppressive unwritten psychological contract that nothing is allowed to change.

So many shops that have existed in the 1800s no longer exist. There was an upholsterer and cabinetmaker at 92 Jermyn street. His name was Richard Tait. He had royal patronage. My 3rd great grandfather worked for him. Floris is one of the shops of that era that has survived to this day. Alot of the 4 storey Georgian houses built in the 1700s have been demolished. Unfortunately we cannot go back in time but we can admire and learn from the past.

[@roeng1368]

Same thing happened in dublin, a lot of the old Georgian houses, were allowed to fall into ruin and were pulled down, to be replaced with horrific steel and glass eyesores.

[@mscott3918]

The oldest in London still exists. Ede and Ravenscroft made the Coronation robes for William III and Mary II in 1689 and are still robe makers to the peerage and lawyers. They are also general tailors making very good every day clothes. Also Twinings tea shop is still around, which opened in, I think, 1706.

Back in the late 80s there used to be a restaurant at 57 Jermyn Street called - imaginatively - 'The 57'. When I was a pianist doing those sorts of gigs I had a stint at The 57 and it didn't matter so much what I played, as long as I played extremely quietly. Most boring three hours of my life. Definitely not boring was on the way to this gig one night I was on the Piccadilly Line, passing through Kings X on the night of the fire. There was smoke in the tunnel and a lot of stopping and starting but we got through. It wasn't until I was at the gig that I found out what had happened....
