I don't know if it's weird but living in Kenya, right at the equator, I've seen enough sunny days to last a lifetime so I really love rainy dull days. This kind of video, in this beautiful city, fills me with deep unexplainable joy.

[@shirleyellis9708]

I loved to hear the London bells.🙂

[@goudagirl6095]

London is magical. So much history. ❤❤❤

[@Shungabali]

I miss London, but the London I know it`s crowded and lively and awesome in every sense..the London I see here looks sad and empty almost devoid of life and emotion, let`s pray things would go back to normal soon because we all want that other London back and I can`t wait to be there again.

[@heatheredwards7158]

Those church bells were absolutely lovely!

[@peckinpahlady]

Thank you for showing an area of the City that is historically very important, interesting, beautiful and not yet dominated by too many souless glass and steel office blocks. First class video.

[@sanpostroll2107]

Thank you peckinpahlady.

17:35 I used to eat my lunch here. I was sitting there while the statue of Hodge was installed. 32:14 St. Martins within Ludgate was the church where the parents of William Penn, who founded Pellsylvania, were married

Another excellent walk Sampo. Once again showing the hidden courts and alleys. Keeping me sane in this mad world. 👍

Thank you guys! I am so happy to hear that my videos are helping in a small way during this pandemic. I hope you get to travel back to London soon.

[@py1ia]

There are many people like me... I feel kinda sad when I see these beautiful places again but this time not personally...

[@pameladawson4081]

I thoroughly enjoy your videos! There are so many hidden gems to see, buildings, courtyards, all the ornate carvings on doors, etc. It is sometimes overwhelming to me. In Southern California, there seems to be nothing like that. In North Carolina, there is some, but the city of Charlotte tends to tear those buildings down and replace with modern. There are people who fight against this. Thank you so much. Be safe...

[@albertodillon]

I like the British buildings and the typical windows too

[@ksghai9647]

It's nice watching your videos of walking in London streets and this way you show what we never see in our life. Hats off to you.

[@sanpostroll2107]

Hello KS GHAI, thank you for joining on this walk! Southall has been on my list, I will visit when this lockdown is lifted.

[@kelvinlukeleong7729]

thank you for sharing, especially in this time of lockdowns and restrictions/ hassle/ high cost to travel. Very clear map shown in front and steady holding of the recording device, and devoid of any noisy narration!

[@selinaCC1]

You're just outdoing yourself everytime Sanpo 👏👏👏👏 what a lovely fun, educational walk, I just went and read about Hodge The Cat after you featured that beautiful bronze in this stroll, you are absolutely my fave walker 🚶‍♀️ thank you again for all your strolls 💕💕💕

Nice walk Sanpo. Keep safe out there 👍

[@sanpostroll2107]

Thanks 👍

[@catsinhouse]

Very, very well done. The captioning, little snippets of explanations, and all - wonderful. I still have to chuckle at the "hill" in Ludgate Hill. "Incline" seems more appropriate compared to some of the hills I encounter every day where I live. I remember walking to St. Paul's and wondering where the hill was exactly. ("Am I going in the wrong direction?") Again - lovely footage. Wish I could go back.

[@thewalkinggirl3712]

This video has become one of my favorites. I love alleys and secret streets :-) Please, stay safe!!

[@jeremytravis360]

When you live in London you sometimes neglect exploring some areas and Fleet St is one of them. We travel down them on busses and see all Newspaper names but miss some. Although my family come from Liverpool, I didn't know that the Liverpool Echo had an Office in Fleet Street. Samuel Johnson was right when he made his famous quote. I didn't know about The St Brides Institute and it was about printing. Thank you for a lovely walk Sanpo and the history lesson.

[@Shungabali]

I think the famous quote by Samuel Johnson is "if you`re tired of London you`re tired of life" and I couldn`t agree more

[@jeremytravis360]

@@Shungabali Totally. Wise words.

[@sanpostroll2107]

True, we pass through Fleet street by bus in a few minuets but there are many stories behind the buildings!

Hi, just wanted to say your videos are great. I tend to do two to three 3 to 4hr walks a week through London and there's plenty I've missed or places I haven't been to yet, so thanks for the ideas! Also really like all the little notes you had, as I tend to forget half of what I've seen! I did most of this route this morning so next time I do it, I now have extra places to look at so again, thank you.

[@sanpostroll2107]

You are most welcome Daniel. I am so glad you enjoyed the videos and the notes. Happy walking.

[@janeland9699]

Another extremely enjoyable stroll Sanpo, love the old buildings, how beautiful they look. It had to rain again of course! Tuesday here where I live was the best weather we’d had for a good while, sun shone all day and it was the first time I had felt warm since December 24th when our heating broke down. I always look forward to your videos so much, they are so interesting and informative, just the kind of “medicine” I need during these very challenging times. Thank you so very much!!

[@sanpostroll2107]

Hi Jane, I hope your heating has been repaired and you are warm again. It's been wet and cold hear most days. I am pleased my videos provide some relief. Enjoy 😊

Your videos are among the best of their kind. I open a separate window with a map to follow along as "we" walk. I like that you show a lot of the street names and plaques as we go. We visit London at least once a year if not twice (pre covid) and yet there is so much more to see. Thanks for this video.

From here in the Andes mountains it looked wonderful. As soon as it came into view I recognized Dr.Samuel Johnson's house from having read an illustrated book 45 years ago written by Samuel Pepys. I'm so proud of myself. Too bad about that old building that had to be rebuilt and replaced by some new fangled thing in the 1600's eh? Seriously though, this walk brought up emotions that were not on the front burner. Thank you thank you. p.s. Was that an early Sunday morning stroll?

St. Paul Cathedra. Probably this name remainds to the era when every king of Europe manteined a church in Rome. The king of England manteined that of St. Paul Outside the Walls in Rome. An ancient romanic basilica.
