"London is a xxxxhole" etc. REALLY ? LONDON IS BEAUTIFUL..I am 65 and lived in Inner South East London until 1983 and Outer London/Kent for the last 36 years and they will have to carry me out and away from my beloved London. All 33 Boroughs have beautiful and fascinating areas depicting 2,000 years of Londinium. Great Tour and I will return to High Street Kensington and walk to the Gardens in Spring/Summer as I missed most of this when I went this year..lol Samuel Johnson was correct when he wrote in 1777..!!!.. "Why, Sir, you find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford."

Hi Joolz, I thought it was a little ironic how often you go on your walks carrying a furled umbrella, and the one time you need it........💧💦☔️

Hopefully you'll make it to London soon. I had the pleasure of taking a walking tour with Julian this October in Hampstead, Belsize park and Primrose Hill. He has a wealth of knowledge and trivia that bring out the history and character of the London neighborhoods. Very enjoyable!

I don’t know how I ended up here but I’m glad I did. My mums grandmother lived in London and worked for the war office back in the day. She used to take my mum to see the Peter Pan statue and tell her all the tales of the area so this was an unexpected pleasure to watch. You sir, have a new sub. Many thanks

Ha! Joolz, you are a sartorial master! The best reason to wear a “real” bow-tie is definitely for that satisfying end-of-the-day tug that allows the two ends to unfurl and hang in rakish languor about your neck. Effortlessly transforming the wearer from Steve Urkel to Idris Elba.

Remember the massive floral tributes outside Kensington Palace for the Princess of Wales. I had never seen anything like that before or since then. Was a beautiful yet heartbreaking scene. Thank you for including a snippet on her. 💙

[@screwtape6954]

I love these guides. Takes me back when I lived in London and would walk for miles on self tours. Amazing city. Such a great storyteller

[@ACoincidentalLife]

The 'Wax Museum' in Colombo is the Royal College of Music, they may object to your dropping of the Royal! I know because my brother used to go there on Saturday mornings and my father would while away the time by walking around Kensington Gardens. Thanks for the long second toe lead, I've been trying to find info about that for some time now and that gives me a direction to look. The chestnut tree is a Sweet Chestnut of the kind we roast and eat. Great proper British banter between you and Simon too!

[@Rick88888888]

Very nice, but you overlooked the "Time Flies" clock tower and drinking fountain.

London has more parks than any other large city, they are one of the City’s great assets. Some of the smaller ones that are called squares are only open to the residents in the adjoining houses/apartments.

My wife and I LOVE your videos. We are Canadian and we will be in London for the first time in March 2020. Your videos have been SO instrumental in planning our vacation! Your out-of-the-way-little-known-museums-and-churches videos really helped us to plan a very different trip than the average vacationers. We will be staying in an apartment near Marble Arch, so seeing this video about Kensington Gardens was a lot of fun, just knowing it's so close to where we will be staying. Keep on doing your videos, they are so informative and entertaining!

Did you come. The pandemic started just then? Hope you enjoyed it

Answer to your Hitchcock question: the climax of the film "The Man Who Knew Too Much" with Jimmy Stewart and Doris Day was indeed filmed at the Royal Albert Hall. Great flick!

[@paullewis2413]

Yes, I love standing in the same entrance to the auditorium that Doris used all those years ago. I was only 3 when the movie was made (I think it was 1956) but have seen it on t.v. a couple of times.

[@joansmith3296]

The Hitchcock film was The Man who Knew Too much. James Stewart and Doris Day. Pretty good film. It was a remake of a previous Hitchcock film. Cool video Thanks Joolz!

I Truly love London and I must say I love watching your guides. May I say the film studios you talk about are Shepperton an the ringneck parakeets date back to the 1800's as they escaped from London Zoo and later some escaped from Shepperton film studios.

[@MrFroglips69]

Another enjoyable video. It's a drag though that all of the children that inspired Peter Pan died so tragically. Reminds me of many of the actors who started in the Little Rascal film aka Our Gang Comedy's. Many of them died tragically as well. Alfalfa was stabbed to dead.

Green parakeets are all over London but I have never seen anything like the thousands of them that settle in the trees on the west side of Wormwood Scrubs at dusk. The African Queen was filmed at Ealing Studios just a few miles away so it's their probable origin.

A friend and I once went through the ice of the Round Pond on a park bench. I also saw what I assume was a ghost around the (what is now called the Princess Diana Memorial playground) area near the Cafe in the early hours of the morning. We got locked in and I ended up in St James Park as far as I now. Ended up being giving a ride home by a friendly bobby who dropped me off at the corner so my mum wouldn't get angry at me :)

[@alanlawrence2954]

I used to work in South Kensington as a Graphic designer in the 1970s. I haunted the Victoria and Albert museum, and the equally enchanted Kensington gardens. I was not aware that the Peter pan sculpture did not have official permission to be sighted in the park, although you'd have to be a monumental hater of fine art, and a prize plonker to object to it. I like the 1970s way you present your walks, all laid back, drinking beer and sporting Sergeant Peppers flower power striped blazers, etc. You even use schoolboy lingo... 'Spiffing' was used in vintage schoolboy/schoolgirl annuals a lot. Rugger shirts and balls for brave boys, Hockey sticks gymslips or bloomers for pink cheeked girls.
