[@LaurenWade]

Really hope you enjoyed this first London walk! Let me know if there's anywhere specifically in London you'd like me to visit next, and what info/tips you'd like in the videos! Hope to make this into a proper series soon, so would love your feedback!

[@alnsubuga]

Reads and Daydreams Hampstead, Belsize Park, Primrose Hill are all very quaint. And there's the infamous crepe kiosk near Hampstead tube. I've heard talk of lavender fields near South Norwood, but I don't know exactly where. Areas that showcase the diversity in London. The green spaces and lidos in south-east London. A historical walk through the maze of tiny streets in the City. I could go on! To be honest I'll be happy to watch whatever you post.

[@Tabata774]

I love London. So any London walk is OK for me . Thanks Lauren and Jen for giving me the opportunity to see all these beautiful things. 💝

[@MatthewSciarappa]

This was absolutely lovely. I don't think I've enjoyed a work break so much before. It was so relaxing to watching this in the middle of a hectic day.

[@xgrayvision]

[clicks like button continuously] Yes. More of this, please. You and Jen make a great team.

[@inessamaria2428]

I couldn´t agree more.

[@RoisinsReading]

One of my favourite walks is from New Cross to Crystal Palace via Dulwich village. I'm doing my MA at Goldsmiths and live in Palace so it's a walk I do on a nice day if i have time and there are a lot of green spaces, pretty houses and cute shops, and if you've never seen the Crystal Palace dinosaur's they are definitely worth a visit!

[@alnsubuga]

The Speak Easy Girl Another vote for SE London!

[@alnsubuga]

I grew up near Regent's Park so know that section of the canal well. So lovely! The downside to being a Londoner is I don't spend enough time out enjoying the city. I always put it off as everything's on my doorstep. This was a good reminder to get off my proverbial and revisit some of my old stomping grounds. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

[@catherinetaylor421]

Not only is this series brilliant, you have presented it with style and at a pace that I appreciate! Bookshops, gardens, good food, fascinating nooks and crannies -- all necessaries. I would love to see a walk that takes in the Bloomsbury area with its squares and gardens, university life, literary highlights, Persephone Books (of course), and then moves south through Lincoln's Inn Fields, ending at Gough square -- or maybe all the way down to the Thames by way of Temple Church. Also, any walk through Hampstead and/or Highgate would be marvelous. You and Jen make excellent walking partners!

[@LaurenWade]

Bloomsbury is a lovely idea! I'll add it to the list :) So glad you enjoyed the video! xx

[@zuzqaa]

oh please, do more of these walks! This was really lovely and London is one of the most beautiful cities ever. and the houses...... yes please. :D

[@DancethedrizzleBlogspot]

I meant to go on this walk when I was in London and never got around to it. Thank you so much for taking us along :) I'll come back to this video whenever I feel like I need to go back to my heart's home. Ah, Regent's Park...

[@elenasanchez9282]

Thanks so much! Such a lovely video. I love London. I've been there three times and I hope to be back soon. My favourite city and to have you two as tour guides is an honour. Love from Southern Spain!

[@JanuarieTimewalker13]

Thank you for giving this walking tour! Loved it!! More garden tours, please! And maybe a Rock n Roll Tour or Literary Tour?

[@ginathomas237]

❤️ this Lauren ... please keep doing this series! My dream is to visit London after I retire in 4.5 years. I'm loving seeing the City through your eyes🤓

[@jng66]

I've only just tuned in to this and cannot wait to see more, more and even more of your walks around London (or anywhere in the UK)!!

[@adramaqueen3]

Thankyou for showing us such a beautiful part of London. The canals and boats have always fascinated me, as a sydneysider (Australia), I'm used to harbour cities with ferries and hilly city streets. I'd love you to do a Thames walk or the Charles Dickens walk through Southwark. Or the Londons Gardens Trust walk. I'd also love to see an Oxford walk & Cambridge. I've always wanted to travel to GB, my ancestry is mostly Scottish & English but I'll have to settle with living vicariously through videos like this one. Sending much love from this Aussie.❤️

[@morningstarlee]

Lauren, I loved this sooo much!! Please do more like this. I've been to London a number of times, and never had done one of the famous canal walks. These days I've got major mobility issues and won't be able to, so this is such a joy to enjoy it vicariously through you!!

[@LaurenAndTheBooks]

I adored this! I can't wait to watch the whole series, and when I saw you turn that way out of King's Cross I was thinking I HOPE THEY ARE GOING TO DISHOOM! xxx

[@scrawlyweaver5057]

oooooh Camden 😍 I miss London so much. I used to love in Bracknell and so visited London all the time. I've been in Wiltshire 2 years and haven't been back in all that time. Was nice to see some familiar sights.

[@SavidgeReads]

Oooh I loved this. Loved it. I've never done that walk and I lived in London for blinking 12 years. I'll have to do it in the future. Really looking forward to more in this series. Hooray.

[@VeganYogaMama]

I love bridges and willow trees. I want Jen Campbell as my tour guide as well! :)

[@jenvcampbell]

being tour guide is my favourite, so I happily accept.

[@ornleifs]

I've taken the boat from Little venice to Camden but never done the walk you did here - love Regent Park and specially the John Nash houses there, so elegant. Never been to Daunt books, that shop looks great and I love that it arranges books by country.

[@thisissoosarah]

Aw loved this, please do more! Love getting to see places you might not come across as a tourist

[@clochettestarz]

This is my favourite London walk as well!! And I'm also guilty of wanting all of these houses on the canal. Thanks for the lovely video :)

[@Loveusa8219]

I loved it,please continue to post videos like this. London is beautiful, can't wait to visit.

[@victoriahoyle-publichistor6986]

Oh this video! It filled me with son much joy, honestly. I'm going down to London later today for a job interview and as a shy northerner I find the idea of London pretty terrifying...but this opened my eyes to the lovely places so close to Kings Cross. It's made me want the job more now!

[@aleksandratrzeciak2037]

this makes me look forward to moving to London so so much, thank you!

[@SonjasMaschensalat]

I am so missing London and the UK where I lived for a year. Thanks for the video :-)

[@EllisFeaster]

LOVE this series!!!! Keep it up. Hope you do more soon. Would love to see Brixton, and maybe walks around the Docklands

[@hiroooni]

This is amazing!!!! London is such a beautiful city!

[@martinachiarini7653]

More and more of these videos please!!!😍i've loved it!!!!

[@josutcliffe3914]

Loved this!! Bittersweet as it made me so homesick for London xx

[@janinevanduijn1225]

Great idea for a series, enjoyed this a lot! I liked how you also included the book shops in there, can't wait for the next one!

[@samtaters6770]

I love this series! Thanks so much for sharing!!!

[@saraamariex]

I did this walk all the time when I was studying in London! But since I lived near Paddington station my favorite walk was through Hyde Park - past the Italian Gardens and Kensington Palace- to the V&A or Natural History Museum, followed by an afternoon snack at a cafe. I also enjoyed the Thames path just to see the sights (The Eye, St. Pauls, Millennium Bridge, Tate Modern, Tower of London etc.). I already know I'm going to love this series and look forward to seeing where you go!

[@LaurenWade]

Books & Company ooh Kensington Gardens etc is a lovely area! There are so many possibilities haha, I just want to film them all now! The Southbank is most certainly high up my list xx

[@fabiolaaa19]

I miss London so much!!! You should take us to Soho! And Piccadilly! Gosh so many different great places in London!

[@emgaillard8143]

And yes, please do more of these !

[@tammynovo5989]

This was wonderful! Thank you and please have more.

[@bookishshenanigans4769]

This is such a lovely video, please do more with Jen! It would be cool to do a Dickensian East London walk, he's so specific about the London geography in his novels.

[@helenasnopek5431]

Love this idea for a series! Looking forward to more videos from this (perhaps give me some ideas for when I finally visit London one day). Definitely a bit of a country mouse myself, but the diversity and liveliness of cities is so fun to experience, plus bookshops! London seems a book lover's DREAM.

[@randallisreading4561]

Fantastic video and I'm already looking forward to more in the series! I live in London but have never walked this far along the canal before! Definitely on my list of things to do this Summer!

[@InkandPaperBlog]

I adored this video! And want to go to all those places and eat all that food!

[@KL.5635]

This video is perfect! I wish I had seen it before I visited London in May... I love London

[@TravelingBibliophile]

Great video. I love London. I am going to be back there this September and will be going to look around at the exterior of the house in Marylebone where my Bompa (grandfather) was born and lived as a young child. I will definitely going to have a poke around Daunt books while I'm in the neighbourhood.

[@emmc9437]

That could have been twice as long! Enjoyed it very much.

[@amyharris2384]

London is truly one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Thanks for sharing!!❤️

[@ericamangin1184]

My sister and her partner have just moved to London to do their 2-year OE (from New Zealand). I've sent them your video to get ideas on what to do around London. Wish I was there!

[@kristinfitzgerald1541]

This is such a great series to start! I'd like to see Hampstead or Bloomsbury.

[@hollym2163]

Really enjoyed watching this. I live up in the Peak District and don't get down to London that often but that looks a great walk which I definitely need to try. Loved those hidden mews houses too - you miss all the little streets unless you walk. Looking forward to the next in the series!

[@BuchBarde]

Last week I went to London! It is such a great city! Thanks for this series...maybe I'll come back someday :)

[@robotnic]

Lovely video, Lauren! Thanks for showing us around.

[@iuditareads4868]

That was fun. More please.

[@fatehaali106]

Great video, can't wait to see the next video on this series.

[@TheBookishReader]

Amazing video Lauren. I love seeing a different side of London, makes me want to visit at the weekends (I work in London sometimes). Can't wait for the next in this series.

[@barbarahansen-duncan4105]

Thank you so much for this!! In a couple of months I'll have a full afternoon in London waiting for my overnight train to Inverness and was thinking about what to do near King's Cross, since I didn't want to venture too further away with my wee carry on, so this is perfect!!

[@LaurenWade]

PorridgeBooks oh my gosh how perfect! I hope you enjoy it when you come down 😊

[@bibliophilereads]

I loved this video so much! I must walk this route before summer is over!

[@inessamaria2428]

Great vlog. That bookstore would be fascinating.

[@KulturIncision]

Wow what a beautiful walk! Really lovely video 😍

[@TheLondonLass]

I get transfixed by lovely London houses too. I occasionally find the owners staring at me suspiciously! Please do a walk from the London Eye along to the Globe and Southwark Cathedral. I love mooching along around there and there are some great specialist bookshops on the South Bank (I love the BFI and National Theatre bookshops).

[@LaurenWade]

TheLondonLass yes, yes and yes! That's one of my favourite walks, I also love those bookshops 😊

[@alnsubuga]

TheLondonLass Ooh yes, that's a lovely walk with lots to see and do!

[@diamondsofsix]

The first (and only time) I went to London I fell ill with the swine flu, so I have only bad associations with the city xD But watching this made me really want to go back and actually experience something more than my hotel bed! Wonderful video, thanks for sharing :)

[@Violetsteel_]

I just so happen to be travelling into London to meet friends this weekend so I have suggested we do this walk while we are there! Fingers crossed for the weather. Thanks so much for sharing this, especially the google maps of it. i love it!

[@jenvcampbell]

Let us know how you get on :D xx

[@Ghues]

Okay, I love this series already. This is such a wonderful idea! And I've actually never really walked along Regent's Canal, so I'm definitely going to do that once I visit again.

[@becbec9301]

Loved this. Thank you

[@MinervaLuise]

I very much love the idea of this series! I've been to London twice and wish, I could go there more often but unfortunately, I'm living in a small and boring town in Germany :P

[@rosemannering]

This was such a cute walk, I'll definitely have to try and do it some time :)

[@DaeronK]

Love this! Gorgeous walk with two beautiful tour guides.

[@MsJu92]

I'm coming to London next week and I swear I had already put down onto the "to do list" a walk along Regent's Canal! This is going to be very helpful, thank you so much Lauren!

[@arizonajen7577]

Love this video and hope you continue with the series :) Thank you!

[@johngaskell1467]

Fantastic ! This is exactly what I love. Too often it's " All about me ". They are the videos that show feet all the time........you did it only once and only to make a point. Again FANTASTIC.

[@theliteraryexpat9852]

I was just at the Daunt books a week or so ago! I loved visiting London. There's so much to do and see and everything was in English! (I've been living in Belgium for a year and have yet to go home, to the states so going to London kind of felt like home.) Thank you for this video, I'm going to have to go back soon.

[@jenvcampbell]

Ahh, you edited this together so beautifully! x

[@LaurenWade]

Jen Campbell ☺️😘

[@liying29]

I love your look!

[@SophieIslington]

Beautiful ladies, lovely filming, perfect day. I'd love to up sticks and wander around this route.

[@AmyJaneSmith90]

Lauren this was such a lovely video! I loved it. Really enjoyable and calming - and I thought you edited together so well too. Looking forward to more of these xx

[@CaitlinReadsBooks]

Ok, um - I LOVE THIS and please yes do make this a series wow just - I want to see all of London but sadly I'm stuck living in the colonies. Also, Daunt Bookstore is now on my bucket-list it's GORGEOUS!

[@edroxsox]

I absolutely loved this!

[@emgaillard8143]

Excellent video ! I loved it 😍

[@paulwinchell6904]

yes more please

[@sladanac4003]

London is my Paris :-)

[@BilingualBookworm]

I loved every second of this. You both are gorgeous and so is London 💚 Marleybone High Street is so adorable! My favourite place for lunch there is The Natural Kitchen, it's so good and so cute!! Xxxx

[@dakkster]

I want to go back to London now!

[@rahulrathod-vx6yv]

Loved this

[@columbusmoore9655]

"It's delightful, it's delicious, It's delectable, it's delirious, It's dilemma, it's delimit, it's deluxe, It's de-lovely". Keep it goin'!!

[@elliothyland5148]

Great video! Looking forward to many more of these. Last time I was in London I went to Shoreditch for the first time. Maybe you can do a walk in that region?

[@LaurenWade]

Elliot Hyland for sure, I love Shoreditch 😊

[@MercysBookishMusings]

Well, this was a lovely video :)

[@molliefoley8853]

Love this series! I'm a uni student at King's, so finding new places to go is my favourite😊 daunt books is the most beautiful place ever, any chance you can create a mapped route of your walks so they're more cohesive to follow? I'd love to take my mum on this one!

[@jenvcampbell]

She did - linked in description :)

[@Amaz0nica]

5:16 Spotted the guy with the deathly hallows t-shirt :D

[@notanniewarren]

I love this idea, I love the video and you've done such a great job on the editing :) I'm so excited that you did this walk first because I've lived in Camden since I was a student so I know all the places you mentioned really well and I was sooooo excited to see them all! Do more do more do more :)

[@essencekk]

Hi, it is possible for you to update the link for the map of this walk?

[@LaurenWade]

The link seems to work for me...what do you mean when you say update? Xx

[@yrl7068]

Can I give the thumb down twice?
