Good tour of my former old Town..London has some beautiful architecture and Neighborhood's for sure&long may they last( As long as the local planning Org monitor and restrict some of the renovatios by crazy rich individuals or companies) who go over the top with buillding& never actually live in the property). Adding a Swimming Pool might seem nice,until it compromises ur neighbors foundations! And a Sw1 Postal Code says it all!

Hi Sinead, and greetings from Baltimore, MD, USA. I lived in London during my teens/early 20's and went to school and college there too. I just want to say how much I enjoy watching your videos. Especially since you cover some the areas that I lived in and some of the areas that I used to love to visit. I like the balanced approach that you take between talking about the history and the contemporary status of the neigbourhoods that you cover. I also love you accent. Keep up the good work and I'll look forward to seeing more of your awesome videos in the future.

Oh Sinead! It has been at least 4 million years!!! You are funny. I love the Belgravia area. The properies are very beautiful and perfectly maintained. It would be a dream come true to be able to see the inside of one or two. I bet they are immaculately designed and appointed. Wow.

Thank you Sinead, that was a wonderful tour of an area of London that I know quite well as my late husband was from Chelsea, going back a few generations. His grand parents met in Kinnerton Street when both in 'service', he as a groom , she as a lady's maid. We often walked around the area which was full of memories for him and had a drink in The Grenadier or The Nag's Head. I love Orange Square and have eaten many times in La Poule au Pot,

Thanks lovely ❤ hope you're over the bug that's knocked you about!! Loved this one as l worked as a chef at the Audley in w1 in 1984/85. I used to wander these back streets and mews in our 'break' time after lunch service (remembering that Pubs used to close for 3 hours mid afternoon. We are hoping to be back next summer and arrange another private tour with you! Love from Wayne and Sue. Melbourne, Australia

[@greyfriars6540]

I'm glad the Grosvenors have ownership of the area. Otherwise developers would have gone nuts ripping everything out and replacing with ugly 60s and 70s office buildings. There's no mega basement development either.

[@tonys1636]

One always knows when on Grosvenor / Duke of Westminster land, the family Coat of Arms on the lampposts.

[@Stand663]

Fascinating story about the Grovsnors. They bought a cheap plot of land in area of London. The monarch at the time, I think it was Queen Anne, wanted a quite place for her court, and moved to same area. The price of the same land vastly increased, and the grosvners became very wealthy etc etc. Gosh talk abt being in the right place at the right time.

[@olivierolivier6080]

it has nothing to do. It depends on the state or the town to rule the new constructions. That a few have so much is just a nonsens

[@craigedwards2557]

There are quite a few mega basement developments underway currently and recently completed
