Perfect content for my level, thank you.
Very nice and interesting presentation/introduction to the subject. I am sure there are many books about the Great Fire but I would like to mention and recommend "Wren´s London" by Eric de Maré (London, The Folio Society, 1975). Greetings from Argentina.
Braw Hoose.
My uncle Fred Martin ran this place from 1956 to 1978 approx
He had some very dodgy ideas that would have him cancelled today.

My 4th great grandmother is buried here. Amelia Roe Lewis b abt. 1772 D 1856 I have her cemetery details as: Plot: CTHC/01/006 Grave Reference: G/E/4493 CTHC/01/006 Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park, Tower Hamlets, London, England. I've emailed the park but was told they couldn't find or don't have the location. I was requesting a photo of the headstone or gravesite. I have a Find a Grave memorial for her 270018751 in which I have requested a photo but I'm still waiting for that. Thanks in advance for any help you can give...Linda

So exciting for Huguenot to descents
The restaurant says it is temporarily closed on the website?
Why have you stated "The East End & Whitechapel" on your map? Whitechapel is part of the East End.
Can it be more posh than that person?
Filth
Everyone mentioned in this video integrated and became indistinguishable from the native English ... can that be said now?
Anything about drug dealing, stabbings, single parent mothers or chronic under achievement?
Beautiful things. I’m speechless, as I’ve always preferred silver to gold. Now I just need more money 💰. 😂
A magnificent video; by far the finest video on Kenwood House on YT. What a pleasure to listen to a nicely spoken gentleman who not only knows what he is talking about but who also cares to dress in a manner befitting his position. I shall never forget my first visit to England in May 1999 and my visit to Kenwood, which took place on a beautiful, sunny day. In Lord Mansfield´s former study (8.03) we can briefly see the wonderful portrait of William Pitt the Younger by Thomas Gainsborough. Thank you very much for producing this video which brought back many nice memories. Regards from Argentina.
Ich kenne die Docks noch der 60er Jahre😢
My 4xGreat Grandfather was baptized at St Margaret’s Cathedral and got caught stealing money in Southwark and sent to Australia as a convict
Cool.
A friend and I visited London in 2019. We walked across Tower Bridge and went up to the crossing over the river. There's a glass section of floor up there which gives you an interesting view of river life. We then walked up to Southwark Cathedral. Did The Clink tour, walked along the waterfront past The Globe etc. I even saw a mudlark doing his thing on a tiny beach. We went up in The Shard as well. Southwark is a very interesting area and worth a visit.
Beautiful place
Love the Wallace Collection. We make a point of making a visit whenever we're in London and it's always a highlight for us!
For many years I lived in Belsize Park and would walk on Hampstead Heath on a a weekend but never did I enter into Kenwood House or much of its gardens. I never even attended on of the many concerts at the Hampstead Bowl that was close to Kenwood House but I always loved the time I spent on the Heath. Kite Hill with the amazing view over London, the parades of oak trees, the wonderful open spaces, the numerous places to picnic. It was a breath of fresh air for Northern London. One I loved and one I never took for granted.
Love this place - enjoyed the video
Great info!..I first noticed the statues last year. But it was those at the other side of the Church,visible from Upper Woburn Place.
This must be an old film probably from the late 90's when l worked there. They have changed the rules now and lend all the time.
Speaking about the London Underground, we, of course, remember two most important milestones in its history: 1863 - the opening of the subway and 1890 - the opening of the first deep electrified line built with shields. But there was another event between them that usually escapes attention: the appearance in 1870 of a rather unusual underground transport facility - the Tower Subway. As you know, the first lines of the London Underground were built using the pit method, and the trains were driven by steam locomotives. However, quite soon the possibilities for building tunnels and shallow stations were exhausted: there was simply no free land for this in the city, and the operation of steam locomotives in tunnels caused great inconvenience. Then the engineers turned to the experience of the Brunel father and son, who in 1825-42. Using the tunneling shield invented by Brunel the Father, a pedestrian tunnel almost 400 m long was built under the bottom of the Thames. Brunel's shield was extremely bulky and complex, but its very idea - the construction of a tunnel protected by a strong metal shell, protecting the miners from ground collapses - inspired the experienced engineer Peter William Barlow (1809-1885) and his young colleague James Henry Greathead (1844-96) to the idea of a simple cylindrical shield that could be used to build tunnels at great depths without digging up the streets. But how to set the cars in motion, since in deep tunnels it is impossible to provide ventilation from locomotive smoke and steam? Barlow proposed for this purpose cable traction with stationary steam engines located on the ground. The idea was not new: you can remember that on the world's first railway, Stockton - Darlington, built in 1825, engineer J. Stephenson used a stationary steam engine with a rope that clung to the train to help the locomotive on a steep section. Construction of the Tower Subway began in February 1869, and less than a year later the 377-meter tunnel was completed. Work was carried out from the northern shaft, 18 meters deep and 4.2 meters in diameter, using a cylindrical shield with a diameter of approximately 2.2 meters. The penetration rate was very high and reached 2.7 linear meters per day. The tunnel was fastened with cast iron tubing rings consisting of three segments and a key. The gap between the tubes and the 2.5 cm thick soil was filled with quick-hardening cement. The tunnel was deepened to the middle of the river with a slope of 25 thousandths. The tunnel was separated from the bottom of the Thames by a 6-meter layer of London clay. A tunnel opened into a southern shaft 15 meters deep. The tunnel had rails with a gauge of 76.2 cm, along which a carriage for 12 passengers, about 3 meters long, 1.6 wide and 1.8 meters high, moved. The entire trip took 1 minute and 10 seconds. Passengers ascended to the surface and descended using 6-person elevators powered by two 4 hp steam engines located on the north and south banks of the Thames. These same machines pulled the cables that set the trailer in motion, respectively, in one direction and the other. The ends of the tunnel were small underground lobbies with benches for passengers; ticket offices were located in the above-ground lobbies. Regular operation of the underground (more precisely, underwater) cable railway began in April 1870, but its operation was stopped on December 7 due to financial difficulties. In a short time, the mechanisms were dismantled, spiral staircases were installed in the mines, gas lighting was installed in the tunnel, and the tunnel became pedestrian. There was a fee of 1/2 penny for passage. 20,000 people used the tunnel every week. But in 1894, Tower Bridge was built, the passage through which was more attractive, and also free, so soon pedestrian traffic through the tunnel was stopped, and cables and water supply were placed in it. The above-ground pavilions of Tower Subway did not survive, but in 1926 the northern pavilion was recreated. In 1940, a German bomb fell into the Thames near the tunnel. The tunnel lining was deformed, but no flooding occurred. After some time, the damage was repaired.
Nice watch 😊
Great video thanks
I grew up in West Hampstead - spent a lot of my childhood on Hampstead Heath & later lived fairly near this house & we picnicked in that area sometimes - back in the 1960's ! I had never been inside, so it's lovely to see some of the beautiful formal rooms - thank you !
Can't wait to visit this year. Really looking forward :)
Love this, Love my club, What a journey, will always be my club 🏆
what the fuck is with the awful not need music for fuck sake.
Watching from Australia, I remember feeling gutted for the fans when “it” happened and since then have always kept up with scores, replays of games etc. when I eventually visit the UK, one of the first things I’ll do is get to a game (or more). There’s not a group of supporters that I could think of that are more deserving of success than the Wombles!
What a short film honestly, well done
An excellent film.
