Bermondsey stroll along the Thames
Join me as I walk along the Thames on a beautiful, sunny Autumnal day. I start at the King's Stairs just north of Sothwark Park and Jamaica Road and pass Chamers Wharf where Tideway is building London's Super Sewer. We see all the wonderful buildings and brickwork of all the wharves when the Port of London was the World's premier trading port.
The views of the Thames against the backdrop of the City of London and the buildings of the old Docks is simply breathtaking!

Paddington Green and Lord's Cricket Ground
Просмотров 5812 часов назад
Join me as I start the walk at Paddington Station, with some wonderful railway sounds, and make my way along the Regent's canal and Westway to historic Paddington Green. This is an area that came alive after the building of the Regent's Canal in the early 1800s. From Paddington Green we came back to the Regent's to see one of the great views in London, that of the Maida Vale section of the Rege...
Clifford Road Tunnels in Ipswich
Просмотров 6321 час назад
Join me as I discover Clifford Road tunnels in Ipswich. These tunnels were built at the start of World War 2 to house and protect local inhabitants from bombing raids by the Luftwaffe. Most people thought they were fully blocked up after the war, but this was not so. Many years later they were discovered under a school playground. So far, only one tunnel has been opened to the public, with the ...
Goodman's Field explore a story of the edges
Просмотров 90День назад
Join me as I walk along the City of London and East End borderlands. I start at Prescot Street in an area once known as Goodman's Field. On our walk we see wonderful architecture, with a mixture of Victorian, Georgian and Art Deco excellence. This is an area of contrasts with a visible history dating back to the Romans as we're close to the London Wall. We only start to look at an area that wou...
Royal Mint and East End jaunt
Просмотров 32214 дней назад
Join me as I walk in London's East End. I've crossed over the border from my office in the City of London! Its a beautiful and wonderful place and like crossing into Narnia! Its such a contrast as walk along Dock Street and Royal Mint Street to enjoy its history to two very different industries; London Docks and the Royal Mint. Both are integral two London's rich history. We capture the streets...
Smithfield what's going on
Просмотров 36221 день назад
Smithfield is seeing great changes. The meat market has gone and with it centuries of tradition and a way of life. London and Smithfield are synonymous with each other. Its London with a special London identity. Smithfield is just off High Holborn and Newgate Street and slightly north and west of St Pauls. That's all changing! From 2026 this will be where the Museum of London resides with an em...
RAF Hendon explore
Просмотров 43821 день назад
Join me as I explore the RAF Museum in Colindale and Hendon. Its a difficult vlog as I don't glory in war, but want to pay my tribute to the brave men and women who served and gave their lives so we can enjoy the freedom we have today. Also, on a much serious note, I loved WW1 2 airfix planes. I have a weak spot for early aviation and I loved seeing these planes, though I'm not oblivious to the...

We look at its history with tanning and leather whilst observing what is around with us. We visit proper pubs with old time wooden bars and floors. There's park created from WW2 bomb sites, post WW2 housing estates and buildings where tanning and th...
More artwork and sculptures in City of London

Join us as we walk around the City of London and view its wonderful artwork and sculptures. We concentrate around Leadenhall Street, Bishopsgate and Lime Street. In amongst all these sculptures we also see the many skyscrapers going up in the City of London, which can be viewed as artwork, though some would disagree.

      I think Baz the main market has gone but there's a few businesses still running, but it looked very quiet to me, with little signs of anything happening. I believe any business remaining have got to be gone 2028.

    All a bit more highbrow than the Morphs. One of my favourite sculptures is Sanctuary by Naomi Blake, situated in St Botolph Without Aldgate churchyard. It is dedicated to victims of oppression, and the artist was a Holocaust survivor.
