    Last September, I've stayed in this area! Visiting London for the first time flying from California, and stayed in a flat at St. George Wharf; and didn't realize how much I would love this part of the city. Chill neighborhood, tons of stores and restaurants; and very close to 2 Underground stations Vauxhall and Nine Elms. Dinner by the River Thames is a must! Will be returning very soon!

    A very interesting dusk walk. I recognised some of the landscapes and not others. That skyscraper development at Vauxhall looks quite ugly. How buildings like the one still being built stays up I'll never know. Buildings used to go straight up, but now they look like an incomplete rubick's cube.

    Phew 😥😥 What an epic walk. You did go a bit Off-Piste was that intentional, or did you take the wrong turning at Vauxhall? It must have been a relief to see Battersea Pawer Station eventually looming up ahead! All credit to you for not just filming the tourist hot spots, that’s what makes you the top walker.

    • @WatchedWalker
      @WatchedWalker  2 года назад +2

      Thanks John! That was intentional, I wanted to pass those towers and the new tube station under construction, plus I thought it would make a change to see some less picturesque streets.

    Hello WW. it's now 5pm UK time. Got it! See you at 9pm. I just did 60 mins on the stationary bike this afternoon and covered 32 kms with no issues all. I was even purposely holding back the pace. Anyhow see you at tonight's premiere. I see it's another long one, over 1 hr 15 mins.
    I'm intruiged by the thumbnail preview and trying to work out what it is that I'm actually looking at in terms of the raised "double ramp".
