When you said: "The Queen lives next door, so it's super safe." I immediately imagined her being some sort of crime fighting vigilante. With a cape and sceptre, obviously.
Dickens supposedly had a deaf cat that would somehow put out his candle when it was time for bed. He was a workoholic and tended to forget to sleep when working on something. His cat would say 'nope, bed time mister!'
Well I totally didn’t read that as ‘dead’ cat at all…here I was thinking the ghost of his cat was still keeping him company long into the afterlife. Also the first image in my head a very disturbing taxidermy cat with a tail made into a handle like the cat itself became his candle holder… 🫥
Although I don’t live close to London, it’s really fun watching these videos and seeing you being so passionate about it. One day I’ll go and then I’ll look through all the cool places!
I live close to an outdoor living museum called beamish which is up north close to Durham and Newcastle. It’s a really gorgeous place and really makes you feel lol you are in the time period each part is portraying. There’s a 1900’s pit village and 40’s farm, 50’s farm, Victorian town with a few terrace houses (some of whose remind me a lot of some of the houses friends and family grew up in on my local village a few miles away) shops, including confectionary, mechanics, pub, bank, bakery and many others, most of which you can actually buy things from and there’s a park. The Victorian village also has a carnival that’s used in the summer and a train that takes you to the new (and still being built) 50’s town. There’s also the 1820’s pockelry old hall which is basically an old very high up farm with servants quarters which would once be run by quite a well off family then there’s the landscape around it and the 1820’s pockelry waggon way. All the different sections can be either walked to or you can cath the busses and trams to each section which are all from the different time periods. One of the things that makes it most like actually being in those times is that all the staff dress in accurate clothing for each sections time period and actually do the jobs and show you how each shop would have run like making the sweets in the confectionery shop. It’s one of my favourite places to visit. All of the buildings and area are either based on real places even down for eh actually original tiles being recreated like I’m the fish and chip shop in the 50’s town or the actual buildings were bought and moved to beamish and rebuilt in exactly the same way so everything is totally authentic 😁
@@LilyoftheLake14 the north is an incredibly beautiful place in general with loads of history if that’s what you’re interested in 🙂 of course all of the UK has lots of hydrogen but the england/Scottish boarder has the highest density of castles, keeps, towers and bastles in the whole of the UK because of the fighting between England and Scotland. I live in kielder which is only 2 miles from the boarder and just in a 30 mile radius there’s more castles than I can count on my hands. Some are still pretty intact and some are ruins and bastles are so common around here a lot of older farm houses people live in now have a wall or two which were from the original bastle 🙂 also we have Hadrian’s wall about 30 miles from kielder with lots of forts to visit 😁
Highgate Cemetery in London is a must. Very atmospheric and lots of historical figures buried there. There are loads of old kirkyards (churchyards) in Edinburgh; Greyfriars, Calton Hill and Dean being just three that I appreciated. Just yesterday, I visited Brookwood Cemetery in Surrey. It's probably the largest in the UK, has countless graves and burial grounds of different faith groups and families, and also has a huge military section that's interesting and very moving. You could spend all day in Brookwood easily.
I want stayed in a hotel very close to Green Park. It was one of the coolest, most amazing, spectacular version of “old London” that I’ve ever experienced. Love your channel!
I‘be loved in London for two years but up until now been so focused on a levels (just finished this week yay) that I have only seen around my house and my school 😅 Planning on having a proper explore over this summer!
The chimneys and rooftops in London give me the chills I think they are so beautiful and make me want to be there as well as reminisce on when I’ve been there an what it was like hundreds of years ago cuz some of those buildings were still the same and it’s crazy how “historical” things can be so relevant to where you are, like I grew up in California so the states and here things that are from the 1910s are considered pretty historic the oldest things are missions and they are THE oldest and they aren’t even that old like late (1770s nearest one to me) and they are rare(as in old things in ca) but when I was in Philly it was crazy legit they were like oh yea George Washington hung out here and just buildings from late 1600s and all that very common I thought that was old then I went to London and they are talking about like the Roman bath houses in Bath and how old they were and my mind was just BLOWN 🤯! It’s crazy our perception of how old things are yea idk random rant 🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️😂
Speaking of eating waterfowl: Could you do a video on the origin of the Wayzgoose festival? I’m pretty sure it has something to do with old printing guilds and some ceremony or annual commemoration, but I don’t know the details.
She came back as a vampire for the soul purpose of protecting this park. She has always wanted to dedicate all of her to her beloved park, but her queen duties prohibited her from following her dream. Now in death, she has found freedom 😌
A bunch of old Georgian/Victorian houses like the 1st group still exist in Ireland. They're mostly things like doctors' offices now, though they used to be tenements.
Always feel so bad for Tim Burton. He moved to London and was so excited to experience the legendary London Fog™ but because of the river level/bridges/FPMs there is very little to it now. He was super disappointed. If anyone ever meets him - put him onto Green Park!
I think I love tourists in London don't seem to understand it's not the Victorian London of yesteryear the German Luftwaffe redesigned it for us quite heavily. There are skyscrapers there are old parts but people aren't wandering around dressed as chimney sweeps.
@@PiXie232 The rules of titles given to the monarch's consort are different depending on whether they're their husband or wife. In the UK, a King's wife IS called "Queen Consort", but a Queen regnant's husband is not called "King Consort". Instead, he is called "Prince Consort". This may be because the title of King is reserved only for a man reigning in his own right (suo jure). However, before Scotland and England started sharing monarchs in 1603, Mary, Queen of Scots (reign 1542 - 1567) did grant her first 2 husbands the title of King Consort, but not to her third husband. Also, Mary I of England's husband, Philip II of Spain, was given the title of "King of England (jure uxoris)", but this only lasted for the duration of Mary's reign (1553 - 1558). So when Mary died, he no longer was King of England.
You said go to a park... at night, and my America mind instantly responded with "say what?" I'm a guy and even I would hesitate to walk around a city park at night, I didn't realize London has districts that are that safe.
Going in Green Park at night? Are the parks in London opened all the time, even at night? I'm curious because in my country every park closes around 8pm at the latest
i had a chance to go to london last year (absolutely loved it) but it was only for a few days so i just jammed in as many tourist attractions as i could and then sat at the airport for half the day bc my flight got cancelled 😂 so i always dream of going again specifically just to do all these things i learn abt
My American brain broke like y'all can really be walking around at night? I mean you don't need to worry about stray bullets so I guess there's nothing to be afraid of really.
I don't know why but when I was reading the question, I thought they're asking for some good places to go longboarding in London. Now I'm wondering if you would have an answer to that lol
Green park is not safe at night. Not to mention its depressing to see every single bench filled with the poor homeless souls who sleep there in the shadow of Buckingham Palace
Seriously ??? Gas lamps in the 21st century? I thought they would've all been fixed for electricity in the 60s and 70s at the latest. I suppose if they have to light them then they aren't electric. Otherwise they just flick a switch at some power station or something?

I like the idea of a foggy walk through the lamp-lit park
I went to Dickens' house. It wasnt so memorable, but the street is georgous. Its worth going just to walk down the street.
I quite enjoyed the Dickens museum myself, very interesting, and there's a tea room there, too!
