London's Most Expensive Houses | Hampstead Virtual Tour Part II
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 июл 2024
- In this video, Sinead takes you on a journey through one of London's most exclusive boroughs: Hampstead. NEXT VIDEO: Hampstead Part One - • Where London's Million...
Stunning Hampstead has been a hot spot for aristocracy and celebrities throughout the centuries and in this video, Sinead is going to show you some of the most expensive, exclusive, and beautiful homes in our capital...as well as where those on the outside of the law may have spent some time!
Come with Free Tours by Foot to the historical Kenwood House (where films like Notting Hill and Sense & Sensibility were filmed), through the charming Hampstead Heath (790 acres of gorgeous woodland), along the affectionately named 'Millionaire's Row' and finish at Keats' House (a lovingly maintained Regency Villa). With a quick visit to one of the 1980's most stylish and controversial artists, past the home of the inspiration for Ian Fleming's Goldfinger, and along the road where the creator of the Muppets once lived, Sinead will help you uncover all the charming gems of Hampstead.
This is where celebrities in London live, with eye-waveringly expensive property prices and stunning Georgian architecture. You'll see why this is a hot spot for high profile Londoners - and why it has been throughout centuries. Boasting over 60 blue plaques commemorating the great names that have resided here, Hampstead has been a destination for the rich and famous for decades. Come with Free Tours by Foot to discover this classic London location that tourists don't know about!

I could listen to Sinéad all day.
Me too!!
We agree Sinead is the best🥂 keep it up Graeme & Jane Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks all I’m truly grateful for the very kind words
Sinead
Too sweet
Sinead
Me too. The Irish accent is my favourite
Sinead, you are tremendous at presenting all these fascinating videos. Makes me want to hop on a train and follow your footsteps. Keep them coming x
Come visit us Lyn
Would be delighted to show you around
Sinead
Your tours of London's suburbs and neighborhoods (if that is what one can call them) are engrossing. What a marvelous city. It is so commendable that the powers-that-be have preserved the green spaces, the beautiful old architecture, the historic landmarks and the unique identities of the streets and neighborhoods. They haven't fallen victim to "improvement" and "modernization" like similar places here in the U.S. I love these leafy quiet streets with their gracious homes. Gentility abounds. London, to me, is a treasure. i think there are quite a few neighborhoods, suburbs and connected towns and villages that would be great places to tour. Thank you again, and, BTW, you look beautiful in this video.
So glad you are enjoying our work :) And, yes, we are very spoiled with green spaces in our city! One of the reasons London is the best place to be.
English cottages are beautiful yes👍 Sinead those garden well maintained and green⭐️⭐️
So we’ll maintained
Truly spectacular estates
Sinead
Boy, life must've been so very different and so much more fragile before penicillin. It's so hard to imagine it What a spectacularly beautiful area, and such lovely homes. I totally approve this tour!!! Many thanks, Sinead.❤
Thank you Silva
Delighted you enjoyed it
Sinead
I love Sinead tours. She seem to know what the people want to look at. I would love to see more cemetery’s I enjoy them.
Stay tuned lovely
I’m planning on finishing The Magnificent Seven
Sinead
I barely watch television anymore its just constant politics,propaganda and fear mongering these videos are informative and relaxing thanks Sinaed.
So glad we can provide some entertainment for you, Wayne!
Hampstead Heath is absolutely gorgeous and an absolute delight and a magical space to walk around. The heath itself is gorgeous, beautiful trees, open space etc. Highly recommend the great pubs in Hampstead.
Everything about Hampstead is charming elegant and inviting
I couldn’t agree more with you Nils
Sinead
@@FreeToursbyFootLondon Yeah It's the one please in the world that truly feels like home. And as you said in the video... ’London you never stop to intrigue and amaze me’, i absolutely agree on that
So much fun! So pretty. Love the history. Thank you as always Sinead.❤
A pleasure as always for you lovely
Sinead
I am a new subscriber from the states Pennsylvania ! I want you to know how much I appreciate the time you take to put out these historical videos of the places you got to . I love the history of places. I am going to catch up on all those I missed in the past . Thank you so very much Have a lovely day !
Welcome to the channel, Judy!
Just a suggestion, why not pop in to Blackheath village and do a tour? As you know, a little in the village, who is this that oozes charm and yet so much history.
As always, you do yourself proud with the tours, coupled with your voice that I could listen to incessantly
This is a great suggestion
Thank you will do some research x
Sinead
The little private gates to the nice homes are gorgeous. I'd love to go to that library. Thank you for this Sinead!❤
You are welcome, as always, Allie!
Well worth the wait. Thank you Sinead.
Delighted you enjoyed it James
Sinead
Again Sinead, thanks for all the joy and knowledge you bring us.
Sinead is my favorite with her tours🙌💜🙌
Thank you lovely means the world
Sinead
Love Hampstead so much and doing my family tree I traced ancestors back to Hampstead, this brought some of the way they would of lived to life . Thank you
So glad we could share it with you, Robert :)
Part 2 did not disappoint
We walked throughout this area 2 days before your visit. Fun to watch your video & see things we missed.
I’m a Poetry Ambassador at John Keats House! It’s one of the reasons I wanted to move to London last summer and I’m fortunate to rent a cheap room just around the corner from it. Such a blessing to live in this beautiful area so close to a magnificent green space.
Oh wow! That sounds wonderful :)
There's always a surprise to be found in London! That's why we're coming back again in May of 2024! Thank you for a wonderful video tour.
That's great news, Deborah!!
Hold my beer.....

Hello, dear Sinead! These last few tours of Hampstead have been very interesting. These are areas of London that I think tourists rarely visit, and you have told us very instructive things about these places. Honestly, it's been a great job. And it's also a pleasure to see you so pretty. Thanks, as always. Kisses from Barcelona in Spain. I love you! ❤💋
Hi Maunuel

Hello from S. California! Lovely two videos on Hampstead! How about doing a video on the renovated Granary Square and the Gasholder park area in Kings Cross near St. Pancras station?
This is a brilliant suggestion
Thank you will look into it
Sinead
🧡💜💚Sinéad, I love watching your videos! I live in Cleveland, Ohio USA, and will never see the sights you show me, so Thank You! I would love to see the neighborhoods of Joe Orton, and Kenneth Williams. 💚💜🧡

Same here Sue x
Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺 great walking & talking tour Sinead! So beautiful in Hampstead 🤩 Ah, if only! Was there over Christmas 2021/2022. Had a walk through some of the streets but unfortunately didn’t get to walk through the Heath. Stopped at the recycled designer clothing outlet in part 1 👍🏻
That just means you'll need to come back ;)
I love London so much…I have not been back in decades, this tour makes me want to jump on a plane!!
Come see us, Diana!
Kensington is indeed beautiful. While visiting a house with one of the most brutal cases of parenticide in United States history in Fall River, MA we took a ride down to Newport RI and visited the Breakers and all of those Mansions from the Gilded Age. It will amaze what wealth can do. I would to spend some time in London as a bucket list item. Thanks as always for expressing your love of your adopted home.
A wonderful end to the tour thank you so much Sinead. The facts and information that you have on these different places is astounding. thanks for all your hard work x much appreciated x 🌼
So pleased you enjoyed Part 2, also :)
Hello from the States. Thank you for your walkabouts. I adore the quaint streets of London.

Our pleasure, Michelle!
Loved this walking tour and your knowledge of the places along it. Have to agree, on a nice day areas like Hampstead Heath are fantastic for a stroll and take in the views.

Hi Sinead, awesome live history video I enjoyed it. How are you doing? I'm doing well. Have a great day see you next video all your history videos are enjoyable 😊
Thank you very much Sinead for continuing on with Hempstead and stunning homes in London .
The beautiful history is amazing. It's amazing to see what homes/mansions looked like built over 600+ years ago. Absolutely breathtaking!!
Glad you enjoyed this one!
@@FreeToursbyFootLondon I sure did. It's very beautiful how estates were constructed and beautiful landscaping too.
Have a beautiful afternoon Sinead💖
That was great Sinead love all the houses boy Georges looks great! can i suggest a tour of Richmond park? or Kew Gardens!
Both are on our list, Beverley!
Loving your videos.
We love that you love them!
Sinead, as always a pleasure to see you my friend! I so enjoyed see part 2, the houses, grounds and streets were so, so amazing to me! Will still look forward to one day(s) strolling around London with you and absorbing every word and term you say. I saw several properties that would be right for you with the appropriate staff. But of course😂! Will be searching for the plaques with your name on them. After all, you are the woman, the myth and the legend of London travelers. Imagine how many will say, l remember when Sinead said this, that and the other! Have a great week my dear friend, love, Kandy
Oh Kandy this is absolutely adorable
Enjoyed and laughed hysterically at this comment
When I have staff you shall be the first I invite over for afternoon tea
That is a promise
Sinead
Another great tour, sinead never disappoints just love love your work. You make it feel like i could reach out and touch them you bring the story alive,
Boy george house please.
Thanks Sinead
what a great sunny day you had too.
We are so glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much Sinead for all of your amazing video tours. I absolutely love watching them and gain so much from them. Have a coffee on me x
Thank you sincerely
It’s very much appreciated x
Sinead
Incredible..
That brought back some happy memories as I'm living abroad now but lived there as a boy and loved the Heath and Kenwood. I wish you'd got some of the names right, though - it's the Vale of Health, with the (still segregated) swimming lakes, not the Vale of 'Heath', and the pond at the top of the hill is the Whitestone Pond. If you're after expensive houses that make Boy George's look distinctly cheap try the Bishop's Avenue or Ingram Avenue, or around the Heath Extension and the Spaniards, and going up from Golders Hill Park to the Pergola - one, up from the Bull and Bush, I recall still had the watch towers on the corners where it was used to house German internees, mainly Jewish, during WWII.
Edit: forgot to add that the part of Kenwood at the 'title' was actually the staff accommodation and stable block, now a restaurant although I haven't been there for a long time, while the leafy part you walked through in the part of the garden next to Dr Johnson's Summer House, leading to the lake, is the Orangery - the most recent addition.
My favourite 'hidden gem' at Kenwood was the walled kitchen garden next to the car park, which virtually nobody ever went into.
There is vast wealth present at Bishop's Avenue, but little taste. Most of the properties there are absolutely hideous. I'm no fan of Boy George, but I like his house, it has character.
@@stevebarlow3154 Ingram Avenue is, in my view, far nicer than Bishops Avenue.
@@John-G I lived in Highgate for a while, but I don't think I ever walked that far west. Which is a pity, as I'm sure there is some interesting architecture to see there. Locally there were two notorious roads, The Bishops Avenue and Winnington Road, where Arab despots, Russian oligarchs, third world dictators etc would build enormous properties more suitable for Beverly Hills than London!
@@stevebarlow3154 Ingram Avenue runs from the top end of Winnington Road down to Wildwood Road, half-way down the Heath Extension. Much more tasteful, but things may have changed.
I’m in love with Hampstead……..thank you, Donna in Toronto
Us, too :)
Great video. You look beautiful as always too, Sinead!
Glad you enjoyed this one!
Love your videos. That part of Hampstead is so pretty, if you owned period house there you'd never want to sell. Hope you can come down to SW London soon, Richmond and Twickenham has some great history and the odd famous home
Richmond is coming up very soon x
Your tours are the best you combine all elements of the good bad and ugly your Jack the Ripper tours the very best
Thank you Carol means the world
Sinead
O M G... the absolutely incredible digs of Boy George!! I recall (probably many years ago now) when he was sentenced in New York City for some infraction or another, to clean up trash for a couple of weeks somewhere in the city. Of course he was spotted and papped while doing it, and photos of him looking like any regular bloke; no makeup, maybe a bit chubbier than I was used to seeing him, appeared everywhere. I don't know why he lived in NYC just then, but to think he could've been ensconced in this gorgeous, fabulous gothic style mansion you just showed!! No wonder he didn't appear very woebegone. My goodness, and YAY for Boy George.
His home is truly magnificent
Thank you for your wonderful comment and extra info
Sinead
Thank you Sinead as always. How I wish I could join you at Halloween, I'm sure it will be great fun. You are such an inspiration. Cool to see Boy George's home and Keats and all the other beautiful homes, any one of them would do me lol. Much love from New Zealand x
You will be with us in spirit, Karen!
Aww that's lovely, thanks Sinead x@@FreeToursbyFootLondon
Not sure if it’s possible, but could you do a Call The Midwife tour?
I love all your tours, especially the private cemetery tours with my sister, niece, and son last June!!
We will add it to the list!
Highgate Village is also full of history and interesting buildings, etc. Spent many happy days of my childhood there.
Love Highgate
Have you seen our CemeteryTour

I have visited the Keats house in the past but the last time I was there it was under renovation.John Keating in Chicago.Thanks again
It’s my second time John
It’s so special walking in his footsteps

Marvellous sinead

Thanks as always Alan

This Gen Xer nearly screamed when you said Boy George! LOL!
Brought us right back to our teenage years Alicia
Many moons ago
Sinead
Nice work all 👏👏👏👌🏻
Thanks David
Sinead
Just as nice as i thought it would be.
When I used to live near by this was my park.Amazing..
Glad we could bring you back, Rose!
Holland Park!! Jimmy Page’s house… loved seeing Boy George’s home. Thank you
Holland Park is on the list
Stay tuned lovely
Sinead
Yay!!
I agree, the quaint houses aren't just about the wealth but the architectural interest, the Bishops Avenue by contrast is even wealthier, but the mansions there can be rather ugly in comparison. As a little appendix to your Hampstead video's, have you considered visiting Hampstead Garden Suburb? It's quite unique and a wonderful example of arts & crafts architecture, with a central square dominated by two fine Lutyens churches. Well worth a video.
I love Hampstead. My dream home is near that lock-up
Omg I'm actually watching from Killarney :)) Been to Hampstead recently but want to come back. It reminds me of Dalkey actually.
My home town Killarney is quite similar don’t you think ?
Sinead
@@FreeToursbyFootLondon In terms of proximity to the park, absolutely.
Lovely
Lovely! Suggestion - Regency tour please with Rotton Row, White's, old Almacks, Gunter's tea shop premises, Hatchets bookshop, Drury lane, Ooera house, Jackson's boxing saloon premises and Old bond street.
This is definitely on the list :)
@@FreeToursbyFootLondon Fantastic! Will you have a tour next year April? Coming to London. Would love to join.
The cottages are adorable
Hi. Love watching your videos. I am jealous of the wealthy who get to live in these fabulous places x
You and me both Katie
It’s my dream destination for a home

Thanks!

Good video, I hope to return to Hampstead one day
We hope you make it :)
