Sinead, I adore your tours. You "virtually" transport me from Texas to London. Thank you for the joy you bring me. ❤😊
An absolute pleasure Melanie
Delighted you enjoyed it
Sinead
As a fellow Texan, in my town San Angelo, we also have a very historic street in town from the old west.. from a wild west restored bordello and saloon on the street that is/ was ( in the old days !) within walking distance from our famous old west cavalry fort , Fort Concho! It is such a pleasure to see and learn from all the unique and wonderful places in our world! I especially love the ancient and historical sites! Thank you, now I can see what my parents saw on their visit to London in 1969… what a groovy time London must have been then!
@@ToursbyFootLondon ❤️❤️
@@kimberlypatton205 I lived in Big Spring for 11 years. I loved going down to San Angelo. It's literally the only city in West Texas that I actually liked and miss! 😊😊❤️
You have no idea how much your videos keep me sane at work Sinead. They are so interesting and your voice is so relaxing! 😂. I love all your videos and so glad you're back for 2024! (I know this is an old video but your new ones are great too) Xx
Thank you Sophie
Always appreciate these wonderful comments
Sinead
Great tour. I'm finding videos I haven't seen. This is one
I am so glad I found this channel!!! I have been binging your videos, they are fantastic! We are leaving from the US for the UK for a family vacation is 9 days!! Back in 2019 we stayed in Arundel and took the train to London and then drove to Liverpool...it was an adventure! BUT, we didn't get to spend enough time in London, so we are heading back to London, then Edinburgh and then Dublin. We can't wait and watching your videos have just been amazing and giving me some great tips for our visit. My son is a musician, drummer, for two local bands and just loves the history of music. He has seen The Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney in concert and I am going to surprise him with a tube trip to Soho after watching your video. Thank you so much for these wonderful videos!
We hope you have an excellent visit, Katrina! Come see us!! www.freetoursbyfoot.com/london-tours :)

We love it!

Thanks!
Thank you MJ
Sinead
Thanks
Thank you as always Levi
Sinead
Oh that's a great place to visit I love the circus and Piccadilly is great there is always Trafalgar square, my faves. But every place in London is a real treat. I think it is the most beautiful city in the world. And everyone so very friendly, I met some very sweet people there and we planned a trip to Niagara falls they wanted to see that so we met again in New York and we crossed into Canada together.i never get tired of the falls and we spent a week there and they were in awe of the falls
I did not want to shell out money on cabs, so we had the idea of using E bikes so that is what we did and at the circus I had the best steak and kidney pie I ever ate. A wild and fun filled time we had, I want to see more than want to have some adventure before I pass on, England is the best country for history.
How I would love to do a vlog at The Falls
Thanks for sharing Harolyn
Sinead
@@ToursbyFootLondon your videos are all good, very good delivery they are good because there is history and lessons that can be learned there is a lot to share and for a lot of people they will never have the opportunity to travel like I had I want to see thru my very own eyes the beauty and history that countries have.
Great video!!! Especially, Minalima!! Awesome❤
Isn’t it amazing in there Leonora
Sinead
Funny how the "Jungle Cave" reminded me of "The Tiki Room" and the "Jungle Boat Cruse" at Dinseyland. Thanks to Sinead for another fine watch, always a joy.
What we wouldn't give to be in the Tiki Room right now!
that rainforest restaurant ....is fantastic! Those shops....! There sure a lot of Ads on cars and billboards there.
Thank you Sinead that was lovely to see inside those shops and restaurants. You can't beat the atmosphere of the London streets day or night. 💕🇦🇺
Place is buzzing right now Liz
Sinead

Aww that's like a mini Rainforest Cafe so it must be the same owner. I love the rainstorm that goes off. ❤ I loved the Hufflepuff poster. ❤Thank you for this wonderful video Sinead! It definitely helped my Monday morning. 😊
It was a Rainforest Cafe, but I think they’ve pulled out.
Glad you liked it, Allie!
thanks for the tour, watching from Sydney
Our pleasure!
Thank you for sharing, this video was totally awesome.
So glad you liked this one, Norma :)

Hi Sinead!! Great video, we miss London and loved our tour with you! In fact we are heading back in October!! Can’t wait to see you again if you’re around. We’ll send details.
X, Carolyn and Radu!
You guys were an absolute pleasure
Definitely contact me before you arrive
Sinead
Wow- we love your tours. We are visiting London in October and one of the first things we did was booked a tour. Great site and great tours.❤
We can't wait to meet you, Michelle!
Did a load of work in the Trocadero too the under ground bit 😁👌🏻👌🏻👍
We bet you've got some stories to share, David!
@@ToursbyFootLondon Yep Definitely 💯😁😁 worked on Mr Sainsbury’s house in Tite st 👍 it’s the Brown marble block house 🤔
Thank you. Always enjoy your tours.
Thanks Norean

Hi Michelle

That was a great tour, yeah touristy but I really enjoyed that thanks.
Delighted you did William
Thanks for watching
Sinead
Great Tour as Per Usual. A correction. The oldest & Longest play is still The Mouse Trap xxx
You’re absolutely right should have said Musical
Sinead
Fabulous again ,
sinead
😊🏴☠️🎈
Знакомые места!!! Учили в школе - London is the capital of Great Britain!!! 😍🙃😊
Excellent, Sinead. So interesting! Kisses from Barcelona, my dear! 💐🌹❤❤💋💋💋💋💋💋
Thanks as always Manuel
Sinead
Excellent video Sinead! Pity there wasn't time to cover CHINA TOWN which is within five minutes' walk of Piccadilly - at the end nearest to Piccadilly is the excellent Wong Kei's restaurant , where for the price of a McDonalds you get table service and freshly cooked wholesome Chinese food!
Also Leicester square has a lot of street entertainers as well as film theaters.
And if you don't mind a further walk of about five or so minutes, you get to Covent Garden with it's amazing market and kitch shops, not forgetting a large number of hugely talented street entertainers!
Perhaps you could cover China Town, Leicester Square & Covent Garden in their own videos - all of them are rich with attractions & history! 😎🤠
You've made us hungry with all this Chinatown talk! ;)
Another wonderful video Sinead
Glad you liked this one, Anita :)
enjoy yr G n T Sinead ,, jungle cafe looks very cool
Thanks as always Peter
Sinead

and the co op. plus the beer engine
Love the harry Porter shop
Me too
I have a picture of my grandfather in Piccadilly Circus after WW2. Then my dad and I went and took pictures in same place. Then my niece went and did the same thing.
That is fantastic!

Sinead
Much love to Sinead from Munich, Germany!

Might run into you so Jon
Thanks for watching
Sinead
Love from New Orleans Louisiana 😊❤❤❤
Thanks Cajunrage
Sinead
I was in leicester square just the other day to watch MJ the musical 😊
How was it?
The Jungle Cafe is similar to the Rainforest Cafe in America.
It's the same company - well spotted :)
It’s like the Rainforest Cafe at Disney
Might have to put Disney on the list
Now that would be a bucket list tour
Sinead
Jungle cafe, looks like the restaurant we call Rainforest cafe here in the States
It is indeed the same, Dawn :)
I am from India and I would like to participate in this tour. In May 2023 I had visited London and participated in two tours conducted by you; one was Westminster and the other City of London. You may not remember me but I will attempt to remind you, I am a RUclipsr and I was video recording all the while using my phone and gimbal. At St. James Park I had taken a coffee break and when I finished my coffee I realized that the group had moved on. Then I quickly went through your Westminster walking tour video on RUclips to check where you could possibly be. I spotted the group outside Churchill War Rooms. I wonder if I was able to jog your memory. I enjoyed every moment of the walking tours.
I visited Leicester Square and surroundings with my niece who works in London; I saw but did not learn anything about these places.
My friend who hosted me is asking me to visit London again since according to him I missed some hidden gems. So I accepted his offer and I plan to visit London once again in May 2024 and I hope to participate in 2 or 3 more of your walking tours and discover the "hidden gems". I am excited and am looking forward to meeting you again 😊.
Sorry, I made this comment so long.
We hope to see you when you get here! :)
♥
👍🏼
Very nice Mam🎉🎉🎉
Glad that you enjoyed the video! If you haven't done so already, you can hopefully check out our back catalogue of virtual London tours ruclips.net/user/FreeToursbyFootLondonvideos. There is more where this came from.
wow. Nowwww, I know what Picadilly Circus is about. before, the only way I knew anything was from the movies about London being the setting. [ Brannigan, An American Werewolf in London ]
So glad we could share more with you, Luke!
There are two Eros statue/fountains. The other (said to be the original one) is in Birkenhead park, on The Wirral. Birkenhead park was copied by the Americans to create New York's Central park.
Thanks for this excellent info
Sinead
i go there to go to japan centre i am still p off that tokyotoys not there at tracadero anymore
So many changes in the area
Nice video
thanks for watching, Richard!
I think the mouse trap is the longest running play in London maybe you said longest running musical
I think your right should have said longest running musical
Sinead
look mum, a library :O
Hi Sinead, going to london this weekend, will the pride parade 2024 affect sight seeing at places like Buckingham Palace?
Not at all
Trafalgar Square and Soho will most likely be the busiest areas but Green park through to Trafalgar on our Westminster tour should be perfect
Your skills makes me feel as if i where there.and if i where 1 gin tonic coming up lol
Hah - music to our ears, James!
Thanks for your generous donation incase Sinead doesnt get around to thanking you.
Thank you for this Trevor
Sinead
GAZ
Bob Marley brought me here, literally.
Stick around
I maybe doing a Bob Marley video soon
Piccadilly Circus was once claimed to be the The Broadway of London with ever building being lit up, now it's just a bad TV show. Isn't the Mouse Trap the longest show in the West end.
A bad tv show got us laughing, we can't lie. Yes, the Mousetrap is the worlds longest running play!
I like the Piccadilly Circus of the seventies when it was all sleazy and full of rent boys and drug addicts and dealers.
A few others in the comments have the same sentiments!
Kind of like Times Square back then
Good lord food is expensive there. 20 pounds for fish and chips is just under $34 Canadian.
And only getting pricier :(
Times Square equivalent
Very true
Thats where the protest's are held.
Indeed!
Piccadilly Circus has been “vandalised” by this soulless modernity. The neon advertising was much more artistic. They can push their wackadoodle ideologies on the public with video screens. They couldn’t do that with neon lights.
An interesting thought!
Be careful in Picadilly Circus my daughter got pick pocketed, they stole her phone.
Evil people. Always walk into a shop to use your phone, not just in London.
Definitely an area to be extra aware, Sharon, you're right!
and this? Piccadilly Circus = london's times Square?
That's a fair comparison, yes!
Lillywhites used to be the place to buy your sporting goods, but it has been rubbish for years BTW it is the English cricket team, not British.
Good catch, Stephen!
London has becomed too americanized,shops cafes, ikea,hardrock cafe,disney stores, might as well stay in America.
Bizarrely most of those places tend to be in the 'touristy' areas where Americans are visiting anyway? You won't find them in local neighbourhoods ;)
Thanks!
Thanks
Thank you sincerely Steven
Sinead
Thanks!
Thank you lovely
Thanks!

You and the crew do a get job always
