All the castles, all of them....!
But she didn't go in the Tower of London!
Don't be afraid to make them longer and a bit more in-depth. Looking forward to next one.
One of the things I most love about London is that there is history around every corner. I have walked by All Hallows many times, but never knew about the Saxon/Roman remains inside!
Well done Vickie! Can’t wait for the next one.
and what a treat it was. looking forward to the next one =)
I've been to that "beach" which was formerly a house of easement. Next door to it is a different kind of river-based waste disposal: the wharf where they empty the City of London bin lorries in to boats for disposal.
Vicki explores Camden Town. That would be a very good episode (not just because I live there)
Noah you could co host with her.
Andrew Gwilt I'll be in London on Friday
@@SamSitar no I couldn't. I'm terribly camera shy (and I have stage fright). I have no technical ability as well. So I'd just be crap.
Loved it, and very much looking forward to more!
My first ride on the Tube on my solo vaca to London was from Sloane Square to Tower Hill Station. Loved the history around Tower Hill. Thanks for the video!
Visited this little church 2014 and have to say going down and seeing these old Roman kitchen (the rest of it) is just awesome.
Richard Whittington was one of my ancestors. Great video Vicky
Richard Whittington and his wife were childless which is why he left all his money to charity.
My favorite series is back, so excited!
Brilliant ... Jeff, more Vicki please.
That is very interesting Vicki . Keep up the good work.
That music makes me so nostalgic, I already love the video for it! :)
(And while I do love London, I especially like videos outside of London, because I haven't really been there - and big chunks of London are already quite well covered on RUclips. But of course, that's only my personal preference!)
Well done! Fantastic exploration.
Great job, Vicki. Looking forwards to the next one xx
Excellent stuff!
Great video Vicki - spoken slow and clear. Most people are in such a hurry these days and speak so fast. Well done.!
Great video as always Vicki
Brillant pure joy good balance of fun, history and very interesting
Brilliant , thankyou!
Great video. Looking forward to the next one.
Brilliant!!
Love Vicki explores :D
A great video Vicki. Well done. Cheers!
I think I'm gonna love these exploring video's !
Nice video Vicki. Thoroughly well presented.
Great video!! I don't live in London but I do come to visit regularly, there is just so much to see and do and so much history and culture to absorb one can never get bored. All these videos give great ideas of places to go visit!
A very pleasant surprise I missed the Vickie Excellent explores segments. Great theme music as well.
Great episode Vicki, reminds me of watching Tony on the old Time Team episodes. Love it.
4:29 All the castles.....all of them.....all the castles.....all of them......... :)
We have waited too long for an official series Vicki. Love the Logo
Great video Vicki
Nicely presented video.
She's absolutely right about London. Beyond the obvious, there is remarkable history almost everywhere. I was right next to All Hallows and didn't even notice. A 1,400 year old church and it barely registers.
Kindly direct me to your nearest house of easement, kind fellow...
very nice video Vicki!
Good one Vicki 👍🏻
New Logo!!! Yeah!!! And I heard "all the castles, all of them"!!! Love it.. And the running water!! haha..
2:24 The tiny door could go back to the days of coal heating. The delivery carts/trucks would come along and put a chute from the truck to the little door and the coal would flow into the basement where the furnace was. I used to live in a house with the same odd little door and in the basement was still the coal bin next to the now oil furnace.
More! More!
What's not to like? Thanks Viki.😎
I can't get enough of Vicki and here adventures. ( sorry if that seemed pervy ).
Great video.
My street has both Greek and Roman paving and mosaic underneath it, much older than London.
All the Houses of Easement. all of them... Thoroughly enjoyable, but like many, I would like to see longer videos, spending a bit more time at each venue. You've got a great presenting style. Keep up the good work :-)
Awesome😃😃😃
a 128 people toilet? that's some quantitative easement!
That little window on the church, at that height, was almost certainly a vent for the crypt.
As Vicki started at the Sundial on the top of Tower Hill Station perhaps an 'All the Sundials' video should be on the list.
Really very interesting video. I like to think I know London quite well, but I wasn't previously aware of the house of easement. The City of London is full of treasures.
I love that with the ending theme, this is basically Vicki's #AllTheCastles show!
There’s a fantastic Christopher Wren church off Queen Victoria Street called the St Andrew by the Wardrobe a little down from that square with the fountain in. It’s worth a look at even if it’s just the outside (I’ve never been inside).
Well done, Vickie. Those flat red bricks in the Roman wall are typically Roman, and are to be found all over the former Roman Empire. I like to think of the people that formed those bricks, two thousand years ago. I would think that they weren't much different from us.
London (Also many other cities as well) is amazing for the amount of history packed into such a small space, but I was expecting to see the gorgeous Church of Saint Dunstan as it isn't too far away from the tower. One of the most peaceful, relaxing spots in London. We need to see more of these Vicki Explores, you're a natural presenter.
I used to work just round the corner from that church and would sometimes go there at lunchtime. I was usually the only person there.
Great video. Now your not racing to catch the next train. You could slow down and make the videos longer.
Brilliant Vicki!! Going to be in England next May (from Canada) and doing two different days in London. You hit upon two of the spots we are taking our companions to experience. Must add the “poo place” to our tour. Just for “shits and giggles”. Love your videos ( and Geoff’s as well). Yay for Vicki Explores and All The Stations, etc., etc.
Hahaha, you even get a "crap" joke in. Flushed with success 👍
Was the wall 15 storeys high? \m/
Thank you, Vicki, for going out and doing this Explore. I look forward to more Explores!
2:15 Bit foolhardy, was it, to climb a building with a great fire burning close by?
Hi,you should do all the bus stops in the uk
I bet it was crappy to live downstream from the house of easement 🤔🤭🙄
You really are taking the piss with that pun.
baritonejp1 ...in both directions, since the tide washes both in and out.
living in the middle ages was shitty in general..
Your comment is full of it... Groan!
The next time you are in that neck of the woods you should hop onto a train to Laindon. It has not changed much since it was built.
I wish I saw this video before I visited London
Please can you come and explore Bury St Edmunds
Very interesting! Where next?
Haha you changed the song! ALL THE CASTLES ALL OF THEM. 💖
So much history in London , if your visiting look up London walks and do one of there walks .
Love your explores Vicki but i would of liked to see more of the places your visited especially the church.
All the stations theme - oh no - all the castles....
Perfect timing on this. I'm heading to London in November and looking for new things to see.
This is much bettet then Londonist Ltd RUclips Channel. Will done Vicki, this video is a 10/10 video.
Did you see the watergate in embankment park it marks the line of the old foreshore before embankement and sewer and district line sqeezed the river into current path..
Knock out stuff Vicki !!!
Also - "house of easement" LOL !!
The tiny window/door of All Hallows could perhaps have been used for handing out alms to the poor or delivering unwelcome newborns into the care of the church ?
Fun (!!) Trip
Well done Vicki. Looking forward to more.
I wish I had watched this the day it was released. Namely probably better destination than Museum for Transport, maybe. I just had five hours to spend in London on17th, Maybe next time, if they let me in after October.
Great video Vicki !👍 House of Easement...aka public toilet 😊 I love watching UK mud-larking videos, kind of makes me squeamish a bit when they pick items up without gloves 🤢 ...can't wait for more videos...take care!
Practically my walk to the station (Tower Gateway) from work, in reverse.
good vid
1:13 Not sure how it was done but the wall behind Vicki moves in the wind.
Looking forward to (I hope) All The Cathedrals.
that would be fantastic.
Tubby Clayton, of Toc H fame, was vicar of All Hallows 1922-1962.
The Cannon in Cannon Street is nothing to do with artillery but is a contraction of candlewright, the street where candles were made and sold in mediæval times.
fab !!!!!!!! love the poo house !!
All the Castles 2020!!
The little door/window wasn't "quaint"?
YaY the Viki Explores theme! \o/ (hahaa all the castles)
The shape and width of old father Thames hasn't changed it has been changed by man . When one thinks of the Docklands which was once open water at high tide and boggy salt marsh at low tides, home to vast oyster beds, the staple cheap food for Londoners at the time, the change over the past 300 years has made the whole City and surrounding areas unrecognisable to Samuel Pepys should he come back for a look.
Tony S should he come back for a peep
After showing us where 128 people eased themselves at one time, we move a short distance to Whittington Gardens to see the world's first and largest bidet :-D
looking through your comments I see various interpretations of what the little window was for. I can't say for this particular window but usually they are known as 'leper's windows' or lychnoscopes so that undesirables could still access the service - guess the clue is in the title.
Wow! Jeff immortalized in bronze at a request stop.
May I suggest a couple of things you might want to do -either here or on the Londonist workplace one- One being the Gates of the City of London and their location and history (I have walked London Wall which is interesting- always go in both directions as its interesting what you miss if just going in one. The other is the Churches Within, and Without and the St Botolph's Churches - the one at Aldgate is worth looking inside at the artwork and do they still do some charityable work from it ?
2:30 'Cute little door' will be an Alms box or grating I presume.
0:00 I like the new intro
Vicki - Please could you do a map that viewers can pause on to pin point the historic buildings and location you are describing, not everyone knows London inside out, thank you. David from Historic York.
All the castles? Is that a secret series?
Nice video when did you decide to go a bit rocker with the Nose Stud Vicki
Emo Vicky
Is "All the Toilets"next? lol
The small window is probably for an anchorite, someone like a hermit. They would have voluntarily been walled up inside a room in the church, with only a small window for someone to pass food inside and take wastes away. They would have spent the rest of their life there.
As always, a great video. But much too quick. You should do historical travel videos for PBS in America. Videography is surpurb. Good camera angles. I never knew London had a wall.
Fascinating. When did they build the outer part of the church? It doesn't look 1400 years old.
ChasMusic a lot of the church was rebuilt after WWII because of damage during the Blitz.
@@VickiPipe Thank you.
