    I love your videos. Walking in the rain around old buildings is a favorite pastime of mine, it really lowers my blood pressure. Thanks for lingering around a few areas like restaurants, it provides a welcomed break from walking. The quieter the streets, the better for me.

    wow! this brings back memories! I worked in the Gate House building, 1 St Johns Square, the 60s looking building on the left, through the Gate House archway, near the red shuttered newsagent on the corner! 84-99 Sad to see the signage on the building gone! The Clarekenwell Social next to us was called the Three Horse Shoes pub! St johns Path was the trek everyday to get to Farringdon station! that alleyway was like walking through Charles Dickens era! still looks the same! thank you for sharing!

    I always find your walks so educational as well as visually interesting.
    It's funny how the names of places and streets always go back in history with there origins.
    It's also great to see the British sense of humour is alive with the mural of the cow wearing a face mask.
    Thank You.
    I have never walked around this part of London so it was great to come and explore it with you.

    I truly admire and appreciate your effort in making these wonderful touring videos. But I really hope you are taking care of your health and staying warm. With covid cases on the rise again and cold weather it can be risky to walk around like this.
    Hopefully on my next trip we can catch a cup of latte or something. 😊
    Stay healthy dear 👍

Obviously I heard of it etc but unaware of how interesting it is. Thank you. This is truly going to be the loveliest Christmas treat to myself and my camera. A day out in Farringdon etc

Love the history as well and you always find these interesting side alleys/lanes to explore. You are almost at a well-deserved 25 K subscribers, well done! It is our Thanksgiving holiday in the US and thanks as always for all your great and educational walks, I appreciate all your efforts! Cheers!

    I've watched quite a few of your videos now, Sanpo Stroll and I have to say that your channel is in a class of its own. You have a very good eye; it's the way your camera lingers on certain objects and details. I guess you could call it an artistic or aesthetic sense. Farringdon has a fascinating mix of buildings from many eras and those narrow alleys are quite atmospheric. Cheers, from New Zealand.

    Hi Sanpo, Thanks for sharing, I appreciate your little snippets of information, they add to my enjoyment of the film. I didn't know Smithfield was moving out of London, although I'm not surprised, as the other big markets moved out of C London long ago.
    This is such a historic area, but it doesn't feature very often on the tourist map.
    You can't resist an alleyway!! Passing Alley seemed surprisingly busy, considering how few people were around.

    oh my thank you for this! I've been looking into Cloth Fair and East Passage as my great grandparents lived on Cloth Fair in 1905 and used to go to the Old Dick Whittington pub 2 houses down at #24. Your walk took me right past their old house (demolished in 1914 but house number remains same). Then the walk down East Passage (where they moved to in 1907 and gave birth to my grandmother. Love this

    Hello Sanpo
    Thanks for the great walk. At St Bartholomew church yard you walked by the bench were I took a lovely picture of Sandra on our first trip to London in September 2012. On our list is to visit inside the church. Love all the small little alleys and passageways. We saw the business called The Rookery, which most means there most have been a Rookery in this area not a very nice place to live in. Thanks again Chris and Sandra of Canada.

    物価、医療費がとても高く物価の安い東京近辺に帰国しょうと考えていたのですがコロナのpandemicがはじまつてしまいました。

    The narrow alleys you go down are intriguing and a little creepy. So narrow they look like one person could barely pass but yet are wide enough for two. Enjoyed the gentle rain, so calming thank you

  • @trish6150
    @trish6150 4 года назад

    Another fab walk. Please take care. In this one at 12.01 mins when you are panning around charterhouse square the Art Deco building is the one used in the David Suchet version of Hercule Poirot show. Looks a little shabbier in real life but was a good walk to find it anyway.

    Farringdon and Clerkenwell are great areas to walk. Unfortunately many old buildings were destroyed both in WW2 air raids and by insensitive rebuilding. However it’s still a good area to explore and at night many streets have a great vibe particularly in Summer with loads of restaurants and bars.

    Bonjour Sanpo, merci pour cette vidéo qui me rappelle deux beaux souvenirs à Barbican. En 2014 lors d'un séjour dans la capitale Anglaise, nous sommes allés voir le très bel immeuble de Florin Court, en face de Chaterhouse Square, où se trouvait l'appartement de la série Hercule Poirot et en 2015 un concert en cadeau à Barbican Center 👍🏽L'église St Bartholomew et la Chartreuse sont très belles, les passages et les allées de ta vidéo sont super sympas. Merci de braver les intempéries pour notre plus grand plaisir et prends soin de toi 👍🏽😊
