I started watching John's videos during lockdown because it was the only way that my mind could travel away from home, if only virtually. Now the videos inspire me on my walks around Cambridge to really take in the the atmosphere of all the places I walk through.
I was there for this wonderful conversation. John I m the one who gave you that book on the thames after the talk. Thank u for all you ve taught this canadian about the incredible city that is London 😊
Nice to hear another Canadian Anglophile ! My wife and I moved to Norwich eight years ago and it's podcasts, books and videos like this that fuel my existence.
Thank you John and Iain, for a fabulous, informative, inspiring conversation.
What a great, great conversation John! Highly enjoyable! Thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it Ashley
Ah ha! Thank you for recording AND publishing the talk. So many good mental pictures painted by both of you in this. Unfortunately for me, I am continent and ocean away from London and can't be there in person, however, this is perhaps the next best thing. Thanks again.
As long as people who live in any particular great city have folks who are prepared to act in thier interest, then the future of the evolving city is assured.
Thank you so much for your work John. 🌟👍
Ah , what a great surprise for Sunday evening!! Awesome, thanks John and Iain 🎉❤
I’ve really got to attend one of your talks John. Fascinating stuff. I didn’t know the story about people being removed from that estate for the olympics. The authorities never fail to disgust me. Aren’t local councils meant to serve the community, not treat them like some kind of infestation?
I must buy these noble publications, forthwith!
Brilliant!!
Must certainly buy John's book 📖
A wide-ranging and enjoyable discussion with you and Iain Sinclair, over all sorts of times and places in London, and within your psycho-geographical landscapes. Thanks for presenting this.
Looking forward to seeing your talk from March 28, John, if you taped it.
i could listen to another hour of this! thanks for posting - but now, greedy child that i am - i wish there was a walk video, as well 😊
An engrossing conversation. Thank you.
So happy to see a new Iain video ! Thank you
A John and Iain weekly podcast would be phenomenal.. You know it makes sense.
Loved it
If only I were there
thank you john, brillant video.
Thanks Alex
Great talk!
I'd love to read about the old Victorian psychiatric hospitals that encircled London. I lived and worked in Napsbury during the 80s and found the history fascinating. A lot of the old asylums were self sufficient in their early years, Napsbury had it's own railway station and loading areas to pack the grown produce to go off to the central markets. Thousands of people lived there. The artist Louis Wain was a former resident as was the poet Ivor Gurney. Opal Whitely was one of the patients there who has a fascinating life story. Sadly the hospitals were mostly shut down by the 2000s. It really was a stunning place to live. The remnants were turned into a housing development famous for becoming the homes of premiership footballers who would originally have used the training grounds near where the M25 was built. (Arsenal). Great video, ta.
You’d love Iain’s book London Orbital Theo
@@JohnRogersWalks I really enjoyed that one.
Enjoyable conversation to listen to, could have listened for many more hours , thank you
Fantastic. Thanks
Great teeshirt, John -- and with our cold spell upon us, I can bundle up in my long-sleeved one again. My forebears came from the Lea Valley to the US, which is how I stumbled up on your films.
brilliant thank you
Thanks for the interesting discussion. Good to hear a mention of the Clays Lane estate- I lived there in the late 80s.
Michael: 'An Afternoon With John Rogers With Special Celebrity Star Guest: Iain Sinclair'...
Alan: Yeah, could you just put 'plus Iain Sinclair'...
53:05 - John, was that half a bottle of Blue Nun?
Great chat and upload. 'Preciate you uploading it for those who couldn't attend.
Thankfully Sue Cook pulled out so there was more wine to share.
@@rain_down_We haven't met but I liked your chat show. Has he given you a second series?
common thread to all of 'this' , is water ...The Water calls us in an ever deeply resonant way . Water carries memory and thus by association the waters tell us our past . Thank you both for being You so eloquently 💦👍
Completely agree Stuart - thanks
An absolute treat John enormous thanks for making this available. Hoping we might also get a chance to see your upcoming chat with Iain at the Wanstead Tap on here? Would make me v happy.
Having lived in Brick Lane the other side of Bethnal Green Rd, I used to wonder with my day at an early age through the market side of Brick Lane and the side streets then onto middlesex street!
Very interesting discussion John, and I'm currently really enjoying reading your new book, though it can't fail to make one very angry and to hate all property 'developers'. For nowhere epitomises the cancer that is 'gentrification' more than Soho, which has been completely destroyed, especially the lower end of Berwick St.
Terrific talk. Many thanks.....Obviously he would never have accepted the term but the psycho-geographer who always gets deepest into me is Conrad. John, I would really love a Conrad themed London walk. I know you often reference him; London docks, Thames estuary etc but a whole ramble dedicated to his London and his writing would be ... well if you ever start doing requests please bare it in mind ???
Next week. An evening with J. Rogers. Featuring the great Iain S. This is absolutely wonderful. You are the best John!
Thanks Heidi
@@JohnRogersWalks are you aware of any talks or historic walks or any history events taking place in London May 9 10th through 11th? I am visiting and would love to participate. I love your videos your enthusiasm and passion is infectious!
Thank you John for videoing this wonderful conversation, for those of us that couldn’t be there in person. Very much appreciated.
I was at your wonderful talk in Wanstead at the end of last year with Tim Burrows, out of interest, was that recorded?
Love the book. I actually quite like what has become of Stratford, at least the new housing has shops pubs restaurants arts & sports facilities and a beautiful park, there IS a community evolving there, finally.
I get more frustrated at much of the unaffordable new buildings along the Thames, owned by the super rich but not lived in, no sense community or life.
Sublime.
Wonderful, wonderful....but gentlemen, the Roman Londoners would have been horrified by Norman London. The Norman Londoners would have been horrified by the "development" or Wren, Vanbrugh and Hawksmoor. The 17th Century Londoners would have been horrified by the excesses of the Victorians.....etc, etc. Blaming Londons demise on a brief period of history starting in 1979 is a little simplistic. I am rather pleased that one can no longer buy a marmoset or a lion cub in a London street market.
Reminds me of "Future is Past" - who was it that said this?
You guys are a(n inter-)national treasure
What is it about London that makes it so endlessly fascinating? I guess this applies to most great cities, but it seems only London is imbued with some kind of ancient magic which still exerts a pull on its inhabitants.
Just managed to order a copy of your most recent book. I’ll have to carry it and the previous one around with me on the off chance I bump into you. I’d better remember to bring a pen 😊
Great video with you and Ian Sinclair, fascinating love how you talk about the multi layered city and landscape , I realised that the London that I knew in the fifties and sixties the industrial soot stained , post war bomb site slum streets is now another historical layer disappearing into the past , I think of the writing of Michael Moorcock alternative London of multiple dimensions , eternal champion and especially Jerry Cornelius also Alan Moore! I've just found your new book on Kindle so looking forward to it , cheers ❤️
thanks Leslie
Great stuff John i no this is random but i was watching the gentlemen today on netflix and noticed the filmed the bit the the side if the lee closed rd if pickets lock opposite the bench next to the lea .where i once raced a c 90 bike yrs ago were the electric power things are were the speed bunps are. Ah youll work it out as you once walked opposite it on a river lea walk this yr or last ah .
Also John, maybe yous could do video on your favourite good films , ala Patrick Keiller, Of course Andrew Kotting etc, on relevant topics, there's great old shorts on BFI like 'Just one kid' ,maybe do a Top 20 ( or Top 100😂) or something??
