This is EXACTLY the type of thing I would want to be doing if I were to go to London. It would have to be a months long trip, as there's much too much glorious history to uncover. Too many responsibilities keeping me in relatively close vicinity to home when I do get to travel, but that's ok. More time to save towards an epic English immersion.
It's just a National Trust site, I can recommend any of them all over the UK. Membership is so worth it since it gives you unlimited entrance to all 1000+ different places they own. My closest NT site is Mount Stewart in Northern Ireland, big beautiful grounds and you can tour the house. Most are like this but this London one is particularly small in terms of gardens and walks because it's London lol I haven't actually heard of this specific one before, there are hundreds all over. If you're going to do a month's long trip you'd definitely not want to spend too much time in London, it's almost like an independent city state like Singapore and nothing like the rest of the country. If you visit, hope you have a fantastic time in the UK, you can fly from London to Belfast for about £30 each way and Northern Ireland is the most under-visited part of the UK by far but brilliant.
I’m biased but the hidden gems in London alone are wonderful. National Trust is great advice, it is worth seeing so many places around the country. Are trains are pretty good and the fast trains clean and reliable. I hope you make it over.
Been many times. I think some of the harpsichords were Handel’s. George Romney’s studio was just across from the gates and you have to visit The Hollybush Pub just a few steps away 😇😎

The internet has a sense of humour today. First thing I see: a notice from Richmond Park saying that dogs must be kept on leads for the season. Second thing I see: Fenton house. ;)
I'm Sorry! All I could think of the moment he said "this is Fenton House" was of the RUclips clip of a dog called Fenton chasing after deer in Richmond Park. While the owner shouts "Fenton!" vainly trying to get the dog to heel! Everything after that comment about the name of the house was lost to time.
One of my ancestors lived near there in the 1700s. Her surname was Dalmeida. First name Rachel or Rebecca I think. I believe her family was Portuguese and had come to London following the Inquisition. I’m wondering if there is anything more you know about the area or can you point me to where I can find more information. ☺️☺️

I'm related to George Washington! 😊
I love beautiful old historical architecture. Thank you
❤
Work on correcting the poor grammar in this. “him and his son”? No, you ass. “He and his son”
Worked on this building back around 1994
Did you enjoy it ??
@@ashraf2661 it was work and i got paid.
Me too in 1793 and yes I'm old..
Did you want a biscuit?
@@mehere337..a whole packet please...HobNobs if they have any.
I like the pine cone, on a napkin, on the piano stool. Excellent way of saying don't sit here 😂
😊that is funny.
That's an invitation to some people! 🤣
What a beautiful Place to visit...❤

Canadian here.... Visited a few Years ago... Amazing Place.... Great Collection of Antique Keyboards
I always think of Hercule Poirot when I see such beautiful places from England ❤
😂

A great place to visit for sure!❤
Thank you ! An interesting visit .... Well done 👏
They sometimes have concerts of early music there too
Fenton! Jesus Christ.
I came here for this.
😂 ...there is another classic hot on the heels of Fenton... Google 'Steven, horse' you won't regret it
I also came here for this 😂
🐕🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌
I've been there. They have _lovely_ apples nearby.
"Him and his son made various changes
. . .". ------ grammar, grammar, grammar ! ! !
I’ve been there. Lovely house.
Wonderful ! Thank you so much!
Lovely…but the proper grammar is “HE and his son James…”
A beautiful place to visit.❤❤❤
Every time I come across your videos I have to check if it's Max Fosh or you
Lived round the corner from there for 3 years ,great area left end of 2021
“Him and his son” makes my ears hurt.
Me too. Very disappointing from a well spoken British person as it's the kind of gaffe that American kids would do.
What should it be, please?
@@oabuseer He and his son.
@@oabuseerA good way to remember is to remove 'his son'. The remaining grammar gives away the error-him had XYZ, him did XYZ, him is XYZ.

Good luck getting there through the protesters and muggers
Beautiful!
Un bijou !
Uchhh don't come to Hampstead on the weekend. It's heaving with tourists and you're all deeply annoying.
All I did was loosely grope you 🤷
Check out Ham House in the south west of the city
Beautiful! Love to visit here❤❤❤

Lovely house but knowing it was donated to the National Trust means I won’t be visiting it!
Why?

Fascinating and beautiful

Love it thanks from Switzerland
Wow!!
beautiful • thank you
It looks great

"Oh Jesus Christ - FENTONNNNNN!!!"
Thank you! ♥️ I'm starting to fall in love with you, man!
I love your videos
Beautiful 🕍
I want to see this. BTW, it's "HE" and his son James. Love you!
Love this fact 🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍

Cool!
Hmm. Gentrification in the colonial era.😊
Amazing
Omg brilliant! I’d no idea this was open to the public …
oh how lovely ... an Orchard
I love the wallpaper
when you said the name of the house all I could think of was the dog chasing after the deer and his owner getting irate trying to get him back XD
I like your accent, like music to my ear
Unfortunately it was closed when I walked past it while on my “Joolz Guides” walk in March.
fenTOOON !! FENTON!!! FEEENNNNN TOOOOON!!!
I wonder if Mr. Gee ever moved to America before its independence from England.

Camden Local Studies and Archives Centre and,

Sims 3 have all the doors and window variation👁👄👁 (except tall window in the back)
That’s really an FU move when your relatives would rather leave their money to the town than you!
I worked on this building in 1708 and yes I'm old..
*FENTON... FENTOOOOON!!! OH **_JESUS KRRIST!_*
*"He and his son..."
Nice place.
🤨🤔🤫♥️❤️💯👍
“HIM and his son.” NO!! “HE and his son.”
Teaching English to an Englishman. Tsk tsk.
I from Congo,, I want to live there,,I asylum man,need help
He and his son. Not him and his son. Oh my gosh. What is happening in the world.
Most of my family were already American colonials by the late 17th century.
beautiful..
is landlord excepting housing benefits??😂
Londonistan has become extremely expensive due to the influx of Russian oligarch money.
This is most likely a filming location as well.
Yes, it has been:
Clarissa. 1991. TV Mini Series.
Mansfield Park. 1999.
Dancing on the Edge. 2013
Operation Mincemeat 2021.
Exactly my thoughts too. Fennnntooon. 😂
HE and his son... NOT HIM and his son!
There’s a fresh water spring that turns into a major sewer as it gets through London
You mean the River Fleet I believe. Gives its name to Fleet Street but is all underground there.
He and his son James...NOT him!
Definitely not aristocrats: "Trade".
You sound like Caroline Bingley in Pride and Prejudice.
the gate is the Album cover for????
What was the original cost of the house in the £Sd of the day?
Close to the meat
"Fenton.... Fenton!.... FENTON!.... FEEENNNTOOOONNN!!!!!! OH GOD"
Fentanyl House
And that certain Washington's son, went on to kill a many Englishmen!
Gee thats interesting
Knowing people with that surname, you pronounce it 'jee'.
Nope, I'm disabled.
LOL
Why do you say "Him and his son"? Speaking as a proper English gentleman on the video, you must know that it's "He and his son".
Is it National Trust?
Yes.
Did you even listen to the video?🤦
Why do you and Max Fosh sound alike? 😅
Maybe because they're from the same area?
Why does it have PVC windows ?
It doesn't!🤦
"Him and his son..."
I expect so much better from Britain. Cringey.
Is this Georgian architecture?
No, just before it. It was finished in 1693 so is from the Stuart period which was
1603 to 1714.
@@moragmackay3597 thank you.
Def had slaves there
Built with slave money
Who cares. Everything in Society is built on Slavery anyways.
Prove it.
Why don’t they put some refugees o there ?
Could fix sixty eight to a room. We need to squeeze as many in as possible.
@@tpower1912😂
Why? Because it'll ruin the infrastructure !
Not very central is it so St James,Kensington and Buckingham Palaces have more empty rooms to spare.
Hearing "Him and his son..." Made me cringe so hard my ears rang!
