Hi Rob
Those strange paving stones were laid as waymarkers for a Heritage Trail for Euston back in 2006 (there was another one for Kilburn). I came across one of these at Euston Road next to the St Pancras New Church some fifteen years ago. Took me ages to find out what they were about. Had to use the Wayback Machine.
They were done by a company called Groundwork which still exists and does projects with local authorities.
That’s brilliant, thank you! Will have to see if the Kilburn ones are still there. And yes, now I think of it 2006 is about when if remember seeing them, so 18 years ago (blimey, how is that possible) Thanks again; you’ve solved a mystery 😉
Rob ,
Thank you so very much for your stories. I lost my wife of 50 years in 2020. I became “severely depressed “ clinically and my life has not been what I wanted it to be.
Your episodes are a truly wonderful glimpses into a place I’ll never see,and the people I’ll never know. I find all of them fascinating. Keep up the good work Rob !
Bless you nilo, that means a great deal to me. I'm delighted I can help in some way; the channel will always be here for you 24/7.
Stay well my friend and thank you.
Such a shame. Go out and see these places Nilo. There are many interesting things and places if you know where to look. If you don’t know where to look you can discover them for yourself. Best Wishes.
Never say never, sir.
My father lost my mom after 65 years together, and also went through a long period of depression. My lifelong ambition had always been to visit London, and it took me 60 years, but I finally made it in 2022. I'm planning a return trip in 2025, and I'm basically going to hijack my Father and take him along.
Wishing you peace and serenity, good sir, and if Rob's videos can be your inspiration to go see this amazing city, then do so! You won't regret it.
Sorry for your loss
@@TheUluxian If you want someone to show you around all the weird and wonderful sights whilst you're here, just give me a shout. You are most welcome in London.
That the BBC hasn't given you a show to do this is an indication of they are missing the boat. This would be hugely popular over there.
The BBC is more interested in woke politics and virtue signalling now
That’s so kind of you to say Patrick, many thanks indeed! I wish they would; I could do with the money! 🤣 Thanks again and stay well.
@@Jimbo_Jumbo Nice try, but all the research and evidence shows that the BBC is in the pocket of the government: it's no coincidence that all the key senior staff are ex-Tory councillors or ex-Downing Street communications directors.
@@Jimbo_Jumbo That'll be why all the BBC's key senior staff are ex-Downing Street communications directors or ex-Tory councillors, I suppose...? 🤔🤣
So true. London is such a wealth of history and oddities
Award winning stuff Rob a Bafta award from us :) good thing I had tissues nearby. I have seen Lady with the Van brilliant film and love Alan Bennett as well. Thank you for a memorable Sunday viewing. Love all your content I hope one day you will consider writing a book on your content would be interesting reading.
Bless you, such a beautiful comment. Thank you.
This is like embarking on a magical journey through the soul of the city. The video beautifully unveils the secrets tucked away in the heart of Camden, inviting viewers to discover the enchanting stories and vibrant spirit that make this place truly unique. Another masterpiece Rob !
Such a lovely comment Rachel, thank you! 🤩
I work in Camden and walk past these places on a regular basis. It’s amazing to hear the history of it. Thank you for this video
That's really kind of you to say, thanks Sam :-)
My first TV job was in TV AM. I went on to work in MTV too. Great memories.
Wow 😉 Would love to hear some stories!
Great video Rob.
I lived in Camden Town in the early eighties. Every Sunday my "go to" spot was Dingwalls to listen to great music, lunchtime and afternoon's they had an open mic and if you were lucky you could find some of the best known musicians showing up un-announced, often trying out unreleased songs on the audience.
I have great memories of my Camden days.
Lovey comment Steve, thank you.
Dingwalls was a fine music venue,spent many good night there,
I lived on Hartland Road for almost ten years during the 1990s, so this is territory I know very well indeed! ❤Comments-readers, don't forget to share Rob's videos with friends who may wish to subscribe - let's try to get him over 100k by Christmas!
Thank you so much for all your support tragicyouth, it means a lot to me. It would be wonderful indeed if people did share and subscribe, it really does help the channel. Thanks again and stay well.
Amazing vid! I'm a Camden boy and over the years have seen everything in your video... now I know what they're about!! Nice work!!
CAMDEN RULES!
Cheers! 😉
Better than the telly….
Really appreciate that, thanks 😉
Another fantastic video! I'm so glad Arlington House still shelters some of the homeless and hasn't been turned into another trendy address only for the wealthy. Thanks Rob, I'm always glad to stop by 😊
Thank you :-)
There's no better channel about London and it's history than Robslondon on RUclips. I always learn something new too. I love London. There is no other city in the World like it. It's my home where I'm proudly from. I was born on Charing Cross Road known as Theatreland. No matter where I find myself in the World I would miss the sight and sound of Big Ben. Trafalgar Square and Tower Bridge etc. Wandering around Soho or along Oxford Street. I love Regents Park which is my favourite place to walk on Sundays. Thank you for everything you do Rob.
Bless you; thank you so much.
Your kind words have just made my weekend 😊 Love your username by the way!
Thanks again; truly appreciated.
@@Robslondon Thanks so much Rob. There's a Mozart lived here plaque on Frith Street Soho!
@@theharpsichordofmozart4258 You’re very welcome! Years ago, on my old website (blackcablondon.net) I wrote a piece about young Mozart’s time in London, I think it’s still online to read. Stay well my thanks again.
What a wonderful comment and I 100% concur.
Yet another wonderful and extensively researched documentary Rob. Your presentations keep going from strength to strength. Thanks. Lance
Thank you so much Lance.
My interest was sparked by it being close to where a great, great grandfather lived who drove the Royal Train, and an uncle who was in he RAF when Burma fell and knew the infamous railroad. And of course raised a smile at Morning Crescent it being an element in the greatest wireless comedy programme 'I'm sorry I haven't a clue!' Yet and other cracking vid!
Rob😊
Wow- that’s some family history!
Thanks for the video,it reminded me of home,I was born in Falkland road Kentish town 80years ago.i look forward to the next one.😊
Ah, thanks very much Robert! Nice comment.
Thank you for your kind reply.@@Robslondon
You're very welcome @@robertmurray6021
Spent many a good time in Camden my dear old mum was born there and lived in Camden until she passed away ,so i got to know it very well happy days,watching this video brings back many happy memories
Such a lovely comment Terry, thank you.
This was excellent. I could easily have watched another hour of it.
Thanks Darrien!
I know!! They are amazing!❤
😄@@esterbengoa6077
That was so good! I didn't want it to end!😊
Thank you for braving that weather to bring us this video. I love the little tours of such interesting things and places. My hope is that I can see it all in person one day.❤
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much Kellie. And yes; the weather was probably the worst I've filmed in so far!! I hope you get to come here soon :-) Cheers and stay well.
When the test card pigeon appeared I was like "noooo, I don't want it to end!" 😆
@darrenbertram7289 I know right?😄
😀@@darrenbertram7289
Ha ha! Sorry ;-) @@darrenbertram7289
Thank you so much for this entertaining story 👍 professionally produced indeed. It brought back the memory of my trip through Camden in my narrowboat. When we were navigating the lock we were surprised to realise that we had become a tourist attraction....so many cameras were trained upon us that we very worried we would make a gaffe and end up on You've Been Framed ! All went well and we left the lock to a round of applause....though suspecting the large group of Japanese thought we were some sort of street theatre 😂1
Ha ha! Thanks Mr John, lovely comment and thank you for the kind words.
Thanks for this. I lived in Lissenden Gardens NW5 for 15 years so know Camden Town well. This made me a bit homesick but it was good to see familiar sights, along with learning some new stories about the area.
Such a lovely comment, thank you ☺️
That takes me back. I was part of the opening credits for TV-AM. They filmed the piece where a whole load of people formed the words ‘Good Morning Britain’ near the university hall of residence I lived in, near The Downs in Bristol. David Frost was there. Basically, we all stood in the marked letters on the ground, they filmed us walking away and played it backwards - same as the pigeons you showed - they weren’t that well trained! I was in the first I in ‘Britain’. My mate wore a white hat to pick himself out. Great video, Rob, thanks for the memories.
Brilliant comment and memory Huw 😄
Thanks Rob, my work took me to walk around Camden in the 80s and this brought it all back to me. I once had the honour of visiting a member of a Punk Rock band who lived in the basement of Alan Bennett's house.
Wow! Thanks Phill 😉
Great and interesting sharing. I enjoyed watching it and loved it. Thank you Robert. 👍👍👍😍😍😍
Thank you Sharon!
I've seen tours of that area, and they always show the same old thing. This was much more fun. I don't know what time in the morning US TV stations started up years ago. I do remember as a kid watching cartoons early. Love the Muppets. Forgot he lived in London. I have Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal, have to watch again soon. Hello from a very cold Oregon US.
Lovely comment Melissa, thank you so much. Hope you're keeping well.
When I was a boy in the 60s, next door to Palmers Pet Shop, there was a wonderful model and toy shop called Ripmax, where I spent quite a lot of my pocket money.
And until 1964 (when the Camden Town one-way system was introduced), the 74 bus terminated in Buck Street, so I remember the entrance to the bunker.
Great comment, thank you.
I was hoping you'd mention the eggcups, and it was the very first entry! I lived in London and worked at MTV in the mid-'00s and had them pointed out to me, I'm pretty sure there was still some paint on them back then, they look rather glum now... Another enjoyable video, thanks :)
Many thanks John!
Absolutely fascinating. I love 'One Better Day' by Madness. It's one of their most beautiful tunes, and the ideas in it are both utterly heartbreaking and yet full of hope. One to play to someone who still thinks Madness are a comedy band.
Couldn’t agree more Brian. One of my favourite bands, and have been for many years. Stay well.
Thanks Rob, another fascinating, fact filled video with lots of interesting sights to see. I've been meaning to do a tour of Camden forever! (Last time I was at the market was about 1989, although I have been to the likes of the Jazz Café and the Green Note.) This is inspiring me to finally make a visit this Spring 😁😎
Darren, that is so kind of you- thank you! Many thanks my friend. Hope you make it to Camden this Spring... only a few weeks I hope ;-) Thank you again for your support and stay well.
Ive lived in London for over half a century and much of this was totally new to me. Such a change from the usual tourist stuff about Camden. Thanks.
I really appreciate that Diana, thank you.
Well next time I'm in Camden I need to look at more than the market n wetherspoons 😂 that was ace Rob👏👏
Cheers Dave! Hope you're keeping well mate.
I love the atmosphere that Camden has. There is no other place quite like it. Thank you so much for bringing back some great memories from the 1990's.
It's a pleasure; thanks for the lovely comment.
What an absolutely fascinating video.
Many thanks 😊
Bit late for this one Rob, great video. Always like Camden.. Hope you are well!
Never too late John 😉 Thanks for watching, all good here, cheers
rob a cool vlog sir love old camden town a great place to visit
Thanks Richard!
thanks rob keep up the good work @@Robslondon
This brought back some memories . My first trip to London in 1978 at age 18 started in Camden town. I stayed 10 days in as I recall , a college dorm building. The area was a bit rough then but being so young it didn’t matter.
Brilliant comment Doug, thank you.
Great video Rob - it should be shown in every North London school.
Thank you! I wish it could be…
Probably the best of your videos!❤
I really appreciate that Kate, thank you.
So interesting! Thanks Rob. I spent quite a bit of time in Camden in my youth and had no idea about most of these!
Thank you Dolly 😊
I used to walk around Camden when I worked in Eversholt Street, but I must have had my eyes closed as I missed most of this! Excellent video.
Ha ha! Thanks so much ;-)
Ahh...I visited my daughter 5 times while she studied in the UK & loved it so much! Last time we walked along the canal from old St Pancras church. When I took her over to start school, we took a black cab to get to her dorm. I so enjoy your channel!🇺🇸
Beautiful comment, thank you.
Rob, your pub videos gave me some ideas .... 1 the Charles Dickens pubs for example - would make a marvellous pub crawl videos. Now for the idea , could you do a video around cafes/eateries etc.
2. My friend wants to visit London. I thought the "pub" series of videos would make for an excellent pub crawl. I was wondering what we could do and decided to map out a route for us 😊 Thankyou, Thank you , Thankyou
Thanks Mewsli! I may cover some cafes/restaurants at some point... hope you enjoy your pub crawl!
Thanks so much for this Rob. As a child of Irish immigrants who came to the streets of Camden in the 1950s, I know the place very well. My parents, my aunts and uncles, my older cousins all lived in lodgings here before they married, and I lived in Harmood Street up by the Lock Market as a young child.
I'll tell you a funny story: aunt Teresa had been here a while, she knew the place and its people well. My uncle Matt, her brother, came over having lead a sheltered life in deepest rural Wicklow. He met Teresa after work one evening and they were heading up towards Kentish Town when a child accosted him and asked him for money. He'd never seen anything like it, children begging in the street. It's not that the family were wealthy back home, far from it, but no-one would descend to those levels. He ignored the child and walked on with aunt Teresa. Another one asked him for money. Then another. Each of these children had a strange idol propped up against the wall and they were asking for money for it. As a good Catholic boy Matt was aghast. Everything those back home had warned him about the heathen English was true!
Eventually he turned on the next misfortunate child and roared: I'm not giving you any Penny for your god!!!
Wow! Incredible comment Esther, thank you. Always intrigued to hear such accounts. Stay well and thanks again.
Lovely, thank you.
Thank you! ☺️
Thanks - as usual great info.
Thank you.
Evening Rob, Hope you are keeping well, Really enjoying your videos, Top Class Sir, Thank you
I truly appreciate that Dave, thank you so much my friend. Take care and thanks again!
Brilliant, thanks Rob
Thank you!
Yet another first class video from you so I now have some more locations to seek out when I am next in London I like the area around Camden as there is something for every one.
Much appreciated Tony, thank you my friend.
Thanks for another great video Rob.
It’s a pleasure Mark, thanks for watching
Thanks!
That is so kind! Many thanks indeed! 😄
Excellent as always Rob
Many thanks Wayne!
A lovely Sunday morning cuppa, paired with a Robs London video. A great way to start the day. Very interesting stuff, as usual. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much 😊
Excellent as usual. Thanks Rob
Thank you Tony.
Great video, thanks for your work!
Thanks Michael, much appreciated
Excellent Rob, as always. Many thanks
Thanks so much James. Stay well.
Born and raised in London, am 35 now:
In regards to the underground bomb shelter entrances, and when you described and showed just how huge they are inside with everything one may need to survive... There's more of them.
Some locals from areas with these 'mega shelters' know of the entrances, even when the gov cemented off the entrances.
The ones you see in your videos, are the ones you're being allowed to see. People like myself know of a few entrances in South and Southwest London (quite a distance from Camden Town), which were cemented off and do not look out of the ordinary unlike those structures.
The best you're going to get from people is that they know about them, and know where they are, but they won't tell you exactly where. Many folks have them in mind for when things go tits up, like reopening the entrances sort of thing.
Interesting, thank you
Many thanks Rob.
Cheers Jonathan.
17:35: I love the Carreras factory building even more now that I know that, during its heyday, it was apparently staffed entirely by Flappers. Most 1920's place ever. Awesome.
😄
Another brilliant video
Thank you!
I LOVE your work. Thank you.
That means a lot to me Brian, thank you. Stay well my friend.
A fascinating video as always. Many thanks Rob.
You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thanks hugely interesting and informative 😊
Thank you! You’re most welcome! 😉
Another really interesting great video Rob. Thanks for uploading...
It’s a pleasure, thank you ☺️
Fascinating as usual Rob! I love learning about London!
Thank you so much Vicky!
another great video Rob...Camden was buzzing in the 70s...saw many bands there including Clash at Dingwalls......Rockabilly and Punk was the scene at that time as well as a Mod revival....the market scene was real then, it later became a tourist farce, I remember a lot of Vietnamese and Koreans there making street food which was both good and new...you made a great video avoiding the obvious and giving us some history and some of the obscure, lady in the van for example....anyway Rob, I feel like I know you......Cheers from Thailand
Lovely comment, thank you so much ;-)
Another Fantastic Video, Rob! Congratulations!
Thank you so much!
Thanks, I used to work in a warehouse on the side of the canal in the 80s I went to work in the boot of a triumph tr7 and we had great fun working and socialising around the lock.
Brilliant comment 😉
Another excellent Sunday evening video.
Thank you Paul! Enjoy ☺️
Another absolute joy to watch Rob, thank you, looking forward to the next one.
Thank you Ted!
Another gem, thank you Rob really enjoyed watching.
Thank you so much Susan 🙂
My home is a narrowboat and a few years ago I went through Camden along the Regents Canal. I remember it was a Sunday and the place was buzzing with young people who invited me to join them for a drink at a canal side pub. Thanks Rob for another great production and rekindling a nice memory ! (A lovely RUclips video is "Barging through Old London over the Regents Canal in 1924 in colour!") Oh...a video on the Regents Canal sometime would be great !!!
Thank you Roger, lovely comment! Don't worry, I've been planning to do a Regent's Canal video for some time now; hopefully this summer ;-) Stay well.
Thoroughly entertaining and informative as always Rob, you nailed it again. Thank you so much.
Thanks so much Slycockney. Hope you’ve had a good weekend.
Cool video as always! 😎
Thank you!
@@Robslondon ☺️
Thanks again John in Chicago
Thanks John
Excellent video 😊 really enjoyed it
Thank you David!
When I worked with Rentokil pest control I worked in the tunnels beneath Camden High Street, back then they were used for storage mainly by TV companies who stored many reels to cans of tape of TV programmes, there is also a tunnel up in NW3 just up the hill from Camden town.
Wow! Would love to go down there 😉 Is the NW3 one the Belsize Park shelter?
I really enjoy your content, and it's very much apprecaited.
Thank you so much; really appreciate you watching. Stay well.
Good video,
Thanks Rob liked and subscribed. Always good to
Thank you Mike, good to have you here
Wonderful
Thank you Ben.
Great video
Thank you Chris.
What an array of great anecdotes accompanied by striking visuals
Thank you!
There used to be an indoor market in Kensington. It was amazing it was full of rooms. They were painted black, purple, dark green and gold. Loved it all shame it was closed.
As always Rob you deliver a perfect documentary come rain, hail or shine ! Another great piece of work. Thank you.
Thank you so much Muzza, really kind of you to say ☺️
Great tour of Camden, I always wondered about Greater London House's original use. Thanks 👍
It's a pleasure, thanks for watching!
Another great video, thank you. I always have to put the tv on pause on Sunday evenings as this takes priority!
Ah! Thank you so much Sparky! Really appreciate that 😉
Thank you so much Rob, for another inspiring and informative video.
I love your work and the attention to detail therein. Absolutely amazing research 💯
Best wishes 👍
Thanks so much Christine; it’s a pleasure. I really appreciate your kind words and viewership. Stay well ☺️
Thank you again Rob - Great stuff and better and better each time - I know that it's probably really hard work to research and produce these presentations, but please keep them coming.
Thank you so much 😊
Awesome Video, Rob. Im moving to London shortly from New Zealand and your videos provide great insight, thank you.
Thank you so much! Really glad I can help in some way 🙂 Hope the move goes well!
Splendid presentation, Rob. As always, thoroughly researched and authentic with fascinating tales from the near and far past.
Much appreciated Paul, thank you. Hope you're keeping well.
Great video, I thought you were never going to mention Madness, and then in the last scene.... Thanks buddy.
Thanks Michael. If you haven't seen it, have a look at my Camden's Castle pubs video; a lot more on Madness in there.
Thanks for braving the foul Weather to film this for us.
I love Camden and will try and find some of these treasures in my next visit home. Great work as always….
Cheers mate
Cheers Doug… yep, worst weather I’ve ever filmed in! It was foul 😂 Would’ve postponed it, but the weather was bad all week! Cheers and stay well 😉
Sterling work as always, lad!
Cheers! 😉
I really loved this one. These kinds of videos are my favorites of yours and they are the ones that make me say "I'll check that out for myself if I'm ever in London". In fact, if the opportunity to travel arises one day, I picture myself watching your videos, taking notes and marking places on Google Maps as part of the preparations for the trip lol
Lovely comment Cristian, thank you so much! Hope you make it here soon ;-)
Fantastic video. Thank you. I used to live in Camden/Kentish Town as a student in the late 70s/early 80s. It's still my favourite part of London.
Thanks so much Gary. Stay well.
Thank you so much Rob. I join with other commenters in praising this detailed and well researched video.
Your work is consistently inspiring and informative.
Best wishes 👌💯
I really appreciate that. Thank you ☺️
Fascinating, been to a couple of events here recently so getting to know the areaa, didn't know that Alan Bennnet's play and home were here😂love his work. Thanks once again for a really interesting video❤
Ha ha! Thanks Tomgirl 😉
I think that is one of your best. Superbly paced and scripted.
Really appreciate that Rick, thank you so much.
Thank you Rob, This is an outstanding documentary,, I once lived on Eton College Rd in Chalkfarm,, I loved it there, Some amazing memories flooding back
You’re very welcome Alan, thank you for such a lovely comment ☺️
Another great example of Infortainment.
I knew about a few, but by no means all, of these. And anyway, I very much like your personal take/presentational style on these interesting pieces of history.
Really appreciate that Stephen, many thanks indeed.
