    An amazing brief tour there DJ - as a lover of london, this was great for me. The combination of the old and the new, the way its always changing but still timeless. Nowhere quite like it in the world i think. Thanks

    Fantastic as usual very interesting, nice to blow the cobwebs away in the fresh air, good bit of exercise. Love the views of Old Father Thames, Im from Manchester area and I always taught my kids and teach my grandkids to don't just look at the ground look up because the buildings are so amazing, the old shipping, banking merchant buildings are so impressive and architectural they tell a story they are living history, then you have the modern buildings , cities are such an eclectic mix of old and new, far to many people walk around with their eyes closed Thank you for opening peoples eyes and sharing those amazing sites.

      I used to spend a lot of time in London when I was very young , I had an aunt and uncle who had a fish and chip shop in Tottenham
      It was I can remember the address
      Newington Green
      Stoke Newington N16
      It was pulled down years ago but they are very happy memories I still love fish and chips LOL

    I had 2 school friends whose dads were Beefeaters in the Tower Of London. One I’m still in touch with. The other one got married in The Tower during the summer, 40 years ago so you can the tourists, they were shocked in the nicest way!

    Hi DJ. I'd have taken a left at number 1 London Bridge and then walked along the river past Hays Gallaria, the Belfast, city Hall (that was) then Shad Thames and up on to Tower Bridge. Love waking around London, especially down the river. Often catch a train to either London Bridge or Charing X and go from there. Also love using the DLR. Some fantastic stations along the Thames on their to get off and explore.

    @davidnm21 Před 4 měsíci +1

    You and me both DJ I too have never been inside The Tower Of London. Have done Tower Bridge however and it’s truly awesome the views. I used to do this walk when I lived Lee Green, I’d get the train down from Blackheath to London Bridge then walk to Liverpool Street for the train up to Norfolk, to visit my elderly mum bless her. I can remember that stunt David Blaine the American magician a few years ago outside City Hall, let’s think now what was it 30 days without food or something.

    Brilliant video as always amongst the ever evolving and changing skyline intermixed with the old and new.
    Totally agree with getting lost in London is you find the gems that you would never know about.
    Yes love the architecture of the building where the Four Seasons is located in Trinity Square, if I can remember, believe it used to be the offices for port of London authority.
    Hope all is well, take care

      Just watched the tower of London vid on telly,we done that just before lockdown at the end of December, absolutely amazing but couldn’t do the Crown Jewels as it was rammed with tourists,an hour and a half was the projected time! Although we did do the tower bridge experience imagine a wife scared of heights walking across a glass floor over the Thames and then telling she’s got to walk back again ! I did video her but will not be able to post it as I like breathing!

And the slightly over cast weather conditions were just perfect. We walk with ghosts Darren. Bloody amazing, marvellous sights. Thanks again ❤😊Allan&Family

    The main take out from the vid for me Darren was the pic, I may be wrong but felt you were asking your loyal followers what they thought of you with less hair. Though it isnt my business I for one thought you looked and think you will look fine with your hair cropped after all we are all getting older a bit of baldness never hurt anyone (ask the Mitchell brothers), PLUS who wants to remind others of Bobby Charlton. - take the plunge mad I dont think you will regret it.
