Moorings and pubs. The canal from Brentford to Paddington

The one in which I give you my thoughts on a few places from Brentford to Paddington Basin, along the Grand Union canal and the Paddington Arm of it. What pubs I recommend and where I don’t moor. Also, the restaurant where the naan bread got its own seat.

Having been brought up in Southall in the 1960’s and 1970’s the Grand Union Canal and Paddington Arm was my footpath. Interesting to hear your description of how you find the area today. Oh what has happened to all the pubs I frequented in Southall and Greenford! 😢

I love the way you do your talks …..x

Thank you Sue.

It’s like the way my soul asked me to do a talk about authenticity in my bed in my Pajamas 😂😂💕💕

I used to live in Hanwell and loved it. I missed the west London vibe sometimes. It always amazes me how you're never more than a few minutes walk from a canal in central London.

[@AlastairHilton]

It’s true that you’re close to a canal throughout a lot of London, yet it’s also amazing how many people have never been to the canal, or even know it exists in many places

An excellent review of some of the areas around London and the scummers who target good folk going about their business.

I don't know London or these areas, but I do like your videos!

I was going to say that you were being very diplomatic… until I got to about a third of the way through 😊. Maybe need to hem those curtains!

[@AlastairHilton]

Haha. Indeed. I wondered how long before someone mentioned my curtains.

Thank you, I will avoid Grand Union Paddington Arm. Not my kind of thing at all.
