The theatres, the galleries, ,the gigs, the museums, the restaurants, the buskers. Day or night it's still as magical to me as when I was a boy. It's the centre of the Universe as far as I'm concerned.

    we didn't go this year because of coronavirus and we're getting older and he's beginning to have his own life now. I have autism, don't have to many friends and I haven't really interacted with anyone this year because of covid. i hope knows how much i appreciate time we spent with each over going to London a stuff.

      @@robk5159 @Rob K Plus ca changes! Couldn't agree more. A large city that stays the same year after year would be a very strange thing. What I've noticed in recent years though is the increasing speed and extent of change. I recently revisited a place I knew well and worked in for years but it had changed so much that I just couldn't find my way around there anymore. You can walk down streets and find places you saw only a few weeks beforehand have vanished and been replaced by something else. Some things are more permanent though, like the walk along the South Bank from Westminster Bridge to the Globe and Tate Modern. Great walk on a sunny day! Love the new modern buildings such as the Walkie Talkie, the Gherkin and Cheesegrater but I hope they continue to keep the tall buildings down the City end and don't interrupt the traditional the low-rise skyline. It's always nice to be able to still pick out Saint Paul's.

    49:50 On the right that's Kingly Court. One of my favourite places to hang out with a bunch of bars and restaurants in this cool little court that has a bunch of levels. Shoryu Ramen is awesome, so is Pizza Pilgrims and there's an underground bar that has one of the original tube stations called Cahoots.

    a city full of joy and amazingly hospitable people! If you go there as a tourist , Londoners look you in the eye , when you speak to them or ask for directions , as if to say "where you been mate, welcome back" You cant make that up! You got to go there to the West End , to see for yourself !

    My annual visits to London in the 1980s were at Xmas, and the pedestrians were far fewer than we see in this video, although the major shopping streets were shoulder-to-shoulder. Elsewhere in town, I found it much easier to get around. I stayed at the Shaftesbury Hotel, now called the Piccadilly, which is handy to the West End theaters.

    • @asimealmuharrmi
      @asimealmuharrmi Před 4 lety +1

      The rain made the movement of people's bodies more elegant as they walk, because when they carry umbrellas they make their bodies as straight as possible to be under the umbrella, and also their feet move at steady steps as they walk, they lift it and do not pull it so that their shoes and clothes do not wet.. The rain made the movement of people's bodies like the movement of the aristocracy where the back is taut, the head raised, the steps steady and not seesaw

    • @asimealmuharrmi
      @asimealmuharrmi Před 4 lety

      Also, the sound of London is changing significantly. I mean the noise of the city in London is changing its vibrations. This makes me remember the Germans when they discovered that the sound of London changed when the weather changed, the Germans were able to know the climate of London by ringing the bells of Big Ben, where the sound vibrations of a clock Big Ben changes when London's atmosphere becomes cloudy, and in this way the Germans took advantage of this note to determine the right time to bomb London.. London Radio was broadcasting the ringing of Big Ben's bells at every hour, providing news

    • @asimealmuharrmi
      @asimealmuharrmi Před 4 lety

      And this video proves this information to me, because the sound layer of the noise of the city of London changes significantly, as if London speaks in multiple languages, or the tone of its noise changes as the weather changes

    • @asimealmuharrmi
      @asimealmuharrmi Před 4 lety +1
