Join Free Tours by Foot on a journey behind one of London's busiest thoroughfares - The Strand. London's hidden gems are tucked mere metres away from the city's crowds and Sinead is here to take you there. View a hidden Georgian neighbourhood, the former home of an American Founding Father, stand on the site of a former graveyard and glimpse the location of London's Roman baths as well as finding out where exactly you can meet Sinead!
You'll see the home of one of London's strangest museums, get up close to a disused Underground Station (ghost station), see the beautiful cherry blossoms at St. Mary-le-Strand and go inside The King's Chapel of St John the Baptist in the Precinct of the Savoy - better known as the Savoy Chapel - a pre-reformation hidden treasure.
This walk will take you through time with Roman ruins, Medieval sites of worship, Georgian townhouses and to the modern campus of one the most prestigious universities in the United Kingdom.
Come with Free Tours by Foot as we explore all the secrets of the Strand!

I will be walking in all the areas they lived in. St Pancras, Marylebone, Pimlico, Islington, Willesden. I’m so excited!! Love your tour videos!❤
Wonderful! Islington is the home base for a few on our team. We hope to see you on a tour while you are here :) www.freetoursbyfoot.com/london-tours/

Thanks Sinead another wonderful video! It's amazing what you can find on the backstreets of a major city. One of the thinks I found most interesting when I was in London was the different kinds of architecture. London is such a beautiful city

Interesting and informative. When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life” - so said Samuel Johnson to his friend and biographer James Boswell.
Hear hear!
I love learning new aspects of London.
We love to share them with you :)
I'm so glad to see you again! You are always so interesting to listen to. Thank you for this. ❤
Our pleasure, as always, Abby!
Thanks for a very interesting tour. As an American living in Ireland, I've wanted to visit London and Windsor and have a list of sites I'd like to see. But thanks to this video I'm including Benjamin Franklin's residence!
Anytime you come over am always available x
@@FreeToursbyFootLondon I will definitely keep that in mind!
Thank you for another great video Sinead ♥️

There are many, many of we Americans descended from Edward I & Eleanor (myself included), thanks for sharing that. Would love to see the eye glasses museum, very cool. Didn’t Pepys write a lot about the plague? Love your tours, well done.
Pepys diary about The Great Fire is our encyclopaedia
Must look up his writings on The Plague
Sinead
Great historical tour 👍
Delighted you enjoyed it

Glad you enjoyed it!

I didn't know about the Benjamin Franklin house. What an awesome tour!❤ Thank you Sinead!
Glad we could show you something new, Allie :)
Great job Sinead. Really enjoyed the tour ❤
Delighted you enjoyed it
Thank You for ALLLL your wonderful Tours💜 Sending Love From Toronto Canada 🇨🇦.
You are most welcome!
@@FreeToursbyFootLondon 💜
Just found this channel and I love it! Thank you❤
Welcome, Angela! We are glad you found us :)
That was a rare sight today, a phone box with an actual phone. Doesn't BT or whatever they call themselves now realise that often mobile masts and landlines connected by optical cables don't work in a power outage and one needs a copper wire connected phone to still be able to make a call.
Not all of them work Tony
They are listed buildings so will always be there
Most are now WiFi spots but thank for they’re protected
Another fascinating tour of such a fascinating city. I am very impressed by Sinead's knowledge of present-day London as well as the colorful history of the city. Even on a gray day in late March, London is beautiful. Greetings from the southwestern USA and thank you once again!
Thank you sincerely for such a wonderful comment
Sinead
I'm so pleased to see another of Sinead's fabulous tours!
I first found these tours when I tripped over the Jack the Ripper tour and have watched several others as well.
I love this tour because it is exactly the sort of thing I love to do when I visit new places.
When I first visited London years ago, I walked from Whitechapel to Baker Street one day, just looking at things.
I looked in shops, visited pubs and had a fabulous time just seeing what sorts of things were along the way.
Wonderful!
So pleased you enjoyed it!
What a great tour! You are so knowledgeable! Love the secrets! Hoping to be there before too long! Keep up the good work Sinead!
We hope to see you when you get here!
Wonderful tours Sinead Thanks. Saw the ' Walk with Tim ' Jack the Ripper ' tour. - Thought you were great!
Think the royal connection is plausible! The madness you know & the attempted clean up! Most interesting
story. So I will subscribe from now on.
I lived in London 1990 - 2010. Liked China Town. I worked my way through & had a miracle job for some W1. Christian Armenians & a miracle flat in York St. W1. - it was cheap in the nineties & when I needed it. Jesus is good & provided! Thanks for that Lord!! I started with Icthus Church & Christian house share in New Oxford St.
& finished up, after the flat of 11 years @ a pub - The Wargrave - Lord Wargrave now I believe, with Irish Garry. We had a lot of fun there with the team. He moved from W1. so I returned to the South West. He is now at the Monkey Puzzle Pub in Sussex Gdns. W2. London has so much history. Bless for now.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Sinead .🙋
You are most welcome, Trish!
Great tour as always! Fun fact, the alleyway to the left of the Queens Chapel is where Bob Dylan filmed the famous Subterranean Homesick Blues video with Allen Ginsburg
Omg I should have known this what amazing info
I did read this somewhere thank you
Sinead
Thanks for this Sinead. Btw, you did know you were filming Benjamin Franklin's neighbours house? Benjamin Franklin lived in 36 Craven Street (the brown door).
Somebody else pointed this one out too - thank you for the correction!
Very interesting. There's a replacement Eleanor Cross in my hometown but it's much more modern and nothing as beautiful as the one at Charing Cross you showed.
How interesting where your hometown
Was it en route from Lincoln to Westminster Abbey

This was excellent!
So pleased you enjoyed it
Sinead
I would love to see a tour of all the places we can't visit, but I'm not sure how you would go about it. Although, there were lights on inside that station- someone is home!
Where would you like to see ?
Watching a lot of CZcams today and this was the best one and made my day !! I will be in London in May and I noted a few places from your video to see. So happy you made this one. Take good care Sinead. You are such an amazing tour guide and always enjoy when I see you !!!

Ben Franklin's house on Craven Street is #36, the one with the brown door, not the red one at #37.

@@FreeToursbyFootLondon Happy Easter to you too.
Ill be bringing some Ex Military to London next month and that old pubs tour would be fantastic.
Save us doing the Circle line pub crawl.
Ill let you know when and we will book.
Though warnings it might have to be an all day booking as I think this could get messy.
@@parasinthephilippines I’m am there yesterday
Would love to meet you all x
You are amazing personality and knowledge wise. I'd recommend you for my brother:)
Seriously, Ive been in my capitals and none beat the memories of London, just so much history. If you can afford one trip in your love, pick London, hands down
We feel the same about our city!
9:16 I think the guy who actually invented these lamps was a guy galled Webb, who was from Birmingham (UK). he got quite rich from it , but they soon fizzled out. Always love your vids, Sinead x P. S immediately after that, in the archway you went under was where Bob Dylan filmed 'Subterranean Homesick Blues', which was (I think) the first pop video ever filmed
Love all the extra info - thanks for sharing, Clive!
Hello and Thanks ❤ Have a nice day
And back to you! :)
@@FreeToursbyFootLondon Thank you !
👍 great vlog.
Thank you Renee
another top class and interesting video Sinead :)
Thank you sincerely for your lovely comment
Great information lived in london all my life and every day I hear something new ❤
Aw, we love to get approval from our London locals :)
I went to the Franklin Museum many years ago. I do recall that they were having trouble raising funds for the restoration of the building because the British are not familiar with him, even though the British use many of the items Franklin invented. For example, bifocals, swimming flippers or fins, the lightning rod, the odometer, Franklin Stove and urinary catheter. Also, if you visit St. Bartholomew the Great, behind the main alter was the first printing room that Franklin used. In Philadelphia, where I live, he created the first library, the first zoo and the first hospital. He lived in London for many years and was quite the celebrity. Glad you showed this in your tour - just wished you said more about him. Jane Philadelphia
With such incredible information provided Jane
I will certainly look into a much more detailed tour on Franklin
Thank you for the incredible insight
Sinead
Thanks Sinead as usual loved that church
Stunning isn’t it
Ha I was the 1000 like I love this channel . I must get down to London very soon .
Come see us Tracy
Thanks for the 👍
Somerset House was one of the scenes in the film "Last Chance Harvey" with Emma Thompson and Dustin Hoffman.
Haven’t seen this
Love a good movie will have a look
That lamp post looked like a piece of artwork. I had no idea they were powered by methane sewer gas. Just amazing….
Glad we could share something new with you :)
