@somerandomvertebrate9262 Hi There. I get exactly what you mean! I guess, us Londoners have "just grown used to them." I definitely prefer the old, over the new though = much more charm & character.

@roncasperson1312 Hi There. Its a great little area, isn't it! We are spoiled for history, in London. I'm with you on that = even having lived in London, all my life "the history & beautiful architecture = still amazes me." No problem at all, really glad you enjoyed the tour + thanks for the lovely comment.

@mancroft Hey there. Thanks for that. I'm glad you found it interesting! No problem at all = its a pleasure, to share London's history.

@heliotrope6217 Hi there. No problem at all, glad you enjoyed. Ah rite, a,lot moved out due to bombing + slum clearances after the war. This is a fascinating little patch of London, & still more to come, from Bermondsey.

@@mavisemberson8737 Hi Mavis. Yes indeed = surprising really "how long, sone of these bombsite, were around." Took a long time to recover, didn't it = financially & on architecturally.

@leebadenoch6313 Hi Lee. It was called the Lord Raglan. Empty for years, then eventually taken down, to make way for thr new flats.

@YellowLegoBrick436 Thanks for this info = I'm no expert on Campanology "So, really do appreciate these details."

@barzeyadna Hi Edna. Hope you're well. Yes, it is a beautiful old one, isn't it! Full of charm & atmosphere. No problem at all. I'm glad you enjoyed, + thanks for the lovely comment!

@@babyalienseverywhere184 Thanks ever so much for this! Much appreciated.

@@davidsheridan1699 A great memory to have 🏆✌️

@davidsheridan1699 I'm with you on that, David "they don't make comedy like that anymore, sadly." Are you being served, was another favourite + am currently enjoying You Rang Me Lord 💙👌

@davidsheridan1699 Hi David. Ah rite, I think you're right, about it being a scarlet fever hospital. Funny you saying that = my Nan, was a cleaner there in the 60s, & she "always swore blind, that it was haunted." ✌️

@turnipgirl11 Hi Catherine. Fcuk indeed = lol tell her London Luke sends his very best regards, should she make an appearance 😉. No serious though = listen out for the creaky floors & stairs in the early hours. Amazing place & full of history!! Hope you'll enjoy West Wycombe. Ghosts n all, lol..

@mavisemberson8737 Good afternoon Mavis. Yes, you're not wrong there "I've been reading up on the activity of the bridge, in yesteryear." As it'll be featuring soon, in an upcoming post! Mad to see the Thames so busy & bustling "in the old photos" compared to nowadays. Yes, sadly not as it was = only opening around twice a day now.

@@mavisemberson8737 No problem at all, Mavis = thanks for watching.

@judywanda Hi Judy. No problem af all, glad you enjoyed/found it informative. I'm a keen family historian myself "so, its lovely when I visit a place, & one of my viewers has ancestral connect to the place" love that!! Your ancestor William "lived through a very interesting era = the Tudor/Elizabethan period." Ah rite, a big hello from East London = thanks for watching + for your lovely comment.

@ellavanderpol476 Thanks Ella, it has a fascinating history! No problem at all.

@@lablackzed Couldn't have put that any better myself!! Sadly, some things never change, ay.

@kurtsmith2547 Pmsl Kurt 😅 you've actually pretty much, hit the nail on the head! The bedsheets for curtains brigade 😏

@bobcakebread5720 Hi Bob. It was indeed! A history to be proud of, ay. Ah rite = you'll no doubt, have some great memories of the old boxing club then.

@lablackzed I'm with you there!! Sadly = a lack of funding, & caress attitude from the city high ups. It deserves better, doesn't it. Yes, the watchers are ever watchful, & freedom of speech = well, what can we say 🤷‍♂️

@Norbert-Fall-asleep Hope you're enjoying the sights 🙂 We do have to amazing architecture & history, in & around London 👍

@cosborne2614 Thanks, glad you found it interesting! No problem at all = its a pleasure, to share London's history.

@kevinhouse7143 Hi Kevin. No problem at all mate = its a pleasure to share an historic gem, like this. Amazing plsce, isn't it! Always worth a visit ay.

@@londonluke6487 Every time we are in town for sure. That one and the George over in Southwark.

@@kevinhouse7143 That looks another great location = its on my ever growing list. Thanks Kevin.

@wendybrown5935 Absolutely = couldn't have put that any better myself, Wendy!! So much of their work "for obvious reasons" goes unseen & unpraised! + this was one hell of a case.

@wendybrown5935 Ah bless you & thanks for such a lovely comment, Wendy! That really means a lot + its great to have you on-board the channel. Oh rite, you'll remember many of the places, well then = massive changes over the last 10+ years though. Fast becoming a city of steel & glass skyscrapers. Thanks Wendy, glad you enjoyed the tour "great old pub, isn't it." Yes, we are indeed = so many beautiful & historical sights, to see in London! Thanks again for the lovely comment.

@cassiecavataio2982 Hi Cassie. Yes indeed, I'm totally with you on that! Beautiful + literally oozing with history. This is a very special place.

@brucestorey3400 Hi Bruce. Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video! Yes indeed, well observed "& not a single head, buried in a mobile phone." Massive changes, & 120 years, isn't all that long "in the scale of things" is it. God only knows, what they'd make of our world today.

@XanderGurkin Hi there. Thanks = glad you enjoyed the video! A remarkable man, & we're lucky enough "to be able to see the results, of his photo taking spree."

@@Chasworth Great old pub, isn't it 🍻👌

@DagenhamGilly Hi there. Sorry for my late reply = Had a lot going on recently. That's a great memory to have, & thanks for sharing it! Yes, sadly brass rubbing "has become a thing of the past." The old-school vicars, were much more easy going. Same with bell tower visits = once usually an easy ask & permission given = nowadays, near impossible "due to health & safety."

@bearsagainstevil Hi there. Sorry for my late reply = had a lot going on recently. Yes, indeed "that's the thing with slavery = an ugly truth that doesn't often get aired" = That the slaves, were mostly sold into slavery, by the own people. Same with free African Americans & Native Americans, owning slaves. No excuse, but we were the first country to end it.

@rathertiredofthemess2841 Hi There. A common terminology. But, get what you mean ✌️

@JimMac23 Hi Jim. That was the doing of King James VI of Scotland & I of England! Mary was originally the sole occupant, of the vault "she now shares with her Sister Mary." When Elizabeth died, she was originally laid to rest with her grandparents Henry VII & Elizabeth of York, on their vault." When James became king, "he'd earmarked Elizabeth's place for himself = & had her moved into her Sister's vault" adding indult to injury, by placing Elizabeth's coffin on top of Mary's. He then had his executed mother moved from Peterborough Cathedral to Westminster in 1606. Having fine tombs built for the much loved & mourned Elizabeth "with but the scarcest mention of Mary I." & had an "ever so slightly larger one, built for his own mother, Mary Queen of Scots." I'll do a piece on Elizabeth I, being moved, when I carry on with my "restless royal Corpses series." ✌️

@monicacall7532 She was indeed "an intensely clever lady + the heart of a Lion." I often think of her, as the true founder of The Tudor dynasty. No problem at all = always happy to share interesting history, like that of Margaret Beaufort 🙂✌️

@ryanharris7701 Cheers Ryan 🙂✌️
