    All the little alleys remind me of Victorian London you see in some many films and pictures etc, and Frying Pan Lane, 😂😂😂 love that. And you are right Darren that is a “Pub Pub” not many traditional boozers left, there are a lot of Gastro pubs around these days, Great interesting video, a big thumbs up 👍 from me 😆😉

    Hi Darren I've really enjoyed watching your videos on your travels around London, we have been twice and stayed in Spittalfields. We were on Brick Lane and never even went for a curry because we had so much to see and do! next time we will go to City Spice and hubby will definitely be going to Humble Crumble he loves a Rhubarb Crumble. You have showed us best places for breakfasts, street food and Pie & Mash thankyou for giving us a wonderful insight into amazing London City I have fell in love with the place xxx

    There is all the main markets you mentioned, but there is of course all the markets outside the stations, Barking, Whitechapel, along bethnal green road... Unbelievable how diverse and what's on offer in London and it's suburbs... Amazing. ( That was all in a couple of hours I was there by the way)

    a few years ago we had an airfield about 10 mins away from my house with a "car " it made it so easy to travel just like take a weekend in London was super easy and the flight ticket cheap like nothing and it was pretty fast to get there just a maybe total travel time around two hours from home to hotel, but next summer we going to visit London or Liverpool or maybe both if the vaccines work as the should and it is all free to go:) thumbs up from Norway :)

      Hi Darren, i think you would find it very interesting if you walk from Liverpool street station towards moorgate, There's an escalater which takes you about 30 feet above street level, it is part of the Barbican on the walk is part of the Roman Wall a school graves of plauge victims and a lake almost football pitch size, it ends up at the Museum of London and ST Paul's.
