    When in London I never pass any church that I may come across. They are an oasis of peace and calm in a city that can be frenetic, crowded and loud with traffic. I always feel better after visiting these great old churches. Great video.

    Hi Sinead, don’t forget the Brompton Oratory in Knightsbridge. I’m a old Oratorian (I went to The London Oratory School in the 80s)

    All Hallows - some many years ago I was lucky enough to organise a choir and sing at at a wedding for a neighbour. A magic and tiring weekend!
    (In those days you could drive into London and the City -ark easily and no charges. Happy days.......

    On my last visit to the UK in 1984 Southwark Cathedral looked VERY different than it does today. I barely recognized it. Glad to see it looking so bright and shiny. Thanks Sinead for another great tour.

    The song one can hear partway through the tour of the Cathedral of Westminster is Gustav Holst’s “Venus -Bringer of Peace” from his Planets symphony. One of the most tranquil and beautiful pieces of music composed by mortal man.
    The second movement of his “Jupiter-Bringer of Jollity” later was reworked by Holst at the time of WWI to become “A Vow to Thee Thy Country”.

    I remember Southwark Cathedral well. I was there in 2019, when Doorkins the tabby was still in residence. She died of old age the following year. The tuxedo you met is the latest incumbent. Name escapes me at present. Begins with an H. I would love to go back again. Went mad with the camera and was gently upbraided by a gentleman (vicar/church warden?)for doing so. I'm such a heathen😇😉

      @@ToursbyFootLondon yeah, baby. A grumpy ol' gal was Doorkins, but she let me give her a chin scratch. Tried to take some other poor woman's arm off. Doorkins and I both scarpered with the arrival of a boisterous toddler. Run! God save me from little children! 🤣 I should dig out a pic.. Cheero 😉

    Subway, thank you so much for including All Hallows by the Tower. In October 2007 I started a 6 months internship there for my English studies over here in Germany. I’ve met some of the kindest and loveliest people there and the time spent there is still so close to my heart. I haven’t been able to go there since right before the start of the Covid pandemic in February 2020 - so this video has taken me right back „home“. 🥲

    Doesn't anyone edit these films? Princess Charlotte, who died in childbirth in 1817, was most certainly NOT the daughter of William IV ! She was the daughter of George IV and would have become Queen at his death in 1830 had she lived that long. That's why George IV was succeeded by his brother, William IV, who had no children that survived to adulthood and so his niece Victoria became Queen.
