- Is this really London? just watch and see. There are parts of London that will amaze you. This is South East London. No Hustle, no bustle, not smelly, not loud and noisy. This is quiet London in Rotherhithe.

Thank you that was really pleasant,enjoyed the peace.
Me too mate
Probably won't be when Daisy gets woken up tho
What a beautiful peaceful spot. Love your walking videos. Takes me back to your original ones. Not too much longer until I can walk around your gorgeous City. ❤
There are loads of open spaces all over London for some peace and tranquility. My locals are Alexandra Park (where they play the darts) And Trent County Park, which is on the outskirts of London. Both places great for chilling even when there are events going on.
Well you can always find peace and tranquility amidst all the hustle and bustle if you take the time to explore, lovely area shame i bet those homes are very expensive. Please show us more of these lovely areas .
London can be mad , but its true there are really nice places to go even if they are surrounded in tall buildings, you live in a great place, i probably walked past when i used to visit London, i do miss it and you help with your trips out, thanks
Love walking round london so much, I'm doing a day in Mayfair ia few weeks time, so excited. I won't be buying anything but just love looking in the shop windows. Great vid, I rember Surrey Quay before it was transformed going on my daily coach journey from the city to kent in the early 80's.
A lovely wander in London Darren, nice to see the coot on the river brought back a lot of memories thank you. Take care.
Thank you so much for showing Rotherhithe. My Mum is from there and we lived there as a family in the mid to late eighties, I went to school there too. It has changed so much but it was lovely to see it again. 😊 Just found out the oil refinery was on Rotherhithe street called Castrols apparently.
Wonderful!
Always amazing to watch but the best was the last 🥰
I loved every minute of my visit to London and have great memories with my boy! I love all your wee stories Darren. 🥰☀️🥰xxx
Thanks so much. Which was your favourite part of London?
@@DarrenJohn It has to be Greenwich Darren. Canary Wharf having cocktails in the Alchemist too. Having a vip dining in Fallow was beautiful. I loved everything and I relive it all through your brilliant blogs Darren so thankyou so much for sharing your fab content. 🥰☀️🥰xxx
@@DarrenJohn Battersea power station was something else too! 🥰
Nice spot Darren .Your broadening all our horizons of London .
Thoroughly enjoyed this vlog very peaceful. Thanks
Total beautiful and peaceful and the exception of the Duckies😊
such a nice place - try walking by the river here in Middlesbrough. You only go down there to "do business" or get bumped off - sometimes both!!!! The difference is investment I live 7 miles away from 1973 England sadly
Coots with the white head ,nice one mate , mostly investment flats no community,looks like a Sunday morning in Hammersmith in the 70s shops shut peace and quiet,when it was Christian traditions,Shame really ,oh and we had a sugar refinery at the end of our street on the Thames ❤🇬🇧
Wow, thanks Darren for sharing your escape route, so quite and as you say London is not all hustle and bustle, a different side. I enjoyed your stroll. 😘
Peace and quiet good afternoon stroll.
Great vlog DJ. Enjoy these when you show us around the City xx
Wow incredible so peaceful.
That Fullers Pub designed to look like a capstan😎👌
How lovely! Thank you for sharing Darren what a nice place to live as well. It’s a huge place London…so, I guess folks wouldn’t know about these little hidden gems. 😊
Wouldn't say-Surrey Quays is a hidden gem though lol
Peace brother.
I love everything you do xxx I’m like 30mins outside of London x when the exams are over we’re heading your way x x 🥂
London dropping its old names and adopting "posh" ones like QUAYS. They could have even adopted "KEYS"
Fantastic video mate, inspired me to get filming and uploaded again
Lovely Darren. I agree with you about St Pauls (My favourite landmark) the other day, it is magical every time I see it I am amazed. Have a ride down to City Airport and do a video down there, it is like here in this vid. Cheers.
Nice video Darren, i live in Richmond and I go through some lovely walks each day.
London is not all hustle and bustle if you go looking for it.
OTC
Obviously whoever wrote that about London being noisy and bustling doesn’t know it well. When I lived at Lee Green I would regularly take the bus then DLR and alight at Island Gardens for the short walk to the most beautiful peaceful riverside park overlooking Greenwich and The River Thames. It’s so relaxing and there’s even a nearby cafe for a brew or a breakfast if you needed it. Then there was Embankment Gardens another beautiful peaceful area just minutes from Covent Garden. So many perfect and peaceful places to go in our capital.
Hi Darren forget about you know who he doesn't even see his own kids grow up .
You gave him your hospitality he is a peculiar bloke he falls out with everyone.
Love your vlogs I also love Rick & Shelley your genuine friends never look back always look forward.
All the best Darren you're a great generous man with a big ❤️ .
Cheers Andy from Llandudno North Wales 😃👍
Well said - and correct
Excellent vid.
Check out bow backs. Nice over there.
I live in Surrey quay you were by house at the start and would have said hello if I knew you were coming haha. If you have more time the walk by the Thames looking at canary wharf and the beach on the other side by the Mayflower pub is worth checking out. But getting busier now with all.the development in Canada water.
im in Chiswick. lovely walks here by the river, Kew and Richmond,
I was down in London last week for meetings. Stayed near Regents Park, got taken out for Dinner at Dishoom in Covent Garden, then a few drinks in Maple Leaf. Wondering where to go on Thursday and I was thinking, I bet DJ would know a good place.
Where abouts?
@@DarrenJohn Hotel was near Regent Park. Found a wee Italian just off Portland Street.
Lovely vlog thankyou for sharing, I come Fownhope to London at least 3 times a year from up north . I used to bring coach party's down every December and we always stayed at the tower thistle hotel ( gouman hotel now) we came for 15 years and enjoyed every trip went all over London but at nite time always walked along the South Bank right up to the London Eye. I now come down on my own or sometimes with family and friends and stay st the LSE Bankside in summer time just behind the tate modern it's the home of the University students and its hired out in Sumner yo the public
Sorry for spelling error I meant to put I come from up north
Great video…..I can do without the sexy bit! Biker all my life now 78 balance gone awol…..bikes a thing of the past..have to rely on the old xj8, tuned a bit, sports exhaust, permanently in sports mode….smile on my face every day. Oh and I love good food and cooking. Can’t sing though but thats another story. Keep on doing what you are doing.👍
Currently working just outside London mate till August, would love you to do a cheap pubs in London vlog ... If such a thing exists 😂
Wow so quite I wouldn’t have thought , cool bike and thank you so much for sharing
You should show people St Katherines Dock DJ, i love a summer eveing in the dock.
Looks lovely I could imagine having wine outside that pub in the warmer weather
Great vlog as usual xx
Thanks for the tour DJ 😊👍
Nice little stroll mate things change so much. Couple of years ago I went to the Tate Modern, first time back since we gutted the old Bankside power station back in 95 for them to create the Tate. Mind blowing what they’ve done there😳👍🏼👍🏼.
Evening Darren, the only thing that has not really changed is the Thames. However its banks have transformed out of all recognition 😊 When the Daily Telegraph moved into " Docklands " and the whole area was a building site, I was working as a chef ,the staff restaurant was an old Ice- Breaker . I remember when you couldn't give away houses or flats in that neck of the woods. Now, Lottery Winning folk,pop stars, actors ect,ect. But a nice little wander about,time to dream😊Cheers Allan&Family
Miiiiiwaaaalll territory Dazzler
Again you are right on my door step mate! You should have come in for a pint in the Moby dick!. They do lovely food at reasonable prices...
Greenland Dock wjere you were, if you go there at 7am onwards to 9am is the most tranquil place in se London. Love it. It's a nice walk around it and loads off joggers. There use to be a pub in the dock years ago called the wibbly wobbly. I wish it was still there so u could review it.
Its quite a working man's area but lovely place and beautiful to look at. The red bridges are an icon. One at Surrey quays and one on the river at Rotherhithe Street.
Looks peaceful ❤
10 yrs ago !!!!! Who you kiddin i thought you were mid 20s , nevermind my bad 😂😂😂😂
Darren did you ever get too handle the jelly or were you more health&safety. You make it sound so much fun,i remember blowing up some massive tree stumps to make way for our rugby pitches powerful stuff.i did a kevin & stayed till the end.i see your ex mate has been ridiculing his subscriber's in his comments section for his grammar.
You can always find nature if you walk away from roads
Hi Darren its like Sydney the city is so noisy then you go down to Sydney harbour its a slower pace Shane in Sydney 🦘🇦🇺
Do you possibly mean the gas works on rotherhithe street Darren? By the river the old pier is still there. The main bit of rotherhithe is further north than where you were iirc
No, I mean the oil refinery we dismantled
@@DarrenJohn you sure you mean rotherhithe then? There hasn't been an oil refinary there since union oil closed down and I don't think you're that old 🤣
Hi Darren are you going back to tenerife anytime soon
Soon
If you had walked the other way you would have seen the farm.
Love your videos .. calm and peaceful !@ and also Daisy who is super sexy 🎉❤
Very kind
Very nice to see peace and quiet in our capital never been Darren northern boy up here in Cumbria what happened to the Harley 👍👍
Who ever said that about London, shouldn't come to New York City! I don't feel that way about either London or New York!
Darren you've banned me from your other channel???! None of my comments are posting... gutted!
UA-cam must be blocking you - if you swear or are nasty, it's blocked?
London is always a magical place, though sometimes I think the changes aren't always for the better, but thanks for the walk Darren 🤗👍
