      Hi there, I really like your videos, not sure how to reach you so I leaving comment here. I just saw Duplicate of one of your Barcelona video, check here: ua-cam.com/video/mGToti885xQ/v-deo.html as i can't report that, the owner has to, so let's decide if you're offended by that. Keep walking, thx.

    29:05 The legendary Housman's Books at 5 Caledonian Road, a not-for-profit bookshop since 1945 (although it was started in another location in 1936, in a Peace Pledge Union center in London). The volunteers working there are passionate about books, social justice and free exchange of ideas. A favorite stop whenever I am in the capital.

    Congrats again on the 100K(five months earlier than predicted) and now on to 150K!! I love this area and how they re-developed it, yet kept its charm. I see very few people wearing face masks, it is not required there? Funny watching this in 105 degrees weather in hot and sunny Las Vegas and it looks like October there with the grey skies and people bundled up! Nice job once again and God Speed!!

    Jeeez ! What a difference.. I came to London in 1983..This area was seriously the pits. Junkie/Prostitution /Muggers paradise and very unsafe to walk in, even during the day...I remember this walk up the side of Kings Cross..Up to the Gas Towers..(Which I think have been relocated further up. ) It was also filled with Squats and a thriving Creative Alternative community
