  • On my way to Zimbabwe, I had a 12 hour layover in London. So I got out and explored my favorite city in the world!

    Thank you for all your videos. I went to London last year. I am a brazilian and it was my first trip ever. I was alone, and was the most incredible experience I’ve ever had. I miss this city with all my heart. Maybe I used to live there in another life, who knows? Haha I kinda believe it, because I always had this particular craziness about London and couldn’t really explain it. When I was there I felt like “omg, this is my home”. I just find your channel here and I’m really really glad to see your videos. Just love it. ♡

    I discovered your beautifully filmed works today and felt compelled to write to say that I have lived in London all my life (62 years) and want to thank you for reminding how lucky I am as it is easy to become complacent when you see it every day.
    In the words of Dr Johnson, a man who is tired of London is tired of life
    I suggest if you have time on your next visit you check out Hampstead and the side streets as I think you will find it as charming as I do

    I really could watch your city walk videos all day ,they are not only fantastically well filmed and edited but you come across as very genuine in your love for exploring the place, its architecture and more importantly the character and feel. Very well done, I enjoyed it a lot.

  • @purpleom9649

    What a magical eye you have. The next time you visit England try getting out of London and do the countryside and villages, your eye will overload with beautiful images.

    I have to say, again, your passion, love and photographic sensibilities make this my favorite London travel Video. You rock. Nick from Tottenham. Your choice of locations are perfect. The music makes it.

  • @zupermaus1
    @zupermaus1 5 років тому +13

    Aw man, I really hope one day you make it to The City. It's a true architectural journey writ into stone and glass and concrete - it's simultaneously the oldest and newest part of the capital. Ancient churches (117 of them), taverns, pubs and protected alleyways, first mapped out - as in all the roads there - by the meandering paths of cows to their watering holes 2,000 years ago, rub shoulders with amazing new architecture and contemporary art squirreled away into every conceivable space, whether its a bunch of speakers taped into a tree or statues of lost children. By weekday 570,000 people cram it into the Square Mile, by night and weekend its a ghost town (the churches put on the services at weekday lunch times, and close on Sundays). Next to it to the east is the hip East End, head for Brick Lane market on Sunday to see London at its most interesting, and most rewarding for those who venture into nooks and corners and winding alleys.

  • @SJG1957
    @SJG1957 4 роки тому +2

    I really enjoy the enthusiasm evident in your pieces on UA-cam. In particular, your eye for a great photograph - and London has a lifetime of incredible photographic scenes and architecture to capture. Keep up the great work and stay safe in your travels my friend. They are appreciated.

    Love your videos, so glad you love my home town. If you’ve not been, the next time you’re at the Tower of London, go up into the walkway, it has a glass floor and it’s cool to watch the cars and river right underneath you. Happy travels

  • @martintabony611
    @martintabony611 5 років тому +3

    I'm sure some one has already mentioned that you hear "Big Ben" it's the bell that counts the hour. The clock tower was originally called "St. Steven's Tower" but since her Majesty's diamond jubilee it has been called "Elizabeth Tower"

  • @spookydreamer7370
    @spookydreamer7370 4 роки тому +3

    I'm so glad you came back in the Summer, even for a quickie. You did my favourite walk, although I usually do it the other way around, starting at London Bridge, up to Tower Bridge, over to the South Bank, and down to Westminster. Of course being a Londoner I then have time for other bits like Oxford Street or further West towards Notting Hill. London is a walking city, so glad you are a walker, trust me, lots of tourists are not and they do like to tell everyone, lol. The South Bank area with the street entertainers has some of my favourite buskers (fave Pre-Raphaelite flower child Charlotte) some of whom put their songs on UA-cam. And see... we do have blue sky long sunny days as well, just not at Xmas, lol.

  • @avrilbowler8755
    @avrilbowler8755 4 роки тому +1

    Cody - you have the most exquisite vision for architectural vistas. Warms me with the beauty you find in very (to us) ordinary street views. The Millennium Bridge you went across - when it opened, the banging of visitors'feet caused it to sway alarmingly. It was nicknamed "The Wonky Bridge". It had to be closed and strengthened so that patterned footfall couldn't destroy it with the vibrations.

    It's a complete reconstruction of the Palace of Westminster costing between £4 and £6 Billion, apparently. We all thought it was just your basic rewiring job. But no. It's a total rebuild in some parts, extreme renovation in most. Taking between, wait for it, 25 to 40 years. So, yeah: wait for it!

I had to smile when you said no Starbucks, then immediately one was there. What about the number of Costa coffee's (my find when there), Nero's and Pret's?

    Being a Capetonian, living in London for last 12 years, who is obsessed with NYC.... Man I can’t wait to see your videos from Africa. That was a little convoluted, but anyway, I’ve lived in London for 12 and this video made me realise what I take for granted! Enjoy the rest of your trip. You’ll love Cape Town and Zimbabwe, my father and sisters were born in Zim, so this is all very twisted haha

    Interesting fact! There were structural issues and an accident I think with the First design of bridge which gave j.k.rowling the inspiration for the death eaters to destroy the bridge. I learnt that on a Harry potter walking tour of London. I would recommend it, it was full of facts I did not know. Not sure if they still do it though as it was two three years ago.

I’ve been there now a few times and I really can’t get enough of this city so I would definitely recommend that. Maybe you and Sarah can make like a Europe trip or something
