    Very sophisticated and beautiful urban design. I like the road configurations everything seems to be so smooth. Would love to visit soon.

    I thoroughly enjoyed your video. Reminiscent of many of the streets I walked along when I visited London. I even got out my map and followed you along! Many thanks.

    Good video. I have been down and back this road hundreds of times in my life. I was born near here and worked near here.

    Coming from someone who's spent his entire life driving in rural Virginia, I can honestly say that even attempting this would give me multiple panic attacks. I don't know how y'all do it, but I definitely applaud you!

    Despite all the traffic everywhere I still like driving over here and I got used to the fact it takes at least three times longer to get from A to B. I like your videos, Milwaukee looks so calm.

    I thoroughly enjoy your 'driving' videos of London streets! I have a very strong desire to move to London, but my gosh - the network of streets there is absolutely insane!

    It is both. Westminster is one of the more than 30 boroughs within the limits of greater London. The area around Parliament is, of course, Westminster. But the driver then drives north along Whitehall, around Trafalgar Square, then east along The Strand to his destination in what is knows as The City, which is the original square mile of 2,000-year-old Londinium, as the Romans called it.

    London is an interesting city. Traffic is manageable and under control, at least during my visit in June 2013, Public transportation is very sophisticated. It's easy to get around in the city.

    I'm English and I still can't be failed but be impressed by the variety of architecture in London. Shame about of the rest of the island, we have become an island of agricultural land, residential land and workplaces. But I guess that is the end result of corporate capitalism, using land and nature to build wealth, however in a closed system if you go to one extreme you take away from the other. Simple maths, but I guess our economists work to the corporate capitalist tune, lets hope for the wealth of our planet and the experiences of future generations countries like Russia will stand against the forces against variety in our landscapes/ecosystems/real freedoms

  • @martinims
    @martinims  11 років тому

    The only one I know of is Cargiant, 44-45 Hythe Rd, London NW10 6RJ ‎
    It is on A219 between Shepherd's Bush and Willesden Junction (closest station) or you can take 220 bus from Shepherd's Bush towards Willesden Junction (15 min); just as an example...

    There is no purpose to infringe privacy and all videos are filmed on the public roads within the UK which means these recordings are exempt from the Data Protection Act under Section 36. The information commissioner has confirmed that recording for personal purposes on the road is perfectly fine and that uploading footage to websites like UA-cam is fine, even if it includes faces or VRN. The information commissioner also confirmed that this is not breaking any part of the Data Protection Act.

    • @martinims

      It shouldn't take you more than 3 hrs and you should manage to get there before afternoon/evening rush hour

      ***** I have recently read that with Islam you have three options: convert, leave or die. In other words let the Islam and Sharia Law rule or they'll fight. The whole paradox comes down to the fact they say they want to rule the entire world. Let's also not forget some are known to claim there are no gay people in Islam... Coming back to your question, well there isn't much of a difference over here in comparison to the US.
      What is the safety level like in the US? What are those communities like Islamberg in NY state? I don't think there is anything like that in the UK

    • @martinims
      @martinims  10 років тому +1

      ***** UK is very tolerant. Sometimes far too much as there are groups that will happily use this to obtain their goals and also to force their agenda. In my personal opinion any religion can and should be tolerated as long as it stays on a spiritual level and doesn't go beyond the point where it tries to influence politics, democracy and the values of others. Most importantly it should never be contradictive with the laws of the land.

    • @martinims
      @martinims  11 років тому

      Not too often, it hasn't snowed this winter yet and actually quite the opposite the temperatures have been above 5C [41F] most of the time and sometimes even above 10C [50F]. For example today (5th Jan) it is around 12C [55F].

    Lovely city but the roads look awfully cluttered and complex. There is so much clutter between lanes! All manner of signs, stop lights, even statues! We try to provide bad drivers with as little opportunity to run into things as possible, so there's never any of that stuff between lanes in our cities.

    • @martinims
      @martinims  10 років тому

      We on the other hand eliminate bad drivers by having them run into things... just kidding ;)

    is it normal for people to wander from lane to lane in Europe? Because doing that here would make the police think you are drunk.

    • @martinims
      @martinims  11 років тому

      Some drivers can be at times, as I would say, more 'relaxed' about it than others and sometimes even the road layout itself requires some flexibility too. It all depends... You also get drivers who live totally in their own bubble without indicating or even checking if the lane they are changing to is available but that fortunately doesn't happen this often.
