    When the journey drew to a close I determined to give it a rave review but then I read the previous comments and realised I have nothing to add to what has been said before. Wanderizm - you are doing a great job. Thank you. Future generations will also be grateful.

    Two years ago I graduated from Birkbeck College (University of London), which has a main campus based in Russell Square. It is an evening university with lectures only being held during the evenings intended for those who manage daytime jobs. Russell Square in general is known to be the base for a few university campuses in London (SOAS, UCL etc.) and also known for it's large garden squares, so it's a pretty chill area which to have nice walks and wanders. After my lectures I used to get on this particular bus (188) since it's route began in Russell Square and I would sit at the front on the top deck for the entire journey with my earphones in watching London at night. The feeling I would get was indescribable but it was always something that I would look forward to during the day. I even did it during the first lockdown back in April 2020 which was even better as the buses and roads were empty. Very lethargic.
    I always quite saw it as a novelty since I grew up in East London so I didn't get to see these sights everyday unless I went on this particular journey. Waterloo Bridge at night and then to top it off the 188 bus terminates at the 02 Arena, so once I got off the bus I would walk down Greenwich Peninsula at night and see the Canary Wharf skylines only a couple hundred metres away. I would even sometimes hop on the Emirates Cable Car just to enjoy more of the London skyline view at night. Which is what I'd recommend everybody taking this route. Once the bus reaches it's terminus at North Greenwhich station, take a little 5 minute walk to the Emirates Cable Car to have another view of London. Great memories that I'll cherish.

    Very good and surprisingly relaxing trundling along at 20mph. More great driving and endless patience from the bus driver. Towards the end something so unreal, pass the Cutty Sark and stunning maritime museum then enter another dimension with the O2 dome and the Canary Wharf skyline. One wonders what marvels of modern architecture are yet to appear.

    Love the view of Canary Wharf 🇬🇧. Back in 1988 there was only one tower in that area and this was the case for a few years after 1988. At the end of this video the area viewed could easily be mistaken for a downtown area of any large US city, with the obvious exception of New York. Have they finished building towers in Canary Wharf or are there more to come? I understand they can't build towers too high in London because of air traffic issues but what London has got looks very impressive.

    • @seansmith445
      @seansmith445 3 роки тому +5

      There are lots of new towers planned in Canary Wharf. With the high speed Cross Rail due to open soon connecting CW with Heathrow and Central London in the West the whole docklands district is expected to expand even more rapidly.

    Thanks so much, Wanderizm - a real pleasure to take a trip down memory lane. I used the 188 daily from Greenwich (Naval College terminus at the time) to Tower Bridge Road for school and later to The Aldwich for college. Your video brought back so many memories - the old place has changed a bit, but still the same London. If or when you get the time, please do the same for the 53 from County Hall to Plumstead Common - that would be amazing. Take care and thanks again!
