Streets Of London 002 | Pinner Bridge Street & High Street walk
Around 25 minutes from Baker Street on the Metropolitan train line lies Pinner, an historic village within the North West London suburbs which dates from c.900AD. In more recent times it was the pre-stardom stomping ground of Reginald Kenneth Dwight, aka Elton John. Ditto Simon LeBon, lead singer of DuranDuran. Both attended schools in Pinner. Enjoy the Sunday morning stroll from Pinner's quaint old Police station at the top of Bridge Street down to the olde worlde High Street and onwards beneath the bridge at Pinner train station (Zone 5).

Streets Of London 001 | Watford High Street walk
มุมมอง 3.1K4 ปีที่แล้ว
The very first Streets Of London excursion takes you to the outskirts of the Capital, to Watford High Street, situated in Zone 8 of the London Overground line; a 45-minute train ride from London Euston station. Savour the sights of Watford's largely pedestrianised town centre on what was the last morning of 2019!
I went to school in Edgware and kept being asked what London borough do you live in, so the school, could claim from them. I couldn’t get them to understand Watford is not in London.
to think only a few months later half the nightclubs would be shut and everyone would be locked up at home or trotting round in those wretched face nappies
So your 1st Streets of London walk is in a town that isn’t in London? 🤔
I live in Pinner
My Beautiful town..in love with this place
Lived in Pinner for 40 years before moving to Suffolk in 2003 -- this brings back a few memories. Even though the shops have changed the older buildings are still mostly the same. The High Street is still as picturesque as ever.
Are there many packies there?
@@tanthaman I haven't come across that before -- do you mean back-packers?
@@carlgrove8793 you know what I'm taking about clown. Filth
@@tanthaman No, I don't. It's gibberish.
@@carlgrove8793 it's the same types that have infiltrated Whitechapel, Bradford and oldham. That should give you an indication
40 years lived, was once very nice. Not so much now as you can. Glad I got out to the countryside with beaches. Will look even more glum once those high rises pop up around town.
they’re popping up like mushrooms after rain , even the bus garage in Garston has been levelled for housing , the dregs of the sink estates of north London have been shipped in and crime’s going through the roof , the locals are referring to it now as Croydon-On-The-Colne
@@bobmathews9072 Stayed there for 2 nights b4 flying out and back from Heathrow, this was last February/March. Gonna look and feel like Wembley unless this hasn't happened already.
Yep already happened , wish I’d pissed off to Oz like my cousin back in the 90’s but even Oz is suffering the “delights” of multiculti now , it’s like there’s no escape , I’m glad I’m 50 , it’s the white kids growing up strangers in their own country I feel sorry for , it’s spot the white kid coming out of secondary schools like Francis Combe nowadays @@ryminsta
Thanks for taking us with you. Good content, just walking with no music. We aren’t as brave as that. We both grew up in Watford, so thank you ❤️🌈👍🎥
I lived in Watford 9 months last year ( 2019 ) and although they were hard 9 months separated from my family, I fell in love with this city and I miss it more then my hometown. It's a beautiful place to live in.
I remember the night club Paradise Lost on the Parade. I wonder what it is now.
It went on to be called Kudos...then Destiny... Now prizm
@@daveUK1066 Cheers Dave !
Happy days , “student night Thursdays” in Kudos (even though we were too old) , last minute “grab a munter” song was always Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty , then swerving into Hayri’s for the obligatory kebab before the trek home@@daveUK1066
I've never seen the High Street so empty!!
Well it’s on Christmas Day innit
