    Nice to see this. I always stay at the Rembrandt Hotel when visiting London, which is just around the corner. Love that area and also walking to King’s Road from there. Loved going to Carluccios for dinner some evenings

    Wonderful walk.
    Very diverse: beautiful old buildings, unpretentious houses, and the mews!!. I love the charm of some mews!!.
    Thin House always surprises me; and I tell myself that on windy days, stormy days, it must be worrying, like a liner on the sea.
    Thank you WW for this really enjoyable walk.

    Great video thanks. Interesting to see all the mews houses. My Great-grandfather was a coachman in the 1880s and early 1890s working for Sir Henry Singleton who had houses in Hartley Wintney (Hampshire) and Princes Gate London. My Great-grandparents and their family of 10 children (incl. my grandmother) occupied a mews house (31 Ennismore Mews) when required to be in London, and my granny was baptised at All Saints Church, South Kensington in 1886. Where they lived was last sold for several million pounds - how times change!

    Hello again WW. I viewed most of this yesterday (Wednesday) when on the stationary bike. I will actually be going on the bike again today for another workout and will finish the rest of your very fine video. I normally take a break of a day between bike workouts but going to a trade show at Ally Pally tomorrow with my Mum, so doing another bike workout today.
    Interesting to see a Thurloe Street in your video. In Vancouver, we have a Thurlow Street (different spelling, same pronounciation) and it's a very well known street in downtown Vancouver!
    Loved the posh residential streets, often typically in white washed fronts...and the posh cars all over the area. You know WW, largely through your videos, I love practically everything about London and want to explore more. Anyhow, off for my workout now. I will catch up on the rest of this video...and then I have two more videos that you posted after this to catch up on. Take care and speak soon!

    Watching your videos triggered a lot of my memories about my time in London. I often wonder what it's like to live in those mews! I don't seem to see them in other cities (something like back alleys?)

    The explosion of new restaurants/cafes etc in London over the past 2 decades has meant so many are dependent on mass tourism. However it’s nice to see places that I know so well like Kensington and Chelsea for once not overcrowded because of the pandemic. If the U.K. Government doesn’t sort out the visa requirements post Brexit for casual labour, the hospitality industry will shrink as fast or faster than its grown. The situation in London right now is dire, it’s almost like a different city from how it was at the beginning of 2020.
