This year we walked rivers both lost and running through hills (the Chelmer, the Chess, the Fleet, the Neckinger, Ingrebourne, the Cranbrook, the Lea and more), we learnt about the history of our local streets, I did my longest walk to date because I had a bad back and couldn’t sit down. Our walks also took us back through time into London's past and we saw the beginnings of its future. This video contains just a few of my walking highlights of the year.
I just want to say an enormous thank you for walking with me through this strangest of years, you’ve been amazing company, your comments on the videos have been an endless source of knowledge and lore and just to have you along has meant the world to me. With that I’d like to wish you the Happiest of New Years, and as ever … I look forward to seeing you on the next walk wherever that may be!
Take care and I’ll see you in 2021.
Some of the locations in this video: Waltham Abbey, Stepney, River Chelmer, Ewell, City of London, River Chess, Hanwell, Leytonstone, Leyton, Stratford, Walthamstow, Epping Forest, Snaresbrook, Stoke Newington, River Lea, Ilford, Upshire, Ramsgate, Chalfont St. Giles, Harold Wood, Bloomsbury, Purfleet, Kings Cross, Forest Gate, Tower Hill, and Wapping.

Just discovered John this year... I enjoy every video... I am a fat middle aged man and just like after years of not reeding a book Bill Bryson inspired me to read John has inspired me walking.... Let's get that weight off in 2020 👍 thanks John keep it up 👍👍👍👍
The end of year message I was waiting for! Thanks John. Wishing you and everyone a much better 2021.
Have a wonderful New Year Michael
You've helped make an awful 2020 into a pleasant walk John. Cheers for that, and have a blinding 2021!
John - it has been an utter pleasure to walk with you across this year. By chance - or good fortune - I joined you as lockdown started and have walked on many of your walks with you. Standout for me are your river and estuary walks and, of course, the River Lea........... there is a frisson of excitement I feel whenever you say "confluence" ....... anyway, thanks for your outstanding efforts across the year, I, for one, am grateful for your endeavours... thank you.
I will always remember this year,for many reasons. And it was the year I found you. I’ve enjoyed all your walks ,full of hidden jewels. Thank you John, and a happy new year to you and yours.
I only discovered your channel a few months ago, Mr Rogers, but it has become essential weekly viewing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, your philosophy and your perspectives. I still cannot believe the channel only has 16.4k subscribers (at the time of writing), as the quality of the content deserves far wider enjoyment; however, I have every confidence that figure will grow. All good wishes to you and yours for 2021.
Thank you, John. I go bicycling to relax, but when I can't, I watch your videos. I hope you keep putting out your quality content, and that you stay healthy and safe and walking in 2021.
Happy new year.
thanks very much Hoblog

I actually bought one of their CDs at the end of 2019

Only just discovered this channel through a friend. Thanks so much for your work, and I look forward to watching these through the current lockdown. This site is an absolute gem.
Wonderful video John I loved your comment @23,50 "when in a subway for the first time who knows where you will emerge or what world you will be thrust into" , I found it rather fitting and relevant with the times we live in today, who knows what kind of world will will be in post Brexit and pandemic. But as you said at the end of the East London edgelands video "better days are up ahead"
Thanks you John
Thanks Raj - I have a feeling this will turn out to be a great year - but we’ll be out there walking nonetheless
I discovered your channel a few days ago, and over the Xmas 2020 period I've watch almost everything! One thing I've noted, London and it's suburbs offer a greatly condensed amount of attractions! I live in mid-Norfolk and would have to walk ten times the distance, to see the same number of sights! My favourite area that you covered is the Eastend of the Thames Valley! Wapping is now my prime destination, in the whole of Europe!
Not only did Graham Gooch go to school in Norlington Road, so did Jonathan Ross I think. Fantastic compilation video, thank - you.
I had the fortune to go to that school with Jonathan and his brothers. My mum also used to work with a young Graham Gooch
I think quite honestly you have helped a lot of us get out even if we 'couldn't get out, you know what I mean. Thank you John. I am looking forward to where you take us in 2021. Happy New Year x
I was bored during late May, so I typed Leyton into TH-cam and never expected to see such an interesting and quality video on the area. I never quite appreciated how interesting local history is before watching that. The walks around Walthamstow, Redbridge, Epping Forest and the Lee Valley were really good
I lived in Leytonstone for 3 years until Feb 2020, and when you start your films in the back doubles and on Grove Green Road towards the train station reminds me of those days
Thank you for these wonderfully informative and soothing walks. Watching and ‘walking along’ from afar has helped immensely through this very closed in year. Especially for those of us who are sorely missing London
What a great channel! Much appreciated from an adopted son of Essex. Full of affection and curiosity, no BBC editorialising. Keep up the good work.
Where Iain started his London Orbital epic, John!
Eternal recurrence and all that.
John great end of year video that wasn't a great year..but truly your videos have brightened every Sunday through this horrible time
Well done mate . Here's to next year.
Thank you so much for your video walks, John. I discovered your channel a week or so ago, when scanning youtube for all things Walthamstow, my home town. You remind me so much of a lovely, red haired , teenage boy called John, that I used to go for long philosophical walks with around Walthamstow and the bit of Epping Forest by the Forest School. I live on beautiful Vancouver Island now, but often get homesick. More so since I got back from a six month stay taking of my Mum in 2018/2019. Your walks and knowledge sharing have been a wonderful tonic during this tightened phase of our lockdown. Thank you for being my tour guide down many memory lanes..
Cornhill was the first areas we can prove my where my family was from. Back in 1795 my many great grandfather was born.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLY WISH YOU A HAPPY 2021 JOHN AND LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR WALK FROM LEAGRAVE TO HARPENDEN .
Jesus, John! You cover such a vast terrain. I am constantly impressed.
Myself and two mates have explored the Chilterns throughout lockdown, John. These walks are truly magical.
Thank you John for all your truly great videos l always enjoy them
A superb year of wonderful walks perfectly reviewed. Thank you so much John. A light shining through these dark times.
Watching your walks every week during lockdown(s) has kept me sane and inspired to follow in your foot steps. So many layers of history around us and different perspectives and stories that need to be told that challenge traditional orthodoxies about London and the rest of the country.
Many thanks indeed Saqib
The review was every bit as wonderful as it's individual parts
Including the cheese sandwich and draft beer in carton
Continue happy wandering throughout 2021
Stay strong and healthy SMILES 👍🇬🇧👌
thanks so much C Gj
The more i think about it, you're a much more interesting and entertaining version of Countryfile! Great review of 2020. Here's hoping that 2021 is much, much better!
Thanks John - I love that description
A real joy to have come across your channel John; one of the highlights of my 2020. Your commentary, music selection, locations and vistas have a calming effect worth coming back to.
Great to see all your walks during this tough year. Looking forward to your jaunts in 2021!
Wonderful capstone to the year. I have really enjoyed following your walks. Cheers for a much better 2021.
Thank you for a year of fabulous walks! Happy New Year!
Your videos are enjoyable calm bliss, a daydream, an escape, a delightful meander . Such a pleasant diversion in a year of uncertain worry .Thankyou so much
I'm originally from Leyton mum still lives in Leytonstone. I found your channel during the first lockdown and have now probably watched every video on it. Loved your Ramsgate video as I'm down this way now. Thanks for a fantastic insightful guide through the wonders of East London and beyond. Always look forward to you posting a new video as does most of the family now. Cheers mate all the very best to you in 2021 🍻
I would like to send a big thank you to you. I stumbled on your channel during the first peak and your walks inspired me to get out there. Working from home does take its toll on you sometimes. I have lived all my life in Leyton and never really explored I have now completed quite a few of your walks which also inspired me to pull out my old bike from the cellar. Thanks John great channel !
Thanks for all videos John
I've just discovered your channel couple of months ago
and must admit your walks are like sunshine on a rainy day .
They bring so many beautiful memories of my time in London , Bucks and other places I used to live in the U.K. .
Wish I could walk those trials and watch the sunsets on top of Chiltern hills .
I just hope old world we know so well is going to come back soon and we start walking and walking and walking miles again ...
Peace !
Thank you John for all of the wonderful journeys you have taken me on. Your walks are packed with facinating information and so much interest. I discovered you during the first lockdown in March and can honestly say that your videos helped to remove the anxieties and worries of the year we have all experienced. Happy 2021 let’s hope it’s different. 😊👍
Thank you John, a brilliant round up to a roller coasting year, I wish you and yours all the best and brightest ,hope the next year will be better in all ways, see you on the next one wherever that maybe, hopefully, New River, Hackney Brook, Clissold Park, Stoke Newington, Abney Cemetery, Finsbury Park, Alexandra Palace, Muswell Hill sort of areas, Cheers Mate ⭐🌈😎
We're suffering from covid at my house, but I appreciate your channel for allowing us to visit England again, if only virtually! Happy 2021.
Very sorry to hear that Kimberly - wishing you all a speedy recovery
I "found" your channel about 6 months ago and have thoroughly enjoyed the films. They have helped me through these difficult times. Living over in Gloucester my only visits to London was in the 1970/80's to the speedway tracks at Rye House, Hackney, Wimbledon, Wembley, White City and Crayford but the films are so interesting. Keep going, wherever that may be!
thanks Graham - Rye House makes an appearance in a couple of my Lea Valley videos - I could hear the bikes racing round the track all the way up in the hills above Roydon
Ooh! Arthur Machen! When you mentioned that writers name the hair on my neck went up. An author of terrifying stories. Superb footage as always.
Happy new year this was a great start to 2021 thanks
Great year of walks John , thanks for taking us along..
I found your videos in February John and thoroughly enjoyed them ever since. Keep up the good work
Well John, another year of joining you on your walks draws to a close. The review of the year film is excellent. It’s fascinating to watch the seasons change as I follow you. Some of the images that you’ve captured in 2020 are breathtakingly beautiful.. And of course you’ve created a record of what it was like to walk the streets during the pandemic restrictions of 2020. I can’t overstate how valuable your weekly films mean to me. They sooth and calm me and I get lost in your adventures. And let’s not forget the unusual and fantastic music that accompany your films. I wish you and all of your family good mental and physical health in 2021. Thank you for all of the work that you create. Dave. Dublin. 😊 ✌️☀️👍
Thanks so much for all your comments Dave - wishing you the best for the New Year
Thanks John your a legend
Absolutely wonderful watching this all back. Thanks John
All the best to you and yours in the new year , cheers 🍻
Superb John! ❤️
thank you John it`s a delightful review
Another great walk. Cheers
All the best for 2021 looking forward to more great walks
Thank you John for all the fascinating walks during this tough year. I have really looked forward to Sunday evenings. Wishing you and your family a very happy and peaceful 2021.
cheers Jacky and here's to a peaceful and happy new year as well
Such a great overview of the year through your eyes (and boots). Thank you, John!
Thanks John for that fantastic recap. I only discovered your channel partway through the year so as well as the new weekly videos it’s great to also dip into the archives of past videos. Did you have a favourite walk this year?
Thank you so much for making 2020 so bearable. I so look forward to the 2021 walks wherever they may be. Wishing a Happy New Year to you and yours.
Thanks Sally - wishing the best for the New Year
Brilliant John! I look forward to more. Happy New year! 🙏
Thanks John it has been a pleasure to follow you through this funny old year, here's to a better 2021 keep safe.
Thanks so much John. Wonderful stuff in troubling times.
Watching your videos one blindingly obvious fact suddenly hit me: there are countless other beautiful & interesting cities in the world, but none of them have the sheer density & diversity of history that London has. No wonder Dr. Johnson's comment is so undeniably true - probably even more so today.
Great video John. Hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year!
Seasonal greetings John keep up the good work.
Thank you john Have a safe 2021 my best wishes to you and your family Keep safe see you next year. 🤞
Cheers John, you really cheered up my evening. I wish you well for the coming year and hope that it will be a better one for all of us. Bob.
Thanks for the journeys you took us on this year .It was a great tonic 👍
What a year witch I hope will never be repeated as for John Rogers I found your site in lockdown and what an absolute privilege it was to see so many of his walks kept me sane while lockdown was and still going on so many many thanks John Rogers for your excellent videos I wish you and your family A Happy and prosperous healthy new year and many more videos to come thank you so much .
I'm new to your channel and find myself so intrigued. I grew up in Bayswater/Westbourne Park before moving first to Hayes Middlesex, then Staines Middlesex and lastly Kingston. Then I left the UK. That's over 25 years ago and I guess a combination of aging and sentimentality brings me here.
Thank you for the great content and insight to parts of London and the surrounding areas that I had very little knowledge about.
Thanks for finding the channel - hope you find more videos of interest
Hi John, I found your work on a Search for Anything about Benfleet. As that's where I spent the Best part of my youth. And I really enjoyed your walk from Benfleet, Leigh on Sea, Westcliff and Beyond.
Since I Subscribed. I have enjoyed your Trundles through Essex along River Banks and Canals. Outskirts of London and more.
You have taken me back to my youth. And for that there are not enough Thanks possible on this Site.
But a Serious Thank you. Stay Well, Safe and Best wishes for 2021 and Beyond.
Cheers Kim in Oz. 😎
P.s. My Grandmother lived in Leytonstone, Claude Rd to be Precise. Thx for your efforts.

Many thx for keeping us all sane & grounded during the madness Happy New Year to you & yours.
Thank you for an exceptional set of walks - looking forward to your 2021 wanderings!
Wonderful John.
Hi John,
I have only recently discovered the films of your wonderful walks. You are so inspiring and informative. I’ve been a tour guide in London for about 15 years and during the pandemic I have been filming some themed tours in central London and am now in the process of constructing a website etc.
Thanks again. In a way, I’m so pleased I came to them late as I now have many treats to watch during the latest lockdown as a way of escape. You are such a genial host as well and someone you can enjoy a pint with!
Keep up the great work!
Many thanks Gary much appreciated. Best of luck with your videos and website
Great round up John, hopefully more of the same for 2021! All of the very best and thank you so much for being such brilliant and interesting company.
Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed fi di g the channel and seeing all the walks. Being on 2021.
I can not believe its been another year all ready, what a great video, Happy New Year John, keep up the amazing work.
Brilliantly put together John wishing you all the best for the new year. Stay safe and well
Hi john wishing you and your family a very happy new year look forward to your next video thanks for a very entertaining year
Chesham was where i was born and raised, as kid's we used to poach trout out of the Chess and sell them to the teacher's at school for a quid a head.
A wonderful documentation of a quite singular year. I'm sure to watch this one more than a few times. Keep it up and unfurl your sails on the waves of 2021.
Nice long walk video, thank you :)
Thanks John
Looking forward to the content you give us this year and where you will take us ,..... Wherever that may be

Happy new year to you and your family John keep up the good work and look forward to even more exciting adventures
Hi John, I would like to thank you for your wonderful and educational walks of London.
I came across your channel early this year and I've been hooked.
I wait patiently for your next walk every Sunday.
My wife bought me your book, Another London for Christmas! Well Christmas day I couldn't put your book down.
I worked in London for a couple of years 2016 to 2018 and I am always returning to London. I fell in love with the place. The architecture and the History fascinates me.
This year I have not been able to come to London due to the strange year with Covid 19 effecting so many people.
I think as London as my home. I don't know what it is but I fell in love with the place and its under my skin.
Hopefully next year I will be able to return to and see some of the amazing places you have shown us on your walks.
Thanks for keeping me sane this year. I wish you and your family all the best for the new year!
Look forward to more of your walks next year!
If im in a pub and you pass i will shout to you and a nice cold Stella will be at the bar haha.
Take care and once again thank you for sharing your knowledge with us all.
Happy New year John let's hope with can have a near to normal 2021. Look forward to your new walks.
Hi john, thanks for the wonderful video
After falling through a rusty drain cover yesterday
And the main water pipe suddenly bursting in the kitchen this morning
This was just what I needed to lift the day
Loved the Loughton and Epping videos
I spent many a night car camping at high beech in my late teens
And also when I lived in Waltham cross
I would walk the river Leigh and I would frequently eat and drink in the fish and eels pub
Brought a huge smile to my face seeing the pub again after many years
Thanks for the wonderful videos
A happy and safe new year to you and your family.
Great video John, what a year you’ve had. Thank you for taking us with you and keeping us entertained throughout this year! Happy new year John, looking forward to many new videos. 😀👍 PS, I git your book for Christmas, can’t wait to read it. 📖
Thanks for allowing us all to join you on your travels. Memories for me aplenty.
Thanks for coming along Brian
Joining your regular viewers in wishing you and your family a safe and happy new year. Looking forward to the first walk of 2021.
I fear 2020 is just a prelude....just a hunch.
Happy New Year John,
Thanks for all your videos.
All the best
