Good tour of my former old Town..London has some beautiful architecture and Neighborhood's for sure&long may they last( As long as the local planning Org monitor and restrict some of the renovatios by crazy rich individuals or companies) who go over the top with buillding& never actually live in the property).
Adding a Swimming Pool might seem nice,until it compromises ur neighbors foundations!
And a Sw1 Postal Code says it all!
Terrible video 😅😅
@@chrissiecasson700 How so?
@@chrissiecasson700 Sorry it’s not for you Cassie
@ToursbyFootLondon great video but would like to see more of yourself 😍
Oh Sinead! It has been at least 4 million years!!! You are funny. I love the Belgravia area. The properies are very beautiful and perfectly maintained. It would be a dream come true to be able to see the inside of one or two. I bet they are immaculately designed and appointed. Wow.
Hi Sinead, and greetings from Baltimore, MD, USA. I lived in London during my teens/early 20's and went to school and college there too. I just want to say how much I enjoy watching your videos. Especially since you cover some the areas that I lived in and some of the areas that I used to love to visit. I like the balanced approach that you take between talking about the history and the contemporary status of the neigbourhoods that you cover. I also love you accent. Keep up the good work and I'll look forward to seeing more of your awesome videos in the future.
Thanks for your support of the channel, Hugh!
Hugh ….u didn’t go to “regents college” did you ?
I'm glad the Grosvenors have ownership of the area. Otherwise developers would have gone nuts ripping everything out and replacing with ugly 60s and 70s office buildings. There's no mega basement development either.
One always knows when on Grosvenor / Duke of Westminster land, the family Coat of Arms on the lampposts.
Fascinating story about the Grovsnors. They bought a cheap plot of land in area of London. The monarch at the time, I think it was Queen Anne, wanted a quite place for her court, and moved to same area. The price of the same land vastly increased, and the grosvners became very wealthy etc etc. Gosh talk abt being in the right place at the right time.
it has nothing to do. It depends on the state or the town to rule the new constructions. That a few have so much is just a nonsens
What a great walkabout Sinead-we love the POSH neighborhoods of London-so much history and drama!
We love them, too!
Your tours around all the different areas of London are so interesting and informative - thank you ❤.
You are most welcome, Gill!
A note about George Peabody. So revered on both sides of the Atlantic, his hometown, then known as South Danvers, Massachusetts, changed its name to Peabody in his honor.
Love the extra info, thanks for sharing, Tom!
Thank you Sinead, that was a wonderful tour of an area of London that I know quite well as my late husband was from Chelsea, going back a few generations. His grand parents met in Kinnerton Street when both in 'service', he as a groom , she as a lady's maid. We often walked around the area which was full of memories for him and had a drink in The Grenadier or The Nag's Head. I love Orange Square and have eaten many times in La Poule au Pot,
Thank you for sharing with us! We love hearing the stories of people's connections to the videos :)
Hi Sinead, thank you for showing us this beautiful elegant part of London, i absolutely love old buildings and architecture, i always think they could tell us a story or two. Sorry to hear you've been unwell. Hope you are getting your strength back. Great to see you back. Take care xx
Things have changed so much since I have been there but I do remember the history and going past Margaret Thatcher’s house while she lived there Thanx Sinead great job Enjoyed
I have lived in my community all my life and have been surrounded by the most amazing structures and buildings on my door step we are blessed to have this where as the snobs in London paying all that dough to live on a terrace ect I live it everyday 🙏 but where not minted but we are rich I our history of the Georgian Quater Liverpool 8 and beyond ❤
I haven't been to London in 10 years. thank you. I really enjoyed this little tour. it brings back so many fond memories. greetings from NYC.
Glad that you enjoyed the video, Brian! If you haven't done so already, you can hopefully check out our back catalogue of virtual London tours th-cam.com/users/FreeToursbyFootLondonvideos. There is more where this came from.
Happy memories of my times spent in the Irish club 😀, fun times, and great parties.
Hi Sinead, a wonderful tour as always. Glad to hear you are recovering... Stay well and much love from New Zealand x
Thanks for your support, Karen!
Love your walks❤ and all the gossip and knowledge you share🤩
We are glad you enjoyed it :)
Sinead a great walking tour..for sure I'll recommend you to all friends who visit London..
Thanks Sinead. Another great video. I still talk to people about the London all in one walk I did back in the end of May with you.
Wonderful! Brought back lovely memories of when I called Lyall Mews home. Walked my dog around Eaton Square every day.
Such a beautiful area of London. I love the buildings are all the same colour. Very classy.
We love it, too!
Thanks lovely ❤ hope you're over the bug that's knocked you about!!
Loved this one as l worked as a chef at the Audley in w1 in 1984/85.
I used to wander these back streets and mews in our 'break' time after lunch service (remembering that Pubs used to close for 3 hours mid afternoon.
We are hoping to be back next summer and arrange another private tour with you!
Love from Wayne and Sue.
Melbourne, Australia
Love the beautiful buildings and quaint streets of London ✨
Us too :)
It has been 4 million years since I’ve seen your face! I can’t wait for your Halloween! I love the history!
Could not agree more
Heck yes I love Halloween 🎃 my favorite holiday..
@@user-el1um2rj8s hard to believe only 2 months away love from Dublin
Nice to see you out and about again. Fab video, Eaton Square always reminds me of the TV show 'Upstairs Downstairs'. Also a more recent drama called Belgravia about the development of the area.
Michigan here.
Always enjoy every video you post !
Looking forward to watching your fall and Christmas walks. Thankyou for all the entertainment.
Thank you Mark for such a beautiful post 🇮🇪
I agree. Absolutely love her Christmas videos too I don't usually put up a tree so I really appreciate seeing all the beautiful decorations
Thanks Sinead,what a stunning area Belgravia is…keep em coming!
We will never stop :)
The history and architecture are marvellous. Tbe buildings and character are timeless. Thank you gor showing us around
Our pleasure, Annette!
Hi Sinead, your the bestest tour guide i love to watch. You've shown the most amazing places and i personally have learned so much. Thank you.
Your narrative of Belgravia was excellent. I lived for two months in Lowndes Square in ‘74 & enjoyed exploring the various areas. Kudos for your stories. 👍
Glad that you enjoyed the video! If you haven't done so already, you can hopefully check out our back catalogue of virtual London tours th-cam.com/users/FreeToursbyFootLondonvideos. There is more where this came from.
Hi Sinead, this was fun. I laughed out loud at the thought of my 20-year-old mini Reggie parked up next to those supercars. He may be a bit spluttery, but he has character! 😄
Thank you Sinead.... this was a fascinating tour❤ I hope you're feeling better after having Covid. Sending lots of love XX
Really loved this from Australia. Would love to do one of your tours when we come to visit.
Hi Sinead , we squatted in Eaton square in the late 70s - Our band rehearsed in the ballroom. What great memories.
We were kicked out by the Grosvenor estate via group 4 .
This has made my day 😂😂😂😘
@@ToursbyFootLondon I first found your channel with your "Jack the ripper tour" video, so fascinating, brilliantly made. Grma Sinead !
Wow, didn't know about that family...thank you sinead not only do you entertain you educated me you sly girl 😊 hope you have a wonderful weekend, week ahead hope you feel better ❤
Glad we could share something new with you!
I love London. I was stationed at RAF Uxbridge when it was the home of the Queen's color guard. One of a few Yanks there. Even though if I got a sever paper cut I'd bleed out what little British blood I have I have always considered England the mother country. Thank you for the tour of an area I was not very familiar with.
We are glad we could share it with you :)
Sorry to hear you got COVID again, glad to see you back making videos again, really enjoyed this on as always.
A very interesting tour trough a beautiful and amazing part of London ! Thank you so much for taking us with you on this magnificent trip and telling us so much of the history of this very nice part of the City , and thanks for sharing that with us ! Greets from The Netherlands !
What a wonderful compliment
Thank you
Thanks for the great work you do !
The Thatcher's house is a step up on the property ladder from the Flood Street, Chelsea one. Took more than a PM's salary to buy that one.
Hi,Sinead haven’t seen you for ages great to see you back used to love your walks 🇬🇧🩷
Excellent as usual....I could listen to you all day long.
beautiful tour of part of London. Thanks so much!
Our pleasure, as always, Leland :)
Wow nbr 2 actually has some plants out😂😂😂😂 like NY😊
Thank you Sinead for another post ❤
It does seem like 4 million yrs since we saw you .Know you're busy lovely
Hi Sinead!, I loved the video. The homes are beautiful. Thank you for the tour.
Our pleasure, as always :)
Lovely visit as always- Thanks soo much.
Our pleasure :)
I've thoroughly enjoyed this informative video. Subscribed.
Welcome to the channel, Wendy!
Lovely place you picked this time for us Sinead. With all my trips to London and being such a huge Beatles fan I have yet to go to Brian Epstien's residence. I must explore Belgravia and of course stop by Brian's old place on our next trip in September 2025 ! I always mean to check Free Tours on Foot, but I know London so well now I tend to do our own but I will check you out next time. Catch you on your next adventure - Howard
We look forward to seeing you in person!
Sinead, you are amazing. I was born in London in 68' and I swear I don't know half of the stuff you know. I always look forward to your vids 🎉🎉🎉
We are so glad we can share something new with you, Francis!
At no. 1 Belgravia Square is the Romanian cultural institute the building is been bought by the Romanian government, it was former Romanian ambassador residency.
Is a beautiful building. Inside and outside
I been inside many times
Thanks for the extra info!
Thought I'd watch two minutes as have things to do - ended up watching the whole video in one! , thoroughly enjoyed 😊
Delighted you enjoyed it lovely
Sinead
Thank you for a longer video after a bit of an absence! Looking forward to watching it!
We hope it was worth the wait!
Everyone has played all the types of characters of life what do I have left to play❤❤
Great to see you Sinéad I'm sure your super busy with tours love your channel sending warm vibes from Ireland ✨🕊️☘️ thinking of you the other day does seems like four million years 😂
Happy to see you back Sinead,thank you
You're welcome, Steven :)
Aww, sorry ypunwere ill, Sinead. It's good to see you back and sharing another charming and fun walk. I really enjoyefpd learning about the Grosvenors and Thomas Cubitt's influence on the development of this beautiful neighborhood. Thank you for entertaining and inforing us. Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed this one!
I learn and learn during view story. Thank you
Glad that you enjoyed the video :) If you haven't done so already, you can hopefully check out our back catalogue of virtual London tours th-cam.com/users/FreeToursbyFootLondonvideos. There is more where this came from.
Oh Sinead! That “FLU” had me sleeping for 15 days straight when I had it 2 years ago. I feel for you! Stay healthy🩷
Yes I saw London by getting out and rambling down the little streets every day and amazing things you would find
One of our favourite things is to just wander!
Excellent vid... packed full of facts, and very watchable. A long term resident in Eaton Square was Jean Dawnay, laterally Princess George Galitzine. She had connections to Bletchley Park , was an original 50's Dior model and married a Russian prince! She had a country cottage in Hampshire, next to a cricket pitch, and the cottage where I lived.
We love the extra info, thank you for sharing :)
I realĺy enjoy the video, Sinead. This place is so interesting, and the history is so important. Belgravia Tour, an excellent lesson of London with you, my so beloved ( and gorgeous as always) friend Sinead. Kisses from Barcelona. I ❤ you, Sinead O' Leary! 💋💋💋💋
Great sharing. Thanks. 👍👍👍😍😍😍
Glad you enjoyed it :)
A blessed Good Day Wowww what a nice Beautiful Quiet Place or Belgravia in London I love 💕 Beautiful Old historical and nice Houses, 😍 beautiful Designs, my Dream travel destinations Thank u so much for sharing Very Interesting story and Walk around tour video Godbless from the Philippines ♥️🇵🇭😊🙏👏👏👏
Glad you liked this one, Marvin!
I remember going to the spiritualist association, which was based in Belgravia square. They have moved to another location. Great video. X
Glad you liked it, Andrew :)
Hi Sinead, brilliant vlog with very interesting facts on Belgravia and those that resided and residing there. Thanks for sharing!
You are most welcome, Rick!
Super Video Sinead - just love your accent - as others. Yes, some of those London houses are the best & so classy.
Georgian is the tops though I am glad my flat in York St. W1. with me at the top was only 4 stories + a basement.
Easier in the South West now!
Bless Badger.
Sounds like your flat was in prime position!
BTW… you’re wearing a new lipstick! lol it’s more pink. Love it!! Try Chanel Raspberry! It would love fab on you!
Welcome back sinead
Does seem along time but worth the wait 👏👏✌️
We are glad you think so :)
Pete Townshend had a flat in Belgravia in the early days of The Who. I believe he shared that flat with his buddy Richard Barnes.
Hi! Sinead. Hello from Chula Vista California. It's been awhile since I viewed your channel. But, here I am again loving this tour location is so lovely. ❤
We missed you Rose
Thank you for a lovely walk! Hope you're doing well and recovering! I imagine you've had a busy summer so far!❤
Pretty intense right now lovely
No time for recovery x
Fab video 👋👏
This area is beautiful, like a planned neighbor hood with all buildings in the same paint color. I did some research on the criteria for a blue plaque. Do they ever recognize two or more places for the same person? Garden Lodge does not have a blue plaque but Freddie's family home in Feltham does. To me Garden Lodge represents him more than Feltham
There used to not be restrictions on blue plaques so some people (like Ghandi) have more than one. However, for many years the rule has been only one per person :)
Sadly very close to Victoria. And all the social problems that entails. Recently walked through Belgravia and noticed private security.
Oh, get well soon...best wishes
Love your tours. Keep up the good work. ❤❤
Loving this. Now I know where to visit when I’ll be in London in Summer of 2025. ❤
Enjoy!
Really, great video, loved it 👍 ❤👏
We are glad you enjoyed it, Simon :)
Great video! So much money around that area!

Gorgeous walk with you! Beautiful! Many thanks!,❤
You are most welcome, Leonora :)
Thanks a million for another interesting video. Belgravia is a lovely are but why I hate white color on buildings and in love with the London houses made from the red bricks and probably because white color is widely used worlwide in the hospital procedure rooms...What an analogy 😂
Ladies and Gents, I like it so much when you say that. Maybe we will hear Comrades 😂 so it will be ..Ladies and Gents and Comrades 😊
Anyway, the red lipstick is amazing and you were born to wear it. Probably CHANEL!? And what can be better in life as to wear the red lipstick and a signature Chanel n.5 perfume and living in posh Belgravia area of LONDON
From NW Moscow with ❤
So interesting to see this part of London with which I’m not familiar at all. No doubt you’re aware that the Grosvenors own just about all of Mayfair as well. Imagine how much they must rake in from rent and lease fees.
We are happy to show you something new! The wealth is staggering...we'd settle for just a single house!
@@ToursbyFootLondon I’ve mentioned the Farm St church to you before. That’s one patch of Mayfair that the Grosvenors don’t own. Fr Dominic, whom you’ve met, told me this.
Thank you so much, great information as always.
You are very welcome :)
I would love to see a tour of Brighton!
It's definitely on the list!
I was waiting for #36 where Q Victoria sent her mother to live. You did not show it. Fabulous tour. Thank you! Love from Canada 🇨🇦
Sinead did film it, but there was construction going on so the sound wasn't usable :(
Hello Shenad, greetings from South Africa.
