Driving into Central London from the North. Important areas and postcodes marked and average property prices shown to give you an idea how expensive London is!
I live in Canada, I agree it's really neat I can watch recent videos of places and countries where my ancestors were and had probably driven on some of these roads.
I note these are The North London Suburbs near Hendon/Brent Cross/Golders Green then in town to Kilburn etc... Average price of a London Home is now £600,000 !....I wished I had kept my Council Flat in a neat 24 Flat Block just 2/3 miles from Central London Southside after moving to The South London/North Kent Sburbs in 1983. Would have been the best of both worlds. Loved living in Inner and now Outer London since 1954..:)
I drove into London today. From miles out, I caught a glimpse of all the dazzling skyscrapers. I imagined what all the stars and icons who live in the capital would be doing. Madonna was perhaps drinking fine wine in one of London's finest restaurants, Simon Cowell may have been talking business on his mobile phone while gazing across the Thames and the Queen was probably squatting over the karsi having a big old shit.
Looks like Park Lane and Hyde Park Corner towards the end. Back in 1980 I used to have driving lessons there and there were NO traffic restrictions or lights so "every man for himself". Same for the OLD Trafalgar Square so after that the rest of London and beyond in The UK became relatively easy...
That "36" Bus used to go to my Grammar School by Kennington Oval Cricket Ground in South-East London where I attended from 1965=1971. I would not dream of driving near Central London during the working week and even on Sundays now the Council Anti-Motorist Nazis have put in so many 24 hour bus lanes that driving there and being stuck in the second lane with bumper to bumper traffic isn't much fun. Lve on the edge and "use" London which IS fantastic and vibrant and varied.
@@WayToManyAssassins yeah it aint a sunny country, but we do get sunshine in certain times, especially in spring/summer, yet it rains far less than new york city in london
I love how I can just watch anything nowerdays

The clock tower is now called Queen Elizabeth (was St. Steven's) Big Ben is the bell inside the tower

Of all the UK journey videos this will forever be one of my favourite. Love the blue skies and atmosphere
Thanks.

That was brilliant. Thanks!

Nice video !
Love the forested hills heading into London.
Interesting streetlamps strung up in that section - 4 minute mark.
Well done
Great video I enjoyed watching. One thing - although it is inside the M25 Watford is NOT a London suburb it is in Hertfordshire :)
Ddd

When did you find all theses empty roads?

@50:47 if an asteroid hit there it would effect house pricing
King Harold could have done with this road in October 1066
Why did you say 2 miles to go then 10 mins to later 2 miles to go ?
London
Sunny weather in London wtf
It has its four seasons just like north american cities like new york city and chicago, it doesnt rain all the time
@@c3realK1ll4h No but it is often cloudy/overcast.
@@WayToManyAssassins how? Even in november right now up until 5pm it was light and sunny
@@c3realK1ll4h Maybe but the UK isn't a sunny country, especially in the north.
