How cute! Nicolas looks like a young Stewart! They are even dressed to match.
Thank you!
I believe you mean "younger", he's still a young man, mind you
Stewart and Nicolas are twinning. :)
Stewart is elegant, relaxed, and charming without any pretense, he’s just being himself. So refreshing!
Totally agree - such a nice guy!
@@NicolasFairford Yes - despite his obvious success - he seemed very down to earth and approachable.
Such a delight! This London series is beautifully planned and executed. Stewart is indeed such a wonderful person--relaxed, animated, elegant all at once. Thank you, Nicolas! 💕
I'm so pleased you are enjoying it x
A particularly beautiful episode. So please to see Sophie out and about. More of her please!!
Noted!
Hello Nicholas, what a treat to o see London and Stuart the Courtier . This video reminds me of my lovely friend Patrícia Pinto. She is a dedicated costura Her Atelier is situated in the heart of Funchal, Madeira. Her attention to detail is ..... superb. She is a good friend, and I love her dearly. Wonderful to visit
Chelsea Physic Garden.......
Such a long time!. Best love, Valérie.
Love this conversation. Being a woman and now in mid-50's, clothing that fits for confidence is EVERYTHING. What a lovely, beautiful place. Thank you for taking us there Nicolas.
Miss Sophie is so precious. I had a miniature poodle named Sophie who passed away in 2007 at 17 years of age
London is beautiful. I enjoyed seeing the architecture and gorgeous parks.
Most of London is not like this sadly.
Dogs really do capture our hearts x
The gardens in London are gorgeous and peaceful. Sophie seemed to like them too. Thank you for including her in this vlog … she is adorable and the two of you are so stylish together. Stewart is a fantastic designer. He is also a very handsome, charming man. Enjoyed hearing his stories. London can be a bit overwhelming, but there are so many hidden gems there.
Thank you so much! Hope you enjoyed
Nicolas you captured Belgravia perfectly in your usual calm, beautiful style, so realistically I actually felt I was there with you!
So glad to hear that - Thank you so much x
Today is Father’s Day in the USA. Wishing all the dads out there whether from the USA or any other country a Happy Father’s Day. Also, to all dads that have passed as my dad has may they Rest In Peace. ❤️❤️❤️
His subscriber numbers are a clear indication of how greatly he resonates with the desire out there for more joyful, authentic sophistication in our lives. It's always a pleasure to tune-in to see what treats he has for us next!
In spite of the heat, everything looked perfect. Very much enjoyed that interview.
So glad you enjoyed it!
Greetings, Mr. Nicolas Fairford. Thanks for filming & sharing the beauty of Belgravia, London.
Your chat with the lovely gentleman Stuart was very informative. And showing us fabulous places to visit. Thank you so much for sharing your day with us all.👍🥰
My pleasure!
Hi Nicolas my name is Patty! My husband and I lived outside of Cambridge in the late 1980s it is there I learned my gardening skills. I am not a great gardener but my garden does look nice. Anyway,I always enjoy your gardening tours and seeing London brought back great memories. All my best from the USA 🇺🇸
Wow, I lived for two years in London, and didn’t see those tranquil flower filled gardens. Wrong side of town probably.
London is just huge!
Julian Fellowes' "Belgravia" is a wonderful novel. I read it recently and I recommend it.
Good to know, I just picked it up in a charity shop. My lucky day. Thank you 👍
I agree
I would love to see the photo of the Queen in Stewart’s dress!
Thank you for this nice video🌷I lived in London for a year for 40 years ago and have beautiful memories of that time, for example the Chelsa flower show, I discovered yr channel recently and enjoy yr videos, I will take a time to visit all those nice places again.
YOU BOTH HAVE IDENTICAL HAIR STYLES!
His is better than mine!
@@NicolasFairford both perfection 👌
Thank you for this lovely video. I live in this marvelous neighborhood, unfortunately, due to some life choices, I had to opt to leave the UK. I deeply miss my house, those grand streets, Chester square, Elizabeth St... hope you had a heartwarming time there. Enjoy your summer in the UK!
Sorry you had to leave x
sad, I travelled 5 times a year to London and have not been able to travel because of Covid, so I know how you feel. I miss it so much and Elizabeth Street lovely to visit.
@@darlenechandler2403 Belgravia along with some other parts of West London are highly coveted locations but do not limit yourself just to London. Surrey, in particular, Virginia Water and Weybridge might be also to your taste. I thought that the ease of lockdown will usher in the glorious return of the UK social scene, judging from the Royal Ascot it did not happen, ergo no need to hurry back...for my heart does not simply miss buildings/nature, but the lifestyle.
@@ladycatherine7696 Hi: My friends actually live in Weybridge, Surrey and I do love it there too. Beautiful area. I so look forward to getting back to all of London.
I echo C. Jackson's sentiment. I love London. So many beautiful parks. Thank you for showing us one of the most beautiful parts of London.
I told my mom in Iceland about your calming lovely videos. Thank you for beautiful.
hi Nicolas ..Im 63 from Canada. Iam so digging your channel..You are the most motivating person ive come across.. You have such passion for your age.. it took me many years to obtain that, now just looking at a flower makes my toes curl. Loving your content and will continue to watch your videos..Your newest fan from Canada xo
Nicholas what beautiful gardens, Love the gorgeous architecture too. Great interview, the roses in vases on mantle very pretty. Thank you for another super video.😘❤️🌹🙏
So glad you enjoyed it!
Really fun video with no sign of the heat Nicholas...would love to have a few everyday pieces from Stuart in my wardrobe! What a luxury that would be!
I would love the same!
Clones! Right down to the hair! Both admirers and creators of beauty! Stewart is like your creative Uncle! 💜
You're the best!
Thank you Nicolas for bringing these little moments of happiness! Looking forward to the Live.
My pleasure!
Nicolas, this video was so beautifully done. Thank you for this beautiful tour. I love the beautiful grounds filled with such variety of beautiful flowers. I also enjoyed your interview and seeing the beautiful dresses and gowns. Thank you for the audible books info as well. Looking forward to your next video.
So glad you enjoyed it! x
I love London. I used to live there long time ago. I enjoyed the tour, Stewart's story and his store so much. Thank you Nicolas! xoxo
Love Belgravia 🥰, thank you for bringing back the lovely memories of the time I spent there.
I always look forward to your videos. Will definitely go here on my planned trip to London this October. Hugs from California! Xo
Belgravia is so beautiful, the book, the show..all of it. Thank you for this lovely video.
I'm so happy you enjoyed it x
Ah, London. So lovely to see it. Stewart seems like he's had and has quite an interesting career. Thank you for sharing. Happy weekend, Nicolas!
Thank you so much x
It was so beautiful and peaceful. You managed to look cool, calm and collected despite the heat! Thank you!
Thank you very much!
Great video Nicolas. You are a natural interviewer. Thank you yet again for a classy production. Despite stiflingly hot weather you looked as handsome and elegant as ever!
Thank you so much x
@@NicolasFairford You are so welcome. I could see you organising bespoke tours of cultural interest.
Everybody's hair look so good
Thank you!
Such a beautiful video, but then, all your videos are! Thank you so much for sharing. You did capture a lovely part of London. Not only are your videos very informative and gorgeous, but they are also extremely therapeutic and meditative for me. I can feel the stress melt away as soon as I tune in . . . forever grateful to you for that! Much love and blessings to you!
I am so happy to hear that! Thank you!
I fell in love with the blue floral number while listening to the interview.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful place in London. How beautiful and tranquil it is including Stewart's boutique. Maria
Fantastic video. Would also love to see you visit the Scottish highlands or isles. You are a wonderful guide. Such a peaceful video. Even the Audible nod did not seem intrusive; you integrated it so well into your content.
I'm glad to hear your thought about the promotion. I always want to make it feel part of the story and interesting for viewers
I woke up not feeling very rested or at peace today. Watching this video helped me relax and enjoy the beautiful sights of England. Thank you.
I was so excited to see this video. I miss London due to the pandemic and this was a great video and makes me want to get back soon. I own 6 pieces of Stewart’s clothing. I’m not bragging it’s just that I love his clothes so very much. I’ve had some pieces for years. I buy items that can be worn a number of ways. It’s like having 12-14 outfits and since I’m more of a classic dresser, they’ll never go out of style. He’s absolutely correct on sizing. I have 36 inch hips and a 22 inch waist plus long arms. It’s very difficult for me to find clothes that fit. Either the waist is to large or sleeves to short etc. His workmanship is impeccable. This was a lovely tour. Thank you 😊
Excellent pt. 2. I've been to London several times but I end up dashing around to all the tourist sites and museums, theater and restaurants but I've never taken the time to just walk and explore. Thank you for convincing me to explore without an agenda. I always say when your under pressure don't let them see you sweat. You accomplished that with your easygoing and calm way of speaking. Have a restful weekend. 😊👍
I think just walking around is a really fun way to explore and see things that you would usually miss! Thanks for your kind comments, as always x
Hi Nicolas and thanks for showing us this part of London. Belgravia is a very classy place. The mansions are very attractive and look like little palaces. The gardens, a dream indeed with Foxglove and the loveliest Peonies! Didn't realize that so many green places still exist in the city. Enjoyed your interview with SP and getting a peek of his very beautiful clothes and very down to earth but super elegant style. Looking forward to your next video.
This was a breeze of fresh air ! Regards 😊 ❤ 👋
Thanks for your kind feedback - so happy you enjoyed it!
The gardens in Inner Temple are a GREAT shout. They are stunning. I work nearby and there are hardly ever tourists there because they don’t know about it.
…let’s keep it that way! ☺️
Stewart's hair is E V E R Y T H I N G
Definitely hair goals!
@@lianecornils8733 amazing, fantastic
@@lianecornils8733 lol 🙄
@@lianecornils8733 it means it's amazing
Stewart seems so genuine and kind. Excellent video as always, Nicolas.
Thank you for taking me on vacation- Beautiful!
Hi dear Nicolas,Such Amazing you deserve to the fullest.Thanks for all the film you do it’s always nice to see.🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🦋💙🦋🌿🌿🌿.
Stewart is a kind un-egotistical designer. Rare. So generous-thanks for making this video 👍
So nice to be introduced to Stuart and hear you have a conversation with him. He is such a nice person! Great insights of places to visit in London. I always look forward to your videos!
He really is the best!
I used to live in Elizabeth Street: it’s wonderful to visit again. Thank you x
Thankyou, how nice of Stuart to share those wonderful stories and tips with us. Nice to see Sophie walking around Edinburgh .Another tranquil vlog with pretty gardens and grand locations.
What an excellent glimpse into a bit of London. Having read a bit (and being more than a bit fascinated) about The Queen's various jewelry, Stewart Parvin's name naturally comes up quite a lot when articles comment on the accompanying clothing. Such a treat to hear the chat between the two of you. Belgravia indeed is a stunning part of town for a stroll, rather hearkens, at least to my American imagination, Georgian promenades. Weathering the heat whilst enjoying a day out is always a challenge for me. I abhor overly humid days, so probably would prefer the climate of the Highlands much more. On that note, should one ever fit your schedule, a traipse through the more rustic parts of the Highlands would be very interesting as a viewer. Such a stunning landscape around every corner, I'd imagine. Lastly, Sophie is so completely adorable. I have a male Shih Apso in my extended family, deemed Peppermint by my nephew, who has brought countless hours of laughter with hijinks and personality. Congratulations on your channel, and very appreciative of the great content.
Always a pleasure to watch your video Nicolas....💗
Beautiful, Nicolas, truly beautiful. You gave no indication of the heat of the day as you strolled about. London has such exquisite gardens as does all of England. Being a true Anglophile, I never tire of the topic!
Thank you for your visit to Belgravia and the gardens in the warm summer. Love to see you walking around Edinburgh. You did capture London and I know how hot it gets in London in the summer, I try to travel in the Spring, Fall and winter to avoid the heat in the public transport and lack of air conditioning in some shops and restaurants. So thank you for looking so refreshed and well put together in the heat of London. All was beautiful.
So glad you enjoyed this episode, Darlene x
@@NicolasFairford I so enjoy all of your episodes and so look forward to seeing them.
Hello Nicolas, Thank you so much for that beautiful voyage. Well done, you are getting better every time, I love it, See you in your next video
I loved this! The Garden is so Beautiful. Looks like you had a Wonderful Time in the City!
What a beautiful episode. Thank you.
I used to work in The Star! Belgravia is gorgeous, around Wilton Crescent and Motcomb St are my favourite bits
Thank you for taking the time and effort for making this part of London I have never been to. The historical part of it is also very interesting. Thank you again.
Hi Nicolas...enjoyed Part 2 just as much as Part 1. Belgravia is certainly a beautiful neighborhood and your interview with Stuart was very informative! Thanks for the tour!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Simply splendid Nicolas.
Thank you so much x
Inner temple garden was spectacular...Belgravia was a treat to see and loved the interview with the queens fashion consult. Thanks for the marvelous video. I couldn’t tell you were even slightly warm....You appeared cool, calm and collected. love MJ
Planning a trip to London next July 2022 and staying a block away from Buckingham Palace. Looking forward to many "Afternoon Teas"!
How fun! Hope you have a great time x
That was such a treat. I've heard so much about this part of London. Stewart was so kind and gracious during his interview (and so handsome). I love these little trips we take together. Love from South Africa
I want to go visit London. Until then I am so glad I have your videos. Thank you!
Belgravia is the only area of London that feels like home. Even I can't afford to buy a property here yet, is where I spend all my free time. It just makes me happy and less homesick.
Just by watching you couldn’t tell it was hot it appears cool and breezy! Great show and love your little Sophie!
In love, I watched the period series belgravia by Julian fellows loved how beautiful it was.
This channel is so relaxing, good for the soul
Such a relaxing video to totally expunge the recent scenes of football fans in Leicester Square and remember London’s historic beauty. Thank you.
You are the only person I know who can be in the heat, sweat and still look sooo good! LOL. Thank you so much for the effort you put in making your videos! I have really enjoyed your channel and your voice relaxes me. Thank you!
You're the best! Thank you so much x
Nicholas, you should really have your own show on the BBC 👍Making the world more Beautiful 👍👍👍
Too kind! I would love that x
Loved this! Brought back such wonderful memories - in 2006 my husband and I rented a mews house in Belgravia for a week. As an American, I didn’t know anything about the area. I just knew that I loved the photos of the street, interior of the house, and the rooftop garden. Little did I know that it was in a fabulous neighborhood with the most over the top stunning architecture and gardens, that my next door neighbor was Sean Connery, and that Andrew Lloyd Webber lived a block or two over. I was amazed that people casually parked their Lamborghini’s on the street overnight. Truly one of the most incredible neighborhoods I’ve ever seen.
What a fun story - thanks so much for sharing!
The Grounds Are BEAUTIFUL 🌲🌱☘🌿🍃🌲🌱🌿🍃🌻🍷🛍👠👠👜👛👗
Thank you...for Taking Us Along With You...👏👍🇺🇸
Gorgeous. Would love to see your take on beautiful Hampstead and/or Highgate.
Good idea!
There is Sophie delighting herself in the beauty of London; I wish I could join you, Sophie. Belgravia is another beautiful place to stroll and admire. Thank you, for taking there.
My pleasure!

So glad you enjoyed it!
Wow I'm moving to London soon and I have stumbled across this I will definitely be going to see the garden 💓 Belgravia is a beautiful area of London
Thanks for sharing the beautiful garden!
Beautiful Suburb of London. Beautiful Mansions
Enjoyed revisiting Belgravia since my trip to Carnaby Street in the 1960s. And especially the Inner Temple gardens.....my 4th great grandfather was a partriot in Philadelhia with revolutionaries who had been accepted to the Temple before signing the Declaration of Independence. Such great blossoms in the heat!
Love your wardrobe, Nicholas. You always look so nice.
So kind x
This was so enjoyable and informative. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. I especially liked the garden and the interview with the designer. And you even showed me my dream (seriously just in my dreams) wedding dress. So simple, so elegant, so perfectly beautiful. Thank you!
As an Englishwoman I feel so sad that most of London has become so ugly but thanks for showing us this beautiful part.Also thanks for bringing some normality back.
I loved those beautiful dresses and I fell in love with those serene gardens, I could almost feel the soft rays of the sun hug my body, with what joy I would lose myself in those delicious places! Thank you !!!
Wonderful walk ,I saw Sophie as well which I haven't seen for a long time ,thanks Nicolas !
Thank you Nicolas! This is an amazing video. You combine both beauty and fashion. I have been working in fashion for 25 years and I appreciate so much both this designer and the gardens. Such an honor to meet this amazing designer.
I love this channel I can't afford to travel the world so this is the best thing and Nicholas your videos are so awesome to see. Thank you for sharing us such beauty.
I am so happy to know you enjoy travelling with me x
We just adore all of this! London is just fabulous in summer. Belgravia is such a beautiful area. Thank your for sharing this with everyone! Especially as the world opens up! Xoxo from Canada.🌍🌏🌎🐾🐾
