@@DonBean-ej4ou Eh? How is the BBC "Communist" when the director is the son of a wealthy banker, ex Chief Executive of the Royal Opera House and a Lord and when the BBC airs many shows such as The Apprentice, Dragon's Den, British historical dramas, various quaint old British antiques shows, Match of the Day, American Football... You people are so deranged by overly right-wing politicians. Yea I find a lot of trash on the BBC, but that's just TV in general now because companies like Netflix and so on have taken over the market. If you don't want to pay the licence then just use a computer hooked to a large monitor and you can find FAR more good shows online than you can with a tv. Most tv channels now just stream their content via the internet anyway and often tv shows are rather poor quality as a result of low bandwidth. There's literally no reason to even own a tv anymore and in any case they don't even police it anymore really. I know tons of people with tvs who don't pay the BBC licence anymore and nothing has happened.

There has never been a Communist nation, only nations that have tried to attain it through Marxist-Leninist Socialism and/or State Capitalism (USSR, for example).

If I can't be in London, this is almost as much fun.

Nimbleful EVERYTHING is damn interesting if you look into it in depth. Seriously.

When I left London for the last time, after 5 happy years there, I treated myself to a hat from Lockes. I loved the way I was fitted out, and thought of all the 18th Century gents that went in there, in their breeches to get their tricorne hats etc!!

Did you hear it? Our uproarious laughter from across the pond during your Churchillian take whilst seated in his chair. Masterful. And we were left wanting more of sis's salty songs and her wink-wink, nudge-nudge randy humor. We like.

So many shops that have existed in the 1800s no longer exist. There was an upholsterer and cabinetmaker at 92 Jermyn street. His name was Richard Tait. He had royal patronage. My 3rd great grandfather worked for him. Floris is one of the shops of that era that has survived to this day. Alot of the 4 storey Georgian houses built in the 1700s have been demolished. Unfortunately we cannot go back in time but we can admire and learn from the past.

Back in the late 80s there used to be a restaurant at 57 Jermyn Street called - imaginatively - 'The 57'. When I was a pianist doing those sorts of gigs I had a stint at The 57 and it didn't matter so much what I played, as long as I played extremely quietly. Most boring three hours of my life. Definitely not boring was on the way to this gig one night I was on the Piccadilly Line, passing through Kings X on the night of the fire. There was smoke in the tunnel and a lot of stopping and starting but we got through. It wasn't until I was at the gig that I found out what had happened....

Los Angeles had a restaurant shaped ones like a brown bowler hat or as the name was called the Brown Derby. Its gone now but it was a giant Brown Derby shaped restaurant. It was it the USA show I Love Lucy in the 1950's and a lot of Movie stars ate there!

You and your videos are the best on the planet. Golly, but I do love listening to you and learning so much. Thank you, Joolzy ....

Tremendous. I worked for 10 years in the building across the road from Berry Bros & Rudd, you picked a great day for the video, brings back a lot of fond memories. Couple of things in that area if you ever choose to revisit; 78 St James's St, the old head of the conservative party (unbelievable interiors, the dome in the centre is spectacular), one street up, the final place Chopin stayed before his last public appearance; he was employed by the Rothschild's as their Paris-based paino entertainer in their upscale club (I forget the name, it was near the Champs Elysees) and further down on that street to this day is the headquarters of the Rothschild family office. Finally, Chequers pub, mason's yard.....well, I'm sure you know the connection and for anyone that doesn't, Sam Williamson covers it in his wanders round St James's. Thanks Julian, that was great!.

Great job with these videos. My wife and I just returned to Tennessee from London, and we visited a few places you covered. Thanks for the tips. Send thanks to Lou and Simon too, as they add so much to the production.

Any down-time I had when working in London I would spend wandering about looking at buildings, often on pub crawls, some Victorian shops and office buildings are works of art, Whitechapel/petticoat lane being my favourite,

Theres a hat factory in Brazil called "Fábrica de Chapéus Cury" . They claim to be the manufacturer of Indiana's hat. It's situated im Campinas, São Paulo, near to where I work.

A shop I always visited in London was 'Trumpers' in Curzon Street. I'm female but I just loved it. Such a beautiful place with delicious lotions and potions

In 1999 I ordered an "Indy" hat from Herbert Johnson hatters. I actually ordered it from Richard Swales himself. He's the same guy who fit and shaped Harrison's hat for "Raiders of the Lost Ark". In 2004, I believe, he was mentioned by name on the Indiana DVD box set, and promptly retired. I keep the hat in a safe place.

I have been to that tobacco shop. As an American visitor and premium cigar lover, I stocked up on a lovely selection of Habanos there. Beautiful area as well. Nice service, the sales people told me Madonna has been in there, and a bunch of other American celebrities. Mind you, this was back in the 'cigar boom' of the late 1990s.

I would love to visit that tobacconist. Man, how awesome that would be!
