Indeed, it was the Scottish actor ‘Brian Cox’. Who oddly enough tweeted last Sunday; ‘Just enjoyed a nice breakfast in Primrose Hill and I swore I spotted the famous KZreadr Hannah Ricketts!’

I was born in Gloucester Avenue in 1943 and it was rather different back then. Primrose Hill itself was my 'playground'. Not many people know this but the top of the hill housed an anti-aircraft gun and brick air raid shelters during World War 2 which afforded small boys great entertainment. Much football was played on the areas outside the playground, which we called The Swings. I recall bunking into London Zoo through the fence down by the canal and during school holidays I used to go to see Guy the gorilla. As I grew up my local was The Chalk Farm Tavern and I held my wedding reception there more years ago than I care to remember. I wish I could afford to live there now.

Is Guy the Gorilla an exhibit in the natural history Museum now? I think I saw him and spent time looking at him, my daughter was so interested in learning about his life etc. maybe in wrong.

@@patriciasanderson2171 :Hi, thanks for your interest. You are correct, there is an exhibit of Guy the Gorilla at the Natural History Museum. Your daughter might be interested to know that Guy was born in1946 and arrived at London Zoo on 5th November, 1947 (hence his name). He was captured in the French Cameroons and was sent in exchange for a tiger from Calcutta Zoo. He was 5'4" tall and weighed about 520 lbs. Back in the day when I used to go there the monkeys and apes were housed in a row of cages in a building known as the Monkey House (awful by today's standards). There was a barrier to prevent visitors from getting too close but a walkway enabled the keepers to go to each cage to feed the 'inmates'. There was a door at one end and I recall that one day I was standing by the door talking to the keeper when a woman asked if she could feed Guy some biscuits. He said to give the biscuits to him to do so but the woman walked past him and entered the walkway. Guy went berserk and attacked her - fortunately the massive bars and the plate glass window prevented this but I can tell you it was terrifying. Guy died in 1978 from a heart attack during an operation on his infected teeth which was caused by visitors feeding him sweets.

This Primrose Hill tour was beyond charming and how fortunate it wasn’t too crowded at the time. The architecture was pure perfection. Even though this was a shorter episode, it was most satisfying.

Taking a stroll in your delightful company is always something to be savoured, Hannah. Primrose Hill is a lovely bonus, and we always learn something new from you too. Your subscriber count is steadily growing, at the rate of about a thousand per week. So well deserved!

I love the interesting history of these little villages in London . Very enjoyable. 😊

Primrose Hill really does look a beautiful part of London. Almost like stepping back in time to a more traditional English town.

I think your history talks are MARVELOUS, Hannah; we get to bypass all the britannica faff and hear English history straight from someone who's lived there and has been immersed in it their whole life. I LOVE IT! Thank you, I can't wait to visit England - you've helped me so much build my bucket list!!

I'm sure that was Brian Cox (Logan Roy) Succession. Primrose Hill is definitely an area I would love to live - IF I could afford it.

Yay! Another lovely neighborhood in London. I’m glad they’re keeping the independent shops and vibe of the area. Thanks!

I do recommend London Zoo, it opened in 1828 and is the world’s oldest scientific zoo. It houses a collection of almost 15,000 individuals and is absolutely enormous considering it being in London. It stretches either side of regents canal. Most importantly with it being a conservation zoo it needs your participation to conserve animals not only in this country but all over the world. So please do make a visit, you will be amazed!

Orphaned young, injured, older, there are lots of reasons animals might need help to survive. These types of zoos aren't for profit. They exist to help wildlife and at the same time educate the public.

Ok, so there , you were right, actor Brian Cox from Succession, and he recognized you too! You are hitting these videos out of the ball park! Who will make the next cameo appearnce in your vlog next?

How lovely, I’m pretty sure many people are dreaming to live there with you.

I love how magnificent British architecture can be. The preservation of these streets must be top priority. Thank you Miss Ricketts for making this video. Best regards from the south of Spain. Maximilian

I love watching your walking tours, and I would love to see a walking tour/shopping trip around Soho area, they have some nice little streets, independant shops and larger shops, I feel it has chill vibes and a great day out.

I hate having to correct you, Hannah, but Lemonia is not Italian but Greek Cypriot, it's a great restaurant. Two minutes from Regents Park Road is Eton College Road, across the railway bridge, and there are great flats there which would certainly be within your budget. Make your dream come true!

Lemonia used to be my local pub - I was born and raised in Gloucester Avenue just around the corner. It was called the Chalk Farm Tavern (known as The Chalk) and was where I held my wedding reception many years ago. It was later turned into a theme-type establishment called The Lotus which was based on the well-known racing cars. I wish I could afford to live there now!

So happy u took us along the Primrose area- those houses are amazing. Ooh, feeling hungry after seeing these yummy treats.

How beautiful are your vlogs Hannah! Primrose Hill is amazing. You always bring the best places and things to show us. Wow, surely I would like to live there, it's really a wonderful area surrounded by gorgeous buildings and very cool shops, besides its own interesting history. By the way, I am enjoying a lot your comments on historical facts of all these places You're the best Hannah! Greenwich area is one of my suggestions to you. Have a wonderful FriYay!💐🏵🌺🌻🌼🙂💂🇬🇧

The houses in and around Chalcot Road are 1830 ish. My house behind the high street is 1885 which is the latest they were built. Belsize Park houses were slightly later as PH joined with Hampstead

Such a lush part of London! I love how you explain the history of the area as well!! 🩷

I visited Primrose Hill on my trip to London last year. Definitely one of the most pleasant neighbourhoods in the city.

I love Brian Cox.. well spotted Hannah😊..I love your channel and will subscribe now..sorry I didn't sooner..your fabulous ❤

We went to Primrose Hill today and had dinner at the Queens Pub. It was fantastic! Thanks for the recommendation, Hannah!

I LOVE the pastel houses! I would love to be Paddington Bear's neighbor! As for the bits of history, you put in the perfect amount of history mixed with modern culture to make your videos very interesting. 😊 (Your shorter hair looks great!)

You are worth far more than 130 000 subscribers! Every tourist should watch you!

Those homes are just gorg! I would want to live there as well. I wish we had more places like The Bread Peddler in L.A.

This is been a super nice series Hannah and Primrose Hill has been something really special. To be so close to the city yet seem like it’s such a far away village. It’s just beautiful. Thank you for taking us with you.😊

As a 69-year-old Londoner,I have tried, and failed, miserably, to see all of London and to my eternal shame,I have never visited Primrose Hill. I lived my first 29 years 2 miles South of Central London and then moved 11 miles away to The Suburbs,40 years ago, in 1983. I will return in the next 3 days for a Tour of Primrose Hill to rectify this,thanks to you Hannah and I have Subscribed.

15:40 Your humor is the best, Hannah. I always get a good chuckle at your little asides. Also, was thinking perhaps why the residences seemed empty - might be that people are buying up these homes as "investments," but not living there. Many places are being bought as such in NYC and close to where I live in San Francisco. PPS. Hopefully more chain stores won't move into the area. When I was in NYC a month ago, the line for Starbucks was wrapped around the block when there were handfuls of cute and charming coffeeshops to get actually good coffee and pastries from.

I was supposed to visit Primrose Hill during my stay in London but I didn't unfortunately. SO I'm so happy to see this video. Thank-you 😊

Loved Primrose Hill lovely shops and buildings, just brilliant.❤

This video was exceptional Hannah! As an American, I especially enjoy all the history of the places you take us. Thank you so much for all the effort and research you put into your videos!

This is by far my favorite type of videos of yours❤

So pretty, your vlogs make me miss London so much! With so many cute little suburbs you can never get bored or run out of things to see

I love 💕 it!! 101 Dalmatians was my favorite book when I grew up and Primrose hill was a big part of the story 😍

What a elegant and pretty place Hannah. I am amazed its so close to the inner London. Love the architecture and the cute shops, and the view from the park! Thanks again.

What a lovely walk Hannah the colour of the houses are so so pretty 😍 Aww paddington for the Window so cute. Love paddington ❤. Thank you for taking us a long really enjoyed it 🥰 have a lovely day tomorrow

love your walking tours they relax me ❤

The Primrose Hill walking tour was amazing I liked the commentary and music . also how clean it was 👍💐

Hi Hannah, I recently stumbled upon your KZread channel. I was in London on vacation last week, and I truly wish I had discovered your videos before my trip. They are incredibly comforting, authentic, and informative. I absolutely love them! 💞💞💞

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Brian Cox is a great guy, very down to earth, and considering his Acting fame, not at all affected by Hollywood etc. Have to say a Goat, for sure 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Just loved this Primrose Hill tour. Was super excited that you also love Lemonia. It’s a favourite of ours when we visit London to see family.

Thanks for all your tours Hannah! Love watching your channel.

Another quality video. My wife and I love watching them. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to do them, very much apprecaited ❤❤

I like it when you add a bit of history about the area.

Hi Hannah. I had one of those exhausting days at work so being able to come home and enjoy one of your videos was so nice and very appreciated! Thank you as always and thank you also for the historical information you provide.

Oh my goodness, the house with the little pink door was absolutely adorable! I would live there for sure. London is so very beautiful. Thank you Hannah for showing us around and taking us on your walks. See you next Friday, have a good weekend.❤️🌼

❤😊Only HANNAH could make such an enchanting London walkabout--The sunny smile of HANNAH gives PRIMROSE HILL a special glow & dreamlike quality. The pastel colored Regency townhouses, the grand Victorian terraces, the upmarket delis--eateries--bakeries--pubs & old fashioned lamp posts & more---HANNAH includes them all with some interesting history thrown in. And she "loves us & leaves us" on Hilltop Park with its glorious panoramic view of Londontowne! Such a wonderful dream...And Remember these words of wisdom from this vlog:::"Life is short---Eat the cake!"😊🍰

Hi Hannah, all those beautiful sorbet colored homes had me thinking about ice cream or a macaron. I just can't watch a Hannah vlog while hungry, you show the best places to grab a coffee or lunch. So enjoyable!

Yes it was Brian Cox .. great actor

James McCartney and Sean Lennon made a song about this place! So cool to see it in this video!

You are a beautiful breath of fresh air… innocently amusing and effortlessly charming. But remember history is never boring, it’s the telling of it that reflects our emotions towards it . Accidentally filming MR Cox was 😂 so funny! Keep it up.

Love your architecture comments. London is just jammed with beautiful buildings. Maybe Belsize Park next?

I enjoyed this “relaxed “ Sunday morning video.

Fantastic vlog per usual Hannah. Thank you again. ~Love&Light♥️C.

Lmao it was the guy from succession 😂 he was looking at you like “hey I want paying if I’m on camera , no free ride”!

I loved the Barbie cake (always wanted one as a child but Mom always made our favorite cake-not complaining). Hannah, you look particularly beautiful today.

The Primrose Hill looks lovely! I will definitely visit there when I’m in London next time. Thanks! 😊

What a fabulous place. If I was a multi-millionaire I would love to buy one of those houses, use it as a holiday home and have a holiday in London every year. Hi from Australia.

Yes I would love to live there , thanks for sharing 👍👍

Hannah,You know God created the world on the way of your beautiful two green eyes 😎😇

Us slightly older folks know Primrose Hill as the place where The Rolling Stones took an album cover picture....and Paul McCartney would walk his dog Martha in the 1960's....He also wrote "Fool on the Hill" from an experience on Primrose Hill....

Reading weather has been great, very lovely.

Primrose Hill is gorgeous! Love to learn the history of the area as well. I remember the walking tours from the lockdown era - such a difference from then to now. In a heartbeat - if I had the money, I would definitely live in one of the pastel houses... or any of the charming homes. The restaurants, cafes, pubs, bakeries and coffee shops are everywhere. I cannot believe fall is right around the corner! Oh my gosh, time is flying by.

Hey beautiful Hannah, how do you manage to look so elegant and gorgeous on just a weekend stroll through these different parts of the City? Primrose Hill I have heard is a great place to spot the occasional celebrity type and those restaurants looked quite good! Looking forward to you Fall vlogs! Stay awesome lovely lady!!! 👍✌🤠💟

These are AMAZING!!! I'm in the farmlands of Kansas and love watching your videos to remind me of so many wonderful times visiting London. Can't wait to get back soon. Thank you and please do more!

Looks like such a lovely peaceful place ♥

Thank you Hannah for another lovely video. The pastel homes are beautiful.

Hi from Arizona. I absolutely love watching your walking tours! It is like I am taking my own personal tour with you. Thank you Hannah!

Would love to see you take a walk on the wild side and give us a tour of Grimsby.

What a lovely little tour of this beautiful area. Thank you.

GREAT VIDEO HANNAH ❤

Thanks for the tour!

I would definitely live there! It’s a place I can only dream about. I love all the individual shops, and the history surrounding it was interesting. You describe areas very well, you are so knowledgeable. I enjoyed the tour and the associated stories. The houses are amazing. Yeah, I could live there easily😊 Thank you
