Great tour for historic sites in London. It's amazing how much details of history are in this magnific city. Sinead is the best guide for us in revealing what is behind scenes. It's a pleasure to watch your tours.🤩
Wow Sinead, you never cease to amaze us with the wonders of London & vicinity. One week is definitely not long enough to really see and appreciate everything at a comfortable pace. It's a shame that the New Scotland Yard Police Museum isn't open to the public even if only a few days a month, by reservation. America is full of Police Museums, from the FBI to City Departments, and all are open to the public. I have heard of Londons "underground railroad" for the transit and evacuation of public officials. The U.S. once operated a clandestine "shelter" for members of Congress, Cabinet, and their families known as Greenbriar in West Virginia which was given the appearance of a resort, staffed 24/7 by federal employees. Primarily for use during the Cold War. It's a real resort now

Thanks for another fab tour! I absolutely love the area down near the Thames even if it is touristy! Thank you for showing us those lovely views and I might just cry when I hear Big Ben again! The QE Tower went into refurbishment 4 days after we visited in 2017 and was silent in 2019.
thank you Sinead for such an interesting tour of Whitehall and the Victoria Embankment, . Although I was born in South East London and later moved with my parents to Bexleyheath in Kent I never went on any tours of central London. Even when I worked in the City of London area I still never went looking at the famous places. I used to go to the West End of London and visited a jazz record shop ( called Dobells )in Charing Cross Road I rarely bothered to visit other parts of Central London. Nowadays I live in Clacton on Sea, Essex, which is 70 miles from London and I am age 70 now; so do not do much travelling . I look forward to all your videos. Cheers.
Just fascinating Sinead. I love your videos. London is the most wonderful city in the world (at least to me), and each of your videos just makes me love it more. Thank you!!!

I don't think I've ever listened to a video on British history and found it so interesting. Subscribed and am working my way through. Certainly recommend.
Great historic sights of London England. I enjoyed it can't wait to see more soon. Your videos are always enjoyable and relaxing. Have you ever been to Sudeley Castle? I heard it's haunted and a great place to visit. Have a great day greetings from Canada 😀😀
Thank you for your videos can't wait to holiday with kids in August 2022 in london. Even though I have been and worked in london from the Midlands you have give me so much information. To make our walking holiday a lot more fun even though the kids will hate it lol.
Sinead and a new video, "A Great Day." Sir Joseph William Bazalgette, one of my three favorite English engineers, up there with Isambard Kingdom Brunel and Augustus Pugin. . Sinead, when you walk out your front door you're surrounded by hundreds of years of history, so lucky. While at the York Gateway you were so close to one the most obscure/overlooked streets in Londen--"Lower Robert Street" not Robert Street but Lower Robert Street. It has been called the most Creepy-scary-secret-ghostly tunnel street in London, sounds like a fun walk lol. My opinion here: The most outstanding person of WWII "Churchill" and the most outstanding Machine of WWII "The Supermarine Spitfire. Thank you Sinead for a historical watch.... Coffee Time.....
Sinead you do such an awesome job! Thanks for taking us along. Loving all your knowledge and it is all so interesting. I would also love access to that Crime Museum. Would be amazing! The Sherlock Holmes museum/eatery is a great idea! YET ANOTHER place for me to visit .... the list keeps growing! Keep going please Sinead! LOVE your videos! This one was FAB!
Hi Sinead, very interesting video but I can not believe after the Queen Mary steps you walked straight past another Thornicroft statue of General Charles Gordon one of the most famous people in the Victorian age and the building he is standing in front of is the Ministry Of Defence, shame!
Sensational tour with so much grand and historic British history. Thank you, Sinead. Everything was so noteworthy. I was especially fascinated by the Battle for Britain Memorial and Cleopatra's Needle.
Thanks for your continued support, Lisa! We’ve started another channel you might be interested in, featuring walks in cities all over the world: ru-vid.com/show-UCDqyEmKOSkMbSYuLI3XTSBQvideos
I only learned about Boudica in the past year 😳 How did I miss this queen?!? She sounds like a total bad ass! 💪👑 Her name means “victory” - no WONDER Victoria was facinated by her ❤ Interesting that the best and longest royal rulers in Britain were women - Boudica’s spirit was with them all ❤❤❤ If you really want something done… appoint a woman!
I just found your chanel. I never have been in England. So you make it happen in some way. I love it. Thank you so much! 💗🤗 PS: But I know the tragic story about Boudicca. If she wouldn‘t have failed, I wonder how England looked like in our time?
Glad that you enjoyed the video, Lillie. And what a good question to ponder! If you haven't done so already, you can hopefully check out our back catalogue of virtual London tours ru-vid.comvideos. There is more where this came from.
Recently found your channel and been quite ill, your tours have cheered me up immensely.Sinead is a gifted tour guide, so thoughtful, charming, and interesting. I hope that one day I can take a real tour with her...what caused the damage during ww1 to the base of the Cleopatra monument and the sphinxs?

I share your interest in the more gruesome aspects of old London. Is it possible to get a look at the one man cell just west of Parliament (right on the Thames) where newly condemned traitors were briefly held until a barge arrived to take them to the Tower?

@@ToursbyFootLondon what tours are you personally conducting between 24 August and 2 September? I want to take some of them. Also love your black trench coat.
Wow! wow! Wow! Sinead, that was fab. I could listen to you all day. I wouldn’t be able to walk the streets of London like this without it completely exhausting me in the process due to MS. Thank you so much for your interesting commentary xx 😚

Thank you so much Sinead, for another great video tour. Always very interesting, love your voice, so calming with all the hustle and bustle going on around you. Hoping to come down to London next year. Take care, God bless you. ❤
Thank you, Sinead for these amazing tours. I love London, she is so full of history at every turn, the city is so old. You feature so many things that I missed!
Wow lovely tour and descriptions in the video. Very well done. London is my number one place to visit in post Covid to do double decker bus ride videos and ride the underground and walk around too 😊😊😊😊

well, this was a morning surprise. I enjoyed hearing about so many of the places I've seen over & over. South bank is seen regularly. Thanks for pointing out the new Scotland Yard. I have seen the Sherlock Holmes pub, but never inside. I love that passageway with the pubs on either side. So much magic to be found in London. Thanks again!
Many times she is repeating information a few different times so we can use the best cut! I promise, all the interesting bits get left in for you all :)
Thanks again for watching! If you know of anyone else who might also enjoy these videos, please share us with them. We would really appreciate that! Thank you.
Good question, Lori! The office sits on the site of the former Palace of Whitehall. When King James VI of Scotland became King James I of England in the early 17th century, he moved his court down to London and lodged all of his Scottish courtiers and friends in the Palace there in rooms along the river - giving the area the name. So the name Scotland Yard actually predates the creation of the police by just over 200 years :)
