Sunday chat over a pint in the historic George pub in Wanstead East London. There's been a pub on this site since at least 1716 (see the shot of a historic sign on the side of the pub) and it's reported that Wetherspoons have put the lease up for sale. Read more here wansteadium.co...
While drinking a pint of Adnams Ghost Ship I answer some of your questions and generally chat about London. Some of the topics covered include:
Old London Traditions such as the Knollys Rose Ceremony
encounter with the magical walking elf
the proliferation of St Mary's Churches along the Thames from Battersea to Rotherhithe
Soho in the 1950s and Iain Sinclair's Pariah Genius
visits to North America and the Continent
Favourite tube stations
Problems on the Central Line
Hugenots in London
Roman London around Westminster
Best gig memory
What does it take to be a good Londoner

I made the mistake of 'popping in for a pint' at the Brewdog Waterloo on Saturday. Its probably the biggest drinks venue I have been in. Bought a pint of Waterloo Gold, £7.55, £8.10 with a forced service charge. This gripped me so much and it seems petty, but I took the glass home and their soap from the toilets too.😆 This is the state of inner London pubs and outer London pubs are dying as very few people drink in them. I suspect I am the last true pub generation being mid 40s. Young people rarely drink in pubs, its too expensive. In 1996 it was £1.50 for a pint and we used to mock Iceland (the Country) for having £6 pints as everything was imported their. Middle age anarchist, in the UK.

Forced service charge? I've never heard of that in any pub, but I will now avoid any Brewdog pub in future.

@davidjsingle 3 месяца назад

Not much better in Australia. I struggle to find a pint for less than $11 (about 6 GBP). It's criminal.

I'm the only Orient supporter that I have ever met in North America. My dad, while we were on vacation, took me to match when I was 5, and I've followed them ever since. The answer to the question, 'why them, of all teams?' was that Fourth (?) Division tickets were cheap and in great supply on a cold and rainy winter's day.

I was brought up in Uxbridge, I have supported Tottenham since I was 14. I have also lived in South Woodford, Woodford Green, Hainault and various other suburbs in and around London. What I love about your videos is that you walk in places I know and love. As I now live in Oregon and miss my England home so much, seeing your videos is really nostalgic. Also, what you said about how you like to take your books along as companions for a length of time....I have been doing that exact same thing with your book, This Other London. I have been reading that book for about a year and I really do not want to finish it. I have been savoring every page, every work and every anecdote. It's one of my favorite non-fiction books of all time. Thanks John,

28:35 - think that's true. No new trains but the good news is all the Central Line's 1992 stock is being hugely upgraded, John - new brakes, moquette refurb, LED displays in carriages, new vinyl flooring and automated announcements. And if you've noticed the trains from Leytonstone to Bank arennot only less frequent, but much slower, you're right. Because of the worn stock, new speed limits have been put in place until units are updated - it should improve travel time as well as go back to more frequent trains👍

I grew up around Tottenham Fans and met player Steve Perryman he had a shop locally, a sports shop. He was really kind and gave me front row tickets to Wembley, 1973 they beat Norwich. I was a young boy in a children’s home. So I stayed loyal to the team for a long time. I was drinking Adam’s Ghost Ship, zero alcohol today. Good choice if you have to stay off booze or drive or not want alcohol. Because it tastes great, as does Zero Guinness, and the Leffe.

I love Wanstead and to see you in the George brings back my 1960's memories and of course 1950's when I lived in Wanstead as a young boy. When left school I worked for the Express and Independent printing works which was in Wanstead. My parents owned a Cafe at the top end of Nightingale Lane ( Now Indian I think ).

@shaunfulton7261 3 месяца назад

Once again evoking fond memories for me - I lived in E11 from 2013 - 2016 and loved a drink in The George and The Walnut Tree because of their fine selection of real ale. A refreshingly non-snobby take on Wetherspoons.

@williamrobinson7435 3 месяца назад

@Suho1004 3 месяца назад

I grew up around NYC (never lived in the city, but was never too far from it and spent a lot of time there) and then went on a university exchange in London in the early 90s. About a year after that exchange I moved to Asia, where I've now lived for most of my life. I've traveled a lot around the world as well, and I don't think I've ever consciously thought of New York as most resembling London (or vice versa), but I get it. It's hard to put my finger on it--it's not necessarily the geography or anything concrete like that, but there is _something_ that feels... akin, I guess. Also: Go Gunners! I started supporting them during my exchange, and though I don't follow them as closely as I used to, they're still my team. (The England match was a bit frustrating for most of it, but boy were there a few exciting minutes at the end there.)

And I'm proud to be trying to know as much of it as I can, even though, as you and your friends from university said, it's such a huge and ever changing city, we'll never get to fully know it, but that's the beauty of it. In regards with New York I totally agree with you, it's very similar to London. I went a few years ago with friends who also live here and we all agreed, we felt like we were in London.

I was born and bred in Watford which many people think is London…and I do love London which my father adored as well. He taught me a lot of little back routes which amazed my husband when we used to walk around the Greys Inn Rd and Covent Garden areas where I used to work. You might guess…my football team is Watford - come on you Horns! Which I still follow here …don’t understand all the Aussie footy. I keep telling them it’s not footy ☺️ keep on with your wonderful walks and I think I might try Iain’s book and Mrs Galloway.
