Been an Anglophile all my life, my father was there during WWII. I only visited once, so beautiful. Still, young, healthy looking people, not distancing, so unconcerned for the health of others.
Chelsea has such a civilised gentle ambience, more so than anywhere else in town, I only hope it never changes. Walking down the Kings road, on a sunny Sunday afternoon, you can almost believe that all's right with the world!
This is what we can call civilization . Wherever I went I saw an amazing place and people . I like to go and see all in London again . England is England !!!
You are my favourite channel of London walks. You've kept me company and entertained me on many an afternoon., especially important this year! Thank you x
Great! Many thanks for uploading this video, I lived at King’s Court North for over eight years which is located right beside Casa Manolo where you stopped by and taken your time outside checking out those delicatessens. I do have wonderful memories but if I were to mention one of them is the one time I had in Pizza Express which is also featured in your video as Pheasant house, we normally used to prefer eating at Pizza Pomodoro(presently closed) which was packed and had a long waiting list so I offered my mom to take her to Pizza Exp.instead. So we sat outside and had our meals and I asked for the bill, waited for about 5 mins for the bill to be brought to the table but no hope..I repeatedly asked for the bill for numerous times within the following half an hour at least 2 or 3 times more until finally the waiter comes to the table and telling me off in a very inappropriately rude behavior and negative attitude that I was not the only customer and that I needed to wait like everyone else..?!? I said fine, I will wait but I told him to look around as all those people were customers that had arrived at least 20 mins. after us and most of them almost finished their meals and some of them even already paid and gone?! So I asked him one more time to bring the damn bill but he just walked off without saying anything..That very second I decided go in the restaurant and pay the damn thing to somebody and leave, as the whole situation was turning into something out of a twilight zone, a young sweet waitress lady approaches me inside and tells me the bill will be brought to my table in a minute so I go back to my table and end up waiting for another 12 minutes or so but the patience had run out and a round of completely new customers were already occupying the tables, starting to nibble on their pizzas... I had given one final look around but no waiters/waitresses not one single member of staff was in sight..it was almost as if we were invisible as well so I finally got up and dragged my mom along with me and just walked out and left without paying a single penny.. I guess this was exactly what we should’ve done in the first place, never been there ever since.😃
Marilyn Pizziferri if you got money and live in a bubble you will be ok, London's a dump. Notice how white it is?? London white is a minority, so you work that out.
Lots of positive and negative memorable moments in this video, a stroll down King's Road. In the seventies I was in the Metropolitan Police and posted to Chelsea. I walked this beat hundreds of times and have some good and intriguing stories to tell. Still a very vibrant street.
Loved this stroll round Kensington. Some lovely houses in quiet residential streets. So quiet, enjoyed the ambient sounds along the way. All the benefits of a wander without the sore feet! Thanks.
There’s actually a council estate of tower blocks behind that pub , The Worlds End estate . That’s if they haven’t kicked the council tenants out by now , it’s prime location !!
Bonjour Sanpo, cette balade nous a ramené 6 ans en arrière. Nous avions fait King's Road jusqu'à la très belle boutique de Vivienne Westwood World's End Clothing store. Une prochaine fois, nous explorerons les rues perpendiculaires. Très beau quartier de Londres que nous apprécions, superbes maisons dans le style victorien 👍🏽🤩 Merci beaucoup Sanpo 😊👌🏽
Bonjour Frantz, je vis à Londres depuis près de 20 ans, mais c'était la première fois que je marchais jusqu'au bout du monde 😆 Et j'ai pensé que j'aurais dû visiter plus souvent. les rues latérales ont leurs propres personnages et j'ai aimé me promener dans le quartier 👍
14:38 is the old Markham Arms, my favourite watering hole in my youth early '70s (I rented ar 23 Cremorne Avenue, World's End). Now a branch of Santander. What a shame!
Hello Sanpo Love the Chelsea area, to bad they did get to have the flower show though the Ivy restraunt tried to make up for it. Loved the colour houses down that one street. Did you spot the old Rolls Royce car straight out the show To the Manor born? Sad to see the Byrons closed. Most be a popular place for weddings that is the 2nd one I have seen in a RU-vid walk. Of coarse when I see the sign Sloan Square I think of Lady Di as she was a Sloan Ranger and lives in that area before she married Charles. Thanks again great video on my birthday. Chris and Sandra of Canada.
Happy Birthday!!! 🎉💐🍔 I hope you had a great birthday. It was really disappointing that the Chelsea flower show was cancelled, I was ready to visit this year. I didn't notice the Rolls Royce car, you are very good at spotting cars :)
This is zone 1, walking distance to Knightsbridge, Hyde Park and 10mins by bus to Oxford Street. London Borough of Kensington amd Chelsea is one of the most expensive areas in London, where a lot of celebs and footballers live.
I lived in The King's Road near Flood Street where Margaret Thatcher lived before she became Prime minister. My dog 🐩 used to hang around the front of her house as she had two Spaniel's and he wanted to visit them. I didn't know that she lived there but King's road had lots of famous people living in and around Chelsea in the early 1970's. It was full of Long Haired Hippies and Punks. Very cool and colourful. Once a week, very early in the morning approx 6am The Horse Guards cavalry would ride along the King's Road towards Chelsea barracks and then on to Buckingham Palace, with the Band playing to Change the Guard's. Very cool and colourful. So much more but another day.🐩🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴💂💂😃😃😃
1983-1985: It was a cold bare place was the areas shown in this video, I first moved to live in Kensington from the country in Essex after 27 years, Sloane Ranger women in fur coats in the Kings Road who would talk to me, I missed the Harrods bombing by 30 mins when lived in Knightsbridge, having walked past the store, things were bad then, it’s come up now around Harrods with street musicians and young people enjoying themselves, all the Routemaster buses have gone, even got a McDonald’s in the Brompton Road, I lived in hard times in that area.
As a northerner it was hilarious seeing that Spanish place advertise in the window £5 a pint. How much!!!!!! Lol I can buy spanish beer in the uk and get it for around £5 for 3 or 4 pints.
I worked on the kings road, 1980 until 1985, lots of great shops around then, but now days it has a different vibe, their used to be Chelsea Antiques market which was great, it is quite sad really.
Just saw that Anthropology was where Antiquarius was I think. American classics, god that takes me back, an old boyfriend always went there, that was right down the bottom, not far from Worlds end, there used to be a great pancake place me and my friend used to visit, My Old Dutch it was called, savoury and sweet pancakes, really large served in Delft plates
@@yasminmant2666 the Pub near to the Shop was called the Man in the moon, other Great Shops were, 20th century Box, Eat Your heart out, Rancho Deluxe, Boy, Flip, and to Eat pucci Pizza, the Chelsea kitchen, the Chelsea potter, and of course Henry J Beans, where i had my 21st Birthday Party, i Still Love Chelsea but Sadly it is nothing like it used to be, my favourite Shop their now is Peter Jones, Johnsons was next to American classics selling Retro 50s Style Clothing, and also Robot which was further down the Road, i really really Loved working in Chelsea.
Barry Hossin I used to come up from Tunbridge Wells in the mid 80’s , on a Saturday with my friend, and later with a boyfriend who liked going to Antiquarius to buy flying jackets and then to American classics to buy 501’s, everything was different and one off, all the high Streets look the same now , same shops every where . Used to go to Kensington high Street as well, where they had mini second stalls under one roof .
