I can't stop watching these videos. I am obsessed. Love seeing these brilliant horses and hearing the commentary. Thanks!

I love it that the beautiful nod of the horse showed how in agreement he was with you, I just burst out laughing at that😅

What a great way to start the morning while getting ready for the work day, watching a guy walking around in London also on this gloomy Monday morning. Your commentary is not only educational but comedy gold. It’s amazing that you can walk around such stunning architecture in calmness compared to hours of boring concrete freeway commuter traffic in Cali. ☕️ 🍩

Hi Susan if you're watching from Washington DC! Glad you enjoyed your trip to London, and thankyou for being the sort of tourist that we viewers love to see...the polite and friendly ones! Best wishes from the UK! 😊

The view of those buildings in the back, are just beautiful. So much grand architecture.❤

Massive confusion about the horse... 😂 Titan (Blues), Overlord and Q10 (Life Guards) are the giant horses we occasionally spot, but this one threw me. Confirmed 100% that he is in fact a horse we have never seen at Horse Guards before - and his name is Radford. 🐴

Indigo is so perfect. You sir are an ambassador for the Guards and Horses. Several people in my town watch you.

Thanks John for the walk today. I used to get my school train from Charring Cross . It was always the day before or the day of my birthday. Mummy would be carrying my birthday cake! The station was full of children in all different uniforms. This was the 1950's. All the memories your walk brought back were wonderful ❤

Stunning horses,all guards look amazing well captured

Thank you for showing all the lovely sites walking to Horse Guards. It allows me to see London which I’ll never be able to see in person

Awesome footage as Always John 👌. Thanks for all that you do 😁😁🥰

The first horse you showed is quite unique. His "eyebrows" are dusty grey, giving him a more senior look. He's become my favorite.

Did you enjoy your evening last night with your beautiful new friend?❤

THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH SIR. THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ALL OF US LONDON. I GET TO SEE WHAT GOING ON IN LONDON. I DIDN'T KNOW LONDON IS SO BIG. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND ALL YOUR FRIENDS SIR.

Unless things have changed, that sweet shop you passed was full of what i,d call American Candy, the Swedish fish, Charleston chews etc. Give me wine gums and Trebor mints any day, another lists of items I have to stock up on each visit back home. And yes Momartra, place d,artist's etc very much like it.

So enjoyed the walk and sites. I watched a Hallmark Christmas movie,set in London. I was thrilled when the bus passed Horse Guards. I said outloud "I know that place!" There wasn't a soul to hear me.😂 Thank you, John❤

I love that English humour!

All the guards are very considerate of children. Lovely to see this ❤️

Good morning John. 🇨🇦♥️🇬🇧

Gosh he is gorgeous, I wonder how many hands he is? Wouldnt like to fall off! Thank you for the walk around too! Hope you're wrapped up, Its so cold here in the NW UK!!

Oh, i really enjoyed the lovely walk to the kings gaurd. Love seeing your city. Best to you today....

What a beautiful walk in the beginning . Lovely buildings everywhere . Thanks for taking us with you .

Thank you for the walk from the Savoy this morning.

Thanks John enjoyed my walk with you and you laughing and the different sights the horses are beautiful love to you and family x

Fantastic Beautiful Horses . 🇬🇧😊🐎💕💕💕💕💕💕

My voice too, I once sang God save the Queen, and dearly loved Elizabeth got up and left!!!!!Never sang lullabies!!!!

Thanks for reminding me I’m going to have to find something else to do instead of watching the gorgeous horses and guards next month John😢 Dreary day today, especially compared to yesterday, but then, the weather here is just as changeable, “4 seasons in one day” as Neil Finn had it. The horses looked resigned lol, but as beautiful as ever. Reckon the Blues are just wanting to get everything done and back into the dry at Hyde Park, and I can’t say as I blame em….but wow didn’t the LifeGuards look utterly SPLENDID riding in, in their scarlet cloaks and shiny tack….like red gems on grey velvet! That’s not to take away from the more subtle splendour of the Blues tho. Northumberland and his rider in particular looked the absolute picture of a mounted guard. He really does intense and brooding, very well. Lol had to laugh at your chat with “our favourite trooper” Yep, in 9-10 months we may well see him, struggling to stay awake like every new dad known to creation, on a horse lol. We shall ALL be looking out for that I’m sure 😂. Gotta say too, it’s been nice to be able to see more of the human side of this lovely young man thru your friendship with him, John, and that’s really cemented him as a real favourite for me. They’re all lovely, but some just have something extra.

I am Ike the lady from Washington DC, I never watched your channel, but now I watch it every day, and or evening. I even mentioned your channel to a quilting buddy of mine.

I worked in a building at the end of the Aldwych and commuted to Charing Cross did your walk in reverse for years. Amazing to see what has changed and what is the same thank you

Hi John, love your walkabouts. I'm from New Zealand and when we go shopping we can stay sheltered because the footpaths are covered by verandas. They also shelter the shop doors so rain doesn't blow inside.

It’s a cute Christmas Mouse.

All the horses here police and guard must be the most beautiful and well kept in the world!! ❤

My favorite lifeguard horse, Indigo.

Its good seeing london through your eyes love old buildings etc thankyou

Thank you John for your video, my favourite trooper and horse as well. Have a good evening 😊

John can you find out from trooper Ellis if he is there this week with the lifeguards if he has any information on Aŕnie/Raden if she is coming back to horseguards or has she been retired. A lot of us have been wondering why we have not seen her for a few months.

Horses seem in good mood, not being mauled. 😊 Group of children seemed well mannered, group leaders kept them good distance from horses 👍

afternoon John it's absolutely pouring it down here typical English weather I will come to London and visit horse guards would to meet radan and the other horse of course its Indigo am I right john

I’m from Mississippi USA and I love watching you ! Getting to see the city was really cool!!!

Thanks

My ancestry is British-Irish. When I looked deeper, and who really knows for sure, it seems from London. I’d trace clear back if I could. Anyway, I appreciate these walks so much. The buildings are endlessly fascinating and if I were younger I’d visit. Thank you for what you do. ❤

.love your channel from East Tennessee...i've learned so much about the horse guards watching you....the other channels are nice but boring its so quiet...keep up great job

The Life Guards horse on the left, facing from the street, is so beautiful. Pricked ears and very alert. Walking back is hardly difficult for those healthy young men. They run further if they do packdrill.

Hello john thank you for sharing this video hope you are keeping warm it's pouring with rain here in lincolnshire when is the last day we will see the kings horses

My first place of work was in Bedford Street just off the Strand, the walk this morning took me back to those days but my goodness I do not recognise the place. Looking back with the lens of hindsight I thought the Strand was a more 'gentle' place. Civil Service Stores, great place for shopping, Top Shop and of course, Charing Cross Hospital. A different world to what we see today. Yes I am going back to the 60s and 70s but everything seemed so quiet then. Thank you for your videos and your walking tours and, of course, the wonderful Kings Guard.

I was in London in 1960 and saw horse guards with gold saddles.

Nice to walk down to Horse Guards. Dispite the grotty rainy weather with a nice traffic jam to compliment the situation. Not alot of people in front of HG at least the horses are not being bothered by tourists.

Is that sweet horse ( Indigo) ?🇬🇧😊🐎💕

Thank you for the London walk , please do more when horses aren't available

Hi i live in manchester but come to london for my medical treatment so i have seen most of london , mostly by ambulance but by foot covent garden by name and travelled on the underground ,all over london to get to several hospitals but i would love to see Horseguards , maybe one day .love watching the horses and the guards but i am afraid i get a little cross with the mums who put their children at risk close to the horses . my regards liz .

Appreciate your horse guard coverage very much and especially when you slide in a bit of a walking tour. What a beautiful city.

Oh John, you just mentioned heart disease, as I was eating a Bendicks bittermint. 🇬🇧😄

Its good everyone is getting to recognize you john ,well done.

Dr Johnson said, When you have seen one green field, you have seen all green fields. Come with me to Fleet Street and study men!

🤣🤣🤣🤣this made laugh..thank I love your witty commentary❤️

❤Titan is lovely, looks like part shire . 👍

I love the way, Handsome Indago stands, he switches from one front leg out and then the other😊❤

Thank you for this amazing Monday. I've longed to be in London to see the gorgeous architecture and the gorgeous grey, cold, rainy weather. I live in Arizona and I feel about the sun as many Londoners feel about the grey wet weather. I'm overly sensitive to light and heat, so I've changed to a day sleeper and up all night. Maybe one day I will tap you on shoulder at horse guards and say hi, give the horses a pet, while wearing my bobble hat just for you, John. You brighten my days and I love your sense of humor. Thank you for all you do to share your city with us. You've no idea how much you are appreciated for someone like myself who is bedridden. Hope you got a date with Angie from Mexico. She was adorable. 😉 Merry Christmas to you and your family and fellow Londoners. And of course to the guards, police and horses. Cheers, Sherri🥰

Anyone notice horsey in the right hand box striking up a pose like so many lady tourists do. Horsey put his/her right front leg forward and bent it at the knee 😂😂😂

Savoy brings back memories of the 60’s for me…expat now n Tasmania 🌞. Thanks John, I look forward to your broadcasts 🙏

Amazing job & hope you enjoyed your magical evening💐

Can’t wait For part 2. Hope you don’t get to wet John, please wrap up and keep your midriff tucked in 😂

Love the way you do your video

You really do make me smile, you have a wonderful sense of humour , you spare so much information.

I have only watched half the video so far but I did enjoy the walking tour..I am saving the rest of the video for my relaxing time after cleaning my home..❤

Thank you John for that lovely walk today when horse Guards shuts down will you be doing walks around London?? I'd love to see the lights and site's at night I've been told its lovely all lit up. Great to see indigo back.❤❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧

So great to see all the sights you have in your lovely country. I live in Canada so a little far to go. Plastic cats. Lmao. 😂😂

Thanks for the great video. I just love the horses of the Kings Guard. 💖 Val 🐨

Titan looked like a Clydesdale what a beauty 💙💜🩵🐎🐎🐎

It rains there all the time, you all can send rain to Texas, we need it, the weather you all have would make a person sleepy

Love your sense of humour, very funny 😂

11:14 The lane closure on Whitehall north-bound, is in place until 8 December to allow for roadworks

I am pleased you do the videos means I don’t have to come to London so thank you John xxxxx ❤❤❤❤❤

Your City is so very beautiful, the buildings so graceful and the nature compliments them. Thankyou for the walkabout!

John you are hilarious !

Funny seeing all the.phone booths...dont see many pay phones here in Arizona..then it does not cost 10 cents....wow saw a wifi booth..good idea.

I love your walks through London I get to see the city so great. Can’t wait to see Christmas in The UK and the horse guard to.

Walking on the Strand makes me remember one of my London visits. We had a superb roast beef dinner, roast carved at the table, so I had my outside cut, waiters all had to be in their 70s, lol. It was Simpsons in the Strand. What a culinary experience. This was 1954.

Hello Susan from Washington DC.. Good name!

Wow, they go all out on Christmas lights. Beautiful.

I was right, it was Indigo!

R.I.P sweet Indigo xx

Oh, but something was taken from you yesterday. It rhymes with “smart” … your ❤! 😉

Hi John it’s great commentary from savoy to horseguards you must be well fit ❤❤

You’re so lucky having the police on horses there it’s a magnificent sight. Wish we had this in Belfast xxxx

That big horse in the front looks as if it has shire in him. Beautiful horse

*@LondonCityWalks* Hello John, what a good day for beginning a great week. Your delicious good humor, as always. A nice meeting with a kind tourist, and·and·and···, a wonderful gift🎁 with one of the great beauties: this beautiful *#INDIGO* ! 🐴 ❤ 🎉🎈🎉 Thank you John for offering us such high quality content. See you soon, have a good day and come back very soon. Stay safe ! ~ P.S.: Why can't "pickpocketings" be prosecuted as an offence, and a criminal one at that ? If they're caught in the act. Why do you have to deal with them personally ? I don't get it. Thanks if you can answer.✌✋

❤ Gor, sitting watching this, in a massive Thunderstorm, he loudest bang I've ever heard😮. But, won't deter me watching 😅 28/11/23 Adelaide, South Australia. Love your vids and love the Household Calvary.🇦🇺♥️🇬🇧👍🐴⚔️🛡️🥰😍

Titan almost looks like he's part Clydesdale he's so huge!

It's been tipping it down in Chatham ( Kent ) today John

You are 15 hours behind me its Tuesday morning 3.55 am here

Re getting around London, both times I was here, walked, seldom took a bus.

I agree it does remind me of Paris

I belong to a retired club and a few years back we came by coach to visit London in November and ir was manuc being stuck un traffic like this 😮😮

We can see that it’s very gloomy there, the lights over the main gate are on.

John i enjoy your videos when you showed places in london now back at horse guards i hope they'll all have a nice break away from the tourists whatever they'll be doing training or whatever else they'll do when will they be back

John, I have a question, the police always seem to ride the dapples, most of them, are the horses picked for each job, to the point of maybe their personality, they’re more laid-back, they’re more relaxed. Do you know if this makes a difference as to what job they’re assigned to?

john, could have done a close up on Private Ellis. He passed at the bottom, at minute 37.

First off I had to go back several days to send this post to you. I love your post enough that I go looking for you specifically for my morning fix. Lately you seem to be missing. I sure hope you are alright as you are missing more that on. There are not many days left of the horses before they shut down. Please have a beautiful Christmas with love all around you. God bless you and I will miss your walk abouts.
