Hi there, Thanks for doing this walk, this area as close to Oxford Street as all those familiar sounding streets in Soho, yet how many Londoners know there way around them I wonder. This is a great area to walk around. I love the way the area has evolved naturally, it doesn’t feel contrived in any way. The former Victorian mens toilet in Foley Street is an absolute gem.
@@WatchedWalker loved this walk as we come down from Glasgow every year & stay with my cousin who lives in one of the Fitzroy Mews off Cleveland Street, We visit the Wheatsheaf pub you walked by every year we're down. If you walk this area again please pop into Fitzroy mews & the mews around Warren Street & Euston road please 🤞👍😊
Effectivement, Fitzrovia est à découvrir. Je ne connaissais même pas le nom de ce quartier de Londres. Il est très diversifié et possède beaucoup de lieux remarquables. Merci pour cette belle promenade.
I used to wander around in the Fitzrovia neighborhood, I have so many memories from here. I love this area, it was a nice experience to have some nostalgia from the UK. It's fascinating, how creative they went with the brick art on the old buildings. I hope this summer or around autumn I will visit London again. Thanks for sharing and have an awesome weekend! 🙂
Once again a great walk for me bringing back memories of my early years as milkman when I would spend Saturday mornings knocking on doors for my money along Hanson street and Gosfield street nd my cistomers
Absorbing stroll, pubs and hotels with history are particularly interesting - thanks for the added info, it adds so much to the enjoyment of this neighborhood- I’m a George Orwell fan, ha!! 🥰✌🏼
Ah, the Marquis of Granby, great boozer 😏 And I once stayed in the Rathbone Hotel the night before my Archaeology exam, in the days when I had more freedom to roam around the City. Great memories. Been in the Bricklayer's Arms too! Couldn't do what you do, I'd end up on a pub crawl. 😂
Thank you so much for this video. I'd asked previously if you could do a Fitzrovia walk as I used to live at the top end of Great Titchfield St. As always, it made me homesick but in a nice way!
BroadSword 66, in Central London rubbish is left out like that to be collected as there aren't communal bins on each street like some cities might have, it's not usually out there for long.
Badshah, you're assuming everyone wants commentary. I provide closed-captions so those that want information have that option, but those that don't, can just enjoy the walk within distraction.
