Lovely video, very relaxing. Only complaint is that the close up shots of flowing water look very glitchy. Rendering the video in a higher resolution, even if it's just upscaled, would likely have helped against that (I'm guessing it's youtube compression that did it, and that the raw footage is a lot cleaner)

Loved this, the music choices were great too 😊

I thought the horse was the narrator for a second. That would have made the video so much better.

I love the fact you mispronounced "pronunciation" while apologizing for mispronouncing another word 🤣

An episode of the bill series 4 episode 44 guessing game features some good scenes of trellick tower.

My mum lived there

With regards to phone, I've only ever heard "blower" used, though don't know where it came from!

Where is North Kensington? I've heard of South Kensington .

Baxter Dury - Trellic. The k is absent from the song title but it's all about Trellick Tower and it's a great tune as well. All I know is we're together now, together now. Here's a link to the video: ruclips.net/video/v5sdxN1Ia_4/видео.html

Always a delight to listen to you talk about various odd bits 8n reference to the city of London 🎉 Thank you for your thoughtful effortsv🌸🎉☔☕

Where is the Source of the River Thames? Mother Thames. . .

great video - often passed that building in watford and wondered if it had an interesting history, you never disapoint!

YOU'RE DOCUMENTARIES ARE SO VERY INTERESTING AND ENLIGHTENING, KEEP IT UP . THANK YOU .

Great stuff, excellent video

3:09 Almost nothing left of the natural forest, but yeah for England it’s not bad.

The music in the end compilation, coupled with the hard, futuristic for the time Brutalist architecture puts me in mind of Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange".

While I was still at school I had a girlfriend who lived at Alexander Fleming house. Her brother used to work at the cinema and used to smuggle us in. Happy days 🙂 (I would tell you about the pub, but I was only 15 at the time ;-) )

fae edinburgh here and gottae admit glaswegians are some of the best people in the world and i absolutely love going over there and especially when my antics involve the subway!

Excellent 👍

Truly awful and a perfect representation of the horrendous streets in the sky philosophy. (The building. The video was great). It was a perfect way to ensure continued intergenerational poverty. And don't get me started on Radburn design.

Trelech is not pronounced even remotely as you did, so it has no consonance with Trellick whatsoever.

It should be preserved of course but as an example of poor external design, its effects on the environment and people who have to look at it. I'd give it a coat of paint in bright cheerful colours just to upset Goldfinger of course 😉

A couple months ago me and homies were baked asf followed the River Thames from its end to its beginning on google earth lol, took like 20 minutes of scrolling🤣

I can't lie, Rob. I laughed so hard I started wheezing at the title. Excellent video as always my friend.

My cousin has lived at Chelsea Bridge Wharf for the past 12 years and the transformation of the area has been nothing less than amazing. Only a few years earlier you would get a clear view of BPS from her flat, now all you see is other apartments and maybe a tip of one of the chimneys.

I just finished reading a fascinating book about beavers. rivers are amazing things, and they come in many forms

This building was featured today on BBC2 Andy Oliver’s Fabulous Feasts. really interesting building. Thanks for the great video and the algorithm for knowing I want to learn more about it.

Ha when i was a kid we was in boys home and we would train it up 5o the tower from penge to get some h@sh lol we was 14 15. Then come back on the train to th3 nam Beckenham and get smashed 84 to 87 ahhh the good old days. Sorry had to share that.

The Devils Chimney was hewn out of the rockface by the quarrymen working on Leckhampton Hill. it is thought that the name Leckhampton was derived from the Leek fields that were common in the area many years ago. i grew up and went to school in Leckhampton.

It's called gravy

intreating video Rob.

I always enjoy the detail in Rob's videos, but this one hit a special note as Kingdom Brunel was truly a remarkable man who left a legacy that we often may use completely unaware he was the creator, such as a simple bridge spanning across the canal into Regent's Park. Gosh, that was a long sentence! Even his death left me astounded; that such a noble family had a humble and modest gravestone in comparison to some of the gargantuan mausoleums around that cemetary.

Thanks for no ads Rob 🙌🏼

We got a Wapping warf in Bristol and it's the same wall to wall IPA, craft beer drinking brown hatters

There has to be a point where semantics comes into play. However, the logical source should be where the bulk of the water comes from via "a river". The semantics are "How small can a river be before it's classed as a creek. Also, the bulk of the rivers water doesn't come via a river anyway, it comes from rain run-off from many directions. What's required is an agreed upon metric.

There was already a settlement there before the romans, they simply enlarged what already existed.

For several years, I was a member of CAMRA. When in London, we visited their top pubs of whatever year. I was driven as much in search of pub food and decor. This is a fine video, showing much I had missed out. The Old Cheshire Cheese is the only pub in this video I visited.

My mates and I use “greyhound” for a mobile phone (ie. a mobile dog). 👍

Thank you Rob. Thoroughly researched and professionally produced 👍 Excellent script and perfect voice over. I do like your cartoons and see you have a selection of your art work in your shop. You mentioned that the cemeteries had their own pubs. I read that London graveyards were used as a social meeting place ...rather like taking walks in the park. There is an entertaining book, in Upstairs Downstairs style, by Tracy Chevalier called ' Falling Angels' that gives look into the Victorian 'goings on' going on in Highgate Cemetery. I do enjoy your look at London series...nice for me to able to catch up on your back catalogue. Thank you 👍

Can't believe I didn't watch this before, how did you do all that research (unbelievable)..Very high standard video.

Another Fantastic video Thanks Rob. Not sure what I really feel about this brutalist genre but must say it far more interesting than the standard USSR era commie blocks.

Love the informative video on Goldfinger's architecture... But I think you should have included the recent debacle about Balfron Tower... Where Poplar/Harca, had to overturn their decision, having redeveloped the flats to sell to speculators based on the architecture, (Goldfinger as an arch Communist would have been turning in his grave!). I believe it's future is still uncertain... But if the original tenants get to live in those fancy apartments (I went to see a show flat), they'll be very lucky indeed!

The minder episode where Terry and Arthur go into the carpet cleaning business..

I guess I can begrudgingly appreciate Trellick Tower for what it is, and the zeitgeist it was created in... when progress was shiny and universally good and the stench of the Victorian slums was still in living memory. But thank god they don't build them like that any more, one is quite enough! Mid 20th Century planners certainly had their hearts in the right place, which is probably more than can be said for modern developers, but I can't help thinking that in trying to solve the problems of the grimy Victorian city they often threw the baby out with the bathwater with regards to local business, community etc.

The source of the Thames is the sky.

Il so glad I’ve discovered your videos there a niche that hits just the right spot

which point continuously produces water and is furthest travelling?

I think my GGGrandfather Thacker spent a little time in there, before being Transported to Oz (rather fortuitously, I feel :) RjB

Thank you for the education on number 10.. Being a US Yank, I always thought it strange that PM would use such a humble looking place for discussions of global interest. And also nice to learn that your leadership is just as messed up as ours.. I say we all unite with a pint and move on... Besides, Jesus will fix it all this mess soon.. 😊

In tests was a small crack
