This is amazing WW as I recognize so many areas in this video. As as example, at 1:26:48 mum and I sat on that very same park bench in the summer! That's in Holland Park in the section known as the Dutch Garden. And we walked through the Japanese Garden there too. We also visited the nearby London Design Museum. Also recognize much of Kensington High Street from around Whole Foods, M&S and past South Kensington Station. It really means something to be able to identify with these places! Of course for us it was in the summer with a totally different climate.

Very nice walk in the rain in these chic neighborhoods. I really like the Mews. Adam and Eve Mews made me smile!!. Some are really full of charm!!. Holland Park and its Japanese gardens, magnificent in the rain. this is my third time to Holland Park through our friend WW. There are covered galleries near the entrance, and each time I saw large murals that seem to have the French impressionist genre. When our friend WW gets back there maybe he can show us these paintings??. I have a curious nature about these things and that is a suggestion of course. I found Holland Park magnificent. But it was a very wet walk. Thank you WW it was a very nice walk 😀😀😀😀😀

Thank you friend WW. These very large paintings are under the covered galleries. In the last video, these galleries are near the entrance to the park. My quick impression of a woman with a big dress, made me think of Impressionists like Renoir. There's a gallery that has these paintings and maybe 2. But one, I'm sure. The Japanese gardens were beautiful. Thank you for everything. Good Sunday @@watchedwalker

Wow Watched Walker. Another wet walk from you! And 1hr 45 mins too. Is this your longest video so far? Anyhow, being Kensington, at least it's posh rain! Maybe in the form of mineral water, with droplets the shape of Range Rovers! Will take a look at this as soon as we can. Even after Christmas you are really churning these out at quite a rate! You could say your videos really are the cats "mews". Just a little posh London "street humour" there. Stay safe and keep dry, though it may be too late for that last part! ☔

Hello happy walker, and thanks a lot for this long walk. I am happy to see this part of London again, but I also noticed bins all over the place along some streets you went through. I cannot remember London being in that state before. And another thing that kindda hit me … where are our good old London RED buses ? I did see a grey borismaster but it wasn’t red ? Jubilee line ? Special livery ? Same goes for the London black cabs … seems to have many other colours now as before their use to be just a few in other than black. What a change !! 😳 can’t hold back my deception but fortunately London will remain London unless they decide to knock down big ben and Westminster abbey. Lol

My mum was brought up on one of the mews, Albert mews. They dray horses were stabled on the ground floor and the family on top. She said the outside was black, obviously because of the soot from coal and industry. The council ousted all the families one year, cleaned the houses up and painted them to sell. My mum was really sad about being evicted just so the council could sell her lovely mews childhood home. I recently looked at the prices of the homes in Albert mews and they were over a million pound each.
