My aunt had a flat above the offices of Thomas Wallace, Flower Importers, from 1947 to 1970. It was at 41 Wellington Street, about 50 yards from the Opera House. Trucks bringing in vegetables from the countryside were allowed to start unloading at midnight. Trading went on throughout the morning until bells rang at 11-00 AM to signal end-of-trading for the day. Bow Street Police Station, original home of the Bow Street Runners, the first police force, was directly across the street from the Opera House. It was the only police station in London without a blue light over its entrance---allegedly because Queen Victoria objected to seeing it when she exited the opera.

Why even speak English if you are going to speak it like this?

Excellent video. Enjoyable and informative. Hotel recommendations?

Beautiful creations ❤

Beautiful 👍❤️

Thanks for the beautiful and informative video. A hidden gem!

Great video!

Una volta ho visto una strana donna a Parigi, che aveva una rete di ragnatele sul viso e un fluido nero che le colava dagli occhi e nella scollatura di un bellissimo abito bianco di pizzo di Bruxelles. La donna era un serpente. Mentre si avvicinava, sentivo un odore terribile, come quello di una tartaruga morta cotta con le uova. Non potevo nemmeno muovermi e la donna ne ha approfittato. Mi ha baciato sulla bocca e ho iniziato a soffocare. Per fortuna è passato un poliziotto e mi ha liberato dalla presa della bestia. La donna malvagia volò quindi su per le scale fino a Montmartre come spinta dal vento. Poi ho avuto un'eruzione cutanea su tutto il corpo, sembravo una specie di giraffa storpia, senza gambe e senza coda.

Amazing job on the editing and the quality of your footage. Keep it up more videos please. subscribed

Insightful video ❤

Thank you Erica for your wonderful video. This is one of the few videos that show people that “inside” the beautiful buildings exists a wonderful art, musical and culinary culture. In 1971-72, I saw over 50 operas in the Vienna Staatsoper (all in standing room for about $1 (10 aus schillings); today about 13 to 18 euros) per opera. If tickets are difficult to get consider standing room. Add to your list: musical concerts by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in the Musikverein; and talking a quick look inside the National Bibliotek in the Hofburg. Thank you again, Erica. 😊

Quand on n’est pas Montmartrois…surtout de la butte Montmartre 😂

Thanks!

turn the music off, it is louder than your voice and makes you difficult to understand, why are you playing music anyway? It ruins the video,

Steve I think the poor blokes name was , is , was a million times better than w#£nksy

I’m viewing from Spain 🇪🇸 missing home! London 🎉

New sub here

Lovely video, thank you ❤❤

Great footage.

France is so spectacular, is in a league all it's own, Paris is spectacular & Montmartre is so spectacular!! I have stayed there numerous times & I fell in love the first day I arrived there. Each time I plan to return to France/Paris, I will always stay @ Montmartre. It's a wonderful Parisian arrondissement, it really is & contrary to popular belief, it's not dangerous, dirty or overrated. On the absolute contrary! France & Paris specifically, do cop a negative wrap @ times, but in truth, France & Paris could never be overrated, for France is an incredibly beautiful & wonderful country & Paris, is such an amazing city. So much so, that each time I'm in Paris, I always hear people who say they didn't want to visit, are now so glad they did & they've even fallen in love with this beautiful city & it's not hard to see why. Paris does have that special something & it does possess the "wow" factor. No doubt about this.

What an absolutely wonderful video! Your videography is beautiful and stirring. “Paris” couldn’t and shouldn’t be shown be seen anywhere else.❤

Wonderful short video thanks I appreciate u. N I’m French too just reside in the u. S. Whenever I return home I do the tourist sightings. 😝 I love it too.

There’s a song called La bohème, its about this place

Great Video

Love your video.

Haha, please don't I have recently hurt my ribs in a fall. Le misraballs 😅

SAKRE HEEUUR

Good video! Please share how to book the Georgian style town house that you stayed in as introduced in this video. Many thanks 🙏

The painting of le Moulin de la Galette was painted by Van Gogh and not Picasso.

I’m puzzled why a documentary about Henry VIII ‘s palace of St James has the National Anthem of the USA as background music?

I think the enormous skeleton hanging from the ceiling in the entrance to The Natural History Museum belonged to a female Blue Whale. Yes, the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum next door are definitely worth a visit!

Great vid..!!

I need to visit those Kyoto Gardens one day... never knew they existed =O

Your awesome 😊

I used to go to the Electric Cinema when I was living in London. I just love the building!

Very helpful. Thanks Erica ...

The!hey, thank you. nice editing~talk you later~=)

Did you visit Salzburg while you were in Austria, Erica? I have heard that it is especially beautiful during the Winter season. Very Christmassy!

I wish I could go to London and skate.

You skate really well!

Wow! I spend my Christmas in London every year since 2010, and didn’t know about it! This year I am sure going to Kew Garden. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for your hard work Erica. I didn't know that Kew Gardens had its own Christmas Show. Very impressive!

A secret oasis.

wasn't Moulin de blute-fin painted by Van Gogh and not Picasso?

Beautifully done, and very informative. Thanks Erica!

Love this video. Great content inspiration. 👏

Thank you for all the bits of history you gave us about Montmartre and regions

Flatbreads have a long history in the Mediterranean region and the Middle East. In particular, the “idea of rolling bread with a filling is very ancient in Turkish culture” says Mary Isin, author of Bountiful Empire: A History of Ottoman Cuisine. During the mid-17th century, the 4th Earl of Sandwich traveled to Turkey and other regions in the Ottoman Empire, which may explain where he allegedly got the idea to ask a club or restaurant server to make him a sandwich back in London.
