Well researched - good stuff 👍

Never even thought to ask myself that question

I think rivers should be measured by tracing whichever branch has the largest volume of water flowing. Sadly the rules for determining which branch is the river in question is not uniform. For instance, by this rule the Mississippi wouldn't trace north into Minnesota but instead east in the form of the Ohio River.

The sign of the cricket, is that where the ancient Martians landed?

You, sir, seem very kind and nice. Thank you for making this really interesting video. Take care.

I remember one near the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead. Technically it's still there but it's a completely different design to the other 13.

I think you've found the topic of your next video..."Why all the Naked Boy Alleys?"

Soul crushing architecture. Like being hit in the face over and over, forever. Interesting content though.

Really enjoying your videos and the straightforward clarity of your presentation style.

Bodies of water actually migrate and move with time, so it could very be the case that the body of water moved elsewhere.

Beautiful footage. I'm a yank but spent years over there. I miss it dearly and need to get back.

Bleeding Heart Yard EC1 might make a good video.

Absolutely brilliant & enlightening. Those poor people. Very well narrated. You bet I'm subscribing !

Im from cirencester..interesting documentary 👌

Ultimately in Space if you go back far enough

Random fun fact: the current light switches and plug sockets are made by FocusSB, brass plates Look exactly the same as gold plates, just a lot cheaper

Superb video - well researched, well paced, informative, great videography, and very relaxing. Thank you!

Those flats look like they've got a disease...

I LOVE MY COUNTRY I LOVE ENGLAND

The reason that I stopped to watch this was seeing the name Isambard. I've only heard that name before while watching Netflix on of all things "Danger Mouse." The narrator was named after him. Of course I subscribed!

Really enjoyed your video , reminded me of when i worked there for a week or two in the early seventies as an electrical apprentice . The company i worked for had a maintenence contract there back then. So glad it wasnt demolished .

Thanks for a fascinating, although quite sad, video. I love all the history in London. You do a great job bringing it to your subscribers.

Up the road from me is the Port Talbot steel works which was probably on a similar size scale as Battersea. This ic closing down as well. Very interesting video. Thank you

Shouldn't B have been boat meaning face ? [ boat race ] and N for North meaning mouth [ north & south ] ? and M for minces ? { I was a big fan of '' minder '' during the 1980 's }

All your videos are interesting and good to watch. Thank you Rob

Sorry but I don't rate him as an architect. The tower is a blot on the lanscape for miles around.

Very interesting, to learn about the history and locations regarding Christmas Carol

Good job Rob, as ever :)

Let’s support these channels where actual human effort has been put into it! Let’s stand up against AI generated channels and rubbish AI commentary

I have two things to mention Firstly - very interesting video as always Secondly - Thank you for listing your music in the description because after four years, I FINALLY know the name of the song you used at the end of your video that I keep hearing in KZfaq!

Great video. Now I need a pint.

Greetings from New Jersey! I really like your videos. The topics covered and presentation are always great.

Very interesting and informative glimpse of history. You've clearly done your homework well. Many thanks!

I am deploying beavers to all three locations as we speak

I always found a 'Time Anomaly' at work- despite working for long hard hours I would find that I had barely begun my shift at a job I did not like.

Well made

Great video.

Great fun.

Thanks for the video! It's way too late in my life I've been curious for a while. Why and how so big and to which extent, I was gathering its an old aristocracy building :o but believe it or not, I didn't know there's a famous garden there lol. I'm curious how big, given its location. Did all aristocracy have gardens, a trend perhaps? Taylor and such I imagine just had yards while very wealthy

When I am in Baker Street, I realise I'm not as far from Oxford Street as I would like to be 😢

Thanks, Rob.

All the barriers, bollards, armed guards, iron gates, cameras , concrete blocks and anti terrorism measures were never needed before we were strengthened by diversity. When I was a kid, you could walk along Downing Street unimpeded.

I remember accessing the telecoms on the roof a few years back to do some maintenance. There was graffiti in the plant room and the door had been kicked in so we had to abort the job for our own safety as it was a known pirate site!

That red house in Barnes was home to Gustav holst..

Why no Belsize Park shelter ?

The amazing thing is that none of your rivals on here has found this fascinating subject before.

I always remember this tower from the A40 when i was a child and my father worked in London. I always said it was clever and striking and that there's rarely a problem with buildings , it's the disrespectful people who don't deserve this privilege. I would love to see inside one of them.

Love your video's, I've said it before, I was a cycle courier in London in the 80s and 90s, and the amazing changes since then( kind of sad ) great stuff learning about the streets that I knew so well, Nice one👌👍

You have done a huge work by taking on Scotlandyards history Sir Robert peelin1812 made metropolitan police,that was a good initiative.The Scotlandyards connection with Scotland,the king of Scotland shouldn't be taken for granted.Marsallsea debtors prison,in little dorit ,in bleak house and in moonston by wilke Collins ,there is mentioning of detectives which were around Scotland yard.The jack the ripper in east london was chased after by Scotlandyard police, In the time of hackney coaches the metropolitan police went round by the lamp post and petrolled the city

IKB has been my hero for nearly 60 years and is the reason I became a Civil Engineer, though nowadays, the term is not used in its original meaning. IKB was the last (and arguably greatest) Civil (as opposed to Military) Engineer ever. After him, everyone specialised. What a man!
