I'm a Londoner but I don't live in London anymore. This lady knows so much about my home city that it's amazing what she does know. Thank you so much for your wonderfully informative videos!

Thank you for leading with St Dunstan in the East it was one of my favourite hide away picnic spots when I lived in London - truly magical

I'm so glad you included the memorial to Noor Khan! She is an absolute hero of WWII and her life story should be more widely known!

Never miss a Love and London video, I have learned so much from the channel ! I want to say after seeing Ellie for whom I had taken her tour in December 2022, it was a very memorable and well done trip to the East End with such a different approach to talking about and honoring the victims and not the murderer this time. Highly recommend this tour as Ellie was terrific.

I liked how you had the Watchhouse coffee shop. I loved walking in that park every morning when I was in London. I stayed in Bermondsey Square Hotel and will be back there in August. I will definitely be strolling around the park again to walk off my breakfast every morning.

I just discovered this girl and her channel, I've been trying to find old places, churches, cemeteries and all the information hidden in the past of this great city, as a foreigner myself, I've been discovering how intriguing, enchanting, and in some cases "spooky", some of the old places can be (High Gate cemetery, Brompton Cemetery), I have been learning a lot about the rich English past, but I need some information in how to discover all those magnificent places, as some of them are very hidden and it's been not too long since I have the time to enjoy the privilege of learning about the English
it would be most appreciated if you could give me some hints on "where and how" to find these places. thanks a lot.

One of my favourite memoirs to history in South London are the fences around some housing estates being made from WWII stretchers, placed end to end. There was quite a large stockpile of stretchers after the blitz and many fences had been lost; recycling the stretchers in the “make do and mend” era neatly killed two birds with one stone.

Moved to London several years ago. Love to see these, and wish I knew of you before I moved. But even so, I get to re-experience discovery of some old favourites through your videos, and even better, there are some new gems that you introduce. Thank you!

I really enjoyed St. Dunstan's and Postman's Park. If the city seems too busy or even a tad overwhelming, you can certainly relax and focus well there.

I went to London for the first time this year and what i loved about this big City is that when you arrive and walk by the streets there is sightseeing everywhere. Also i was leaving in Bloomsbury

Great video thanks! London is my favorite city in the world and have visited 7 or 8 times, and am fortunate to have friends who live there. I’m a big fan of the Dennis Severs House on Folgate Street, in Spitalfields. Love finding new spots.

[lizdestefano]
