Yes. Obama HATED the Queen.
Thank you, Sinead. Just the tour I was waiting for. I'm coming to London in a few days, and I'll definitely go and see these places. I've always wanted to visit this part of London.
The best factual channel on the you tubes ๐๐ป๐ฌ๐ง
Thanks Sinead, another banger as always. I'm back in London next month for another solo mooch, so I'll do this walk and follow in your footsteps to see the sights on the way to Battersea Power station.
It's not really beautiful. Especially when you know the control and power America holds over our country. Its numerous military bases (laughingly claiming to still be 'RAF' ๐) around the UK and politically the UK Govt having to bow to US will on Foreign policy and other issues. We have no political independence. US intelligence interferes in our elections.
And now this once working class area, public land, handed over to private owners who restrict Londoners access to it ๐ญ
No thanks. Not beautiful at all.
Love your tours on the history of London!
The MI6 building is so ugly and notorious… quite inappropriate for a nest of spies!
Was Charles detained here?? Haha! Awesome. Those tunnels looked spooky! ๐ฎ Thanks Sinead. Continued success x
Thanks!
Interesting you didn't refer to the attack on the MI6 (SIS) building in the year 2000 with an RPG-22 missile fired from Vauxhall gardens.
๐ฌ๐ง๐ฅ Sinead โคthank you๐
Thank you. Have you guys done a tour of Cecil court? i think Sinead mentioned it was the inspiration for Diagon alley
Great video Sinead. Love all the history and stories, very interesting, looking forward to your next video,
That was very interesting re: lobsters (& oysters). We have a name for those dragging on the ocean (or lake) floor: bottom feeders (also a pejorative for an opportunist. That's so funny how it changed….or were we tricked?๐คฃ I wonder if Hodge ended up with a pearl collar ? ๐ I also really like seeing that miniature St. Pauls!
Happy 149K plus subs!
Can you do a mudlarking in london?
So interesting Shinead youve done it again my favourite part M I 6 how do you remember it all๐๐
Thanks
I can relate to spies and prisons, my uncle was the Governor of Wormwood Scrubs prison when the notorious spy George Blake escaped.
Thank you so much Sinead that was so interesting, loved the history. ๐๐ฆ๐บ
A very interesting watch indeed ..

I first stumbled across Sineadโs Jack the Ripper tour video (great watch for those who havenโt) and have stayed for her enthusiasm for sharing the joys of London. Thanks to Sinead and all the guides for the fascinating tours, facts and stories! ๐ฏ
Victoria park gardens was near the FRONT of the queue to see the queen lying in state, but the queue extended 10 miles with the BACK, what I would call the end of it, in Southwark Park.
Interesting and enjoyable video. Have you ever covered St Erminโs Hotel in St Jamesโs Park, London? I understand it was home to British Secret Intelligence during WW2 and many great spies were involved there such as Ian Fleming.
Thank you Sinead. How fun! ๐
Yes there are tunnels from Whitehall to Downing St and to Mi5. Back when i was an apprentice in 1988 we were taken on a tour at Whitehall and we went down to the downing street tunnel and also got to see the underground "war rooms".
Thanks!
Did anyone else notice when they sent out an invisible agent (4:11, watch the automatic doors) to investigate what the filming was all about? ๐
7:16 …Children as young as 9 years were transported to Australia as convicts. Many crimes included things as petty as stealing a loaf of bread!

Love the pink double lines London's so cute another super video Sinรฉad โจ๐๏ธโ๏ธ
Have they solved the problem with the WiFi inside the new Embassy building due to all those electric circuits around the building? ๐
Thank you sinead for sharing another fantastic video fantastic views London looks picture postcard โคlove from Dublin
I was once told that the Aussie nickname "Poms" for British expats is derived from "Prisoners of Morpeth". I don't know if there is any truth to that.
The Europe and the UK have become crazy Town you must change out your governments and get the illegals out .
Very informative. Always fascinated by the bridges of London so my favourite part was Vauxhall Bridge. Thank you sooo much for that!
Oh Sinead, you missed the monument to the SOE agents just by Lambeth Palace, you've seen the film "Carve her name with pride"?
Due to my job I spend a lot of time driving through these places so very interesting to see things at a slower pace lol
Thank you Sinead ๐ซถ๐ป
I never knew there were statues on Vauxhaull Bridge, and St Paul's is there as well ๐
I remember Tony Benn saying as a child he went in the air raid shelters in Thames House
Lord Dumbass? ๐
