Why Do We Drive on the WRONG Side at The Savoy Hotel?

You would make a great history teacher if the Taxi business goes south 😮

Bit of trivia for you: The main reason for the Aldwych branch closing was that the lifts at Aldwych had reached the end of their life, and the cost of renewal was too high compared to the number of passengers using the station. After closure, the lifts were fixed in place at ticket hall level, so any filming that takes place requires the crew to carry all of the equipment up and down the 160 steps of the emergency spiral staircase. No doubt London Underground would consider this equivalent to a 15 storey building, because as we know ALL tube stations have fifteen floors. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBTvmrRGlbE 😁

You can't never not like an Only Fools and Horses reference! Liking the new style 👌🏻

Superb video Tom- and I really appreciate the shout out; many thanks mate! Be lucky ;-)

Long time subscriber, first time commenter. Loved this video, was very interesting and would be keen to see similar videos in other areas of London. It's interesting to see a cabbie's perspective on things rather than it just being another London tour video!

This is a great video! Lots of interesting knowledge points and great to see London so empty on a Saturday morning, too! Thank you!

Really love the format, You're full of facts and it's loads of fun to listen to you talk about things we see on a regular basis!!

Please do more content/videos like this! I loved it! Really fun content and knowledge - learnt a lot about places I’ve been by many times. Definitely a fun watch!

Excellent video dude. As a Canadian, this is exactly I watch your videos. Just love the architecture and London vibes. Quite the tour. Thanks

1:15 - for any skateboarders who were fond of Blueprint (RIP) - Paul Shier did an insane backslide flip from side to side of that sculpture. I think in Lost and Found.

Love the format of these, it's like almost being part of a casual conversation about bits of London. Works well

Very interesting. The streets are so quiet.

You covered many of my stopping points on my London tour. Yes the savoy private road driving on the right was so the Hackney cab from his lofty position could reach down to open the door to allow the ladies in long dresses out directly onto the pavement. That turning circle designed for the original Hackney cabs is still the turning circle of modern cabs today.

I love this! Feels like you were in your element with this Tom - lovely to see! Have had to visit the area around the RCJ for work a couple of times for work so really interesting to learn about the area. Fun fact, because the Royal Courts of Justice are a listed building, English Heritage get final say on any changes and signage etc, so normal accessibility rules don’t always apply (no contrast edging on steps, old English fonts that aren’t easy to read etc).

Loved this video Tom, would love to see more like this. You work is appreciated 👌👌

My brother-in-law works at LSE, I had no idea how much stuff LSE actually owned in London until you made this video!

I used to use Aldwych station quite a bit when I worked at No9 Kingsway and didn’t fancy the walk down Kingsway from Holborn station. Lincoln’s Inn was my usual lunchtime walk. Great video Tom

So relaxing to watch your videos, Thanks for making them Tom :)

This was great, really opened up my eyes to some of the hidden gems I miss on a busy commute

Love this new video feature style, keep em coming!
