0:29
shall you this is Denmark Street also
0:31
nicknamed 10 Pan Alley in fact there's a
0:34
little marker there on the side of the
0:36
wall and there's a lot of music history
0:38
Rolling Stones recorded here Elton John
0:41
wrote my song here on this road little
0:45
punk rock history Sex Pistols lived
0:48
right down there between Regency sound
0:51
and a record store guitar guitar store
0:54
right there in fact I think it was right
0:56
up top right there at the pistols
1:00
resided in back at the beginning of
1:03
their very short and illustrious if you
1:06
want to call that
1:12
career this is just really a a Mecca
1:12
this little tiny block of Denmark Street
1:16
10 Pan Alley putting the washboard out
1:19
there at number nine evidently David
1:21
Bowie first put together his original
1:24
backing band and they met right in a
1:26
little a little cafe right there see
1:29
number five there
1:30
there W Joo electric guitars in bass
1:33
Regency sound right there recording it
1:35
has the little tongue in the mouthpiece
1:38
from the
1:39
stones yeah I love the stones follow
1:43
been following them for years Fred and
1:46
Barney Old Steven right joke it's
1:48
classic just classic evidently oh look
1:50
at this up here it says Stairway to
1:52
Heaven it's like an old neon side with
1:54
the neon's off so evidently number six
1:57
is
1:58
where Johnny R and his crew lived and
2:01
evidently for a while and possibly still
2:03
up there some of Johnny's scribblings on
2:05
the side of the wall still remain up top
2:08
there I got to find number 20 which is
2:11
where Elton wrote your song came up with
2:14
the lyrics for your song Still A Mecca
2:16
of Music in fact down here there's a
2:18
little old school flyer on the side of
2:20
the wall saying musicians required this
2:24
is the old way of doing it you know back
2:25
in the day with bands flying and stuff I
2:27
used to do that when I was in a band as
2:30
well obviously that was way after the
2:32
the early era of punk rock that was
2:36
early 2000s way after all this took
2:38
place but we were still flyering too
2:40
flyer right here says wishing the
2:42
Rolling
2:43
Stones best success with their new
2:45
record Not Fade Away produced in their
2:47
Studio Regency sound Studios for Denmark
2:51
Street that is really really dang cool
3:04
if you wanted to you could buy a l of H
3:04
right in here as well right above there
3:07
some probably some very uh interesting
3:10
things trans those walls up there inside
3:12
K talk just love these buildings just
3:15
the style of them it's it's like just
3:17
like a Music Row if you will so the
3:19
Lawrence Wright music company is no
3:21
longer there but you see the scribblings
3:23
of the the
3:27
lettering below it there on the other
3:29
side of the street about Elton the other
3:31
day changing the words around and
3:33
honoring Princess Diana at Westminster
3:36
ABY doing Candle in the Wind but also
3:39
another huge song for him your song
3:42
evidently was written right here next to
3:44
number 19 at number
3:47
20 up there the lyrics
3:57
anyway down to the Tottenham Court Road
3:57
station I take the tube
4:00
Northern line about three four stops up
4:03
is where I'm going to the heart of
4:05
Camden that was just kind of the cusp of
4:07
Camden well I'm going to have to
4:09
mind the gap once
4:19
again not much of a gap on this one some
4:19
of the other platforms have more of a
4:21
gap Vortex British transport police on
4:25
61016 and we'll get it sorted
5:16
I get off of the tube the active foam
5:16
box one of the newer foone boxes
5:19
different
5:25
style active phone in
5:25
there all right this is Camden again the
5:29
kind of the for front of it when I was
5:30
over on 10 Pan
5:33
Alley little bit of a dreary day today
5:35
another dreary day at least it's not
5:37
raining interesting fact about this
5:39
place here the
5:46
Coco there's a lot of birds up on that
5:46
that is Napoleon
5:57
pigeons didn't see any pigeons over at
5:57
the Cathedral for Mary poppin but
5:58
definitely a lot of pigeons here in
6:00
camping oh
6:05
goodness
6:05
Hitchcock would
6:07
be
6:10
Crow I think those birds know that woman
6:13
I think that might be a bird
6:22
lady is that's thefeed the birds
6:22
Lady this is one of the the this is
6:24
making my day right
6:27
here this is literally making my day
6:29
right here
6:41
two movies I really like have a feeding
6:41
the birds lady Home Alone 2 obviously a
6:45
merry
6:46
Poppins man that is so cool just so nice
6:49
to the
6:50
birds to the Coco tons of famous artists
6:54
played here of course Elton John Lady
6:57
Gaga but also a very famous pop star by
7:01
the name of Madonna played her first UK
7:03
gig here in 1983 and she returned early
7:07
2000s to play another one but first time
7:10
performing in the UK was right
7:12
here Classic
7:15
arabana this is also the stopping
7:16
grounds of Amy wine house it's going to
7:18
be a lot of Amy wi house stuff as well I
7:21
will be completely honest I'm not super
7:22
familiar with Amy wine house I know a
7:24
couple of the hit songs and obviously
7:26
know she passed away early in life but
7:33
she's from here all right heading up now
7:33
through this gate to an old
7:36
church that is affectionately called the
7:39
St panr old church that is the
7:42
name where a
7:44
few very pivotal pieces of
7:54
History can be traced back to here over
7:54
in the cemetery also the church is
7:57
open we might pop in there in a second
7:59
and the gate is unlocked and open so
8:02
going to walk
8:09
in so some
8:09
say that the reason is part of the
8:12
inspiration that Frankenstein the book
8:14
by Mary Shelly was written was because
8:18
of all her visits to see her mother who
8:21
passed away giving birth to her who was
8:25
laid to rest here
8:32
you never know if stuff like that is
8:32
completely true but it is interesting to
8:34
think about that Mary would show up here
8:36
to see her mother also named
8:39
Mary and pay her
8:41
respects it's also said that her and her
8:43
P her and her husband where she got the
8:46
last name Shelly
8:49
from started courting and dating here in
8:51
London they would frequent this Cemetery
8:54
together as well that is a very
8:55
interesting tree something you to see
8:57
like in a Tim Burton film
9:00
very little of knots
9:03
and twisty sections
9:18
there while looking for Mary Shell's
9:19
mother headstone evidently this was a
9:21
famous
9:22
architect has a massive footprint
9:27
here next to the church
9:30
and it is said again hear say but I can
9:32
see it now that I see this with my own
9:34
eyes saw photos of it but seeing it with
9:36
my own eyes it definitely makes a lot
9:37
more sense the person who created the
9:40
telephone
9:41
box like the you know the pay phone
9:44
boxes here in England is said to have
9:47
got his inspiration for the style of it
9:50
from this and now seeing it it kind of
9:53
makes sense it kind of looks it's not
9:54
red but it kind of has that same same
9:58
stylistic design
10:05
look at the little either Chapel over
10:05
there or an office over there behind
10:21
it that is impressive that has a little
10:21
staircase down to the
10:24
Crypt wow it's very muddy but I believe
10:28
this might be
10:31
yet looks like people have placed
10:33
different items on top of
10:44
getting too much muddiness on my feet
10:44
but might be might be impossible all
10:47
right with the train going
10:54
by Mary wolston
10:54
craft Godwin
11:02
and Mary
11:02
Shelly was the first and middle name
11:05
took her
11:06
mother's middle name maiden name I guess
11:09
it would
11:11
be Mary Wilston craft
11:20
Shelly so you just think about the
11:20
author of Frankenstein creator of
11:23
Frankenstein's monster has become this
11:25
massive franchise Universal monster
11:35
said to have been inspired by her
11:35
visiting her mom here and seeing this
11:38
headstone paying her respects to her
11:40
mother who passed away during child
11:48
birth that is really something else that
11:48
really
11:49
is really
11:56
cool in fact it's really hard to make
11:56
out what the rest of it says below the
12:00
name the birth
12:03
dates and all that definitely definitely
12:06
hard to read weather has taken its toll
12:08
on there weather warn over the years
12:10
dare I say my favorite Universal monster
12:12
I mean it's hard to pick because of you
12:14
know got Dracula Wolf Man mummy creature
12:18
Black
12:19
Lagoon I think for me Frankenstein might
12:23
be the number
12:29
one it's tough to pick a favor but
12:29
yeah so you got the telephone box
12:33
there I was just sit hting
12:36
commiserating
12:38
contemplating you just think
12:41
if Mary Shell's mother hadn't existed
12:45
she hadn't given birth to Mary Shelly we
12:48
wouldn't have
12:53
Frankenstein probably wouldn't be as
12:53
popular as a franchise Universal
12:55
monsters I mean Dracula I guess would be
12:57
the next biggest one you just I always
13:00
think about stuff like that
13:02
when think of timelines of
13:09
things or if Mary Shelly hadn't been
13:09
here in London and met her husband
13:13
there's even things I was reading online
13:15
that they
13:16
evidently consummated their relationship
13:19
here in this graveyard I don't know that
13:21
that could that could be a farfetch but
13:23
there's an image for you now I am
13:25
wearing an appropriate beanie cuz I went
13:27
to ABY Road the other day
13:29
a little more of a Beatles nod in this
13:32
same
13:33
property The Beatles when they were
13:35
recording their wide album they went on
13:38
a little bit of a rampage with a
13:40
photographer taking multiple photos all
13:42
around this neighborhood one of the most
13:44
famous ones was right here and that
13:46
photo shoot is now referred to as the
13:48
Beatles mad day
13:51
out and I believe this bench is placed
13:54
here in
13:55
homage to the Fab 4 having there
14:05
moment donated by caring neighbor Ted
14:05
Baker because he loves this
14:07
park okay the information I was seeing
14:10
was wrong I don't see anything about The
14:11
Beetles on it oh wait yes it
14:14
is here we go look at this John Paul
14:18
George and Ringo from the
14:22
Beatles pop group sat here during their
14:25
mad day out Sunday the 28th of July 19
14:29
68 now I do not believe the bench was
14:31
here that was placed here later by this
14:34
gentleman who loves this park but the
14:36
photo of them sitting here was right
14:38
here on the ground Fab
14:46
4 just relaxing underneath this little
14:46
sculpture all right there they were
14:48
sitting next to a side they were rule
14:49
Breakers look at this keep off please
14:51
keep off the
14:53
grass way before the Sex Pistols were
14:55
breaking rules around here The Beetles
14:58
and they they were
15:00
uh they did not want to be told what to
15:02
do sitting right there in the Grass at
15:05
the
15:06
base of this little thing all right
15:08
walking over a little Canal
15:11
here was raining for a little bit but
15:14
the rain is kind of subsided it's just
15:15
like drizzling a little bit a little
15:17
still a little dreary but no longer
15:20
getting getting rained on too hard
15:22
little little Mist in the
15:35
now that I said that it's start to pick
15:35
up
15:36
again there's a sailboat oh it's not a
15:38
sailboat it's a piece of art that was a
15:41
sailboat the boats are very interesting
15:45
here it says bark donkey Gas
15:49
Works on that one right there very
15:53
interesting
15:56
boats it's interesting the canal here
15:58

16:01
little Dam walk and Dam of sorts got
16:05
some Wildlife swimming around the top of

there construction over there some
16:14
condos new construction buildings that
16:17
have been there for a little while hello

16:32
spe through here so evidently people
16:32
live in these boats these like house
16:35
boats stretch All Along The Little River
16:50
here pay a docking fee and then you
16:50
just camp out here on the
16:59
water that's it said the weather wasn't
16:59
going to be that bad it's gotten really
17:01
nasty this is interesting it's like this
17:02
little kind of overhang here it says
17:04
something Elm Village date stamp
17:07

17:30

worse Camden Road
18:01

18:01
Eagle at this
18:03
bu woo
18:05
Gusty
18:08
Gusty oh yeah UK classic car
18:13
alert I think it might be the first
18:15
classic car alert I've done here so
18:17
evidently there used to be a Banky mural
18:19
right here that has been painted over
18:21
someone has painted over
18:25
Banky it was the tox Banky mural
18:30
it's gone now you think that's where it
18:32
was there with the spray paint over it
18:34
yeah I think so why I guess the cam in
18:37
town does not want
18:38
that pain of
18:40
there yeah there it
18:44
was now it's been erased from
18:47
existence area known as Castle Haven
18:50
there's a building here with a
18:53
mural right there it has the castle hav
18:55
written across it it has a piano
18:57
keyboard
18:59
on the side of it I made it over to the
19:01
Holly arms h a wle e
19:06
Arms This
19:08
Pub here was where the stomping grounds
19:11
of Amy win housee she was seen here many
19:13
many times it was kind of a place you'd
19:15
always be
19:17
seen
19:19
fraiz meeting up with friends drinking a
19:23
couple brusis I'm guessing I don't know
19:25
if she was a drinker or not just kind of
19:27
assuming that even said that she was
19:29
even a bartender here for a short while
19:32
and they have quite a bit of stuff
19:35
relating to her the outside and
19:44
inside stopping rounds of Amy wi
19:44
housee
19:47
Camden
19:58
UK so there's definitely a lot of photos
19:58
B in front of this place there's a
20:00
couple of her walking in there's a few
20:02
of her behind the bar inside and
20:06
evidently there is a mural around back
20:09
going to go check out as
20:11
well and this place became famous from a
20:13
TV show probably more famous Than The
20:16
Wine House stuff recently what was the
20:18
name of the show baby reindeer baby
20:22
reindeer and they filmed inside of here
20:24
I've never seen the show but I guess it
20:26
was like a big UK show bit a big us show
20:29
too I just not familiar with new KV
20:31
shows
20:35
but why was it called baby
20:38
reindeer um so it was about this guy who
20:41
worked here it was about his stalker and
20:43
the stalker used to call him her little
20:46
baby reindeer so that's what they called
20:48
the show but yeah he works here and
20:52
so that's a good size mural is right
20:54
around the back
20:55
here of the howly arms Hoy arms hly
21:00
Holly the hly arms the hly
21:04
arms I'm getting that I'm getting it not
21:07
but all right now we're getting into the
21:09
real Camden I feel like this is
21:12
the nitty-gritty of it over
21:16
here I want to find a record store so I
21:18
want to get a couple couple
21:21
albums the craziest golf club in the
21:26
world over there
21:37
by why is this called the craziest golf
21:37
club in the
21:39
world ask you shall receive here is the
21:42
Camden lock vinyl right here look at
21:45
these old look at these old 7 in of skid
21:49
row Elvis Presley all right I did get
21:51
one album that I was looking for there
21:53
saw one other
21:56
one owner that record store was awesome
21:59
here goes I'm an old punk Old Gentleman
22:03
very familiar with music ended up
22:06
getting one here which hopefully I'll
22:07
break out when I get to the spot there's
22:10
one more that I want to get but I don't
22:11
know I might have trouble finding it
22:12
pretty sure there's probably more record
22:13
stores down this
22:15
way definitely looks like a real popular
22:19
spot here in Camden this is like the
22:21
main tourist well not tourists but the
22:23
main shopping district I should say
22:25
there are tourists but I'm sure quite a
22:27
few locals as well I found another
22:28
record store they did not have it they
22:30
did have a a pretty good variety of
22:33
clashed up but they did not have the
22:35
album I'm looking for which the very
22:37
first Clash album is filmed in this
22:39
general area so I thought it'd be kind
22:40
of neat to to match it up I might have
22:42
trouble finding because this is the
22:43
first one is a little more obscure than
22:45
like London Calling and some of some of
22:47
the other ones but there's another one
22:48
up here on the top floor right over here
22:50
so I'm going to check inside here not
22:52
having any luck looking for The Clash's
22:55
first album which is filmed on the
22:57
staircase next to the Camden Market that
22:59
it'd be kind of cool to meet up to match
23:01
it up like I did with ABY Road I bought
23:03
the ABY Road album for Beatles at ABY
23:05
Road thought it'd be NE to get the first
23:07
Clash album I did the same thing with
23:09
green day klunk when I was out in
23:11
California in Berkeley area kind of like
23:14
buying albums that pertain to the
23:16
certain area where they took place or
23:19
you know resonated in that kind of
23:20
General vicinity that way later in life
23:22
and I listen to those albums I can think
23:24
oh was at those
23:25
spots but not going to have luck with
23:27
the first Clash I like there's another
23:29
Amy mural
23:36
here that's interesting so her
23:36
skin is made up of different
23:52
words going to head now over through
23:52
another entrance into the
23:55
market one the ambulance going by
23:59
here is the Amy sculpture right here on
24:01
the I guess it be the second level up
24:04
over here at the Camden Market she has a
24:07
little heart necklace on where someone
24:09
has placed a heart around her right
24:13
there on the necklace there it has a
24:16
little lip some lipstick has been placed
24:18
on there too A lot of people around
24:21
getting getting photos of it over near
24:24
the market are these steps and I was
24:25
trying to find the album they very very
24:27
first class album of the three of them
24:30
up on the staircase was right here in
24:31
Camden no luck finding the album I
24:33
obviously I could just order the album
24:35
anywhere or get any other record shop at
24:38
another time but would been kind of neat
24:40
to to stand there on the steps with the
24:42
with the album but the staircase is
24:45
still here and they have a have
24:47
identified it with a little riding up
24:50
and down the stairs too which is kind of
24:51
nice kind of nice to
24:56
see it's right next to Coyote Ugly bar
24:59
which is kind of kind of interesting
25:02
too the area has definitely changed
25:04
since they took the original photo but
25:06
that's the album cover right there what
25:08
it looked like back in the day all right
25:11
got to carry on going to go over to a
25:13
spot
25:14
where classic touchone Picture film was
25:25
animated wind is definitely picking up
25:26
his little Corridor through here
25:29
got quite a bit of
25:31
gustiness of wind there's a ghost sign
25:33
up top there little boot
25:39
sign all right got to cross over got 3
25:39
seconds two seconds one second got
25:52
it all right walking over to the spot
25:52
where some animation from one of my
25:54
favorite movies was filmed passed by
25:56
another this is a punk Rec shop called
25:58
all age records established 200
26:03
2003 it's been around for 22 years they
26:07
had a pretty good assortment of stuff in
26:08
there I could have bought a lot of
26:10
things but I bought the one album I was
26:11
looking for the first Clash
26:15
album they had this place this place was
26:17
really good there it is I think it was
26:19
27
26:21
lb right
26:23
there I think it's a re-release not the
26:25
original obviously but man that's cool
26:29
it was just just right walking on that
26:30
staircase standing on the
26:33
staircase obviously it looks like back
26:35
when they took a photo there was like
26:37
some little wooden platforms that went
26:39
over the top those have been removed
26:40
since then but and Coyote Ugly was not
26:43
there at that time all right Who Framed
26:47
Roger Rabbit that's the real question
26:50
zamus classic film Bob
26:55
Hoskins Who is from this area in fact
26:58
his final resting places around here did
27:00
such a wonderful job making it making
27:03
everyone believe that the tunes were
27:05
real just such a great movie filmed in
27:09
LA but also filmed here in fact the top
27:14
three floors of this very
27:17
building were used for all the animation
27:21
from who Fram Roger Rabbit right inside
27:23
here those top three
27:27
floors this
27:30
Warehouse used to be called The Forum I
27:32
don't know if it still is
27:39
but highly doubt that there's any sort
27:39
of info inside about the fact that the
27:42
animators utilize this
27:44
building they did use they are a couple
27:47
filming locations of Roger Abbott in the
27:49
greater London area not on this street
27:51
corner but I wanted to check out the the
27:54
place where all the
27:55
animation was done
28:01
right here on Camden
28:04
Street oh yeah look at that Centro forum
28:06
is still called The
28:08
Forum here is an artistic rendering that
28:11
one of the animators Drew of the
28:13
building itself and you can see there's
28:15
a bunch of bunny rabbits down here
28:17
alluding to Roger Rabbit riding the
28:19
bicycles not specifically Roger but
28:21
they're doing the little
28:23
nods to Roger and also looks like some
28:25
chimney sweeps maybe they're giving a
28:27
little oh it's windy they're giving a
28:29
little nod to Mary Poppins and Bert you
28:32
got Dumbo over here giv the
28:34
Disney Disney look take a look at this
28:37
so you have the top little look like
28:39
almost like a
28:40
chimney right there and then you have
28:42
Mickey parachuting
28:49
in just all kind of little Easter eggs
28:49
when it comes to the Disney
28:52
Corporation and there is the building
28:55
itself so cool here's other thing shows
28:58
the address the address is 74 to 80
29:01
Camden Street in
29:03
London there's The Who Framed Roger AB
29:06
this is back when they were doing the
29:07
animation
29:08
here third fourth and fifth floor woo
29:13
Rusty let turn
29:20
around showing the specifics of what was
29:20
on each floor fifth floor was production
29:23
animation director animation assistance
29:25
viewing theater so we're probably doing
29:26
all the dailies and everything that had
29:28
to match up the actors with the
29:30
animation camera editing Xerox on the
29:33
fourth floor also ink and paint
29:35
department was on the fourth floor third
29:36
floor was a special effects animation
29:40
and then the third floor you went to the
29:42
third floor you would be greeted by the
29:43
receptionist for Walt Disney Corporation
29:46
management and accountings and the Matt
29:48
and rotor
29:49
Department in
29:52
betweeners I got a backtrack attad a
29:54
backtrack probably another quarter of a
29:57
mile or half mile give or take a little
29:59
bit let's say a half mile 4 miles back
30:03
over to the Camden section since I now
30:07
have the vinyl I figure I should
30:08
probably match up exactly not just with
30:11
the photo but I should take the Clash
30:15
album and just match it up with the
30:16
staircase now that I have the album I
30:19
did it with Abby Road the other day and
30:20
it's probably going to be not only the
30:22
Clash album but I got one other album
30:24
before the end of the night I want to
30:25
match up exactly I think it's like kind
30:27
of a thing now I'm doing so buying
30:29
albums in the spots where the covers
30:31
were where the band was from or in the
30:33
general vicinity of said band and said
30:43
album all right going to hit the Camden
30:43
Town station
30:45
now head over little commute on the
30:50
tube assuming that one of these is open
30:53
they're all these are all closed go
30:54
around the corner
31:02
take a look at this there's a music Walk
31:02
of Fame here as
31:03
well who have a
31:07
little icon so does the founding
31:13
Stone oh this is the founding stone for
31:16
the walk
31:18
itself not to be confused with the
31:23
Stones and it stretches all the way up
31:26
that direction you're going to take this
31:27
tube over to
31:29
Houston e and get off connect with one
31:33
that's going to take us over to another
31:37
location from another famous album that
31:39
I purchased at a different record
31:41
store in
31:44
Camp oh feels good in here it's cold
31:46
outside but it's warmed down here in the
31:48
tube and from this one just two stops
31:51
over to Oxford Circus
32:05
back up out of the underground at ground
32:05
level about a third of a mile now from
32:09
the next
32:24
spot so over in this area of town down a
32:24
little I guess you call it Alleyway
32:26
right off the cusp of this
32:28
it's going to be where David Bowie
32:30
created his little Alter Ego Ziggy
32:33
Stardust there it is other side but I
32:35
was looking in the wrong direction in
32:37
fact there is a little placard right
32:38
there that says Ziggy Stardust right on
32:41
the side that is the door right there
32:42
marks a spot this marks a location of
32:44
the cover photograph of the iconic David
32:45
Bowie album the rise and fall of Ziggy
32:47
Stardust and the spiders from Mars 1972
32:51
now it's interesting standing here this
32:53
is definitely the spot one the think
32:55
there's definitely a few things you can
32:57
match up what was a little confused by
32:58
which door it was I was thinking it was
33:00
the door to the left of where the plaque
33:04
that says Ziggy Stardust is that he was
33:06
standing over underneath the 21 sign but
33:09
in fact it was a it was the door to the
33:11
right of where the Ziggy Stardust sign
33:13
is people who live or work in the
33:15
building upstairs came out of the door
33:17
they saw me holding the album they said
33:18
oh it's this door and then I realized
33:21
that the same section where the light
33:24
was is still the same based on the the
33:27
light and the the indentation of the
33:29
bricks and all that where the signage
33:31
have been replaced and changed but
33:32
basically he was standing right
33:34
underneath where the Ziggy star to sign
33:36
is David Boe would have been right there
33:38
with his leg kind of perched up against
33:40
the the brick work and all that that
33:42
would basically be what it is also the
33:44
the windows down at the end of The Alley
33:46
look exactly the same except the top
33:48
portion of that roof and that building
33:50
has been updated and updated and
33:52
modified but other than that it looks
33:54
pretty much the the same as it did just
33:56
with a new paint job a new new changes
33:58
to the roof and all that but it's the
34:00
same exact spot so right where the
34:01
plaque is is directly above where David
34:04
Bowie's head would have been where he
34:05
was standing with his kind of leg
34:07
perched up as zy Stardust his alter ego
34:11
to clarify so I thought David Bo was
34:13
standing right there next to this door
34:15
in fact he was standing right here and
34:17
the camera angle is here looks like the
34:19
same sort of uh area where the light
34:21
fixture was and the little indentations
34:23
in the brick these signs were similar
34:25
but they have been changed the number 23
34:27
was was not there and basically he was
34:30
standing right about here with those
34:33
windows in the background more or less
34:35
the back of the album cover he's in a
34:36
telephone box probably not this
34:38
telephone box but I would imagine this
34:40
is an homage to David Bowie and Ziggy
34:42
Stardust right here I'm just just
34:44
guessing here at the end of the other
34:46
direction of the
34:48
alley all right moving on got another
34:51
spot to say
35:08
we're going to take the red line over to
35:08
White
35:10
City think it's going to be a busy time
35:12
if they ride the underground all right
35:15
total of eight
35:16
stops on the two find the Gap a little
35:22
different vibe over here a little
35:23
farther away from actual City that's
35:25
some regular non decker buses out
35:29
here this used to be the BBC you said
35:32
yeah BBC television
35:44
center now just now just television
35:44
Center you dro the
35:46
BBC I think they sold
35:50
it fact there are double deckers in fact
35:53
the double decker station here looks to
35:56
be the acne buildings from Who Framed
35:59
Roger Rabbit judge Dooms in there
36:01
working on his
36:02
dip I think this is the back of the
36:06
building see if I can go around the
36:07
front and match anything up that is wild
36:10
they're huge all right now it's making
36:17
sense that's it right
36:17
there that is the Acme
36:20
Studios from who frames Roger abbit in
36:23
fact this is the angle where I believe
36:25
the officers pull in and they're looking
36:29
at they go inside the door tont Town
36:32
there's a spot I believe it's Valiant
36:34

36:37
he sees over the
36:45
wall is Toontown he goes I never been
36:45
