0:30
fact be back going to take the subway
0:34
known as the underground also the tube
0:36
here at pickadilly Circus a place that
0:39
I've called Picadilly Square too many
0:40
times is actually called Picadilly
0:41
circus I think I'm going to head over to
0:44
Baker Street get a little Sherlock Homes
0:46
action on today it's actually called The
0:48
Baker Lou
0:50
line couple stops a few
0:54
stops you can hear it pulling into the
0:56
station
0:57
now I love the subway system here it's
0:59
amazing
1:14
oh there's the man
1:14
himself I guess not far from here
1:16
there's another subway line it could go
1:18
up to a classic horror filming location
1:22
hellrazor house is not far from here so
1:24
it might jump on another Subway first
1:27
and then hop back down to Baker
1:36
Hound of Baskerville faithful Watson
1:36
goes alone to the dartmore to help
1:39
Holmes with the problem of a ghostly and
1:41
gigantic Hound that caused the death of
1:44
more than
1:45
one of
1:46
Baskerville so I'm getting on a
1:49
different different train to get where I
1:51
got to go should be coming in this way
2:08
all right Next Top out of the
2:08
underground now onto the upper ground
2:43
area about a mile walk from here to the
2:43
Cal razor house like I got to walk
2:44
through a park to get the top of the
2:46
hill there's some railroad tracks here
2:49
there's a little Bridge walking bridge
2:50
that goes over the
2:52
tracks someone's hacking up along up
2:54
here
3:04
nice little walk up a
3:04
hill welcome everyone Adam the woo here
3:09
I'm inviting you yes you to join me good
3:13
to have you here shall
3:15
you this is at the top of the hill and
3:19
again I'm probably pronouncing I
3:20
pronounce so much stuff wrong while I've
3:21
been here dois hill doess
3:33
Mark
3:33
Twain look at that Samuel Clemens
3:37
himself standing at the entrance William
3:41
Gladstone
3:52
Catherine that's cool it's quite a view
3:52
look at that I see The Shard over
3:55
there that's how far from the cityscape
3:59
of London I am
4:00
well that Subway took me a long pretty
4:01
good way pretty quick Hello Kitty
4:06
hi hi
4:07
sweetie how's your day going good that's
4:11
nice to hear there it is definitely this
4:14
neighborhood is a lot more fixed up and
4:17
nicer than it was when the movie was
4:18
filmed here but that's the
4:20
house
4:25
fact I think that's the angle there
4:25
where she's like walking up to the front
4:27
of the house
4:32
that's
4:32
cool to be honest I haven't seen all of
4:35
the Hellraiser franchise I've seen the
4:36
first one I think maybe the second and
4:38
third one but after that I haven't seen
4:40
all of
4:47
them great great movies uh at least the
4:47
ones I've
4:54
seen so hard to believe how much time
4:54
has passed since that movie came out '
4:55
87 like all these movies from the 80s
4:58
that remember when they came out that
5:00
was just so long ago
5:03
now where's the time go yeah this
5:06
neighborhood is
5:12
definitely definitely a lot uh a lot
5:12
nicer than it was at least the house a
5:13
lot nicer than the decayed look of the
5:15
one from the
5:30
fil crossing over there train bridge
5:30
going back to the station now take a
5:33
look at this this doesn't really seem
5:35
like anything super exciting but the top
5:38
of these roofs remind me of Mary Poppins
5:39
and Burt and the chimney
5:41
sweeps I don't think I've ever seen
5:43
anything like this in real life before
5:45
this style so it's giv me a little Mary
5:47
Poppins Vibes little chimney sweeps up
5:51
there Isn't that
5:57
cool high up enough to where you can
5:57
kind of get that angle
6:32
out of the Baker Street Station now oh
6:32
this is not
6:35
good what Mary Poppins
6:38
think do not feed the birds they are a
6:40
health hazard and a
6:42
nuisance s trombone pigeons there he is
6:45
the great
6:47
detective Sherlock
6:50
Holmes got his little pipe up top
6:54
there doing some
6:56
thinking contemplating
7:04
and it's not just my statement that he's
7:05
the great detective it states it right
7:07
down
7:14
here it's commissioned by the Sherlock
7:14
Holmes Society of London the 150th
7:19

7:56
museum right over there Sherlock Holmes
7:58
Museum next to a yoga Pilates
8:02
place even has a marker up on the top
8:05
little blue marker
8:06
there see if I can get in and do a tour
8:09
looks like a very small place the line
8:11
doesn't look too long
8:14
however it's a constable or an officer I
8:17
don't sure what they call him here but
8:18
out front dressed in the
8:21
his accessories his guard his outfit
8:31
all right see if there's any tickets
8:31
left to get in I stepped into the gift
8:33
shop this is where you purchase the
8:35
tickets so I go over here to the front
8:37
counter and end up uh purchasing my
8:39
tickets this is a display book this is
8:41
heavy get uh you can buy any of these
8:43
homes the wit and wisdom of
8:45
Sherlock over here how to think like
8:53
Sherlock I don't see a book titled no s
8:53
Sherlock but sure there probably is one
8:55
I this out a little uh Dr Watson and
8:58
Sherlock rubber duckies right
9:05
there this gift shop is very beautiful
9:05
look at the little Atrium area up top
9:07
here just a few people in front of me in
9:09
line to either purchase items or get
9:11
tickets to the tour so not too bad I
9:13
like this shirt right here look at him
9:14
right there in the middle looking all uh
9:18
investigatively investigatively Dapper
9:20
all right I got my ticket it was uh 20
9:22
lb for today I guess probably every day
9:25
is 20 lb and they also have these in
9:28
different languages
9:30
I guess the first 10 minutes is a guided
9:32
tour in English they also have these in
9:34
different languages also and then after
9:37
that it's
9:49
little The mogs Strangers guide to
9:49
London that would be me cuz I'm not
9:51
familiar with London even though I feel
9:52
like my time frame here I've really
9:54
learned a lot about more than London
9:56
than I ever knew before I kind of went
9:58
into it uh just on an impulse and kind
10:00
of blind and not really having a game
10:02
plan when I arrived here just decided a
10:05
few days before even getting on the
10:06
plane that I was going to come here I
10:08
didn't really have anything set in stone
10:10
and just kind of been winging it it's
10:13
worked out pretty well so I feel like I
10:14
know London 10 times better than I did
10:17
before I arrived here but it's still a
10:20
lot of it still a complete mystery to me
10:22
complete mystery there a tour about to
10:24
start can be good thank you you gave me
10:26
the heads up the tour is about to begin
10:28
so getting online I am
10:30
purchased my ticket and now I'm joining
10:31
the
10:35
queue
10:42
down have a backpack you got to put it
10:42
on your front no backpacks on your back
10:46
I'm going to be going inside
10:48
221 B Baker
10:50
Street they are delighted to welcome me
10:52
to one of the world's most famous
10:55
addresses great detective his loyal
10:58
friend Dr Chan Watson Mrs hson land you
11:02
so much enjoy hello hi there thank you
11:05
so much head straight to the first floor
11:06
and enjoy just you know photos are fine
11:08
but no video recorded no video just
11:10
photos thank
11:12
you thank you so much all right take
11:15
some photos and I'll see you after 221B
11:18
and before heading in I was let made
11:21
known that no filming is allowed inside
11:23
in fact when I got to the second floor
11:26
was reiterated by the guide again so the
11:28
officer out front front said so and then
11:31
also the lady giving the chore just the
11:34
first floor well the second floor if you
11:35
will so if you look at this there's
11:37
actually technically there's the first
11:40
floor second floor third floor fourth
11:44
floor there's three floors above the
11:47
gift
11:48
shop and there's even a restroom I guess
11:51
in like the attic above the fourth
11:54
floor so I kind of go through just kind
11:57
of fresh in my head what they were
11:58
explaining I try to just give you the
12:01
best scenario what she was talking about
12:03
so she explains the room here which was
12:04
their office where Sherlock and Watson
12:07
spent most of their time just talking
12:09
about Dr Watson's chair and his desk
12:12
right here now Watson did not like that
12:14
Sherlock was a smoker said it was like a
12:16
repulsive habit according to the guy
12:19
this is his desk
12:21
Watson's course you heard the term
12:23
Elementary my dear Watson the Sherlock
12:27
was a genius when it came to solving
12:29
the crimes and he had a couple of
12:32
different things that he liked to do he
12:33
lik to play music on the violin he was
12:35
also a fan like a chemist not a chemist
12:38
of sort but he liked all these different
12:39
potions and things of they were up here
12:42
on this little little
12:45
shelf I also asked if any of the stuff
12:47
was original I said a lot of it is some
12:50
of it is Recreation stuff but it's from
12:51
the same era that some of it would have
12:53
been here according to the guide that
12:55
was his violin there also I guess he uh
12:58
led to take his gun and shoot letters
13:00
into the wall so this is a little case
13:03
over it where he did VR on the side of
13:05
the the side of the wall there so then
13:08
you go out of the second
13:10
floor and over into the bedroom and on
13:13
the bed are a couple of different things
13:14
there is a like a black hat here which
13:17
is more likely what he would have worn
13:19
and of course the
13:21
iconic hat that everyone we see this you
13:24
think of Sherlock Holmes everyone but
13:26
evidently it was never in the books that
13:28
he wrote wrote this or not wrote this
13:30
that he wore this this was not until the
13:32
TV actor started wearing it and then it
13:35
just became
13:36
synonymous with Sherlock and these are
13:39
not friends of his on the wall these are
13:41
people who committed crimes and murders
13:44
and he wanted to have them on the wall
13:45
so that he could get inside the mind and
13:48
think like they did I believe even over
13:50
in the corner was Lizzie bordon one of
13:52
the one of the photos that was on there
13:53
these are just some other random
13:54
pictures that I took this is overlooking
13:56
where the gift shop is now which is on
13:58
the first floor the little area which
14:00
was beautiful and
14:02
evidently he kept his tobacco in a shoe
14:06
like this one try to conceal you put
14:09
your weed in they said there was it was
14:11
just regular
14:12
tobacco this is also looking back into
14:14
the office going up on the next floor
14:17
there's a bust of him there and there's
14:19
some of the items that he was known for
14:22
of course the
14:23
pipe there's a photo of this lady here
14:26
I'm not sure who that is
14:31
here's some more his other accessories
14:31
the cap also signed the guest book for
14:35
posterity here there's me right on the
14:37
signed on there
14:43
today going down the stairs or back up
14:43
the stairs to one of the other
14:51
floors it was definitely worth the uh
14:51
the 20 lbs also this is interesting too
14:53
so I asked who this was there's like a
14:55
sculpture there's another guy walking
14:56
around and I asked who this was he said
14:58
it was a servant a young servant I
15:01
didn't realize that the servants and the
15:03
households around here were so young and
15:05
evidently Charlie
15:07
Chaplain one of his first ever roles in
15:10
a play
15:13
was this character the character of this
15:16
boy who was Sherlock
15:18
Holmes
15:21
like stuff I guess he just did stuff
15:23
around the house I don't really know
15:24
exactly how all that worked but that was
15:26
one according to the guy one of Charlie
15:28
Chap's first rolls and there's like an
15:30
office there with a record player they
15:31
were playing some some of the
15:34
period music up in
15:37
there here's also a little timeline of
15:40
some of the actors that played the role
15:42
of
15:44
Sherlock B wrath bone of course there in
15:47
the middle there's one of the Hound of
15:49
the Baskerville
15:51
there even Robert Downey J that's
15:53
supposed to be Robert Downey Jr there
15:54
playing
15:56
Sherlock there's the Hound
15:59
there's bunch of different books of the
16:01
different eras of
16:07
books and that's the very top it's just
16:07
basically a half bath you go up there
16:09
there's a big sign that says do not use
16:12
that's looking back down that's looking
16:14
out the top window that's going back
16:17
down the
16:19
stairs there's a closeup of where this
16:22
is also a photo here of what that era
16:25
would have been like when you have the
16:26
people who own the home and then they
16:27
have the boys helping them out I don't
16:30
really know what the story with that is
16:31
but evidently that was like some of
16:33
their first jobs I
16:35
guess that's looking that's looking back
16:37
out the the front there and then heading
16:40
back down that's it it really would have
16:43
been nice if I could have filmed through
16:44
there but some places have their their
16:46
rules and don't want you filming so
16:48
that's the best way to do it is just
16:49
kind of talk over the
16:51
photos 221B Sherlock Holmes Consulting
16:54
detective 1881 to 1904
17:00
I'm going to go in the gift shop maybe
17:00
get an item or
17:02
two so this whole row here so those
17:06
windows those windows those windows and
17:09
then above it is that little that
17:10
bathroom which on the top
17:17
floor pamphlet again it says they have
17:17
lovingly recreated each room as
17:20
described by Conan Doyle and his novels
17:23
an immersive experience as if Holmes and
17:25
Watson would appear around every corner
17:27
kind of did feel like that was is really
17:29
really interesting in there it was a
17:32
deadly accurate Marksman Victorian
17:35
architecture so Mrs Hudson right
17:39
there you can get a picture with your
17:41
own Victorian policeman arresting the
17:44
original and the best deer stalker hats
17:47
did you know that he like to play his
17:48
Strat of varas at 221B Baker Street that
17:52
we always found it a bit of a
17:59
fiddle this is kind of a neat little
17:59
souvenir they give you when you do the
18:00
chores let me go in and get a little
18:02
something else third floor climb to the
18:04
third floor and find Conan Doyle's
18:06
writing room filled with the sounds of
18:08
his voice that was where the record
18:09
player
18:16
was all right pretty neat pretty dang
18:16
neat I liked it back in the gift shop
18:18
now where you are allowed to film they
18:20
have the an old photo here of the Baker
18:23
Street Station which is the tube that I
18:26
got off of in fact it says Baker Lo tube
18:28

18:56

18:57
down as well not part of the
19:01

19:03
purchase a pipe oh you know what you got
19:06
the pipes down here but then also look
19:07
at this you got the little magnifying
19:10

19:32
Tad's wax museum here in London has a
19:35
ride a full ride never been in a wax
19:37
museum that has a ride I was looking
19:39
forward to doing that but I went on
19:40
their website to get tickets and it says
19:43
that the ride is not up right now it's
19:47
not operational they're doing some
19:48
construction on it it's called The
19:50
Spirit of London ride but it is down
19:53

19:57
museum I wanted to see the ride
20:01
but no go this time no go this trip I am
20:04
really fascinated by the subway system

20:09
future I'm going to look up all the
20:10
different routes and all the weird
20:12
tunnels and corridors and Tube it's
20:15
called the tube but tubes really is
20:17

22:04
all this sausage roll Shenanigans are
22:07

22:08

22:10
the heck a sausage roll is but so I
22:12
ended up getting two of them basically
22:14
this is a sausage roll look like there's
22:15
maybe like a sausage down inside the
22:17
breading and some other items inside of
22:19
it I'll give it a try all right here it
22:21
goes Greg's sausage roll
22:49
tasty got the sausage in there breing
22:49
around
22:55
it I don't want to say I see what the
22:55
hype is but I would definitely I would
22:58
definitely consume many of these if I
23:01
was in this area and knew about these
23:08
beforehand just a nice little
23:08
treat guy yelling over there and right
23:10
here at Lester square there's all these
23:11
little sculptures so this one is from
23:13
get out I think that's the Jordan pill
23:15
movie oh yeah it was the Blum House
23:16
Jordan pill movie the one that was
23:18
before
23:20
us there's a little sculpture here these
23:23
gates are closed they're doing some kind
23:24
of a Premiere or something also if you
23:27
look closely so there's a chaplain one
23:29
here I pointed out the other day that
23:31
the Indiana Jones one has been removed
23:34
Harry Potter one I keep showings over
23:35
there on the corner but up on the roof
23:38
right up there tough to see is Batman
23:41
look up there right between the tree
23:42
branches is Batman and Lal and
23:46
Hardy right there hey he's tough to see
23:48
up there but he's up there Batman's up
23:54
there can't walk over that way though
23:56
cuz they got all this set dressing up
23:57
for something is taking place at the
23:59
theater
24:01
there I went back to my hotel put my
24:04
hoodie underneath the regular jacket I'm
24:05
wearing cuz now the sun will be going
24:07
down soon temperature's going to drop I
24:10
got to thinking I should probably go by
24:11
the US Embassy beli I went by the US
24:14
Embassy there they did not let you allow
24:16
you to get on property or film the
24:18
embassy but it might be a little bit
24:19
different here cuz I think this one is
24:21
in a more occupied place if you
24:33
came up on the upper level to get here
24:33
this stop check it out Tardis watch boox
24:36
here is that
24:42
cool that's the first one I've seen of
24:42
these since I've been in
24:44
London I don't really know anything
24:46
about Doctor Who but I think this is
24:47
from Doctor
24:50
Who I'm just going all over
24:52
today I'm going to the other side of the
24:54
river other side of the river than the
24:56
side I was on the last day or two
24:59
that's where the embassy is and other
25:18
things ah the power plant has its lights
25:19
on the stacks Smoke
25:21
Stacks over there take a look at that
25:37
and speaking of Pink Floyd I mentioned
25:37
them earlier that power plant is a cover
25:39
of this
25:52
album we're doing a little filming here
25:52
go to these camera guys are get and the
25:55
boom mic operator getting a really good
25:57
view of this asparagus
26:27
stock I think that's it right there I
26:27
think this building right
26:29
here is
26:41
it I don't know if I'll be able to go to
26:41
every one of these at every country I
26:43
visit from now till the end of time well
26:45
throughout the course of my life anyway
26:46
in travels but if I'm near I'm in a
26:50
place in a country and I'm near the
26:52
embassies I do at least want to see them
26:54
with my own
26:56
eyes at each for country
27:03
Little Taste of
27:04
Home yep that's
27:06
it there's the US flag waving in the
27:09
breeze waving in the United Kingdom's
27:13
Breeze
27:24
adjacent pretty neat that's a fancy
27:24
interesting looking building right I
27:26
think I'm going to follow that go back
27:27
over to another station go back across
27:31
river just walking around London at
27:35
night takeing the
28:12
I think I've about got this
28:12
whole Subway
28:14
Transportation train underground train
28:17
system sorted that's the word they use
28:19
here sorted means when you got things
28:21
figured out or handled they say
28:24
sorted nice cool crisp weather
28:28
definitely have had an enjoyable time
28:30
here in a lot of different ways but the
28:33
weather has been so nice I mean the rain
28:35
is gets a little annoying sometimes
28:37
but temperature- wise I'm all for it an
28:42
American woo wolf in London I only say
28:46
that because again there was a scene
28:49
from that movie American werewolf it
28:51
took place right here do not
29:17
drums also here's the Canada embassy I
29:17
believe the US one
29:26
earlier kind of like the type of drums
29:26
that you would see one of the Dragons
29:29
the Dancing Dragons and because it is
29:30
Lunar New Year I think that's what it
29:32
was but I could never find where it was
29:33
coming from all right see what's going
29:35
on down in here see what's happening
29:38
it's a little busy through here you got
29:40
the Rick Shaws you got people riding
29:41
bikes you got people walking little
29:43
beehive of activity down this section
29:54
Chinatown about this way when I think of
29:54
London I do think of Peter Pan obviously
29:57
Big Ben and and all that but evidently
29:59
there's something going on here called
30:01
Peter Pan's Neverland
30:04
nightmare must be a Premiere here
30:45
there's a Hong Kong Buffet now you don't
30:45
have to necessarily eat in
30:48
for 850 lb or 8 lb50 get a takeaway box
30:53
eat as much as you like but not for the
30:55
takeaway box
30:59
maybe I'll get a
31:00
little Hong Kong Buffet here maybe I get
31:03
something to go doesn't seem to be
31:04
anybody in this line all right it turns
31:06
out the takeaway box is a little smaller
31:08
than I expected this is the size of the
31:10
takeaway box great
31:12
50 so I got two still not a not a ton
31:16
but yeah I got two all right I got my
31:18
two takeaway boxes 850
31:21
each thought it was going to be like a a
31:24
much bigger box but there you go got got
31:27
doubled up on
31:43
him it's hard to believe this is going
31:43
to be my last night here my last after
31:47

31:49
