A Walk in London: Strand, Part IV

Part four of an exploration of The Strand. This one brings us just up to Aldwych and includes Hotel Cecil (and a notorious guest), a visionary artist, a beloved chop house, and more!

Strand stretches from Trafalgar Square to Fleet Street, and finds contemporary concrete blocks competing for attention with historic structures. Chain restaurants, chemists, and boutiques abut 300-year-old tea shops, ancient churches, and palatial neo-classical homes. But this is part of what makes London so fascinating—the juxtapositions between ancient and modern, sacred and secular, refined and brutal.

Rather than the massive all-at-one-go videos I’ve posted, I’m going to share my last walk along The Strand in bite-sized bits. I hope you enjoy viewing this as much as I enjoyed making it. Thank you so much for watching! If you enjoyed this video, please consider liking / sharing it and subscribing to this account. Thank you!
