@Look_UpLondon Wonderful, what a building & a great story. Thank you.
@Look_UpLondon @antartica81 It's one of London's jewels.
@Look_UpLondon That’s so interesting! We’ve travelled from Scotland to Wiltshire many times over the years to visit my elderly Mum, and always admire that building while queueing for taxis. One day we’re going to treat ourselves to a night or two in it.
@Look_UpLondon I remember my sister being baptised in that church in the mid 50s. We lived on Luke Street.
@KarenFAddington @Look_UpLondon Oh that’ sounds wonderful. Are there other routes?
Last Saturday I went on a @Look_UpLondon walking tour around Kings Cross & St Pancras with brilliant tour guide Katie. I learned lots even though I know this area of London well. Thoroughly recommend her tours and following her on Twitter/X
Heading to the Young Vic later and have always wondered about the amount of infill housing in the Cut. Will take a look. Thanks @Look_UpLondon
@Look_UpLondon Must have passed this a million times. So sad. Great work
@Look_UpLondon Hi, I finally caught up on your Artscapdes guide to Medieval London this weekend. I really enjoyed it and look forward to watching more, if you do them 😀
So. The ghostliest of ghost signs on Commercial Road. A good hunting ground for @ghostsignsuk and @Look_UpLondon
@Look_UpLondon @StPaulsLondon Just bought two of yoour books from Awesomebooks today. Your posts are so interesting, cheers!
@MrAlexJOliver @Look_UpLondon Strictly speaking Club 18-30 was nothing to do with Cook's travel agency but nonetheless poor Thomas C would have been aghast at the modern beach holiday!
@Look_UpLondon Currently reading a book that details quite a bit about the formation of Thomas Cook. It’s called ‘Tourists’ and is by @LucyLethbridge. T. Cook; Originally serving members of the temperance movement, it later became the home of Club 18-30! 😆🍻
@Look_UpLondon Also the starting point for the firm's various London sightseeing tours, e.g. their Dickens specials in 1912 ... a whole-day drive including lunch and tea for only fifteen bob!
@Look_UpLondon A beautiful and astonishing survival. And often one or two excellent cats on patrol too.
@Look_UpLondon Fascinating. Had the pleasure of working on the repairs to a Grade II garden wall at Morden College in Blackheath, an almshouse started by John Morden, reportedly designed by Wren and built by has favoured mason Edward Strong. Definitely also worth a look if you're SE
