London Paddington station built in the mid 19 th century, designed by the great Victorian engineer Isambard kingdom Brunel .

Please look after this bear, thank you! Paddington

Please look after this bear, thank you!
Paddington Bear was discovered in #paddington #station in 1958, a refugee from Peru. His creator Michael Bond was inspired by WW2 refugee children and by a lonely bear in the lost luggage shop in Baker St in 1956. Paddington bear lived in Nottinghill at 32 Windsor Gardens and was frequently seen in #portbello road market talking to the stall holders. The statue of #paddington is by Marcus Cornish . The first teddy bear was made by Jeremy Clarkson and his wife for their children’s Christmas present in 1972. #visitbritain #visitengland #visitlondon #paddington #littlevenice #camdentown #konradwolktouristguide join me on my entertaining Little Venice walk which starts at Paddington where you meet the bear and walks along the Regents canal to Camden Town and Market.

The beautiful coloured shops and houses in one of #london’s best markets #portobelloroad #market, now sadly deserted but great for my solo walk everyday . The market gets its name from a battle between the #spanish and #british in modern day #panama in a town called #portobelo in 1739. The market started as a vegetable market in the 19 th c, antiques and bric a brac in the 1940’s. It starred in the movie #nottinghill and was the inspiration for the scene in #bedknobsandbroomsticks #visitbritain #visitengland🇬🇧 #konradwolktouristguide

I went to visit my fathers grave today in #kensalg

I went to visit my fathers grave today in #kensalgreen cemetery . The cemetery was the first municipal ground in London opening its doors in 1833. The architect of the chapels which then included an Anglican and Dissenters chapel was by Henry Kendal. My father Roscislaw Wolkowinski was born in 1914 into a Russian/Polish aristocratic family living outside of Kharkov in the Ukraine. 1917 the villages warned my grandmother about the communist sailors in the village . They fled dressed as peasants to Kharkov then onto Istanbul . After the war in 1918 my family moved to Poland where my grandfather who had fought for the Czar’s White Army Konrad was a judge and my father Slawek studied law. 1939 like many young Polish men he fled to Hungary then to join General Anders Free Polish army travelling through the Middle East to North Africa fighting in Tobruk and Monte Cassino in Italy . He met my mother in Rome in 1945 where they married. After the war they could not return to Communist Poland and were given leave to settle in the UK. My father could not afford to study English law and studied to be a teacher. He taught MI6 students Russian in Scotland before teaching in schools and Essex University but also working for 4 exam boards writing exams and examining students studying Russian . #poland #russia #ukraine #carpathianpolishbrigade #konradwolktouristguide

My walk today took me around #nottinghill to the normally busy #portobello road market. I love the vibe and atmosphere even though it was so quiet today. The Electric cinema in Portobello opened its doors I as one of the first purpose built cinemas in 1910 in #london. It became notorious in the 1950’s when the notorious murderer John Christie of #rillingtonplace worked as a projectionist at the cinema. #visitengland #visitbritain #konradwolktouristguide #uk check out my new walk Notting Hill and Portobello Market Rock Stars and Bohemians ! #visitbritain #visitengland🇬🇧 #visitlondon❤️
