Join me as I visit Buckingham Palace, known to Doctor Who fans from the climactic scene of the episode Voyage of the Damned, but probably better known to the rest of the world as Buckingham Palace. Upon arrival I had such deep observations to make such as: “That looks important. Big building. Check. Gilded Gates. Check. Woah. Giant gold statue. Check.” That gold statue is the Victoria Memorial (we'll get to that more later). For now, I was enthralled with looking at the beautiful exterior of Buckingham Palace and those incredible gates with the gold and intricate designs. There was also a unicorn statue which I was not expecting. I got my own obligatory selfie in front of Buckingham Palace. As you got closer to the center and front of Buckingham Palace, there were more and more tourists there taking photos. I kept moving along and taking in Buckingham Palace and eventually found a gap in a line of tourists and saw one of the guards on duty. He even shifted position whilst I was filming, so that was fun to catch a scene of that! The guard then resumed doing an impression of a Weeping Angel who knows that someone's looking at it (for non Doctor Who fans, that just means being very still). I then tried to get a shot of Buckingham Palace from a similar angle to how we see it appear in Doctor Who. Buckingham Palace most famously appeared in Doctor Who Voyage of the Damned, the 2007 Christmas special, and the scenes we're about to talk about do contain spoilers for that episode, so just a heads up there. We see the Queen and the Corgis evacuating Buckingham Palace as it is in danger of being hit by the Titanic that’s falling towards Earth from space. The Doctor is desperately trying to change its flight path, (which looks like it's going to directly hit Buckingham Palace) and thankfully, just in the nick of time, that happens! The Doctor is able to change the path of the Titanic to end up flying just by Buckingham Palace and we see the Queen waving her thanks standing just outside of Buckingham Palace. I thought it was kind of funny that while most people were here to visit Buckingham Palace, I was there to visit a Doctor Who filming location! You can even see me point at where the Titanic would have been falling out of the sky from. I had to throw in some jokes about Buckingham Palace being a TV set! I said, “I'm not sure if they set it up just for the Doctor Who episode Voyage of the Damned, or if they filmed any other TV shows here. Maybe The Crown? You can tell it's a set because they're not letting anybody in!” I certainly thought I was hilarious! I then wanted to explore what I now know is the Victoria Memorial, which I thought looked like a bunch of cool statues, which it is! The most eye-catching one is the gilded bronze statue at the top, which was glinting gold in the sunlight. Its base is made of marble with a bunch more statues, and there are some bronze statues further out. There is a statue of Queen Victoria on her throne facing intentionally towards the city. There's meaning behind each of the statues and the ways in which they're facing. I got some pictures in front of the Victoria Memorial. The gilded bronze looks so cool in the sunlight and there were even some birds flying around as well over the fountain around the Victoria Memorial base. All of which are right in front of Buckingham Palace! It was time for me to go, so I got some final shots of Buckingham Palace and headed out to get something to eat! So tune in next time as I try some tea and fish and chips, as well as a strawberry milkshake in London! Credits: Dedicated to my family for always believing in me!

Join me as I explore central London as my journey takes me to a famous Doctor Who Filming Location in the heart of Central London (Spoilers! It’s a surprise!)! My journey will take me from the Sapphire Hotel to Hammersmith Station on foot, then to St. James’s Park via Tube, past Westminster Chapel to this surprise location! But first, I'm implementing another stage of my plan to bring back as much Doctor Who merchandise with me as possible! It's gonna require me unpacking my suitcase, getting rid of the clothes I brought with me so that I can make room for more Doctor Who merchandise in my suitcase and then repacking it again. But I've only got 55 minutes to do that before checkout, so let's see if I can do it! With half an hour to go I had all my stuff laid out. My checkout time, I’d packed up again having ditched a lot of weight by getting rid of clothes that I had brought with me that had been worn out and were at the end of their lifespan. I intentionally brought them with me so I could get rid of them to make room for Doctor Who merchandise! My suitcase still feels the same weight, but that’s because I replaced the weight of the clothes with Doctor Who merchandise, however, my backpack is definitely feeling lighter. And I know that my suitcase is a lot lighter than if I tried to fit everything in, which I definitely could not have done as my suitcase is sadly not bigger on the inside! I'm off to London to see [redacted for spoilers] now and then I plan to do some shopping for some gifts for back home, and then I'm gonna make my way to Tutbury and Hatton. I set out walking and it is another beautiful day in the UK as I head to Hammersmith Station. My walk would take me about 0.8 miles from the Sapphire Hotel to Hammersmith Station, where I would be able to hop onto a train and start my journey to Central London. There was a beautiful lit up train at the entrance to Hammersmith Station that was so much fun to go through. And once inside, I got myself a steak bake sausage roll and a cheese and onion pasty from Greggs. I also got yogurt from Pret A Manger with granola and chocolate on top. Then I hopped on to the tube. My journey would take me from the Hammersmith tube station to St. James's Park Tube Station, and I found myself almost mesmerized by the way that the different sections would twist ahead of you and almost seem to warp reality. I just got out at St. James's Park, and now I'm on my way walking towards [redacted for spoilers]. Can you believe it? And look at this weather. It's windy, but it was sunny with blue skies! Weather aside, this mystery location that I'm walking to is a Doctor Who filming location. It's also very famous and it's in Central London. Along the way, I also spotted the Westminster Chapel which I thought looked beautiful and I found a red telephone box! So, of course, I had to get a shot in front of that! Very exciting! I continued walking and taking my suitcase with me closer and closer to this mystery location on this beautiful sunny day with blue skies in London. To Doctor Who fans, this is a prominent location featured in the climax of the Doctor Who episode Voyage of the Damned. To the rest of the world, it's known by a different name. I think you call it: Buckingham Palace! Tune in next time to see my visit to the outside of Buckingham Palace! Credits: Dedicated to my family for always believing in me!

Join me as I get a taste of British weather and get caught in the rain on my way back from Day 2 of London Comic Con! I planned to stop by a pizza restaurant on the way called Zia Lucia, and by the time I reached them it was only beginning to rain but the walk back to my hotel was still ahead of me. I got two pizzas from Zia Lucia and brought them back with me. That was when I would get my first taste of real proper UK weather. It was indeed raining as I walked back, and this was the first time it had ever rained for me on this trip while I was outdoors. I had great weather up until this point otherwise but I got caught in the rain on the way back to my hotel. And instead of immediately getting dry, I think, gee, I should be vlogging this! So I did. Then I dried off and ate my Pizza from Zia Lucia: their buffalo mozzarella margherita pizza and I got another pizza from them to try that looks lovely. I saw that it had olives on it, so I had to go for it! For dessert, I had a Cadbury Chocolate Fruit and Nut bar that Jason Goswell had so kindly bought for me a couple days back. Fueled by that, I then set up my camera and got to recording my recap of Day 2 of London Film and Comic Con and also to show everything that I got that day. I could not resist getting some Doctor Who pins because they were small and lightweight, so I can take them home with me. I got five pins with comic illustrations of the faces of the 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th Doctors! I would have gotten other Doctors except those were the only five Doctors they had there. I also got a comic from a vendor that is a Ninth Doctor variant cover. I got it for £10, but the thing about this is it very well may be a US variant cover. So it's very ironic that I traveled all the way to the UK to buy a US variant cover! I finally had to tear off my Comic Con weekend wristband. I don't know how you are supposed to get it off. I really had to yank mine off and tore it. For the first night, I just wore it all night because I couldn't figure out how to get it off. Thank you to Ian Smith who came up to me and said hello, and we got to talk for a little bit. It was so lovely to meet you. Thank you to Whovian Espresso (Aidan) for coming up and saying hello and introducing yourself. I was so glad that we could hang out for the rest of the convention! That was really cool! Thank you to Elijah Kraling who spotted me and came up and got a quick selfie! It was so much fun to meet you briefly. And to the Missy cosplayer, it was lovely to meet you and talk with you as well. It was all just so incredible. So many lovely people! So that's it. That's the end of another long but amazing day at London Film and Comic Con! Oh my gosh. I'm so tired, but so happy, so excited, so thrilled, and so in disbelief! I got asked in the comments how much I had walked on this trip, and I recently found a screenshot from November 12th that answers that question! November 06 2023: 02.7 Miles / 04.34 Kilometers / 06,068 Steps November 07 2023: 12.1 Miles / 19.47 Kilometers / 26,746 Steps November 08 2023: 09.6 Miles / 15.44 Kilometers / 21,236 Steps November 09 2023: 07.0 Miles / 11.26 Kilometers / 15,465 Steps November 10 2023: 09.8 Miles / 15.77 Kilometers / 21,820 Steps November 11 2023: 05.9 Miles / 09.49 Kilometers / 13,095 Steps November 12 2023: 06.1 Miles / 09.81 Kilometers / 13,561 Steps Tune in next time as I vlog my journey from London to Tutbury and Hatton. My journey of a 130 miles begins with a single jelly baby. Credits: Dedicated to my family for always believing in me!

Let’s try some donuts from Doughnut Time’s stand at London Film and Comic Con Day 2! I’m trying these doughnuts with Aidan aka Whovian Espresso on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@whovianespresso257 Donut Time’s celebrity donuts all have pun based names, so I got us the Kit Kat Harrington Doughnut and the Rob-Bat Pattinson Doughnut, which I think they missed an opportunity by not calling it the Robert Bat-tinson Doughnut! We split the doughnuts and got to try both kinds, and they were both very, very good! Sweet frosting with candy or Chocolate on top! What’s not to like? I got a soda to wash it down, and true to form, Whovian Espresso got coffee! You can check out Doughnut Time online here: https://doughnuttime.co.uk/ (Not a sponsor) We both then went to Camille Coduri’s talk. It was great. We really enjoyed hearing her talk about her career and especially about Doctor Who. It was there that another member of the Who crew recognized me and said hello! So, to Ian Smith who just came up and introduced himself, thank you so much for coming and saying hi and for recognizing me! It was amazing to meet you in person! Thank you so much for saying hi! It was lovely to talk with you and chat! At this point the convention was winding down, but we were determined to see it through to the end, so we kept exploring and spotted some cool LEGO Sonic screwdrivers, which I'd never seen made before! They were custom builds, so it was really cool to see the creativity that they were put together with. I also had to take a photo with this incredible super tall Chewbacca cosplayer! I said goodbye to Colin Baker for the last time on this trip. It's quite sad that it'll be the last time I see him on this trip but I've been quite lucky to see him several times on this trip! And I spotted Sylvester McCoy as he was leaving the convention. It was quite an unexpected and melancholy moment. It was powerful to see him just walking away and knowing that that was the last time I'd see him on this trip. I then responded to that with some retail therapy because, my goodness, there were so many Doctor Who DVDs at this one stall! Whilst I was in line for a photo with Matthew Waterhouse, Elijah Kraling came up and said hello, which was amazing! Thank you for coming up and taking a picture with me. It was so lovely to meet you. Alright, now we came to the end of London Comic Con Winter 2023. It's been amazing. I met so many people, got so many photos, bought too much merchandise, but there's no such thing really? And I met a lot of awesome people, including Whovian Espresso! It has been really so fun hanging out with you and getting to meet you. And, yeah, it's been a really great event. And so it's wrapping up now. Everybody's packing up. I feel like I'm staying to the last possible moment so that this won't end and this will go on forever. It was really fun! I then said goodbye to Aidan! I'll see you around on the interwebs next! It was amazing to meet you. You were so nice and lovely to meet in person. It was great to hang out and explore the conventions together. Now I'm headed back to my hotel. I plan to pick up some dinner on the way. What I didn't realize was that I was headed straight for a taste of some British weather. I was going to get caught in the rain on my way home! Tune in next time to see what happens!

Join me at Day 2 of London Comic Con Winter as a longtime member of the Who Crew who recognized me in the crowd and said hello! It is none other than Aidan aka Whovian Espresso on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@whovianespresso257 Aidan has been a supportive member of the Who Crew for a long time now so it was so amazing to meet in person, and we hung out for the rest of the convention! First we explored the convention, first shopping for Doctor Who merchandise on the lower level of the convention, and then we went to the upper level so that I could introduce Aiden to the comic artists who were there. Subscribe to Aidan (aka Whovian Espresso on YouTube): https://www.youtube.com/@whovianespresso257 We had a lovely long chat with Lee Sullivan, and Aidan bought a Liberation of the Daleks print that Lee signed. Next, I took Aidan to meet Jessica Martin as well, and Aidan bought her 7th Doctor Christmas Card! Jessica joked that I'd get an agent's fee for the next friend who I brought to get something! So that was really fun! Whovian Espresso had also got a photo with Camille which turned out great and Camille complimented Aidan’s blue coat! We then found a vendor’s table full of Doctor Who art prints plus Star Trek, Firefly, and many other fandoms! We spotted the K1 Robot and knew that BobaTennant would love that print! They also had art prints from The Star Beast featuring Beep the Meep which according to Aidan you can’t have too many posters of Beep the Meep! Aidan had also gotten a crocheted Sixth Doctor in his Blue Outfit from Pam's Happy Hats: https://www.pamshappyhats.com/ because the blue was a perfect match to Aidan’s coat! By this point I also had a crocheted Rose Tyler, K-9, and Adric from Pam's Happy Hats: https://www.pamshappyhats.com/ Aidan and I then had to split up and rendezvoused later on back at Sylvester McCoy's talk, which was really, really cool to see! When he got to the Q&A part, he got up off the stage and was walking around holding the mic up to everybody, playing his spoons on several people, giving the most hilarious and incredible entertaining time to everybody that was there. I got to ask him a question towards the very end, and I asked him what was his favorite prank that he ever played to anybody on the set of Doctor Who. And he said that although it was a good question, he just couldn't remember a specific example to give at the moment. So he said, “Hey, if something pops into my head, I'll come back to it.” Unfortunately, that was towards the very end of the talk, and so he never did get back around to it. But it was still amazing to have him standing right in front of me holding my mic! So that was so much fun! I'm so glad I got to go! We then spotted this amazing Missy cosplayer who had such an incredible costume! I just had to get a photo with her! It was lovely to meet you. Thank you so much for taking the time to talk with us! Tune in next time as Aidan and I try some of Donut Time’s Celebrity Donuts: the Kit Kat Harrington Donut, and the Rob-Bat Pattinson Donut as the adventures continue at London Film and Comic Con Winter Day 2.

Join me as I meet Matthew Waterhouse (Adric) and Camille Coduri (Jackie Tyler) at Day 2 of London Comic Con Winter! Matthew Waterhouse played Adric in 42 episodes of Doctor Who in 1980-1982 and Camille Coduri who played Jackie Tyler in 14 episodes of Doctor Who in 2005-2006, 2008, and 2010. Today I'll be getting professional photos taken with both of them as well as meeting them and getting their signatures in my Whotopia book! First up, I get into the line for Matthew Waterhouse, and when I finally get my turn, I get to say hello and tell him about my trip and he signed his page in my Whotopia book with a star, which is absolutely amazing! He was so cheerful and friendly and interested in what you had to say. A lot of people also hadn't seen the Whotopia book before because back at MCM Comic Con on October 27, 2023, I had gotten it in advance of its release date (November 16, 2023). It still wouldn't come out for another four days at this point on November 12, so for many of the actors who signed this, this was their first time seeing themselves in this book! Before I could have my photo taken with Matthew Waterhouse, I needed to first get something from one of the vendors: Pam's Happy Hats: https://www.pamshappyhats.com/ who makes crocheted Doctor Who characters! I needed to see if she had a crocheted Adric that I could buy and take with me to my photo with Matthew Waterhouse. Pam is a wonderful Doctor Who fan who has crocheted a ton of Doctor Who doctors and characters and when I saw them, they were just so adorable that I wanted to buy every single one! So I asked her if she had an Adric, which indeed she did! So I bought her crocheted Adric for my photo with Matthew Waterhouse! And because Pam knew that I would be taking it to my photo, she kindly gave me a discount on it as well! So I got in line and had my photo with Matthew Waterhouse and I love how it turned out! He's pointing at the crocheted Adric plushie and I love his expression! I could not be more happy with this photo! Next up, I broke out my Whotopia book again and got in line for Camille Coduri who signed my Whotopia book on her page for Jackie Tyler, writing, “To Alex, With Love, Camille Coduri.” It’s a lovely signature from a lovely person! I then went back to Pam's Happy Hats and asked Pam if she had a crocheted Jackie Tyler. Unfortunately, she did not have one in stock but she did have a crocheted Rose Tyler, which was just adorable that she gave me for FREE! How nice was that? So I brought that crocheted Rose Tyler with me to my photo with Camille Coduri. I absolutely love how the photo came out! Camille Coduri absolutely loved the crocheted Rose Tyler! We actually took 2 photos together. The second of which I gave to Pam as a thank you for giving me the crocheted Rose Tyler for free! I also got to go to Camille Coduri's talk later on in the day, which I really enjoyed. She talked about Doctor Who, which was very fun. It was really cool to attend her talk! So far today I have met Jackie Tyler (Camille Coduri), David Gooderson (Davros), Matthew Waterhouse (Adric) and John Leeson (K9) and I've gotten all of them to sign my Whotopia book! I also just met comic artist Kev F Sutherland and got him to sign my Whotopia book as well! Kev f Sutherland has done some Doctor Who comics and wanted to sign on the page with Ace and he did that for free! I got his comic for £3: the Scottish Falsettos Sock Puppet Theatre Superheros, which just sounded way too entertaining to not buy a copy of! I also got some more cards from Jessica Martin and said hello to Lew Stringer again! Now I've just had a bite to eat and I wanted to say thank you to Mike, the Doctor Who fan, who let me sit at his table with him! We got to talking about Doctor Who. Thanks so much for hanging out with me and talking with me. I had a great time! I also had a nice sandwich and some fudge. Tune in next time as I meet up with a longtime member of the Who Crew for the first time in person!

Join me as I meet John Leeson (K9) and David Gooderson (Davros) at Day 2 of London Comic Con Winter! I immediately got in line for John Leeson who voiced K9, the Doctor's Robot Dog companion for many episodes! I was so excited to be in line for him! I got to meet him and take an incredible selfie with him! He alternated between talking in his K9 voice and his own voice and he was so wonderful and adorable and he signed my Whotopia book on his page for K9 writing, “Tail wags to Alex from K9, John Leeson.” I then got a professional picture taken with him and I love how it turned out! His expression is priceless. He’s holding up a crocheted K9 that he clearly loved that I brought with me. I had bought that crocheted K9 from one of the vendors called Pam's Happy Hats. Pam is a wonderful Doctor Who fan who has crocheted a ton of Doctor Who Doctors and characters and when I saw them, they were just so adorable, that I wanted to buy every single one! And you can buy them from Pam’s Happy Hats here: https://www.pamshappyhats.com/ I thought it would be a fun thing to buy a crocheted plush of the person who I was getting a photograph with and have them hold it up as a part of the photo! I spotted Pam’s K9 plush and the look is just adorable! The detail down to the buttons and the collar and the tail is amazing! And so I purchased her K9 plush for my photo with John Leeson and it really impacted how well the photo came out! The expression on his face clearly shows how excited he is to see that plush. So I went back to Pam and showed her that photo, and she absolutely loved it! I also got to get a photo with David Gooderson who played Davros in Destiny of the Daleks in 1979! David Gooderson was lovely to meet as well and I got a signature from him on his page in Whotopia. Earlier on in the day, I had also gotten a selfie with him as well as the professional photo I got that also turned out great! It was so cool to meet him! By the way, I met somebody in line for John Leeson who said to me (out of the blue) behind me in the line, “So what's on the schedule for the Doctor Who Guide today?” I was gobsmacked! I said, “Hi! What? You recognize me?” To which he replied, “Yep. I recognize you!” And I'm so sorry. I don't remember your name, but it was so lovely to meet you! It was so cool to be recognized, and I can't believe that you recognized me. It was so lovely to meet you just briefly while we were in line for John Leeson! Thank you for saying hi! Tune in next time as my adventures at the London Film and Comic Con Day 2 continue! I still have Camille Cadouri (Jackie Tyler) and Matthew Waterhouse (Adric) to meet and get photos with so stay tuned!

What better way to reminisce about meeting Rosie Talbot (@merrowchild on TikTok) than with some Pizza from Zia Lucia! Rosie Talbot is an author and TikToker who I recognized at a convention happening in the same venue as the London Film and Comic Con Winter 2023. That convention was the Young Adult Literature Convention (YALC). I wasn’t expecting to meet Rosie Talbot there; I recognized her from her TikTok videos! I couldn't believe my eyes! I said hello and she was so nice! She even offered me some of her popcorn! A kind convention attendee took my picture with her and we talked about the convention and all the signings she was doing and the talks she would be giving. We got to talk about my trip and how nice the weather had been since I’d arrived. She said that I must have brought the nice weather to the UK, and I shouldn't leave so that we could all have nice weather there perpetually! That was so fun and so cool, so on the next day I got the paperback of one of her books: Sixteen Souls! I wanted to get it signed, but by the time I found the line for her signing, the line was too long and I didn’t have time to wait as I had photos scheduled with other convention guests. But it was amazing to get her book and to meet her in person. I've really enjoyed reading Sixteen Souls since my trip to the UK! It's a great Young Adult Spooky Queer Romance/Mystery novel, and I really enjoyed it! Find Rosie Talbot online: https://www.tiktok.com/@merrowchild And that was everything that happened on Day One of London Film and Comic Con Winter! After the convention ended, I left the Olympia Events Centre and started walking back to my hotel. On the way back, I spotted Sinclair Road and thought of Ryan Sinclair, so my brain was clearly still in Doctor Who mode. I saw a poster of Christopher Eccleston's performance at the Old Vic of A Christmas Carol. That must have been so amazing! I wish I'd known about it and been able to go! My hotel was only a very short walk away from Olympia events, and my journey would take me by a pizza restaurant called Zia Lucia. I was just thinking to myself before I saw this restaurant that I'm really craving pizza right now, and so it was just meant to be. I got a pizza from them and headed back to my hotel. The Zia Lucia pizza was absolutely incredible! Oh my gosh! It was delicious! And I would get pizza from them again the very next night as well! Find Zia Lucia online: https://zialucia.com/hammersmith/ It was very tasty and lovely with a bag of Jelly Babies that I picked up at Victoria Station! After supper, it was time to sit down and record a video recapping my thoughts on the entire day. It was such a big day! I cannot believe it. Tune in next time as I go to Day 2 of London Film and Comic Con and get photos with Camille Cadouri (Jackie Tyler), Matthew Waterhouse (Adric), John Leeson (K9), and David Gooderson (Davros)!

Join me as I go to Karen Gillan’s talk at London Film and Comic Con! Famous for playing Amy Pond in Doctor Who, Nebula in Guardians of the Galaxy, and Ruby Roundhouse in Jumanji to name a few; getting to see her talk on stage was a highlight of London Film and Comic Con! Plus I got to enjoy it with fellow YouTuber, Doctor Who Fan, and Vlogger: Nicholas Payne! Nick has his own YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@NicholasPayne01/ and also makes videos for the Whoniversal's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Whoniversals/ and we would spend a lot of this day of the convention together! Before we went to Karen Gillan’s talk we waited at the end of a very long line for Karen Gillan and the vain hopes of being able to get an autograph. Unfortunately Karen had to stop signing autographs and left her booth to go take photos with fans who had booked them ahead of time. As she leaves her booth she walks about 20, maybe 30 feet away from us! So I filmed a little clip of Karen Gillan walking away. It was so cool to just be in the same room as Karen Gillan! We then made sure that Nick had a ticket to Karen Gillan's talk as well and we went to her talk! It was so cool to see her up on stage! There were lots of people who wanted to ask questions so while our hands were raised we didn’t get picked. However, if I could have asked her a question, I would have asked her if she ever plays the Doctor, how would she change that for that performance from Amy? Nick Payne thought the talk was really good and was full of great information. If Nick were to ask Karen Gillan a question, it would have been: would she consider doing more directing? At the very end of the talk, she said that she was filming something that she couldn't tell us anything about that she was very excited about, but that involved a reunion with someone that she said everybody there would be a fan of. So what is that? This talk was back in 2023. Was she talking about something like Doctor Who or Marvel or Jumanji or something else? Questions swirling in our brains, Nick and I went off to explore more of the convention. The day was winding down and the end of the convention was approaching. We were always on the lookout for Doctor Who merchandise. Nick got some more Doctor Who action figure sets. We also got to talking with two people about the convention and Guardians of the Galaxy and it was great to meet them both while we were getting some soda and having a break at one of the tables. It was so lovely to meet Nick Payne in person! Thank you for joining me in the vlog today and hanging out! It was great! As the convention was over, Nick and I said our goodbyes and parted ways. I highly recommend you subscribe to his YouTube channel: Find Nicholas Payne on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NicholasPayne01/ https://www.youtube.com/@Whoniversals/ https://www.youtube.com/@Twoniversals/ And I started my walk home. Tune in next time as my route serendipitously takes me past pizza restaurant, Zia Lucia, and I get to try some of their incredible pizza and get ready for Day Two of London Film and Comic Con!
