London's Wonderland & the Golden Mile (4K)

A walk through the history of Gunnersbury Park and the 'Golden Mile' of the Great West Road.

Please subscribe for regular videos: http://bit.ly/1EJjIB8 This walk follows the first section of the walk in Chapter 1 of my book This Other London which starts at the majestic Gunnersbury Park in West London. The Park was originally the grounds of Gunnersbury House, a Georgian mansion built for King George III's aunt Princess Amelia. Today it's home to Gunnersbury Museum and the house is open to the public. We then walk along the 'Golden Mile' - a strip of the A4 Great West Road running through Brentford that from the 1920's become an industrial centre for a number of household names and famous for its Art Deco architecture. Some of the companies based here included Smiths Crisps, Gillette, Currys, Beachams, and Firestone Tyres. Our walk ends at the Gillette Building on Gillette Corner.
