St John's Wood London Walk | Abbey Road & The High Street

St John's Wood is one of London's most elegant and unhurried neighbourhoods — tree-lined streets, beautiful Victorian mansion blocks, and a high street that still feels like a village in the middle of the city. In this walk, we wander through St John's Wood High Street, taking in the character of the london street at an easy pace — the grand architecture, the quiet corners, the little details that make this part of London so distinctive.
