London bus ride with my Dad: 168 Waterloo to Hampstead Heath TOP DECK VIEW in real time with my Dad
Took a 168 bus from Waterloo station all the way along the route to Hampstead Heath... with my retired London taxi driver Dad.
I grew up in Camden, and we drive past all the places we remember.
Funny looking at it now, as it was shot a few days before The Great Shutdown of 2020.
