12:17Motion opens an aged German Riesling for a tasting with Sophie.
14:45The walk reaches St John's Wood's Abbey Road crossing before returning towards Little Venice for coffee.

David Motion's wine shop used to dispense pills and potions. Now it offers Sophie Nadeau an aged German Riesling, giving her latest London walk a particularly sociable stop along the way.

"The Prettiest London Neighbourhood You've Never Heard Of" was her only new upload this week, reaching roughly 34,000 views. The neighbourhood is Maida Vale, and Sophie builds the route around the details that make a walk worth slowing down for: the waterways at Little Venice, Clifton Nurseries' greenhouse, Victorian streets and plaques marking former residents.

On Clifton Road, Motion introduces The Winery and its former life as a Victorian pharmacy before opening a bottle for a tasting. Viewers single out his contribution, while others recall the Prince Alfred as their local pub or describe walks along the canal to Little Venice. This is a London itinerary with plenty of personal memories attached.

Sophie also ventures into nearby St John's Wood for the Abbey Road crossing and studios shop, then finishes with sandwiches and coffee near the water.

The Maida Vale guide is currently her busiest video for daily views. Behind it, "The World's Most Beautiful Road Trip (Ireland)" continues to draw viewers to Donegal and the Aran Islands, while her Montpellier guide supplies a longer-running French connection.

Across the channel, subscribers grew by about 1,000 over the week, although daily viewing is currently less than half its usual level. Among nearby travel channels, Evan Edinger Travel is enjoying a much busier daily audience than usual, while Visual Walk UK is close to its normal rhythm. Sophie's own week keeps its focus on a smaller journey: a London neighbourhood explored on foot, with time to meet the shopkeeper.

Having David, the wine guy on was a great addition, his shop looks absolutely brilliant as he appears to have a true passion for wine.
