It's a pity that so many American tourists go to Tower Bridge ( built 1886), but don't visit the Tower of London (partly built 1090). I know it may be expensive, but the history is immense. And the Yeomen Warders give highly entertaining tours.
I've lived about 30 mins from London pretty much my whole life and I've never been to either I mean sure I've been on the bridge and walked round the outside of the tower but its horrifically expensive when most museums in London are free
There are a couple of famous cats who live in London. The speaker of the House of Commons has just got a new cat and that cat lives inside Parliament right by Big Ben tower. There is also a cat in the foreign office, and one who lives in number 10 Downing Street. They don’t get on with each other!
Speaking as a Brit, it’s so easy for us to just see concrete and rain but you are reminding me that it’s cool and beautiful in its own way. And double deckers are so much fun. Got to ride top front!
I love to see an Americans perspective on London being a London and half myself. This phone is snatching thing is becoming an epidemic all over Europe. I’ve heard it’s bad in Barcelona Madrid and other European cities. The police really need to get a handle on this, but I’m glad to see you are being observant, and keeping your phone connected to you as a great idea.
What a cheerful lovely couple you are. You were unlucky to have such cold temperatures, as it most often it's not that cold. It was good to see that you never let it spoil your enthusiasm.
You should take the Uber boat down to Greenwich, which is amazing. It is a great way to tour the river. The park is beautiful & there are alot of good pubs, also the market. Tourists often don't go & they really miss out. They film there alot, Bridgerton, The Crown, Pirates of the Caribbean. The Painted Hall is the 🇬🇧 Sistine Chapel.
I’d say Thames River Boat cruises are better- local London family run with the most interesting and humorous commentary. Goes the same route from Westminster Pier down to Greenwich but so much better that Uber.
Well done, picking up on Sir Horace Jones. These anecdotes give colour to travel pieces. I've just been writing about an 18th century wealthy landowner who forced a canal engineer to dig a long tunnel because he didn't want the canal to go through his estate... only he died a year later, so he never go to enjoy his canal-free view!
My first time in Washington DC I got to my hotel late afternoon and they booked me into an evening tour of monuments and landmark buildings, so the next day, I was able to re-visit things I wanted to see more of and not waste time with the others. I reckon its a good strategy for a new city.
Curry chicken sandwich is called a Coronation Chicken Sandwich. You can find them at any Tesco , Sainsbury’s, Waitrose or Coop food store. To save money do a meal deal 1 x sandwich, 1 x drink 1 x crisp (chips) or chocolate (candy) bar or 1 x danish (on price label they tell you if part of meal deal) 😳 you can also get a coronation chicken sandwich at Starbucks, Cafe Nero or Costa coffee shops!
@@TravelSpreeOfficial and really, as much as you love it, just make a standard chicken salad sandwich and add a little yellow curry powder. I can't remember the last time I had chicken salad without it. It's just so much better than plain!
Sometimes as an ex-London Balck Cab driver of 31yrs (still have my badge/medallion) its so frustrating watching tourist videos as they walk straight past some absolute gems to explore and missing out on some of the incredibly poignant historic meaning at certain venues. Next time you come to London, drop us a line and me and my wife Joanna will be your tour guide! Great video ,lots of fun to watch whilst we chomped on our breakfast 😂 Ps:the opening scene was the back entrance to the House of Lords /St Stephens hall in Abingdon St and you was watching peers and Lords and civil Servant or lobbyist going into work at their chambers or for a debate? That’s why the police presence was so heavy.
If you put the headphones in you also get some great history and facts about what you’re passing when stuck in that traffic. These tourist bus passes are excellent value for money I always think.💚
I’ve just came across your videos and absolutely love it. Next time if you come Christmas time again visit a panto traditional here in the UK. Also venture out of London i love the place but there’s so much more to the UK than London be nice for you to experience.
Going to the UK, London in the winter(December) is an upside & a downside. Downside the weather is very cold and wet, the upside is all the Christmas markets, lights etc. I hope you guys check out Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park, that's a must when in London during the Christmas period.
No!!!! Never go to Winter Wonderland. It is a complete and utter rip off. Expensive. It’s gets so crowded you can’t see anything, literally just a sea of people. The stalls are overpriced tat and the few rides are extortionate. Never, ever go there. It’s just overpriced food and drinks, a couple of rides and stalls of very very expensive nonsense.
Winter is a good time to see London as a lot of tourist spots are not so busy as in the summer. But you need to take care if you venture to places outside London as some tourist attractions shut down for the winter. Many stately homes close in about early October and open again at Easter though some of them open up for Christmas with the house decorated and lots of lights and some have craft stalls, like the Christmas market you saw, too to buy handmade presents.
Except the period around christmas, which is not only full of tourists but also there's an increase of commuters for some reason which makes my travel to work a nightmare.
Hi Fain & Laura. Laura your makeup always looks impeccable. 😍 You two look great all bundled up. I hope to travel to London one day. Im fascinated with history and have studied the history extensively so this trip made me even more excited. Another fantastic video. Safe travels ☺️
Loving your enthusiasm .. London is not somewhere you can be shown around in a couple of hours .. however some research on areas you want to visit is always a good idea. Go into the Tower Of London and there are free tours/talks all the time once you've paid to go in .. also lots of information. You are then standing in a building that was built in 1078 by William the Conqueror. A little tip for anyone else visiting in the winter .. get some thermals .. trousers and long sleeved t-shirt thermals .. you don't have to bulk up but will be toasty warm.
I love that Sara and Tony made another guest appearance! I just really like their vibe and their videos too.❤️🤗❤️ I love that you're doing all the Touristy Things in London! Ive often wondered if they are fun/ worth it. I've also never seen one of those phone tethers before,but i think im going to get one!👍👍
Hey Patricia, the beautiful bridge they went on was tower bridge. London Bridge is a different bridge higher upstream, not worth visiting in my opinion as it’s very boring and plain to look at! Just don’t want you popping in a taxi and asking for the wrong bridge and ending up disappointed! London is a great place to visit, I love it so much. Yes some things are expensive, but there is also lots and lots to do for free! Hope you get to visit soon!
I naively thought the phone snatching was blown out of proportion and sensationalized in the media, but they were really out there snatching phones. That was wild.
Try not to use Google maps on one's phone but get a pocket sized A-Z and a paper tube /bus map, no one is going to snatch those. If using the phone stand close to a wall with the phone in the hand closest to it, not in the middle of the pavement. Do not place phones on restaurant tables whilst eating, keep in pocket.
@@TravelSpreeOfficial Like 3-4 years now, I use them all the time, to get to work / get around the city! No traffic jams and don’t have to worry about locking up my own bike.
Yeah I’m from London. Happens all the time. Kids on bike grab them and they get a couple hundred for them. They get sent to china where they are unlocked and resold

It’s so funny you are definitely becoming an honorary Brit, when you moan about the weather LOL it is winter after all!!! But I do forgive you as I think you said you are from Florida. But it’s no colder in London, then it is in New York. in fact, I’ve heard it is colder there.
I loved the view from the ladies loo in the Shard restaurant and from my window seat at lunch. Nice video, took me back to my week in London. Thanks, hugs.
When we traveled to Athens and Rome over the summer we did a golf cart or tuk tuk tour the very first day we got there. It was an affordable and fantastic way to see the main sites, get oriented to where things are, and get some info about everything. Both tour guides were incredible!! Especially the tuk tuk guide in Athens.
My cousin lives in central London and has a cat, they are definitely there but I think because of how busy it is on the roads and walk ways cats tend to stay indoors or just stay close to their homes. If you want to see cats in London then book in with the cat cafe, it’s a lovely experience.
With UK it's not the cold ( which in objective truth is not as cold as many places in America) it is the cold and eternal dampness combined which saps the spirit very quickly. Hey kudos to you for even considering a Thames river cruise this time of year. If you like street food go to Brick Lane
If you’d like to see London in warm weather try July or August , but it might still rain . That big building next to Big Ben ( actually that’s the bell , the tower is Elizabeth Tower ), that is the Palace of Westminster our Parliament building . Lovely to see you enjoying our capital city .
@@dianeunderhill8506 It’s a damp cold 🥶 though. If you visit the Southwest deserts in the USA it’s very dry and there’s a 30 degree drop in temperature every night. So it’s 80 degrees during the day and 50 degrees overnight. It’s different if you’re not used to it 🤣
I think you might mean 'coronation chicken' sandwich ........ sort of chicken in curry mayo with sultanas..... when you mention curried chicken sandwich. ? It's delish! So glad you had a good time in London. Come back any time!
If you're missing your cat (s) , there are quite a few 'Cat Cafe's ' in London where you can have afternoon tea ( including that chicken curry sandwich aka Coronation Chicken you crave :) ) and interact with cats and kittens . They are usually rescued kitties who are mostly available to adopt and any entrance fees you pay on top of the cost of food goes towards the cat's care i.e food & vet bills . Oh , and you can pop into any supermarket like M& S ( Marks & Spencer's) and grab a takeaway Coronation chicken sandwich ! ;)
Great video. I've subbed👍 You mentioned currywurst. Well I'm fairly sure you have got Aldi in USA, they sell them in the frozen section here in UK so I imagine they would in US. They are very tasty. I lived in Germany for 3 years and almost every night went to the little wooden take away hut and would have currywurst and chips (fries) and the frozen ones from Aldi are almost as good.
@ I only saw it by chance while my friend was shopping there. It's well worth a visit. Or maybe phone them up first to ask if they sell it. Save you a journey.✌
Over winter there’s not a lot of daylight hours. London is actually further north than about 90% of Canadians. It’s not as cold but it’s humid. So the cold in the winter and the heat in the summer can really get to you. It is however only hot for about 2 weeks in summer and cold weather and winter drags on for about 6 months. 🙀
There isn't as much vehicle traffic in London because - I would suggest - it's a legacy of the Mayor's introduction of firstly, the congestion charge for entering central London, and then secondly, introducing the ultra low emissions zone. Which, if your car isn't ULEZ compliant, see's you being charged for just being parked outside your house. But the net result is probably less people taking private cars into London.
Laura and Fain, it sounds like walking around in London is just like walking around in New York City. Everyone walks fast there and any which way they want so I would assume it’s just like walking there.
A lot of people work in London. It’s a working city. I worked there in different jobs and was always rushing to and from work. I worked in Westminster and used to get so annoyed at tourists just ambling along, blocking the pavements 😂😂😂
CORONATION CHICKEN sandwich - try one from Pret a Manger If you want to see Tower Bridge opening, you can get the times on the website. Boats have to book 24h in advance, so it also shows the name of vessel passing through
There's a chief mouser in 10, Downing St (the home of our Prime Minister) he's called Larry and has his own social media accounts , he's much loved and very famous...oh, he didn't like your soon-to-be President (again) cats are good at sussing humans out 😅
Enjoy the Christmas and holiday season market. Those phone 📱 tithers been around for awhile and work for all kind stuff. Lot people use them for work keys or key cards. London looks amazing at night. We wemt handmade events in Pittsburgh so call see people and what make and sell in home city. Bought few things even homemade champagne 🍾 hard cider. Only took few videos very hard all people
If you like the glass floor, you should try the one at the top of the CN Tower in Toronto. It is MUCH higher! I'm surprised how you are always on about how cold it is there as Atlanta Georgia, not that far from where you're from has COLDER winters!
@TravelSpreeOfficial one hour with a Beefeater, then it's up to you for the Jewel house( and don't compare your engagement ring). Then you have the white tower etc. There atr RUclips videos on it.
It really cool to fall in love with a city, then bring someone back you love and watch them see it and fall for it the first time as well.

another great vlog x
Thank you!! 😊
13:20 Wow
There isn't as much vehicle traffic in London because - I would suggest - it's a legacy of the Mayor's introduction of firstly, the congestion charge for entering central London, and then secondly, introducing the ultra low emissions zone. Which, if your car isn't ULEZ compliant, see's you being charged for just being parked outside your house. But the net result is probably less people taking private cars into London.
Laura and Fain, it sounds like walking around in London is just like walking around in New York City. Everyone walks fast there and any which way they want so I would assume it’s just like walking there.
A lot of people work in London. It’s a working city. I worked there in different jobs and was always rushing to and from work. I worked in Westminster and used to get so annoyed at tourists just ambling along, blocking the pavements 😂😂😂
04:25 THAT is the National Gallery. There is no such thing as "The National Museum". 😜
There is the British Museum tho, which is also cool. 👍
What a beautiful place
London wasn't always a bike city! They've been working to change it for the past 20 years! We're trying in the US too, like in Philly where I'm at.
CORONATION CHICKEN sandwich - try one from Pret a Manger
If you want to see Tower Bridge opening, you can get the times on the website. Boats have to book 24h in advance, so it also shows the name of vessel passing through
Did you not go to the Tower Bridge engine rooms too? It’s included in the ticket price.
No, we would’ve missed the last water cruise for the night
@ ah shame. Hope you enjoyed your time.
Try looking for Coronation Chicken Sandwich for the curried chicken.
@@susanletissier9729 thank you! ❤️
There's a chief mouser in 10, Downing St (the home of our Prime Minister) he's called Larry and has his own social media accounts , he's much loved and very famous...oh, he didn't like your soon-to-be President (again) cats are good at sussing humans out 😅
Please can you tell me the brand of phone tether you guys used in London? Thanks...love your videos so keep it up!
Did you miss out on the engine room on your tour of Tower Bridge? This is one of the highlights of the tour.
@@WilliamGarrow yeah, we would’ve miss the ferry, unfortunately
Enjoy the Christmas and holiday season market. Those phone 📱 tithers been around for awhile and work for all kind stuff. Lot people use them for work keys or key cards.
London looks amazing at night.
We wemt handmade events in Pittsburgh so call see people and what make and sell in home city. Bought few things even homemade champagne 🍾 hard cider. Only took few videos very hard all people
For shopping and food markets head to the spitalfields/ Brick Lane area
The bridge your lot thought you was getting.
Come in the summer
If you like the glass floor, you should try the one at the top of the CN Tower in Toronto. It is MUCH higher! I'm surprised how you are always on about how cold it is there as Atlanta Georgia, not that far from where you're from has COLDER winters!
I just hope they didn't forget to go to Camden Stable Market
