Hannah, you are a great tour guide and probably the most beautiful one in the world 🙂
Hannah, why have the BBC not hired you yet? Every tour that you do for us is funny, informative and interesting, but this one was pretty epic. Thank you so much 💕
haha I wish!
IKR?
You would be a great asset 😀
Lol
Thank you for highlighting the scammers. Beautiful day in London
The best part is the guy singing "New York New York" in the heart of London LOL
LIFE ON THE RIVER THAMES | Big Ben Must Do London Walk To St Paul’s Cathedral. Interesting and engaging video. I support your video. Watched the video on June 22, 2022 very like. Thank you so much. Have anice day
Many thanks!
Beautiful vlog! Hannah, you should receive the honorary title of Ambassador of Tourism for the excellent job you do. You and your amazing vlogs play an extremely important role and help a lot to publicize tourism in London. The Govt. of London should also provide you with a credential or a free entry pass to museums, palaces, castles and iconic places where entry is charged. Since the financial revenue collected by the Govt. from tourism owes a lot to you and other youtubers too! I would vote for that! Greetings from Brazil
Completely agree!
ha thanks! I do try! I hope people stop hating on London so much!
@@HannahRicketts why do they hate it? It’s a wonderful place!
So fun!!! We were just there in April and I already want to go back. We stayed just around the corner from St. Paul's, so every morning we'd pop out of our hotel lobby and BAM!!! There was this gorgeous cathedral. I fell in love! You definitely need to go inside. It's STUNNING and much more open than Westminster. (but yeah, no filming, just photos, of which we got MANY!) I even got a snow globe in the gift shop with little birds that fly around the cathedral like the one in Mary Poppins. I had to check it in my bag to come home, but it was nicely packed and made it home safely. A treasured souvenir. ❤️ I love the South Bank. I think the Elizabeth Tower looks gorgeous with the blue! 💙 Thanks for the fun walk!!
Thanks for the tip about St. Pauls, Anna.
I'm going for the first time this December over Christmas, so I'll have to put that on my list!
@annaburch in which hotel did you stay?
@@ananoguera Leonardo Royal St. Paul's. It was GREAT! Big room, awesome doorman, beautiful rooftop bar, SWIMMING POOL! 😳 and a great location. The price was reasonable for three of us. We were happy.
Great Vlog Hannah! This one really made me miss London. Iconic places and buildings that literally millions have viewed over many many generations! I couldn't help but picturing my Dad as a young man from the Canadian Air Force visiting London during WWII as I stood and gazed at the exact same sites and buildings that he would have some 70 years earlier. He passed on 26NOV19 at age 98 - and - I have missed him every hour since! And that is just one reason why London will always be special to me! Thanks again Hannah - this one was very much appreciated!
Thanks for sharing this story. It's wonderful to think how our families experienced the city x
❤️
"Not everyone can be happy, surely not..." 🤣I laughed out loud 🔊
Thank you for this vlog Hannah ❤️
Love the warnings on scammers, thank you Hannah. My last business trip to London was 2000 stayed for 3 months never experienced scams pickpockets. Will go back next yr, will keep this in mind
Hi Hannah! I am coming to London for the 4th time this August and I feel so much better equipped for my visit since I became a fan of your vlog. I always take a flat in Chelsea, as close to the Tube as possible, and then venture out from there. My "to-do" list has really expanded thanks to your walks - and your grocery-shopping vlogs are really going to help me out as well. Thanks for taking me along!
I hope to go next Aug with my sister will check out that area for us to stay in. Its been 27 years since I have been to London. Excited for you.
@@rhondalockrey9592 I really like the Chelsea area, particularly around Kings Road which has one or two of every store you might need. I hope you and your sister can make the trip - I'm always happy in London and I'm sure the two of you would have a terrific time!
have a great visit!!
You hit 60K!!!! Well done. Love the music - very reminiscent of50/60s promotional films. Loved the walk you took in this video.
Hi Hannah, I am John. With Glenn I have been watching you & other special bloggers all through the Covid & the lockdowns. Shows like yours have kept us sane, Thank you.Hannah
I lived in West Kensington for many years in the sixties up to emigrating to Australia in 71 & I used to spend my time selling, sunglasses, high class Danish cosmetic bags , Capucci Perfume & Aqua Di Selva (I am still using it) to high classes pharmacies in the West End. So I used to spend a lot of time trawling those amazing streets & by ways...... Hannah , I havent been to London since 2000 & would love, if you could find the time , for you to explore the streets , lanes, theatres & pubs off & around , Lower Charing Cross rd, (movie . 1987, 84, Charing Cross rd, Ann Bancroft & Anthony Hopkins ) St Martins lane. In particular the little 2nd hand book shops . not forgetting , The Salisbury pub (historic I know , but Maggie Smith in 1972 "Travels with My Aunt " lived in the apartment above. I occasionally used to drink there lunchtimes & it being their meeting place I often saw jobbing actors .
Wonderful.. Hope you will consider my request as I expect you have many ex pats & future US
tourists looking in. who would be interested in this area of the West End.
Hannah, as always, nicely done. You sound great btw. Yea, Big Ben looks brand new. It really compliments what London is all about. I'm a real fan of that gothic architecture. Hopefully 200 years from now, they'll still be there. Keep up the good work. I'll be watching. Your friend Mike.
Feel as though I’ve been on a lovely relaxing walk. Great vlog- thank you.
I love your videos.
I remember when the bridge was put in and it was swaying and they had to stabilize it. I love the walk from St. Paul’s to the Museum on the other side. I also took a boat on the Thames to Greenwich for lunch one day, which was interesting to see all of the developments that have occurred and how built up it is. When on that side of the River I also went to the Garden Museum for tea and a sweet. I found that very interesting too. I have only been in that area to visit a couple of times, because find the vastness overwhelming. Thank you for taking me there again.
That was a wonderful tour! You’re so knowledgeable about London. I enjoyed this very much♥️
Little late to the party, here, but I'm coming over for the first time this December and plan on hitting up the Christmas festivals on South Bank and in Hyde Park, plus to see all the lights..
Hopefully you'll already have some pre-Xmas vids up before I get there so I'll know what to look for.
Much Love from the States, Hannah! 💖
Big Ben is such an icon, also Elizabeth Tower. It makes me miss London so much. I love your vlogs even though they make me miss London so much. Loved your new blouse
I'm not even a tourist ,I live in london lol but I always love going into the city its great and this video was really entertaining!!
Your humour and honesty is refreshing. I am glad the pigeon didn’t “shat” on you! 🇨🇦
Mmm fish and chips. The renovated Big Ben face looks amazing, I never took much notice of it before but I must say they did a stunning job.
Thank you so much. Love this walk. And I’m so glad your better. Do you know you get more beautiful every video. Must be the sunny weather. Ha
I saw A Mid Summer Night’s Dream at the Globe replica. It was an excellent production. Seeing a play by Shakespeare in a theater that replicates how the people saw it when he was alive was pure magic for me.
wow that sounds amazing!
I had a tour of Parliament back in the 80s. (Showing my age) At the time, if you were a youth group your MP would usually give you a tour. We were taken around by our MP and afterwards he brought us all a drink in the House of Commons bar (on expenses!). Our MP was future Prime Minister John Major!. Glad to hear you're feeling better.
Now that was a wonderfull walk around , living in ireland, i havent been back around that part of my home territory for a long time !! God i miss London. Thanks Hannah👍👍
Thanks, Hannah. Heart of London during Queen’s Jubilee is great. City is scrubbed up and ready for the world to watch.👑😊👋🏼💕
Hello lovely Hannah another smashing video 😊 love the comments “not everyone could be happy surely not “😂 😆
Another wonderful vlog, this one filled with good advice, some history and movie trivia and of course great video content ! Glad to know you are doing better and looking fabulous! We were on the same page when I heard the New York song and was waiting for the singer to change it to 'old London town' but oh well. I did tour the Parliament in 2017 and I really enjoyed and learned quite a lot about the history and how it all works. Loved seeing where the house of commons and house of lords would debate/discuss. My favorite is walking around inside Westminster Hall ! Hannah you should go tour St. Paul's and especially climb the stairs to the top for some amazing views. Managed to get some terrific video even with the windy conditions. You asked if one would like to live near the River? In December I booked a hotel with a view of the River so looking forward to that. In May we were a stone's throw from the river/Queens walk (my fav area) as well. See ya next time !
Enjoyed that. As for Elizabeth tower/Big ben , cost of restoration. Around 30 years back I was in India , a place called Bhim Tal (Tal is lake) . A local spotted me reading an English language newspaper. Up he came with 2 photos, "Big Ben" he said , the second "Buckingham Palace"Very good places Sir! Himalayan rural India. The money to restore has to be worth it. I was in a part of the world where chalk and slate is still used in Schools , yet London buildings are recognised. As for the suspension bridge, it will wobble, it is meant to . Happy days. Here's to the next :-)
I’m catching up on some thumbs up - and in no time flat you’re at 169k subscribers and over 1000 comments on your videos!! So amazing and well deserved!
📷📸👍 Had never seen the arches - Cheers
Eventually got round to watching and enjoying this @Hannahlricketts glad you’re feeling better and looking lovely 🥰 as always. 🙏
Thank you so much 🤗
I think London is a very beautiful city❗️🇬🇧
Amazing tour in south Bank my favorite place thanks for sharing keep it up 👍
oh it was a nice walk! reminded me of my first day in London (September 2, 2015) ... Every corner of this city is so different - that's why I love it so much ! thank you Hannah !! ! * and yes, I would also like to live on the river (in a luxury apartment 😂)
i am appricicted your vlog.i lived at London. it remind of great experience.😉i enjoyed to seeing lovely atmosphere of building popular tourist spot at London with nice song.⚓.which place do you most in London?
.
I didn't know you could use your oyster card on the boats! I've never done it and that would be a lovely way to see the city.
Uber/ Thames clipper boats!
Hannah! First of all i have to say you haven't aged at all!!!
Who are these tactless people commenting on your looks?! They need glasses! The vlog was amazing. Loved your walk along the south bank. Nice to see people out and about enjoying the city. Thank you for taking us along.
Thank you for taking me home on a sunny day Hannah
Hello from San Diego, Ms. Hannah👋 of course (with the high fuel and commodities prices making it difficult for me to travel at this time), thank you once again for taking me along to another wonderful tour of your beautiful country from my comfy couch. 😊
Hi from Rhodes, Greece. I don't usually comment but I wanted to congratulate you on getting 60,000 subscribers.You do a great job with your videos. Thank you so much for being so truthful and amazing !
I would love to live in your country one day. That's my dream. Hugs and kisses from the small island of Rhodes 💋
Thanks so much!!
I used to live on the river on the north west side of the Isle of Dogs by Canary Wharf. This was around 20 years ago. I had a nice big terrace looking west down the river from 4 floors up. It was a lovely location and a great view at all times of the day or night. The down sides were the party boats until the early hours, and the occasional mass insect invasion e,g. aphids. But I don't regret it. At that time of my life, no children, no plans for a family, it was an excellent place to live. And a 5 minute walk to work which is very rare in London !
I LOVE LONDON ! LOVE YOU HANNAH 😘
Hannah, this was a fun and interesting walk along the Thames River. You are great company! Years ago, a couple of my band mates and I were checking out the acoustics in St Paul's whispering gallery. It was a grey and dreary day. Out of the blue man came along and invited us to go up into the cupola. I accepted and went up as high as possible. There is a staircase that winds around between the timbers holding up the domed ceiling and the roof. I'm so glad, Hannah, you are feeling better. What a beautiful day! Take good care, Love.
oh wow that's amazing!!
Hi Hannah, thanks for taking us along on this vlog. I love watching different people on their channels giving us different perspectives on London. I've never seen the skate park before and the "book store" was also a new one for me. That's what I mean by seeing the different perspectives each of the vloggers bring. Thanks for the tip on the scammers on the bridge. Always good to know. I must say as soon the vlog started I already noticed your shirt. It looks lovely and the pink really suits you. I don't know if you've ever done a vlog on Borough Market? I would love if you a vlog on it. Show us all the yummy food and what is available and what it is like. Keep well and sending warm regards from South Africa.
I love this kind of video just strolling along London with my friend Hannah lol. Thanks for showing us prices of things & your helpful tips. Appreciate all the time you put into making you videos. So many of us watching you are planning trips & you help us so much.
Great vlog Hannah and it amazing to see London with all the masonry cleaned up. It's like a brand new city! You picked a perfect day for your walk and the South Bank is overlooked as a must see in London.💗
Thank you Hannah!🎉 Definitely subscribed and really enjoying the broadcasts!💯👏👏👏
This was a fun video, Hannah! I laughed out load at the Wish Mickey 😂. Thanks for doing what you do.
Yay glad to hear you are better 🙌Big Ben looks So beautiful now 😍
@Falcom Scott hi Falcom fancy seeing you here 😊
I am so glad I came across your channel Hannah :) Me and my husband are going to London at the end of August for two days and we have a couple of things we want to do - definitely go to Harrords after seeing videos of yours, we have never been and we want to look around the food hall, it looks amazing! But we will definitely avoid the bridge with the scammers on, that's so bad of them, but they know tourists will fall for it unfortunately! Have you been to Spitalfields market? We went to Borough Market back in April which we really enjoyed, but we want to find more food markets/places to explore! xx
market vlogs soon!
How lovely to see the big Ben without scaffolding 🌹❤️. You look great Hannah as always
Fantastic tour of London and abit of comedy thrown in as well loving the channel x
Hi Hannah, wonderful vlog! I always love to hear your advice on what to watch out for! This walk was really very lovely, it felt like we were right there with you! I absolutely love the architecture, UK has always been my #1 place to visit! Always look forward to your videos. Glad you're feeling better. Thank you so much for sharing, take really good care of yourself, stay well! Have a wonderful weekend! Lots of love Kathy x 💖 Canada
thank you Kathy!xx
Thanks for your vlogs. I enjoy watching. Happy days.
“Feed the birds, tuppence a bag” In NY when the traffic stops on a bridge the cars bounce. Scary but bridges are built to sway or give. 80m seems reasonable for BB reno esp since NY recently opened a subway staircase (tiled of course) that cost 50m. Say what? 🤔Thanks for taking us on your walk.
Hi Hanna, it is nice to see how much you love your city, make me wish to visit London! I also appreciate your sense for beauty and beautiful things, arhitecture for exemple. I wish you good weather and summer break.
Thank for this vlog! I was in the mililenium bridge in 22 ago! Lol Amazing! I miss London! Tks a lot!
Big Ben looks so small in real life. That surprised me the most when I was in London.
Glad to see most of the scaffolding has been removed. It looks magnificent. The blue clock face looks so much better than the black. You should take the Uber boat west towards Battersea Power station. There are some amazing restaurants and bars there including a Gordon Ramsay bottomless pizza place for £15 all you can eat. It's lovely sitting outside one of the restaurants and bars on a glorious sunny day like this overlooking the river and watching the world go by.
Yes I've been to the pizza place. Before my blogging days though
Skyfall is my favorite bar in Las Vegas...
Think your filming is just fine. Thankyou. Also for the info about the street scams
Hi Hannah, I’m watching from all the way in New Zealand. Love these vlogs I feel like it’s nice to see a tour of London from someone who actually lives in London. I’ve never been to Europe but will be using your suggestions when I eventually come.
Very enjoyable
Thank you
🛍👟🕶☕️🍰
Glad you are feeling better and love seeing the Big Ben and all of the spots you showed
Thanks for uploading this. I went to all these places when I visited London last year. Thanks for taking me back
Had dinner once at the House of Lords - think it was a private dinning room - it was an experience. Good to see the tourists back in our city and good advise re the scammers.
Lovely walk - thank you Hannah
Really nice vlog. Great information for tourists. Unbelievable how busy it is now. Concrete buildings compared to the stunning buildings you’ve shared. I prefer non concrete. You’re such a beautiful woman,
Thanks again for the tag along enjoyed it!
Wonderful vlog. I’m glad you are feeling better and your outfit looked beautiful! I felt so happy to see crowds once more and happy memories of walking around Southbank (pre Covid) came back. Thanks again for brightening my Saturday- from Australia 🇦🇺 ☺️☕️✨
I really enjoyed the tour. I love walking along the Thames!
A very pleasant stroll along the Thames. If you are St. Pauls again, try to visit Postman's Park in King Edwards Street.
My nearest tube station when I lived in London was Westminster.
I love Portcullis House, but realise some people don't.
You may possibly mean Lambeth Palace next to St Thomas' Hospital?
I have been indide Houses of Parliament but you're absolutely correct the politicians aren't there all that often. You may find them across the road 😊
People go mudlarking by the Thames. Also some amazing sand sculptures there some days.
Do go to the Globe. Had a great visit there one day when they were rehearsing. I think in a sense more fun than seeing the play 🎭
Thanks for the fun walk.
Have you taken us to Greenwich?
Oh those etched railings with landmarks were visible when I was there so I'm thinking one has weathered as you suggested.
How Charming to See The Skate Park… I am wondering if that is where Logistics, 2,999 Video Shoot was filmed!?! Reminiscent!!!!
Dear, ma'am, that was a great vlogs of London.
Wow that really beautiful
~Loved this Vlog Hannah! I always enjoy the places you go and your filming style. Thank you for taking us along. Your skin looks great btw. Sometimes I just don’t want to wear foundation when it’s hot. LM products are so good. The Zara top is beautiful! Continued Blessings and Support. ~Love&Light♥️Carli
Thanks for the tips!!! I love your channel. Also, we ALL age. You’re beautiful inside and out. Keep doing your thing.
all your videos are great but this one on a sunny day and all the places you visited is one of the best especially seeing Big Ben restored 😍
"Surely not everyone's happy" 😆
I love your vlogs.
Many thanks Hannah. Another excellent video.
Very enjoyable. Brings back many memories of just wandering around The Thames.🌸🇦🇺
Love your videos, and also must say that you look very stylish !!
Lovley to see you again( Hope you feeling much Beter ) wow Big Ben finally finished sure looks much beter
Sure was Busy. The gorgeous weather Bringing everyone outside 😊
Wonderful video. Thank you for taking us along , have a Good week 🥰
I really enjoyed that experience xxxx
Wooohooo 60,000 subs ! Congratulations 🎉👏👏👏👏👏😊🇳🇿- and thanks for showing me around.
Thank you!!
Loved your walk. It was one of my favorite walks in London. Was there a little over a month ago. My daughter and her family are en route there, right now! I encouraged them to take this walk. It's fun to go through and look at our hometown with new eyes.
So beautiful ☀️🎉 thank you for this gorgeous video!! Greetings from Austria 🙋♀️
Nice vlog. Thanks for the extra tourist tips! Always enjoy going on a walk with you.
Hannah, thank you so much for the video. Great advice.
Lambeth Palace maybe was the building you were wondering what it was ? Or it could also be the old St Thomas's Hospital building on Lambeth Palace Road, depending what you were pointing to. I used to live in a block of flats directly behind St. Thomas's Hospital. You can see my old Flat, Stangate, at 7.30 to 7.46 peeping behind the Hospital ! My Childhood home 😍 the South Bank and St James's Park were my playgrounds.
Thanks Hannah for showing us around London a bit a bit and it's great to see to tourists out and about and hopefully no more locked down....Have a fabulous weekend
Love from India, Calcutta 🙏🏻
I loved the shots from the movies you inserted and the music. This was so wonderful, I’m watching it again right now.
I loved that one hannah was along the South Bank myself not so long ago
I would love to live on the river
I like the tips about the scammers well done for that x
This is AWESOME as if I were there in London with you 😊Thank you!
Lovely walk hanna we did some off this walk on Thursday remember some off the places you pointed out we are tourist in London for couple days wed to Friday lovely city I keep watching your videos there great 👍 think you
Walk back on the north side
Some cool sights like the obelisk and battle of Britain monument
