Lol I went for the first time in March solo and I also binged this channel. If you need a green space break, I took pics with the guards on horses and walked through the archway. Across from the pebble area is at James Park and there's a place called duck Island! So nice and so many birds. The path leads to Buckingham Palace. It's parallel to the Mall but in a meandering way
The Parkland Walk is worth doing. It’s the longest linear nature reserve in London (4km). It goes from near Finsbury Park tube station to near Highgate station, and then on to Alexandra Palace. It follows an old railway line, and you pass through several abandoned stations on the way.
I'm looking forward to going to London soon here & taking advantage of the great things to do in a city that has 32 boroughs, which is so cool! ❤️💂♂️🇬🇧
One place I will always rant and rave about because it's mostly free is my favourite of the South Kensington museums, that is the Victoria and Albert museum. I can some times spend multiple days there because it is that good. And even during the high season you can still find amazingly quiet parts of it. And if you decide to get a membership there I recommend it since the paid for exhibitions are about £15-£25 a go. So say you do four exhibitions that membership fee has paid for itself and then some.
Hey there - do US citizens currently need anything other than a passport in good standing to visit London for a week? From my research, it appears they only need a passport but just making sure I'm not missing anything. The language surrounding ETAs is very confusing, even on the official UK government websites.
I'm a Londoner who has lived overseas for 20 years and is coming for a holiday in January! I just watched your short clip on not buying an Oyster card. How do you use the contact less debit/ credit card? Do you just go to the barriers and push the card again the button? How does it know what zones you want to go to or does it charge you once the day is over? Is this the best way if you are getting on and off tubes and buses etc. you just scan your debit card each time? Will a Wise card work the same? I am fully intending to make my family walk everywhere though haha.
It works exactly the same as if you used an Oyster. We talk about your options and how they work in this article: loveandlondon.com/how-to-pay-for-public-transport-in-london/
Question, Do many places take Google tap pay? Our debit card has high foreign transaction fees and I though about putting money into my Google pay account if possible before I left to have to use in London. So gladni fou d this channel, thanks for the amazing tips
I use Currensea. It’s a debit card that I use in any country. It pays in local currency then takes the money out of your bank in your own currency - at a lower business exchange rate than the usual banking rate. It’s brilliant.
Going to London next week for the first time and have been binging this channel for months. Huge thank you to everyone that works on this channel!
Same!!
@@lxslieg What are some places you’re planning to visit?
@@mosesdevadass6056 the Warner Bros., Harry Potter studio tour for sure and the sky garden we’re kind of just winging the rest of it. What about you?
It's wonderful. You will enjoy it. I will be there in July

Great! I like finding remnants of the Roman walls. Near Tower, Bridge, Tower station, and on the one side of the Barbican center.
Nice, thanks for watching!

Nope! As long as your passport isn't going to expire within 6 months and you're staying for that short of time, it shouldn't be an issue.
@@camselent6667I have read that the UK does not follow the 6 month rule. Your passport only has to be valid for the duration of your stay.
US citizen researching for our Sept. trip. So no, see nothing other than a passport to get in.
The State Dept will always be the best place to get this info, but generally no.
I love everthings in london
I love your accent ❤❤❤❤

Tap in to enter the station, tap out to leave the destination station. Tap to get one the bus, don't need to tap out.

Goddam this girl is beautiful. Her smile is amazing
❤hello from Newyork city pls need room for one person in london uk
Why don’t you recommend the free walking tours? We’ve taken them is several other cities and always been happy with them.
They are exploitative for the guides... they often have to pay the company for the "privilege" of getting to be the guide...
I want Jess back, I can’t get used to the new hosts
I love the new hosts! Jess is awesome too :)
Are you following Jess on Instagram or TikTok? @jessdante
