Kingston is so under represented. Love it. When you explore the outer greater London Boroughs , you realise how huge and how diverse and varied London is. Each area is so different and we have lovely rural areas too !!!!
The big birds in St. James Park. They are descendents of Pelicans given to King Charles II in 1664 by a Russian diplomat. That canal is the River Thames. As it is tidal there you were at the coast.
I often walk through St James's Park just to look at the 35+ pelicans. By the way, she 'thought' that their wings had been clipped, not so, they are free to fly, but stay as they get regular feeds and like to 'stick' together etc. Although (and I don't know if it still does?), one used to regularly fly to London Zoo for 'extra' fish... but that was in the news a few years ago now, so it might not even be still around; as I have no idea how long they live for? But you are spot on with their history and date.
@@MagentaOtterTravels - They are great to view 'close-up' LOL! My father often recited this when I was a kid and it stuck in my mind: What a wonderful bird is the pelican... It's beak can hold more than it's belly can! It can hold in it's beak, enough food for the week And I don't know how the hell-he-can?😀
@@stewedfishproductions7959 that is a very funny verse, I haven’t heard that one before! Years ago when I went to the park for the first time, the pelicans were out, and I got some fun photos of my husband posing with them.

It’s frustrating, because I’m usually taking visitors to see the park and I really want to show them the pelicans! Cheers! Dara
Gosh this is the first time I have watched one of these Americans visit UK videos where you are visiting my home town so Yay. It's great to see my area through the eyes of Americans visiting.
Lovely to see around my old childhood home. I use to get the bus into Kingston everyday for work, but what should’ve been a 20 minute journey took an hour and half in the rush hour so I can’t say I miss that lol. Im so old I was a teenager before mobile phones and me and my friends use to arrange to meet up at the weekend by the red telephones ❤😊
Shame you missed Brompton Cemetery, a short walk away from Fulham Broadway, it features in a lot of movies and TV shows, beautiful marred only by the monstrosity that is Chelsea Stadium
My dad had a religious experience after getting a Mars bar in a London corner store; He grew up in Tulsa, and they had not been sold in America since he was a child (he’s 55 now). Sometimes its the little things haha
London is one of a kind isn't it - completely different to the rest of England. One of the most impressive cities in the world, if not the most impressive in the world. It's just aesthetically spectacular everywhere you look!

Not once, not ONCE have I ever heard a US American pronounce Buckingham or Birmingham properly. I don't understand why there friends don't correct them. Lovely video by the way.
In Kingston Square they used to play an early version of football(soccer). The teams were about 50 men a side and involved a lot of rough behaviour including fist fights.
I was at Kington University when those fallen telephone boxes were installed. It is a shame to see the state of them today. The damage and the graffitti is a real shame.
I enjoyed your video! As a Canadian visiting London last spring, I also had fun experiencing the meal deal at Sainsbury’s and shopping at Primark. Love the British sweets, too. Did you try Jammie Dodgers or a Curly Wurly?
I love watching your experiences in England and if any one visiting from America /Canada . And if you Visit Liverpool please jump on the ferry across the Mersey (as the song sings) come visit The Wirral its home to the 1st Park mother of Central Park in New York... Thanks to Mr Joseph Paxton.
Roast dinners don't have to be exclusively beef. Any red meat or chicken or turkey qualify. It's a damn shame she has still not experienced a proper roast dinner!
Oh yeah a real Sunday roast dinner... And fish and chips shops very different from South to the North of England... Oh and good ol cup of tea. 😁. I would even cook the roast dinner lol
The first part brought back memories as I spent more than half my life in that area, with many journeys on the 285 bus to Kingston. Sad that graffiti has covered those telephone boxes. I used to eat at an Italian restaurant just beside them and they stayed clean for many years. I would comment that they were in Greater London much of the time, so from there they went into London proper (by train, no trams in most of London).
oh guys, that roast dinner looked gross, you want proper yorkshire pudding filled with gravy and roast beef or lamb with some mash potato and veg of choice on the side, next time if you try a sunday roast dinner in a pub you will see and taste the difference.
I didn't see a single Tram, mostly because there are no Trams in London. There are, however, many many Trains As for a Real Roast Dinner, the boyfriend did ok for an amature, but far better to go to a Pub or Restaurant to experience the Real Thing. I like to visit Carvery suppliers.
Exactly! Everywhere featured in this video except the airport was in London. Hampton, Bushy Park, Hampton Court Palace, Kingston, Fulham and Chelsea are all in London.
Interesting video, that was a train not a tram, a separate and different system, in American English a tram is called street car, the tram system is only in south London serving Wimbledon/Croydon/New Addington,
My wife Sara-Jayne the Everton USA Chairwoman 2009...She Buggered off to Arsenal to see her Arsenal America mates...Came back up North and Buggered off to Sunderland or Durham ffs...
Nice video. Large birds were Pelicans. Don't know what they're doing there though. Usually not seen outside a Zoo in the UK. Not native to this country but native to parts of the US.
Modern pelicans are found on all continents except Antarctica. They primarily inhabit warm regions, although breeding ranges extend to latitudes of 45° South (Australian pelicans in Tasmania) and 60° North (American white pelicans in western Canada).[4] Birds of inland and coastal waters, they are absent from polar regions, the deep ocean, oceanic islands (except the Galapagos), and inland South America, as well as from the eastern coast of South America from the mouth of the Amazon River southwards.[15] Subfossil bones have been recovered from as far south as New Zealand's South Island,[57] although their scarcity and isolated occurrence suggests that these remains may have merely been vagrants from Australia (much as is the case today).[58]
Just so that everyone knows, London is actually a quasi- European region of Britain in the south with better climes, opportunity, and a more positive outlook, surrounded by northern towns of poverty, hardship, rain and lack of sunlight.
40% of London was born abroad. Much of the rest have parents or grandparents who were born abroad. I wouldn't be travelling to London for the "English experience" if I were you.
@@davidhookway514 I visit London as well. But it is abit like visiting Pompei. One can admire the architecture and see the bare bones of an interesting people but as a lived culture it is not English in any meaningful sense. I'm not trying to offend anyone of course. I think I am just stating a fact. Most of the ethnically English people you meet in London will have a political and cultural pursuation that is rather hostile to the society of their grandparents. There is very little identification or continuity with what came before. National history is seen as inherently suspect, something that must give way to metropolitan ideas of global citizenship. While I like visiting certain cultural sights I find most Western European cities deeply alienating.
7:03 🤣I am not British but I like them🤭. But honestly, do you think it's a good idea to try British food? It looks like if somebody has already eaten it before.😵💫
Dear Tay. That wasn’t a canal, it was the Thames. They weren’t trams, they were trains. They weren’t giant birds, they were Pelicans. Other than that just fine.
You would have thought that Americans, even those who've never ventured outside their country, (which doesn't apply in this case) would be able to distinguish between a tram and a train.

Worst example of a roast dinner I’ve ever seen
That Roast Dinner 😲 You Really need to try a Proper One!
I think the person that did the Roast is a Vegetarian.
I really hope it tasted better than it looked. Yeuk!
@@davidhookway514 I'm sure there are exceptions, but I've never met a vegetarian who could cook well.
I was thinking, "where's the roast? The main part of the meal? The bit of the dinner that gives it it's name...?". lol :)
Seriously that roast dinner looked terrible, you can get a much better one trust me.. looked anemic, but fair play to the fella for making it
Some friend she is, taking you to a Weatherspoons.
The food in those places is diabolical.
It’s 95% microwave food.
5:23 - "we walked past this canal" - thats the Thames luv
That "canal" is the River Thames, lol. :)
...and that 'tram' is actually a train. :)
Yorkshire pudding and veg is not a roast dinner.
Vegetarian Tossa obviously.☹️
Are you blind? It has roast chicken, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, stuffing and vegetables so it qualifies as a roast dinner.
No, that was a grim roast 😟
