A cheaper way to use the Underground would be to get the Oyster card or use a contactless Visa or MasterCard or Apple Pay. The Oyster card costs £5 (refundable if you no longer plan to return to London for a long time) and the prices are lower (£3.10 off-peak for zones1-5 as opposed to the £5.90 paid by paper ticket).
You need more than a couple of days when you're in London everything seems overwhelming and confusing to tourists. But I do hope you enjoyed your short stay. Would be nice to see you are back again sometime thanks for coming to visit us in London❤😊
Oh, I love London! and I've been lucky enough to visit several times. Here I show the flight from Frankfurt but it's a very short flight from Coruña, where I live half the time. One of my best friends lives in Oxford so I gladlyyyyy go visit. Thank you for watching.
MuchoHop Yeah it was connecting from PHX-FRA on BA, so I was connecting from the Phoenix-London flight in Terminal 3 to the London-Frankfurt flight in T5 and vice versa.
I'm sure it is but I don't have enough frequent flyer miles to go in. For those who don't would have to pay to get in. Maybe one day I'll have enough miles! Thanks for watching and for your comment!!! XXX
The Piccadilly line is a nightmare! Did you use the Victoria or Central line on your holiday? Trains are every 1-2 minutes on those lines. Transport in London is expensive but can be quite fast, unfortunately, the one line that goes to the airport is the opposite of fast.
I've been to London a few times and on different lines. I think overall the tube is good. It is just very busy, many people use it, loads of tourists, as expected from a large city. Yes, the airport line took forever. If I had arrived 2 minutes before, I would have gotten the train right away and I would not have had such a long wait. I had just missed it! LOL. Thanks for watching my channel! xxx
Liked your video. I have ten hours in transit in November and decided to go to the British Museum for three. I was just wondering if there is a direct line from heathrow terminal 5 to Russel square subway station or do I have to change at terminal 2/3.
Piccadilly Line can take a whole weekend to get from start the destination at times :) At least you didn't bother with the Heathrow Express. That's criminally overpriced.
Yeah, transportation is not cheap in London. And like in many big cities, things can go wrong and take forever to get to your destination. I didn't think it was so bad. It was just bad timing. If I had gotten there 5 minutes before, perhaps I would have gotten the train right away. I took this line because my hotel was right by Russel Square. Thanks for your comment and for watching my channel! xxx
Terminal 5 is vast. It's a magnificent piece of modern architecture - one of the very few things at which Britain is vaguely competent. Gate B44 indicates satellite terminal 5(B). Take a look at Google maps here: www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.4711134,-0.4813614,778m/data=!3m1!1e3 It gives some idea to the actual real scale of the place. Thanks for the travelogue. I hope you enjoyed your visit to Britain. If you're planning to come back do it within the next two years. Once we've quit the EU I think things will be somewhat less pleasant. Moving about between Britain and mainland Europe will certainly be a lot harder. Best wishes.
Thank you for the explanation and that great aerial view of Terminal 5 and its satellite buildings. You know, honestly, I just follow the signs and go to where I have to go. Sometimes I don't even notice these things. Thanks! I love going to Britain. I've been there several times and most likely will go back. My husband and I sail occasionally in Hamble and I have two very close friends in Oxford and in Cornwall. Once UK quits the EU, things will be a little more complicated but not much more. I'll just have to travel with my passport. No big deal. I go through these difficulties when I travel to the US, so I suppose it will be similar. Thanks for your kind message and best wishes. I look forward to my next trip to the UK!! Thanks for watching my channel! xxx
Excellent. Oxford is just along the road from us here. We spend a lot of time in and out of the John Radcliffe Hospital as my wife has a fairly impactive neurological condition. It's a very compact city which doesn't cope well with modern traffic. Cornwall an amazing county. We spent our honeymoon there in 1995. It has an aura of magical Celtic folklore about it. Until you get to peak holiday season and it adopts an aura of litter dropping visiting Brits who are incapable of operating a litter bin.
I am flying from Berlin to AMS (3 days stay) from AMS to CPH (3 days stay). From CPH to London (Heathrow) (3 day stay) and back to Berlin. Which budget airline fits this? Thanks
Oooohh, I'm not really sure if there is one low-cost airline that would do this. Although they do go to all the cities you mention, they won't necessarily have connections from city 1 to city 2. For ex, Ryanair n Easyjet don't go to AMS from Berlin. Check Kayak.com they have several options that could interest you. You can do your search for multiple flights and multiple airlines. I always start at this website when I look for flights. Good luck and enjoy that great trip you have planned! Coool!!! xxx
Ya, that's the issue. I do plan to accommodate one more trip from Dublin to London. Many of the websities do not have the connection between the cities I am planning to go and would cost more to go to the specific airport I am looking for. E.g. Schoenofeld airport in Berlin is cheaper than Tegel airport but I want to fly from Tegel to Schiphol.Easyjet and edream.com and Ryanair are good budget airlines. I'll try to find the best deal and airport. Thanks for the reply and I can't wait to be back in London! ;-)
Also consider other means of transportation when possible. There are buses and trains Berlin - Amsterdam. You really have to research and compare prices and time. Google maps and the app Rome 2 Rio give you all the different options from city to city. Sometimes I don't mind paying a little more for a train. They normally leave you right in the city center and you don't have to go through all the hassles of airports.
MuchoHop Tip trains dosen't exactly go to heathrow 2 trains acctually 1 train to heathrow terminals 123&5 1 train to 4&123 you might know this already im just saying
MuchoHop Hey no mention! Anything for my travel community! This vlog brings back memories for the years I lived as an undergrad in London. It is a cool city and I can't wait to go back this December! Yeah!
I lived in NYC for 30 years as a permanent resident. My parents were Americans and half of my family too. I was born in Spain so I have an EU passport. I am a citizen of the world, LOL!
For years, when I visit places instead of buying useless souvenirs I buy a ring that will remind me of the place I visited. I have quite a collection. I love rings and they don't take up much space in the suitcase. I wasn't particularly tired in this video but indeed I am not a morning person. xxx
Why are you always so stressed out and nervous about something so easy and so enjoyable as navigating through an airport?? You act as if it's this big mysterious maze that you somehow have to find your way through! What could be easier than going through today's well-marked and properly signed international airports? For me, big international airports like Heathrow, Frankfurt, Istanbul, and Dubai are the most exciting places in the world and I could just move into one of those airports anytime and live in there forever! RELAX, good grief!
I don't thing she's stressed,I just think this is how she communicates to her audience, she seems quite sweet and I like how well she explains everything.

That is so funny! Great! Keep watching hahahahah. Thanks so dearly for your comment!!!
Thank you😻

I've only been to Heathrow twice, and overall it was a good experience. Switching terminals was bad though
I'm going to Heathrow very very soon. I will surely film there. Unfortunately, I won't be changing terminals. Thanks for watching my channel!!!
MuchoHop Yeah it was connecting from PHX-FRA on BA, so I was connecting from the Phoenix-London flight in Terminal 3 to the London-Frankfurt flight in T5 and vice versa.
The Business Lounge to stay there, is very nice place, just to unwind you and get fresh up too.
I'm sure it is but I don't have enough frequent flyer miles to go in. For those who don't would have to pay to get in. Maybe one day I'll have enough miles! Thanks for watching and for your comment!!! XXX
Love your choice of background music.
I Love London 🇬🇧🇬🇧

+bimo nagoro glad you liked it! Thanks

That's good, isn't it! Thanks for watching my channel! xxx
When I go to London, it is usually 5 mins waiting time max! Thanks for the info though.
Thanks.
Thank YOU for watching my channel!!! xxx
I take the underground to school and everywhere it’s super useful
I think the London underground is super cool! It's the best and fastest way to get around. Thanks for watching my channel!
Great Vid...
+Gabriel Miguel thanks for watching! Glad you liked it!

Maria B It’s not called a “subway” station
I like your videos!!
What was the music at 12:45?
congrats joel
Nice video
Good travel videau clip
Could you by any chance visit Toronto?... Pearson International airport is beautiful👍😀
You've been waiting at Russel Square station for over 20 mins
yes, the train took forever. It might have been a weekend.
Piccadilly Line can take a whole weekend to get from start the destination at times :) At least you didn't bother with the Heathrow Express. That's criminally overpriced.

train comes at 5:22
Yes, good point to make if people want to go directly to that part. Thanks for the tip! And thanks for watching my channel! xxx
MuchoHop no problem i watched the whole video and that's fine thanks for the support
MuchoHop Tip trains dosen't exactly go to heathrow 2 trains acctually 1 train to heathrow terminals 123&5 1 train to 4&123 you might know this already im just saying
yes, I show this in the video. Thanks again!
Do you travel a lot for business or tourism?
Why does the entrance of underground read "no entry"?
That's because technically speaking it's supposed to be a exit only, however this isn't generally enforced.
Yes it's a huge airport and that's just one Terminal 5.
Yes!! Huge airport!
Single ticket price is much higher price than using the Oyster card.
yes, I learned that later on and shared it with my viewers in a subsequent video. Thanks for the tip!!
thanks for the information. Are you an elementary school teacher? BTW
hahahahha, how did you guess? I'm a biochemist but I have taught on the side for many years. Thanks for watching my channel!!!
wHAT DOES BTW STAND FOR?
BTW is "By The Way"
Muchohop just asking , but do you live in Frankfurt
I live about 40 minutes from Frankfurt. Not too far.
Going to heathrow on the tube is a bloody pain
Heathrow Express from Paddington would have taken 20 min non stop
That sounds good! Thanks for the tip and for watching my channel.
Hey you are American or German?
How did you keep replying?
ditto, what I said before. People write to me, I respond. Great chance to get to know my Hoppers! xxx
Heathrow is daunting.
there all british airways at terminal 5
You could get an oyster card. It is much cheaper
Yes, another Hopper said the same. Next time in London I will get an Oyster Card. Thanks for the info and watching my channel! xxx
MuchoHop Hey no mention! Anything for my travel community! This vlog brings back memories for the years I lived as an undergrad in London. It is a cool city and I can't wait to go back this December! Yeah!
I thought you're an American but you're holding a EU passport. I reckon you're a dual citizen. ;-)
I lived in NYC for 30 years as a permanent resident. My parents were Americans and half of my family too. I was born in Spain so I have an EU passport. I am a citizen of the world, LOL!
americans or spaniards
i liked the koala bag
As a Londoner, the tube part hurt me
Educate us!!!!! That is what we are here for.
Getting an oyster card from the beginning of your journey would've been cheaper and more efficient
Yes, I have my Oyster card thanks to the London Hoppers watching my early videos. Thank you!!
What is a travel ring? You look very tired. I hate morning flights
For years, when I visit places instead of buying useless souvenirs I buy a ring that will remind me of the place I visited. I have quite a collection. I love rings and they don't take up much space in the suitcase. I wasn't particularly tired in this video but indeed I am not a morning person. xxx
ahhh. great idea. Something small and lasting
