I could tell straight away that they were at weatherspoons with those plates 😂
Ikr
same hahaha
Don't think so, I'm pretty sure it was Wetherspoons
the building was rebuilt in 1667 because it was probably destroyed in The Great fire of London in 1666
London pigeons are they type of pigeons that will stab you and rob your phone.
no, those are seagulls
Pigeons and ducks that will stab you
I was laughing for like 10 minutes straight because I kept saying the joke over and over again making me die again and again
GRIMALDI 420 You’ve never met a scouse seagull
@@Nitro-rx4og you forgot the geese and swans
@05:30 "You think we should run through the pigeons!?"....
None fly off.
London pigeons don't give AF.
A Flying F even.
I was eying the swan that was preparing to counterattack,
Yea the pigeons here are Gangster and you should not mess with them.
Lol
GRIMALDI 420 definitely. I was hit in the face by a pigeon.
The UK weather is the best in the world. Its mild for majority of the year, never too hot for long periods, never rains for long periods, never snows for long periods and never do we get cremated by the sun or get swept under a hoover of a tornado or get tossed aside in a giant hurricane, get gobbled up in a major earthquake or be smuthered in mud or take a giant Tsunami bath. Our weather by other country standards is boring but pleasant and I invite you to bask in all its gloriness.
We honestly LOVED our time in England SO much. We keep talking about wanting to go back and spend a longer amount of time there!
Plus, we're not awash with venomous spiders and snakes and general shit that wants to kill us.
Great to hear Guys.
As a 64 year old born and bred Londoner who has had a lifelong Adult hobby to see all of London in my lifetime I have to tell you that I will fail, miserably as it has over 100,000 " Official " Places Of Interest " lol
Having mild summers and mild winters is boring
Fuckin hell mate, well said.
On the Underground escalators, please stand on the right!
We learned this the hard way. Our first evening someone (not so kindly) pointed this out for us lol
TheJoshAndMelissa Us Londoners don’t seem to play around when it comes to stairs and escalators. Some of us are nice and some of us aren’t. You have the find the good ones in London haha x
Haha I was looking for this! Super triggered at around 2:40 :D
@@TheJoshAndMelissa The best advice is do some research about the country/city you're visiting. Learn the do's and don't and I'm sure you'll be fine. ))
Thing is there are signs on the london underground escalators
"It's really cold...like 65 degrees". Or a summer's day, as we call it...
Haha we know that really isn't cold, but we were coming from almost 100 degree weather so the change for our bodies felt bigger :)
@@TheJoshAndMelissa I'll bet it did. Being from the north east of England I find 65F pleasant, but then anything over 75F is uncomfortably warm to me. You should take a trip to the NE in winter sometime, go to Newcastle's Bigg Market on a Friday night and see the lads in their T shirts and lasses in their skimpy dresses in sub-zero temperatures.
You could also come in summer and see our castles, Durham castle (and the university and magnificent cathedral), Warkworth, Alnwick (where Harry Potter was filmed), Dunstanburgh, Bamburgh, Lindisfarne and many others, Northumberland has more castles than any other county in England (being of the border with Scotland), and Durham can't be far behind.
Can you give temperature on a scale that ALL the world uses rather than the one that only the U.S. uses ?!
@@hannecatton2179 Wow. Nothing like google search can't fix.
@@hannecatton2179 Yes I can, but as a matter of courtesy I used the scale familiar to Josh and Melissa.
*Hope you had fun here Greetings from England🇬🇧🏴*
London pigeons have seen it all over the years, they’re tough and don’t like to be bothered. I like the way only the ones in direct threat of being stepped on moved,the rest just stood firm.
Haha they were so funny! They could honestly care less about the annoying man running around :)
You were lucky the Canada geese didn't just bite you!
Seagulls in South Shields would take you away for food.
lol
I love your enthusiasm for England; so cute! I've never been to those places. Glad you enjoyed you're visit to Britain 💖🇬🇧💖🇺🇸
If you think 65F (18c) is cold, wait a couple pf months.
Haha we are BABIES when it comes to the cold!
Yep it was 37f today
pmw650 honestly 18°c is boiling
18°C is cold!!??????
Pigeons- "U wot mate?"
I’m UK born and bred and live in London. But watching this, seeing others coming and experiencing the beauty of our amazing city and country, makes me so so proud and happy.
Sorry but french fries at a restaurant pub ?
you're in england.
chips chips chips chips chips chips chips chips chips chips
Different to fries, different to crisps, chips chips chips chips chips.
So when you go to another country , you know the exact words for everything right ? Lol sit down .
Ashante Hernández he’s right, those were chips.
@@CymruEmergencyResponder That's not my point . My point was , that he's criticizing them by not knowing the British term of a food. We Americans just say something different . When Brit's come over here , and explore ; they say different terms too , but we aren't criticizing them over it because they're from a different country .
Ashante Hernández mans annoyed by a joke about food in england
PhiZZ
He has that americans are aloud to make fun of british people but we’re not aloud to do it back mentally
London pigeons aren’t scared lol, nice vid 👍🇬🇧
Haha thank you!
Gota hope they dont convert to radical islam and become kamakazi/jihadi pidgeons with suicide breasts lol
Love that you're both so positive about everything, it put a big smile on my face. Happy travels! :)
Of all the travel video's like yours, going so make them the most fun, thanks for sharing your enthusiasm.
Awww 😂 I know this isn't a recent video anymore, but I've been itching to visit London (once travel restrictions ease up) and this video showed up in my recommendations.
I've been binge-ing travel vlogs lately, and yours has been my favorite! You seem just so excited to be there and visited so many spots that would make me geek out!
Great video! We visited London for the first time a little bit ago and watching your video showed there is so much more to see and do. It’s a massive city and we can’t wait to go back again. Congrats on 3K subscribers!!
A few fun facts about the UK
1. They are called chips in the UK not French fries
2. You have to be 18+ to drive a car
3. You probably already know this but, we drive on the opposite side of the road compared to America
4. Don't wear those clothes
5. Birds get their revenge
6. Don't say anything sucks in London
7. Barley anyone says cute in the UK in public. Because if you do you will be a obvious American and... that sometimes isn't good in London
donna cannon 17 to drive a car, but 16 to get a moped
@@randomstuff2438 oh ok
@Jay Reno I prefer dolphins.
@@jojo-fu4xh There are probably more muslims in the US. And what is the problem with muslims? Many of which were from the former British Raj and emigrated to Britain after decolonisation. The US can barely stop a Mexican entering their land despite Trumps big words.
16 to get a previsinal license so it's 16. Full one at 17 and moped you can drive a the age of 11 BOI BOI.
Your first food experience in the UK was at a weatherspoons??? And it was "soooo good" 😂 😂
You are basically British now.
It looks as if you had a real good time in London. It is always heartwarming to to residents from afar to enjoy the pleasure and differneces of London and your enthusiasm sure did display that. Where abouts were you staying and what differences did you find to that of LA, excepting the weather of course.
We LOVED our time in London. There are so many differences but also so many things that are similar. Maybe we should make a video on everything! We stayed in an Airbnb around the Surrey Quays area. Cute little spot but super close to everything we wanted to see!
@@TheJoshAndMelissa Really enjoy your videos it good to see your view of England i appreciate the country more watching others views on it ( im english). Keep up the travel vids all the best .....
Need to watch more of these ,they make my day xx
Thank you! :)
You went to some random places. Good on you for not going to the generic places. Funny to see you getting excited over a zebra crossing ( Abby rd) I was thinking “how sad are you” but then I remembered how excited I was when I saw a yellow taxi cab when I visited NYC and I got some strange looks from the locals. Us brits and yanks are just the same. 😂. Hope you enjoyed the trip and you’ll be back soon .
@cm. CG Probably not as many as you...
Glad you all enjoyed your trip to little old england . Next trip come see our beautiful countryside and historic towns and citys . And book all your train, plane , buses tickets months in advance for good value . Various sites useful.
this girl's facial expressions are like jim carrey's
Honestly, thank you. SUCH a big compliment.
Ikr
As soon as he ran for the flock of pigeons I was like dude they’re London pigeons 😂 they ain’t moving they own the city 😂
London pidgeons are hardcore, they don't take off for any mofo.
im very pleased for you guys to try he ride of the London underground tube trains across London as well for national rail services
very pleased that your friends are with you
London is an amazing city! I can’t wait to visit again!
❤️ from Maine!
Yes, the food you had was in spoons (literally everywhere in UK), its always cheap and always good!! :)
We LOVED the food here!
@@TheJoshAndMelissa she mean Weatherspoons lol Love your Video
Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese pub is NOT Wetherspoons; it's Samuel Smiths.
Weatherspoons for common chavs.
Amy Cooper-Smith
Oh Icarus, fly not so near the sun lest thy waxy wings should melt.
Sort your standards out mate, Wetherspoons is dogshit.
In Britain we call it a zebra crossing not a crosswalk, also very well done for getting off at St. John’s Wood and not just going to abbey road as a few people do
That made me laugh when he ran through the pigions. Especially, as it was shown in slow motion. That has made my day. Haha. 😂😂😂
I am from the UK, but not living there. I live overseas.
Haha so glad you liked it! :)
Great bunch of happy go lucky guys.......very enjoyable indeed
So glad you enjoyed. Thank you for the support! :)
For some reason I’m am so fascinated by foreign tourists reactions to London and the uk. But especially americans. ( I think it’s be cause I was born in America but my parents are british and moved back to the uk when I was 4, I’m now 26) so I watch a lot of Americans first time in the uk videos and more travelled americans giving advice to first timers. They always show the same things but I like the different ways people see it. But this was different. You should these small cute parts, the little things. And you were having fun with out being overly brash and American. And some Americans who make these videos seem so, for lack of a better word, ignorant. But you guys are not like that at all. Your still curious and enjoying all the differences but with out the “that’s not how America does it” condescension. You guys did good. I really just wanna be like the RUclipsr tour guide for American first timers to the UK. 😂 x
The slow-mo running through the pigeons made me laugh so much 😂
Challenge folks to watch your videos & not be happier & enthused to go places....love your videos.
From 7:25, the Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese was first built in 1538, then rebuilt following the Great Fire of London in 1666.
Thank you!
So excited for the extra videos!
Yay! So glad!
England has a lot of nice bookstores. There's a nice vintage one up north in Alnwick, Northumberland
Always fascinated watching Americans trying to use knives and forks, and failing. 😆
Barry Gower Genetically incapable of holding one in each hand at the same time.
We eat predominantly with the fork in our right hand and a knife in our left, but switch it up to cut meat or anything else like that into smaller portions then re switch the fork back into the right hand to eat. Don't know why, it's just what it is two different countries and all.....
foolish42088 Other way around for me 🤣 fork in left hand and knife in right hand lol
Thanks you guy's for the report on London England. BTW you are so lucky to be able to visit our fantastic country.
I'm *so* glad they made sure to point out they were visiting London, England, just in case I thought they'd gone to London, Ontario 🙄
Haha we were just so excited to be in England that we kept saying it :)
Hi, I'm standing by the River Thames in London, Ontario... no wait I'm in London, England... Hold on... I'm confused.... where am I? (Both Londons have a River Thames flowing through it.)
Phatnat: Don't forget there is a bay in Scotland named London and so wise of them to clarify. And don't forget the fact there is a London in France, which is not all that far away from England.
Lol
I'm glad you enjoyed your time in London . I hope you can come back and see more of my country soon . The rest of Britain is very different from London .
Hope you enjoyed being on the TOOBE!!!
I wish I could be as happy as these people! !!!!
Was kinda hoping the geese would go for him to be honest.
Nice video guys. Whats the make and model of the camera? It looks so clear.
1667? Quite recent then. We have many pubs here in Worcestershire established in the 15thC and one which was in the same family from 1215 to the Millenium. Now owned by the National Trust.
Wow! That is amazing! So crazy to think one family had lived there for so long!
So many of the city’s oldest pubs date to 1667 or thereabouts. In fact, Ye Olde Watling (29 Watling St, EC4) and Old Bell (95 Fleet St, EC4), both claim to be built by Wren himself, for the use of builders working at nearby churches. Another candidate for oldest pub, the Olde Cheshire Cheese (145 Fleet St, EC4), was built in 1667, but there was a pub here called the Horn in 1538 and the cellar dates to a thirteenth-century monastery: the church and pub entwined once more.
Away from the city there are further choice venues that ooze antiquity. Hampstead has a number of ancient pubs, including the recently revamped Spaniards Inn (Spaniards Rd, NW3), possibly the most myth-saturated pub in London. It was built in 1585 - although it didn’t become a pub for another 150 years - and Dick Turpin, John Keats, Charles Dickens, Robert Louis Stevenson, William Blake, Joshua Reynolds, John Constable, Mary Shelley, William Hogarth, Lord Byron, AE Houseman and Evelyn Waugh all have some association with the place. A pistol ball fired by notorious highwayman Turpin is framed above the bar. This is another way in which London’s pubs hold on to their history, celebrating the past through enthusiastic displays of local ephemera with a panache that few museums can match.
If we’re talking Worcs. then I’d say head to The Three Kings in Hanley Castle (just don’t ask for lager...), or The King Charles on The Shambles in Worcester itself (and sit upstairs)
There's a church near me that was built in 750ad that's about a thousand years older than the US
Is that The Fleece at Bretforton?
You guys are so funny! Lovely video hahahaha
It’s funny watching all the tourists on the Abby road can cross :D
1:55 My brain was so confused for a second when you said 65 degrees, I was like: 'That's extremely hot'. And then it was like 'oooo Fahrenheit'.
Also I just converted 65F to celsius, and mate 18 degrees is like really warm for London. It's actually quite warm in general in my opinion.
You should know that the origi al crossing in Abbey Rd has been moved as it was causing a lot of problems with the traffic flow.
Loved your video of London!
When he stood still on the left side of the escalator I needed to scream
The pigeon run was soooo funny...it was like they were all stoned and couldnt give a toss
Haha right?!
London pigeons are the bravest birds in the world, they don't give a damn!
How did you find the air quality?
Love the California glass half full outlook. :-)
👍
I went there last week and shoot some videos, too 😊

Thanks
excellent flight to uk you guys
Sherlock Holmes was written and created in Portsmouth England in Elm Grove at the time called Bush Gardens where Arthur Conan Doyle worked as a GP. Why they don't have a Sherlock Holmes museum where it was first created eludes me. But there is a plaque on the block of flats that replaced Arthur Conan Doyles practice because it got bombed in WW2 commemorating where Sherlock Holmes was created.
There are some places hear that were built by the Romans that are still around like forts etc, there's one near where I live( they partially tuck over England...they got stuck at scotland haha)
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but that Abbey Road crossing might now be a 'listed monument' - or something like that. So it's been sort-of preserved for posterity -for the time being.
Wow these videos make me so proud to be English.
What a shame our government are doing everything they can to put us down.
@Catfish Billy please shut the fuck up. The Tories have bring this country down. The lefties are the only people to make this country good again. Without us lefties you would be rotting in a grave.
@@Lynnee2001 The conservatives are destroying Britain. The sooner they're kicked out the better
@@Lynnee2001 oh yeah remember the 70’s where there was a 3 day working week with the economy in the shitter, thought that was a labour government that put us in that
I just came back from Florida and their weather reports said mid 70s was a cold snap lol. In England 70 degrees signals summertime! We don’t like it hot, we don’t like it cold....we like it mild and complain either way all the time.
UK people are friendly & courteous, nice video.😃😍
The Cheshire Cheese used to be ok if cramped. We used to pop in sometimes when I worked in Gough Square by Dr Johnson's House. I probably wouldn't eat there though
Hey you two,
Let me tell you that I never saw a bookstore, that I would describe as "cute", but it's obviously an American thing, that I've noticed, that cute
seems to be a one word fits all, so buildings are described as cute, a pleasant park, or a view, are described as cute, along with everything
that is liked!
The English language is, by far, the most comprehensive of all others, and with so many descriptive words!
What I can say is that you two, and particularly Melissa, are most definitely "cute"!
You are such fun, and must be great to be around with, and so much so that I have subscribed!
Please don't ever change, and keep on loving life, as you so obviously do.....xx
Little did he know, British pigeons are fearless and DGAF!
True dat I learnt it the hard way when a swarm took all of my chips
Discovered Spoons hours into your visit. Iconic.
Hi I would have liked to see you manage in the underground. I found the underground confusing! A happy and fun couple
So glad you enjoyed :) Yeah the underground was a confusing! But I think because we had been to New York before and used the Subway it was a little easier for us to understand.
You guys are cute lol! Glad you enjoyed London please feel free to visit UK anytime LOADS to see and do!
I'm proud to be English, you'll see a lot more sights outside of London. I live in the Northeast and it's more countryside. it's very beautiful during the summertime if you're driving.
It’s so interesting to see where tourists go. I was born and grew up in London and always wondered what people who aren’t from here like to see.
I had a friend come over and had no idea what to show them 😅
Disney is very nice this time of year. Go there.
Did you guys walk from St Johns Wood to Baker Street?. That is a hell of a walk.
Glad you enjoyed London as I think we have a beautiful country lol
Thank you! We loved it :)
🤫🤫
Luton_town _fan going well mate 7 in row is it ?
Watford Fc yeh
Watford Fc shame we didn’t draw you in the cup, atmosphere would have been mad
Have you noticed that many people use Fahrenheit for warm or hot temperatures, then use Celsius for cold conditions..
You do things in exactly the same order as me! Abbey Road, then Baker Street, yeay Good video, ;)
Thank you! haha It is a good order :)
All the pigeons are like, “Oh no not another American!”
It’s a phone boom not booth. 🇬🇧😉
'The toob!' I've been in Abbey Road studios. It was cool!
You go to Regent’s park, and find the London business school, but not London zoo? Or the inner circle which was the setting for 101 Dalmatians?
Cute, cute, cute, cute, super cute!
:)
If you go to England again go somewhere different like Cornwall or Lancashire or yorkshire
The actual 221b (well 221 because there was never a real 221b) Baker Street is further South on Baker St and it used to be part of the block of numbers covered by the head office of Marks and Spencer department store. They had a dedicated employee to handle the mail for Sherlock Holmes.
this is beautiful
Thank you so much!
Crosswork in UK is called a zebra crossing
Interesting. We have never heard that one! Thank you!
@@TheJoshAndMelissa Cos it has Black and White Stripes.. Always called it a Zebra Crossing.
My mum told me that the address was a Lloyd's bank before it was the sherlock Holmes museum and that they got so many letters sent to them saying dear Mr holmes that it got turned into the museum that people can visit now .and it's set out the way it is described in the books
when she said: “its cold here, isnt it like 65degrees here.” i was like: IT HAS NEVER BEEN OVER 40 DEGREESX IN THE UK BEFORE!!!!!!!!!! IS IT LIKE 450 DEGREES IN WINTER FOR U! LIKE !!!!!!
Good to see use like the U.K.
We really did :)
Ye Old Cheshire Cheese - it's super cool, and super touristy - lol
English food is ok. Not as good as the rest of Europe, but still way better than in America. I've been to London three times and love it! The weather sucks only from November through April. They have to write the words Look Right on the sidewalk for Americans so they don't get hit by a bus.
Chose your time .. you can walk straight into the National Gallery and with no entrance fee. Some of those painting were made 1300.
Didja know that London has less average rainfall than New York or Paris? Neither did I. Doesn’t feel like it sometimes.
Wow. No we did not.
Quite true. Even parts of Spain (north) have higher rainfall than the south east of England. It really is quite a dry region. Britain is not particularly cold either. Just we Brits like to pretend we are like Siberia are something. Most of continental Europe has more extreme weather than us.
More interesting than that is New York is at latitude 41 the same as Madrid and Naples. London is at 51 but is much warmer in the winter due to the Gulf of Mexico 'gulf stream' which heats the European Atlantic coast.
LA to London nonstop!? You're crazy!
On your first tube ride you rode the jubilee line
Thank you for being quiet in the bookshop, my local library has been turned into a creche and computer center and it is loud with people having no respect for other people who wish to have a quiet reflection around the books and learning; to me, a bookshop or a library is like a church, and i hate our modern way of not treating these places with respect and reverence for others who wish to learn and study.
+ Philip Williams
Same at my local library .
London pigeons fly so close, I feel like ducking. Thx guys.
Happy Thursday!!?? Is that a thing now?
You and your brother as so close!!
Haha that is because we are husband and wife. But people tell us all the time we look like brother and sister
Ok guys London isn't ENGLAND. If you really want to see real ENGLAND get as far away from London as you can
Stealthy Street Rat London is awesome. There are many reasons tourists are more drawn to the capital than the rest of the country.
