- London's most British places for history, music, culture and more in England. Some 2,000 years after it was founded by the Romans, London, England, is now one of the world’s most international cities. You can find just about anything from anywhere here but we went to seek out the UK capital's most British of things from Big Ben to Abbey Road to the classic English breakfast. Cheers!
British London - English Breakfast: 2:00
Big Ben: 4:28 Trafalgar Square 5:10
Buckingham Palace: 6:50 Piccadilly Circus: 7:36 The Tube 8:17
Carnaby Street: 9:15 Abby Road: 12:16 Paddington Bear & Station: 14:16
Glad to see the Englishness in England especially in London. And, that English Breakfast looks scrumptious.
Thank you! That was our aim-to show that London still has its Englishness. We wanted to show its authentic history, culture, and music . Have you been to London?
@@BigSmallTravel It was a relief to see this video compared to what I'd see on Backpacker Ben's channel. Thx!
@@tlacorp.3813 Thanks! We try to show less common perspective than what you will see trending online.
@@BigSmallTravelwhen eating the breakfast ( in fact all meals ) use the knife and fork all the times but keep the knife in your preferred hand in the right hand if you're right handed , left handed in the left.
When eating use the forks ( tangs ) facing down and like all meals put more than one type of food on the forks this will enhance the taste , of course the tangs are face down just like in all meals
@@BigSmallTravel Thx! Everyone is ragging on the Brits now but it is good to see this ...
Enjoyed the video ...My favorite city and you guys are awesome.
Thank you so much! London is a very special city. ❤
Wonderful video ❤ I've dreamt of visiting London
Thank you very much! Glad to hear you enjoyed the video. I hope you get to London as it is wonderful!
That Was One Great Vlog Thank You
Thank you! London is a wonderful place to visit.
Are you visiting London or in the UK?
The Elizabeth Tower was never called Big Ben, as Big Ben is a bell. Its the largest bell in the tower, the one that strikes the hour. I believe the tower was previously called St. Steven's Tower.
Thanks for watching of course, we appreciate it. Our point is that Big Ben was the nickname for the Great Bell of the Great Clock of Westminster, and, by extension, for the clock tower itself. Are you in the UK?
Your breakfast looked odd / no mushrooms, tomatoes, black pudding, fried bread ??
Interesting point, it would have been better with mushrooms and tomatoes. Ironically, one of the better English breakfasts we had was in one of London's airports and another around Brick Lane, but the ambiance at Sheila's and the waiter made this English Breakfast better for RUclips. Where is the best English breakfast in London?
"We are walking in and about the area of Trafalgar." Sorry guys, bit of a gaffe there, the district around Trafalgar Square is not called Trafalgar.
Thanks for watching. I think we were trying to express that we were near Trafalgar Square. I hope that is clear. Are you in England?
Very enjoyable vlog, really good positive energy
Thanks for watching! We loved visiting London so our positive energy was evident.
Also it’s NOT BuckingHAM palace - it’s Buckingerm Palace…
Thank you! English pronunciation does differ of course from American English pronunciation. Where are you from?
@@BigSmallTravel London!
@@freddiemac1438 Ok, we love London!
Did anybody notice Boy George about 5 minutes in.
Hi! Was it really Boy George at 9:13 Is this what you saw in the video?
@@BigSmallTravel it was definitely Boy George, I paused it several times to check.
@@BigSmallTravel he didn’t have any makeup on.
@@toneb1965 Wow, I can't believe that ... That was by accident. So, Boy George is based in London?
@@BigSmallTravel
He’s based in Camden
You didn’t say when your visit took place? A common issue with YT London vloggers…
Hi! Thanks for watching. This video was from earlier this year before Summer. However, we do not usually vlog from London. However, we do want to return to the UK for sure.
Every time I see Americans eat with Knives and Forks 😂😂😂😂, 😮😂😂😂😂
🇬🇧🧐
Thanks for watching! Are you from the UK? What do you mean? I hope you enjoyed the British themed teddy bear at 1:41
@@BigSmallTravel I expect this comment is about the etiquette. The British table manners are very different from that of Americans. You will notice for example that the fork is placed on the left side of the plate and the knife on the right. You are expected to eat with the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right, throughout. Americans tend to use the fork in the right hand swapping it around when they need to use the knife. This is quite jarring to British table etiquette, especially in more formal surroundings.
Here are some examples (there are many more):
Start with Good Manners:
- Wait until your host or hostess starts eating or indicates that you should do so.
- Chew and swallow all the food in your mouth before taking more or having a drink.
- Break bread and rolls with your fingers, not with your knife.
- Soup should be spooned away from you, tilting the bowl away from you.
Use Utensils Properly:
- Hold the fork in your left hand and the knife in your right.
- The fork is primarily used for eating most of your food, while the knife is for cutting meat or supporting food.
- Never hold both utensils in one hand.
- place both utensils together on the plate when finished eating
Serviettes, Crockery, and Cutlery:
- Place your serviette (napkin) on your lap. If it’s small, you may open it out fully; if large, fold it in half with the fold toward you.
- When finished eating, place soup spoons, coffee spoons, and dessert spoons on the side plate or saucer, never in the bowl or cup.
- Avoid pushing your plate away or stacking dishes.
@@graeradt Thank for the detailed explanation, we appreciate it for sure. The casual nature and relationship that most Americans have with food definitely plays a part in forming the way we as Americans even view or utilize cutlery. Are you from London?
Actually it was a jewish immigrant who opened the 1st fish & Chip shop in 1860 .in London.
Thank you for watching. That's an interesting fact. Are you from London? The history of the English breakfast is fascinating especially in regards to the industrial revolution.
@BigSmallTravel about 160 miles away in Derbyshire, pronounced Dar be sher, But I've worked and Lived around London in the Past , My heart and Soul is with the Midlands and North England 🏴.
@BigSmallTravel So I have Connections with the industrial Revolution, Which Started with Water power and Canals in the 18th century.
Was the fish and chip shop in London’s East End? In terms of history, the connection with this community goes back to even Roman Britain.
@@MaxwellMoore-d1u Thanks for answering, we need to see this part of England. I have heard of Derbyshire.
Get out of London and see real England 🇬🇧
Thanks for watching! Yes, it seems many agree with you that the real England is not in London anymore. Where are you located?
