Hi there. I don’t, no. I have been once. To be honest I think it’s best visited when it can be combined with something else or it’s on the way to somewhere. Just on its own, I found it not worth the time to get there and back. It is incredible in terms of the mystery that surrounds it and how they got there, etc but I didn’t necessarily need to see them to understand that. Anything else let me know.
Hey, I'm really looking forward, if you have the time and you will make a video from London's must see's in the local perspective. I love this city so much and I have visited it four times till now. xoxo from Austria :)
Hi there. Thank you for your comment. Hmm. I see this video as being from a local perspective as that’s the whole point of this video. What else would you like to see? I am doing a part two at some point for London going over a list of things I didn’t cover in this video so keep an eye out for that. Thanks again
heyy, really? a second part of your video by time will be great. I'm also really happy that you are answering me :-) I have visited all places in your video, up to about two places. Firstly I visited this beautiful multiculture city we did the normal touristic sightseeing (London Eye, Madame Tussauds, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Trafalgar Square and so on. Other parts i have also seen are Notting Hill, Tate Modern, Brick Lane, Hyde Park, Harrods (architecture in-/and outside), ... I'm interessted in architecture, arts, photography and cosy places. Thanks in advance :-)
This is really the best 5-day London visit video I’ve seen on RUclips. Please keep doing it. I am more looking forward to my London trip in June after watch this one.
Thank you for this comprehensive walk tour of London. Because of your video, I am inspired to go back and visit the places I missed. My daughter and I were there last July, 2024. Regards to your lovely partner/wife. Greetings from the Philippines.
Hi I too am a Londoner but live in Perth Western Australia now. I left London in 2005 so you have given me such a fascinating insight into being a tourist in my old backyard and stomping ground . Thanks 🤗 (I don’t have a picture in front of Buckingham Palace),! 😫
I'm not a film expert, so I can't articulate why I love your video so much. Somehow your footage gave me a better glimpse of what London actually looks and feels like, especially some shots of the London skyline. Most travel videos show London from the center but with your footage I actually get some vistas of London from different angles. There is a real spatial awareness in your footage somehow. Thanks!
Yes, not particularly great footage but to be expected when just using an iPhone. And for me that's a bonus, bcos I only take my smart phone (instead of my old, and huge, slr) travelling, so this is more realistic. And this is what I'm liking most about this video so far, how practical it is. Personally I could do with even more focus on the tips and less on the production, but this is probably the most balanced I've seen (in many years of watching travel videos for research)
Welcome to the channel. I usually do a mixture of travel vlogs like this which are more about providing inspiration for travel. And then also guides, which are more practical tips for visiting. There’s playlists for both on this channel. Welcome again
This is a very good guide, and I say this as a Londoner. There's nothing more frustrating than watching vloggers who come and have a mediocre time here because they only do the main tourist sites. This video is a really good middle ground between the obvious tourist sites and the unexpected.
This video portrays 1. Art of story telling 2. Quality content does not need high end tools always 3. Passion about a place. Well done! I have never enjoyed a vlog as much as this video. If ever we travel, this video would be the guide i will refer to. Thanks for sharing with us.
Wow. What an amazing comment! Thank you for taking the time. If you enjoy my travel vlogging style, I have many more videos around the world which might also inspire future travels. Thanks again
I just moved to London from Canada to study at King’s College and I feel so honoured to live here! I will do everything you said here ... I am very lucky to be located in Bloomsbury so very central. And I can’t wait for Covid to be over so I can do this exact itinerary with my parents too when they will come to visit me! Thank you!!!
Going to london in July 2022 with my parents, my aunt and my cousin. Getting so hyped, there is so many things in this video that have a, given me yet another thing to add my never ending list of places to go in London and b, made me even more excited to go this beautiful city. Places I had never heard of like Neal's Yard, St Katherines Docks, and Blackheath Village, have all been added on to my list of things I need to see. This video is incredibly well researched and formatted, with the flow of the video making a lot of sense. Having the days/areas divided was very logically set out, and made where everything was a lot easier to understand. In particular I really want to check out Greenwich so I can go back home and tell my geography teacher that I have stood on Prime Meridian. Thank you for this wonderful blog, you have earnt my subscription! - Much Gratitude from Australia

Wonderful shooting and editing . What a great narrator you are. You must have put great efforts on studying the history. You remind me the 100 reasons why London is always my most favorite city in the world. Thanks from Taiwan.
Same thing goes for most of us who live in the cities that are visited by tourists. Having lived in NYC most of my life I never visited the WTC Towers or its replacement. I didn't get to the Statue of Liberty until I took my sons. Never have been to the Empire State or Chrysler buildings. We take these sites for granted as a resident. We have 4 days visiting London in October and will make the most of it. Thanks for the enlightening tour.
Lovely video! I live in Canada (born in Scotland) and go back to the UK every Christmas. After seeing my Scottish home town and a few rellies, I go to London for a week. London is such an amazing host! She really has something for everyone. I like museums and plays, others like the pub crawls and kitschy shops, I love just strolling and seeing things. I just got to the square mile last year for the first time because (some things you missed) I wanted to see The Mithraem, Guildford Ampitheatre and St Mary Le Bow's. Another thing about last minute theatre tickets, apps are great and everything but I love going to the little kiosks and just saying "I have tomorrow afternoon free..." and he knows what he has tickets for. Still haven't seen Play About A Bank Robbery. Always mean to. See you in December!
I hardly ever comment on RUclips, but I found this video incredibly helpful. I’m going to London for five days soon, not by choice. I’ve been before and did all the tourist stops on the double decker bus. The city did not stand out to me at all. This video makes me excited to go to London. Keep up the good work, mate.
Excellent guide. Brought back many happy memories. Difficult to cover every aspect of London but you did a terrific job. If you have children or are elderly or have limited mobility worth mentioning that there are many quiet havens all over London - Postman's Park, Battersea Park, Hampstead Heath. Chelsea, Notting Hill, Kew, Regent's Park are also pleasant places. While shopping and eating are great activities it's worth remembering that London is a huge collection of villages and open spaces. Something for everyone. (Born in London and lived here most of my seventy odd years)
So glad I found this. Fab! Please do a part two. I grew up in the uk, visited London hundreds of times and now as a US resident I come as a tourist and love finding and showing off the hot spots to family. Thanks for this, superb quality,
We appreciate your viewpoints on London! We did recently very much enjoy Borough Market! Man, the food and pastries were off the chain! Doughnuts, Brulee doughnuts, ginger bread, croissants (who knew there was a rival to Paris boulangeries!) Thanks for your always informative and often amusing vlogs.
I lived in London for 13 years and year ago I moved to Helsinki. I am now starting to realise how much I took london for granted. Im gonna go back for 3 weeks in the summer and I honestly cant wait. Also great video
Thank you, Sir, for making this fabulous video introducing your lovely home city of London with us. It is by far one of the very best London videos on the internet. Thank you very much for making it!!
Just returned to the US after staying 8 nights in London. Had previously watched some of your old vids on London. Extremely helpful. Visited some of your recommendations. We had a super good time and enjoyed it immensely! Thanks heaps!
This London travel vlog is the best I have seen. We often have visitors from the USA come to London. I always send them a link to this video to whet their appetites for the city!
Museum of London is vastly under-rated. I loved it for an in-depth history of the city. Also, it is near St. Paul's to visit both. Hampstead Heath is a lovely park if a picnic is in mind. Kid friendly London Zoo is there. You can combine history, architecture, fine art, and beautiful gardens at Kenwood House at the north end of Hampstead Heath (Golders Green area) -- free admission, and picnicking allowed.
Well...if that doesn't tempt anyone to visit London, nothing will. Really good, well presented and edited. Thank you :)...The best travel guide to London I've seen ever
Wow while I thought I have been most tourist spots in London, this London travel vlog shows us many more London city hidden gems, I think I’ll have to spend more time in my next trip in London to see them all!
I have been living in London for over 30 years, it is easy to become dismissive of the place and all its problems. But it is actually an epic city! so beautiful. And Greenwich is possibly my favourite place in London, it's London's 'seaside' resort, other than Brighton.
My wife and I will be travelling to London and Paris this September. As Americans, we have explored our own continent, but this will be our first intercontinental trip. We were already SO excited about Europe, but this video has increased our excitement exponentially! What a fantastic presentation, and we appreciate the local familiarity. Thank you so very much for this very helpful video. You have more than earned a thumbs up and a subscribe!
Awww thank you, that’s lovely to hear! I’ve made a London playlist which will cover a few more local things as well as some of our favourite restaurants. Hope you enjoy your trip! 😍
Great video,In the 10 years that ive lived in this country,ive grown to love and adore its peoples and its beautiful towns,cities,countryside and culture..
I'm in London for five days this summer and this video helped me so much! More than any other video I've watched so far. It is definitely worth every minute of it. Thank you :)
Sometimes I wonder if I really went to London last year, it was a dream that came true! and your video gives to me a great reason to come back again and again. Thank you for sharing this amazing footage.
Agree with everyone, an excellently-made video. Over the years I’ve been to most of these places except Primrose Hill area and intend to rectify that maybe next year. Love London, the amazing history, old and new architecture ...’when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life’ ......so true!
man I have a book and pen planning our next family holiday while watching this, thank you so much!! so refreshing compared to other London Guide videos please keep it up
YES MORE LONDON VIDEOS. This was the best I’ve honestly seen on RUclips-and your camerawork is awesome. I’d love it if you’d show us your equipment give us a ‘how I shoot’ video -would be so interesting
Hi there. ThBk you very much for the kind words! Yes I am planning on doing a behind the scenes video. Maybe more if they do well. It’ll happen sometime! 😊
such a nice video! the quality, the editing, the descrption! Thank you so much! and please do a part 2 if possible regarding London. I 've been looking for a long time a nice vlog! Finally i saw yours! great work!
Suitcase Monkey great! In the mean time now that the weather is nice I ll go and explore the places you said. After 2 years and I am still worst than a tourist. :-)
with this video i could plan my seven day trip to london with my dad! we really enjoyed the time there, right now missing a lot this beautifull city!, greetings from Spain!!
Wow this is exactly what I was looking for, visiting London by zones. It’d be crazy to go back and forth to places. Thanks so much for your great videos.
I have visited London for a couple of days last August for the first time, and I immediately fell in love with it. Luckily I will spend a week in London again next month, and thanks to you, I have plenty of ideas what to visit! :)
Nothing like being brought on a trip by a local! Thank you for grouping together the locations in days and adding in the bits of history here and there, really fun to watch and it'll definitely help me with planning our upcoming trip to the UK next month :)
This was INCREDIBLY helpful. My family is planning of traveling to London next year, for 5 days oddly enough. Great video, is gonna be really useful planning an itinerary!
Hi there, I have spent several weeks on 2 separate occasions and have seen very few tourist sights. We stayed with family and kept putting off our tourist duties and missed out on a lot. We will be visiting in June 2023 and I am doing EVERYTHING.
It's feels like a perfect virtual London trip represented in this video. Great video and it will be much helpful for first time London visitors. Thank you so much and much appreciated. 😊
The Tower of London just feels like it’s part of the surrounding architecture. I was once looking for it once, since I was going to have a tour around it, and it was right next to me and I didn’t notice. 😂 You’d think I’d be able to spot a large tower grounds, but NO!
My family and I should already be walking around London this week if not for the pandemic. Trip’s now postponed till things get better. Thanks for this amazing London guide! Hope to get to visit soon. Stay safe!
Loved your video on London, especially the warmth with which you have filmed it. Have travelled here about 6 times but it feels like a new destination after watching this! One of the best made videos , I'd say it's a must watch for first time travelers to this beautiful city.
I will travel this year to london with my husband and mother in law. I have been looking for several vlogs and ideas to explore london by walk. Thank you for creating this vlog and taking your time with your wife. Your video is the best so far with very nice recommendations that combines all of our needs. Now I am looking forward to our trip more than ever. :)
Yes, more videos of London and the surrounding area. This was so entertaining and beautifully shot and, yes, your voice over very informative and fun! We are headed to London in September and this made me so excited! Thanks so much!
Having been a frequent visitor to London over the past 30 years I have seen/ used many videos on RUclips to help plan our visits. I can't think of any better than this one. Not only is the video of excellent quality it is also highly informative. I couldn't agree more with much of the content and would highly recommend many of the suggestions from personal experience. My wife and I are visiting again in a few weeks and now have a few new things to check out. Highly recommended!
WOW! That really is a weight off my mind. I felt lots of pressure making this, since it is my hometown and therefore I should know it well. And better than the normal travel vlogs I do in foreign countries. It makes me happy that someone like yourself found it useful and agreeable. Thank you so much for letting me know.
This video is about how to spend your holidays in London. The narrator mentions the beautiful Buckingham Palace and the telephone booth fascinates tourists. He mentions Queen Elizabeth, saying only positive things about her. Tells about the Tower of London, which is almost 1000 years old. He described many of the landmarks and also mentioned the city's transportation app City Mapper, very beautiful Greenwich Park with a beautiful garden. The video is very informative, it's good that there are locals who shoot interesting videos about their city.
This is the first vlog of yours i've watch and after watching this, i almost watch all your travel vlogs especially the Japan part 1 and 2. You're so wholesome and very natural vlogger. Very informative without those cringy over hyped edits i used to watch. Hope u do more of this stuff. Kudos
Hey thanks and welcome! I’ve done 19 vlogs in this style so I hope you find them all interesting. I’ve also done a bunch of travel guides to various places around the world. Cheers.
I love your videos! I was in London only for a few days around Christmas time and fell in love with the city. We stayed at Dorsett City London hotel, loved it and the rooftop bar :) A plus is it is right next to the underground. We walked a lot, got to know the underground and took hop on/off buses. We ended up getting off the bus to look around the palace right before the Changing of the Guards, very cool accident ;) The Sky Garden is a must see! As soon as they released tickets for that week I got tickets during sunset to see day and night views. Gorgeous! And I also went to afternoon tea at Marriott Grosvenor House and it was AMAZING! ALL CAPS AMAZING! I have to go back for at least a week, I am so enamored of your city, and I need to all of these places in your videos :)
First time went to London with my husband last year..Definetely I’m in ❤️ with London, then this year went to Liverpool & Manchester 😍 Great vlog anyway 😍🙏🏻 Best wishes from Netherlands ☺️
We went to London 3 yrs ago and want to go back to Borough Market!!! The Tower of London and the Churchill War Rooms were my favorite tours along with Kensington Palace.
Watching this while not able to travel, but if I get to go to London again in the near future, this will definitely be my travel guide, I’ll watch it again and take notes 🇦🇺🥰
I really enjoyed watching this video , entertaining and informative at the same time Nice to see a lot of my favourite spots like Sky Garden .Going back to London for 6 days in 2 weeks from now. Pretty much done with the sightseeing years ago , so now it’s all about enjoying the city and exploring new areas.
I was born in London, and have lived in London all of my life so far (30 years!), and this video has made me fall in love with my home all over again. It's so easy to get whipped up in the hustle and bustle of commuting, and quickly getting from A to B, but this video has made me want to slow down, get out, and explore my home again, with no time limit. Thank you for this fantastic video!
Wow a beautifully put together video and as you say there is so much more too you could go on and on London is such an incredible City and you need 3 weeks minimum to explore but you would still have things to do it’s got everything has London Excellent work well done subscribed
The video quality is amazingly good. When I travel I like to see a short list of "must see" tourist places and then I just like to see what the locals like so this is a great video for both. Thank you!
I just discovered you today and I love your travel videos. This one in particular brought back awesome memories of when I studied abroad in London a few years ago. Looking forward to your next adventure! Cheers!
Hi there. Thank you for letting me know ,that’s lovely to hear. Just so you know, I don’t post that often so I hope my back catalogue can keep you entertained until the next one. Thanks again!
This is one of the best travel videos that I have seen. I first went to London about 46 years ago. What a different place it is today. I was there last year but I only went to London 2 days. I will look at all your videos as a guide for my next trip Thanks again for your professional videos.
Thank you for sharing Your adept way of describing places and how to reach them! I might also add that our dear departed Queen Elizabeth the second stayed that correct way to eat scones with jam first then topped with the clotted cream! Enjoy!
I've been watching your videos with my Mum and your videos are just something else! We love everything you post but particularly love your UK and London videos. Would love to see more!
I'm going to visit London next week. I'm so stoked and I'm glad that I found your video. It's very helpful. I'm very dissapointed when I found out I had to get tickets for the Harry Potter Studios 4 months before actually going. Now I won't be able to go there, because its already fully booked till september! It's crazy.
Brilliant video thank you so much. I'm in a similar situation, born and raised in London and taken it all for granted and never explored. My girlfriend has only been here in London for a few years and this video will really provide us with some memorable places to visit ❤️
Woohoo! Beautiful video and guide, wish I had seen this before my trip. I was there 2 weeks ago, for a whole week. First time in London, solo. I saw about 80% of the places you have covered, on foot or tube or the exact same clipper from Greenwich to London Bridge. Some of them I literally accidentally found, and didn't know they were so famous until this video. For example St. James's park, Horse Regiment House or even Leicester Square. I spotted the Monument, when I stepped out of Bank station to take pee while travelling to Greenwich and had to change a tube, not kidding. By the way it costs 5 pounds now. I also missed a couple of places very close to me, including Borough market. I was living in a hostel just outside Borough underground station. I also did Bath for one entire day. Ohh and Citymapper ftw, I could use the Tube with so much ease just because of Citymapper. Good job man!
My wife and I are planning to visit London later this year and your video is very detailed and I appreciate all the hard work you put into making this. I am now a subscriber for sure.
I actually just now started to plan a trip for London in February and this video was exactly what I needed to know about London. Thank you for this amazing guide!
I'm going to London 5 days on Monday and your video helped me very well to plan my trip! I saw much videos about London, but yours is definitly the best!☺ Greetings from Germany🇩🇪
Thank you! Edinburgh will be out this Sunday at 8pm uk time. If you are available, we will be having a Live Premiere when it makes it debut so hopefully you can join us for a chat when it drops. 😊
Beautiful travel guide! I agree that we usually take for granted our towns, and get bored instead of exploring them over the years. Best wishes from Romania! 💕🤗🌼
This is indeed one of the best travel vlogs I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing it with us. It will help very much for my trip to London next week to find some cool places to visit.

I am American and always wanted to visit England. Thank you for this really enjoyable tour. I enjoyed it very much.
Thank you, Sir, for making this fabulous video introducing your lovely home city of London with us. It is by far one of the very best London videos on the internet. Thank you very much for making it!!
Just returned to the US after staying 8 nights in London. Had previously watched some of your old vids on London. Extremely helpful. Visited some of your recommendations. We had a super good time and enjoyed it immensely! Thanks heaps!
That’s great to hear. Thanks for the update. Much appreciated 😀
This London travel vlog is the best I have seen. We often have visitors from the USA come to London. I always send them a link to this video to whet their appetites for the city!
Thank you for letting me know. You might also find our London playlist useful which also has dining suggestions
Museum of London is vastly under-rated. I loved it for an in-depth history of the city. Also, it is near St. Paul's to visit both. Hampstead Heath is a lovely park if a picnic is in mind. Kid friendly London Zoo is there. You can combine history, architecture, fine art, and beautiful gardens at Kenwood House at the north end of Hampstead Heath (Golders Green area) -- free admission, and picnicking allowed.
I recently moved to London but I haven't seen much. This video shows me hidden gems of the city. Thanks for the great work!
Well...if that doesn't tempt anyone to visit London, nothing will.
Really good, well presented and edited.
Thank you :)...The best travel guide to London I've seen ever
Thank you for making this video. I live in Canada but have been to London 3 times in the last 10 months. It just never fails to impress.
Wow while I thought I have been most tourist spots in London, this London travel vlog shows us many more London city hidden gems, I think I’ll have to spend more time in my next trip in London to see them all!
I have been living in London for over 30 years, it is easy to become dismissive of the place and all its problems. But it is actually an epic city! so beautiful. And Greenwich is possibly my favourite place in London, it's London's 'seaside' resort, other than Brighton.
Hi
My wife and I will be travelling to London and Paris this September. As Americans, we have explored our own continent, but this will be our first intercontinental trip. We were already SO excited about Europe, but this video has increased our excitement exponentially! What a fantastic presentation, and we appreciate the local familiarity. Thank you so very much for this very helpful video. You have more than earned a thumbs up and a subscribe!
Awww thank you, that’s lovely to hear! I’ve made a London playlist which will cover a few more local things as well as some of our favourite restaurants. Hope you enjoy your trip! 😍
Well, I hope it went beautifully sir, 4 years ago
Great video,In the 10 years that ive lived in this country,ive grown to love and adore its peoples and its beautiful towns,cities,countryside and culture..
This was great, thank you! As an Anglophile in America, I love discovering new (for me) areas of London. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks! I have a uk playlist here which you may enjoy: ruclips.net/p/PLszSmMLISbAe5iVgihDj4DF1OaZ85hLzu
We had an amazing time visiting London, England. With so much history and so many places to see, we will certainly return to this fascinating city.
REAL DEAL - Wish I would have seen this BEFORE I went. You can trust this guide.
I'm in London for five days this summer and this video helped me so much! More than any other video I've watched so far. It is definitely worth every minute of it. Thank you :)
Thank you!
Sometimes I wonder if I really went to London last year, it was a dream that came true! and your video gives to me a great reason to come back again and again. Thank you for sharing this amazing footage.
Agree with everyone, an excellently-made video. Over the years I’ve been to most of these places except Primrose Hill area and intend to rectify that maybe next year. Love London, the amazing history, old and new architecture ...’when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life’ ......so true!
man I have a book and pen planning our next family holiday while watching this, thank you so much!! so refreshing compared to other London Guide videos please keep it up
Thank you! I’m literally making part 2 right now! Take a look at my London and UK playlist also. ruclips.net/p/PLszSmMLISbAe5iVgihDj4DF1OaZ85hLzu
YES MORE LONDON VIDEOS. This was the best I’ve honestly seen on RUclips-and your camerawork is awesome. I’d love it if you’d show us your equipment give us a ‘how I shoot’ video -would be so interesting
Hi there. ThBk you very much for the kind words! Yes I am planning on doing a behind the scenes video. Maybe more if they do well. It’ll happen sometime! 😊
"Let us hang out in Piccadilly or Leicester Square said no Londoner ever!"
That is so true! - It's the tourist pits.
such a nice video! the quality, the editing, the descrption! Thank you so much! and please do a part 2 if possible regarding London. I 've been looking for a long time a nice vlog! Finally i saw yours! great work!
Thank you. I’ve already had a few requests for a part two so it’s something I want to do later in the year so keep an eye out!
Suitcase Monkey great! In the mean time now that the weather is nice I ll go and explore the places you said. After 2 years and I am still worst than a tourist. :-)
I love your videos 👏congrat👏👏👑
with this video i could plan my seven day trip to london with my dad! we really enjoyed the time there, right now missing a lot this beautifull city!, greetings from Spain!!
Hello Spain! We are going to Barcelona soon and looking forward to that!
Wow this is exactly what I was looking for, visiting London by zones. It’d be crazy to go back and forth to places.
Thanks so much for your great videos.
you're right, Nelly. this is the logical approach :)
Great video of London. I loved it.
My next trip. Thank you. 🤗
I have visited London for a couple of days last August for the first time, and I immediately fell in love with it. Luckily I will spend a week in London again next month, and thanks to you, I have plenty of ideas what to visit! :)
Nothing like being brought on a trip by a local! Thank you for grouping together the locations in days and adding in the bits of history here and there, really fun to watch and it'll definitely help me with planning our upcoming trip to the UK next month :)
This was INCREDIBLY helpful. My family is planning of traveling to London next year, for 5 days oddly enough. Great video, is gonna be really useful planning an itinerary!
You’re welcome! I’ve got a bunch of other London videos to check out which may help also and more coming.
Hi there, I have spent several weeks on 2 separate occasions and have seen very few tourist sights. We stayed with family and kept putting off our tourist duties and missed out on a lot. We will be visiting in June 2023 and I am doing EVERYTHING.
It's feels like a perfect virtual London trip represented in this video. Great video and it will be much helpful for first time London visitors. Thank you so much and much appreciated. 😊
The Tower of London just feels like it’s part of the surrounding architecture.
I was once looking for it once, since I was going to have a tour around it, and it was right next to me and I didn’t notice. 😂
You’d think I’d be able to spot a large tower grounds, but NO!
My family and I should already be walking around London this week if not for the pandemic. Trip’s now postponed till things get better. Thanks for this amazing London guide! Hope to get to visit soon. Stay safe!
Loved your video on London, especially the warmth with which you have filmed it. Have travelled here about 6 times but it feels like a new destination after watching this! One of the best made videos , I'd say it's a must watch for first time travelers to this beautiful city.
I watched a lot of videos guiding about London but i think this video is the best.
Thank you! Part 2 is out tomorrow if you want more. Also check out my London playlist which has more videos on there. Thanks again
I will travel this year to london with my husband and mother in law. I have been looking for several vlogs and ideas to explore london by walk. Thank you for creating this vlog and taking your time with your wife. Your video is the best so far with very nice recommendations that combines all of our needs. Now I am looking forward to our trip more than ever. :)
Yes, more videos of London and the surrounding area. This was so entertaining and beautifully shot and, yes, your voice over very informative and fun! We are headed to London in September and this made me so excited! Thanks so much!
This is one example of a staycation during a pandemic, especially if you live in the city. Thank you for posting this.
Having been a frequent visitor to London over the past 30 years I have seen/ used many videos on RUclips to help plan our visits. I can't think of any better than this one. Not only is the video of excellent quality it is also highly informative. I couldn't agree more with much of the content and would highly recommend many of the suggestions from personal experience. My wife and I are visiting again in a few weeks and now have a few new things to check out. Highly recommended!
WOW! That really is a weight off my mind. I felt lots of pressure making this, since it is my hometown and therefore I should know it well. And better than the normal travel vlogs I do in foreign countries. It makes me happy that someone like yourself found it useful and agreeable. Thank you so much for letting me know.
This video is about how to spend your holidays in London. The narrator mentions the beautiful Buckingham Palace and the telephone booth fascinates tourists. He mentions Queen Elizabeth, saying only positive things about her. Tells about the Tower of London, which is almost 1000 years old.
He described many of the landmarks and also mentioned the city's transportation app City Mapper, very beautiful Greenwich Park with a beautiful garden. The video is very informative, it's good that there are locals who shoot interesting videos about their city.
This is the first vlog of yours i've watch and after watching this, i almost watch all your travel vlogs especially the Japan part 1 and 2. You're so wholesome and very natural vlogger. Very informative without those cringy over hyped edits i used to watch. Hope u do more of this stuff. Kudos
Hey thanks and welcome! I’ve done 19 vlogs in this style so I hope you find them all interesting. I’ve also done a bunch of travel guides to various places around the world. Cheers.
I’ve been watching a lot of videos in preparation for an upcoming trip and this is one of the best - thank you
Welcome to the channel. We have heaps more like it from all over the world
I love your videos! I was in London only for a few days around Christmas time and fell in love with the city. We stayed at Dorsett City London hotel, loved it and the rooftop bar :) A plus is it is right next to the underground. We walked a lot, got to know the underground and took hop on/off buses. We ended up getting off the bus to look around the palace right before the Changing of the Guards, very cool accident ;) The Sky Garden is a must see! As soon as they released tickets for that week I got tickets during sunset to see day and night views. Gorgeous! And I also went to afternoon tea at Marriott Grosvenor House and it was AMAZING! ALL CAPS AMAZING! I have to go back for at least a week, I am so enamored of your city, and I need to all of these places in your videos :)
First time went to London with my husband last year..Definetely I’m in ❤️ with London, then this year went to Liverpool & Manchester 😍 Great vlog anyway 😍🙏🏻 Best wishes from Netherlands ☺️
Thanks for sharing this with me! I really appreciate all the information & your hard work.
We went to London 3 yrs ago and want to go back to Borough Market!!! The Tower of London and the Churchill War Rooms were my favorite tours along with Kensington Palace.
Great video! The best London travel guide I’ve seen. I will definitely be viewing again as I plan my first trip to London.
Watching this while not able to travel, but if I get to go to London again in the near future, this will definitely be my travel guide, I’ll watch it again and take notes 🇦🇺🥰
I really enjoyed watching this video , entertaining and informative at the same time Nice to see a lot of my favourite spots like Sky Garden .Going back to London for 6 days in 2 weeks from now. Pretty much done with the sightseeing years ago , so now it’s all about enjoying the city and exploring new areas.
I was born in London, and have lived in London all of my life so far (30 years!), and this video has made me fall in love with my home all over again. It's so easy to get whipped up in the hustle and bustle of commuting, and quickly getting from A to B, but this video has made me want to slow down, get out, and explore my home again, with no time limit. Thank you for this fantastic video!
coolforcats1 wow, that’s amazing to read! Glad I could help. 😊
My family and I used this video to plan much of our time in London June 2019. It was absolutely perfect. Thank you so much for making this guide!
This is by far the most useful and interesting travel channel and my favourite! God Speed!
Wow a beautifully put together video and as you say there is so much more too you could go on and on
London is such an incredible City and you need 3 weeks minimum to explore but you would still have things to do it’s got everything has London
Excellent work well done subscribed
The video quality is amazingly good. When I travel I like to see a short list of "must see" tourist places and then I just like to see what the locals like so this is a great video for both. Thank you!
I just discovered you today and I love your travel videos. This one in particular brought back awesome memories of when I studied abroad in London a few years ago. Looking forward to your next adventure! Cheers!
Hi there. Thank you for letting me know ,that’s lovely to hear. Just so you know, I don’t post that often so I hope my back catalogue can keep you entertained until the next one. Thanks again!
This is one of the best travel videos that I have seen. I first went to London about 46 years ago. What a different place it is today. I was there last year but I only went to London 2 days. I will look at all your videos as a guide for my next trip
Thanks again for your professional videos.
Thank you! Hope you enjoy my other travel videos. More to come. 😍
Amazing guide! Helped with my trip planning for March from Chicago
Thank you for sharing
Your adept way of describing places and how to reach them! I might also add that our dear departed Queen Elizabeth the second stayed that correct way to eat scones with jam first then topped with the clotted cream! Enjoy!
who's watching this in 2020!! I ❤️ LONDON
I've been watching your videos with my Mum and your videos are just something else! We love everything you post but particularly love your UK and London videos. Would love to see more!
I'm going to visit London next week. I'm so stoked and I'm glad that I found your video. It's very helpful.
I'm very dissapointed when I found out I had to get tickets for the Harry Potter Studios 4 months before actually going. Now I won't be able to go there, because its already fully booked till september! It's crazy.
Brilliant video thank you so much. I'm in a similar situation, born and raised in London and taken it all for granted and never explored. My girlfriend has only been here in London for a few years and this video will really provide us with some memorable places to visit ❤️
Woohoo! Beautiful video and guide, wish I had seen this before my trip. I was there 2 weeks ago, for a whole week. First time in London, solo. I saw about 80% of the places you have covered, on foot or tube or the exact same clipper from Greenwich to London Bridge. Some of them I literally accidentally found, and didn't know they were so famous until this video. For example St. James's park, Horse Regiment House or even Leicester Square. I spotted the Monument, when I stepped out of Bank station to take pee while travelling to Greenwich and had to change a tube, not kidding. By the way it costs 5 pounds now. I also missed a couple of places very close to me, including Borough market. I was living in a hostel just outside Borough underground station. I also did Bath for one entire day. Ohh and Citymapper ftw, I could use the Tube with so much ease just because of Citymapper.
Good job man!
My wife and I are planning to visit London later this year and your video is very detailed and I appreciate all the hard work you put into making this. I am now a subscriber for sure.
I actually just now started to plan a trip for London in February and this video was exactly what I needed to know about London. Thank you for this amazing guide!
I'm going to London 5 days on Monday and your video helped me very well to plan my trip!
I saw much videos about London, but yours is definitly the best!☺
Greetings from Germany🇩🇪
Hello from London! Thank you!!!
This is definitely my favorite video on London! I'm really excited about the upcoming Edinburgh video, the footage looked great as well 👏
Thank you! Edinburgh will be out this Sunday at 8pm uk time. If you are available, we will be having a Live Premiere when it makes it debut so hopefully you can join us for a chat when it drops. 😊
Beautiful travel guide! I agree that we usually take for granted our towns, and get bored instead of exploring them over the years. Best wishes from Romania! 💕🤗🌼
Hello Romania!!!
Loved your idea behind the videos.
Really appreciate your effort..& i have fellen in love with London again😍
This is indeed one of the best travel vlogs I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing it with us. It will help very much for my trip to London next week to find some cool places to visit.
