    If you don't feel like paying money to get that view from St Paul's, go to the free rooftop terrace of the little shopping centre right next to it. Same view, but for free :-)

    • @lifestats1995
      @lifestats1995 7 лет назад +6

      sa21de or go to Sky Garden is also free!

      @h3arty 4 года назад +1

      yes to this, it's called the Madison Rooftop Bar & Restaurant located in One New Change. It's amazing at sunset time!!! bring a BLANKET or warm coat.

  • @bhargavivadeyar5197
    @bhargavivadeyar5197 4 года назад +3

    As a former Londonder I would recommend the view from the viewing gallery at the Tate Modern. Like all museums in London it is free and you get an amazing view of the whole of North London (including St. Paul's) from there. Also one of my favourite places to visit are the lanes around the Royal Courts of Justice and Chancery Lane. A very peaceful place with beautiful architecture in the City and you can also see Temple Church which was featured in The Da Vinci Code. Enjoy London! :)

  • @nr6010
    @nr6010 5 лет назад +1

    Very guide ! For sure if you’re a tourist do these and meat pie and chips all the way ! And if you are coming, please try to come for the summer as we only get sunshine, rain, and hail stones.

  • @NagleOliver
    @NagleOliver 7 лет назад +10

    I live in London and I would say that going to the viewing galleries in the Houses of Parliament is a must as well as the natural history museum. Also, take a boat trip to the outskirts of the city, along the Thames to Richmond or Hampton court!

  • @brynt82

    Wow! I am a Florida expat living in London and married to a British man. This video is impressive not only for what you know about London but also your humour and video editing skills! I actually live a few stops away from Cockfosters too! Dishoom rocks, and I regularly visit Lamb and Flag. I disagree about London Eye, but I've only been to it with press passes and haven't had to wait in line. I'm curious if you live in London? I also publish videos on my channel about London tips. This video is certainly better than some on RUclips that have ridiculously amounts of hits and have no value!

    If you are in London, get a Merlin Annual Pass. It grants you access to the London Eye, London Dungeon, Shrek's Adventure, SeaLife and Maddame Tussauds. You can also go to Thorpe Park, Legoland Windsor and Chessington World of Adventures with it. It saves time and money. The London Eye even has an Annual Pass entrance.

    Alternative viewing platform to St Paul's cathedral is Westminster Cathedral (not Westminster abbey) near Victoria station. Just 6 pounds entry and no entry fee for the cathedral which isn't that old but is awesome in its own way with fantastic mosaics and one of the world's best choirs if you're into that.

    Hi M, i'v been to London a few years ago but it was only for about 2 days before my trip to France. Yep missed some of the places u mentioned in the vid. Bummmer. Fret i shall not, I'm coming back to England spending a few more days not only London this time around. Hopefully i will get to go to the places you recommended in your video. Shall check them out. Thanx
