Driving from Edinburgh through Scotland to London. Driving all the way from Edinburgh airport to east London. Nearly whole trip, more than 6 hours drive.
I love long drives. As a 'Murrican (tm) I am lucky to be able to travel in basically any direction for hours on end. However, sometimes time and money aren't there for it and watching other people record their trips is a fantastic stand in, especially during the shut-in Covid era we're in now. That all said, I loved watching nature and terrain change around you as you traveled south along the island. Lately I have been hungry for more like this in Europe (a continent I have patently never been to) and I greatly appreciate the content. This is just what I needed. :)
I once rented a car and drove from London's Heathrow Airport on a little road trip to Blackpool, most of it traveling along the local motorways from the M25 to the M40, to the M42 the M6 Toll and the M6 and to the M55. (I took the M6 Toll to avoid the traffic congestion of downtown Birmingham). It took around three-in-a-half hours.
@Ryan 126 oh gosh, sorry I know. I wasn't meaning it to sound accusing like someone breaking lockdown- I know it is an old vid. I just meant it is great that during all this we have videos like this on youtube that can still make us feel like we been places! sorry if it seemed like I was being sarcy, I really like it.
This part of Scotland at the beginning, and the Brecks, (where I come from) looks surprisingly alike. Minus the mountains of course. I guess that must be the trees.
Found this video because I’m driving from Isle of Man (Boat) to Heysham then to Edinburgh then to London then to Liverpool back to Isle of Man next week 😊. Thanks for the video! 🍻
I live in London and the furthest i have driven up north is Newcastle we were going Edinburgh for our honeymoon way back in 1996 but only went up to Nottingham so hopefully in the near future I can get to Scotland
Very nice trip so far. Tiny traffic on three file motorway must be wonderful. I have reached England and is near Carlisle. As an old swedish anglofil I think of The Smiths song "Panic" there Carlisle is mentioned. Now I will have a break but I´m looking forward to see glimps of Lake district?
I agree. I think Lake district was the peak on this trip. I can admit I slept near Northampton somewhere but woke up in the idyllic east london. Very nice area. You are a very good driver and load up more videos please.
At the start the sky looks absolutely stunning :) Nice vid mate! Looks absolutely beautiful to take this route on the motorway :) Subbed and liked. Cheers!

@@willswomble7274 travel/waiting to airport Parking fees to airport or if you take other transport or mate wait times plus transport costs also plane tiickets are expensive im not wasting my time to get on a plane for a 50min journey
It wasn't the full journey, he skipped the start and missed out many miles when getting close to London (well Essex really). Perhaps he also took long breaks at the service areas. So I expect it was really 7 and a half hours or more for the complete trip.
you can do up to 80mph without getting a ticket. Just say your cars speedo isnt calibrated due to change of wheels. I do this whole journey in cruise control
Why, thousands of EU vehicles on UK roads every day? There is an ocean to cross somehow for an 'American made' truck so I think it would take a little time and a very big bill.
Didn’t go too fast. It’s up to 60mph if no restrictions and up to 70Mph on motorways. Sometimes you can go slightly faster all depends on traffic. Personally me always going safe and enjoying.
@@GarikLegend Just asking (as a 67 year old Scot who lives in SW England), why on Earth do you need sat nav? It is 'get on road at EDI, turn right, follow huge motorway signs West 30 miles, then stay on motorways South till you reach London/ M25??? Where on Earth are you going at the start? You need a better sat nav chum, and a much better camera.
Wills Womble very easy 😉, I’m not Scot and not Welsh and basically not British. Planning to go to Edinburgh this September again, amazing country Scotland is👍.
@@GarikLegend A game where you drive a truck around Europe. Developed by SCS Software and dropped in 2012, this game is still relevant today. As an American, the traffic panels in this game were kind of alien to me, and I came to this video to see how based on reality the background of the game is. Not disappointed. Probably the worst reason to watch a video of someone driving around.

So British island is almost as big as Java island Edinburgh to London 7 - 8 hours by car (you managed to settle 6 hours) Jakarta - Surabaya the fastest is 16 hours by car
You realise it's spelt Edinburgh... I've been there once & I live in Iceland... EDIT: Eyy it was corrected :D EDIT: I no longer live in Iceland, I moved back to the UK (where I'm from!)

For someone who wants to get to Scotland but can’t afford it yet, this is great road trip entertainment. 😂👍🏼
I totally agree
Same here
For anyone interested, they enter England at 1:26:41

1:26:36 Actually
@Skellieonabench That pictures from when i was 12 im 18 now
@Skellieonabench There's nothing wrong with english people apart from when they talk shit about scots
As an American, a video of driving on the left is so distinctive. I can fall asleep to this!
I liked the part where he was driving
Java Hub same
my favourite part whas when he was driving too
Haha
I didn't like it. I was hoping he would be stopping a bit more.
As an American with English roots who has studied the history of England and Scotland, it is wonderful to drive there while peace reigns between them.
The last actual battle between England and Scotland was a very long time ago....1513 in fact the Battle of Flodden Field.
I get halfway to London and fall asleep this great video to just relax earplugs in and take the scenery in 😊👍
1:05:05 - You busy watching the road here?
Joshua Higgins lmao
that guy was like ah what a nice ride let me drink some cofee and he accidentally spils it and gets distracted and goes to left

You're a trooper for filming the whole journey and not speeding it up!
Really grateful that someone makes a 6 hour video from Edinburgh to London, but what i can conclude is that the North will always be prettier😁
Ik, but i got bored when I watched this video, I literally watched the video from day to night. (9AM - 6PM) that video got me bored 💤 💤 😕

Curious to know this but what car did you do the drive in?
Wow! That is a really long way to drive from Scotland to London!
When you live in Russia and make twice as this trip to just visit your granny =)
Its only around 350 miles
A very impressive trip
nice
I’m enjoying the scenery
Omg i do the same journey with my friend on Google street 😅
amazing views thanks for sharing keep safe
im here sitting at home from philippines but i viewed the scotland.
thank you for your vlogs i felt like i also have long travel lol
hello garik i have just watched you edinburgh to london vid it was really good.👍❤
Crazy how much busier the south of England is to the rest of the uk
3:23:48 .............. Never understood the slogan on the bridge . . . "Pies this is your Time" . . . anyone else ??? 🌹 🍀 🌸
never understood until now, googled and find out that its a Liverpool bands name.
The pies slogan on the bridge has been painted over or removed
I love a long journey. I often go from my RN base in Portsmouth to my home town (York) on my R1 which usually takes me 3.5 hours.
On an R1? Your arse must be made of granite.
Super Like
thanks mate

Such type of vedio really attiring.
Did it take just six hours
Usually takes 8 hours so I was confused too
1:10:14 the camera moved 😲
aminur rahman maybe, was driving for more than 6 hours , needed to change memory card ;)
shut up
not
When you arrive in London, what place in London is it?
Thanks for posting, good video.
Really good really relaxing
Nice video but I was a wee bit worried on the m74 a couple of times when you drifted a bit, hitting the rumble strips.
:)))) , it was great trip back, this year I'll do another video where I'll start from London and finish in Edinburgh :)
brian chose to be on math team when he first entered high school in bellevue, washington, u.s.a.
6 hours is pretty good going! I reckoned on 7 for Glasgow to London, sometimes longer if the traffic was bad.
Or plane in 50 minutes!
Wills Womble you can add another 3 to 4 hours to that when you consider travelling to and from airports and waiting around in airports
@@willswomble7274 travel/waiting to airport
Parking fees to airport or if you take other transport or mate wait times plus transport costs
also plane tiickets are expensive im not wasting my time to get on a plane for a 50min journey
It's 10 hours from Virginia to Florida where I live in Virginia.
It wasn't the full journey, he skipped the start and missed out many miles when getting close to London (well Essex really). Perhaps he also took long breaks at the service areas. So I expect it was really 7 and a half hours or more for the complete trip.
amazing work ...god bless
I wonder how long this took to render and upload
don't even remember :)
you can do up to 80mph without getting a ticket. Just say your cars speedo isnt calibrated due to change of wheels. I do this whole journey in cruise control
Roughly what speed do you set for cruising along rural motorway? Oh and what’s the car too?
Could have put the radio on at least.
Then probably RUclips would ban it
What car is it?
You can't drive an American made truck in Britain without switching the stirring wheel to the opposite side of the vehicle cause of the blind spot.
Even trucks with right side steering wheel still have lots of blind spots 🙂
Why, thousands of EU vehicles on UK roads every day? There is an ocean to cross somehow for an 'American made' truck so I think it would take a little time and a very big bill.

What speeds were you travelling at on the smaller road from scotland and then the freeway to london?
The motorways are 70 mph and the country roads were probably mostly 50mph
Didn’t go too fast. It’s up to 60mph if no restrictions and up to 70Mph on motorways. Sometimes you can go slightly faster all depends on traffic. Personally me always going safe and enjoying.
2:59:30 what was point of switing lane?
Was you being a bit naughty and answering messages whilst driving on the M1 Tut Tut Tut LOL.
Wow! Really long way
Long was from UK to Spain. This one was quick 😉👍
You can drive over 800 miles from Beaumont, Texas to El Paso, Texas and remain in Texas. Yes, that's a day's drive.
Driving on the left is quite different from driving on the right
if you never tried then yeah :), not difficult but will require your full attention to the road :) and after an hour you will be fine ;)
I am from the Continent from France and l have been many times in UK and l have taken the Eurostar or the coach, good video so l don't know Scotland
Scotland is very beautiful with great history as well, very nice and friendly people.
@@GarikLegend In India too we drive to the left side. 😊
I see you went via the M6. I think it may have been faster travelling on the whole of the A1.
Maybe , to be honest I was following Waze (satnav) :) , whole journey was very enjoyable with no traffic.
M74/M6 is in fact more direct. You know Carlisle is east of Edinburgh? (In terms of Longitude I mean, not literally east of Edinburgh!)
Yes. heading North I’d go M1 to M18 to A1. M18 to avoid some of Leeds.

The A1 is terrible. All roundabouts, small towns and variable speed limits.
