      Love your channel! It is so well filmed, edited, and so perfectly informative. Which is why i have a travel question! Im going to England, primarily London, on my own for 2 weeks in July. Are there restaurants or experiences I should avoid being a solo person? Or are there things i really SHOULD do since I'm only 1 person. Thanks so much!!

    • @SuitcaseMonkey
      @SuitcaseMonkey  2 года назад

      Hi there. Thanks. Hmm. Nothing specific to avoid. There aren’t any super serious ‘do not go there’ areas in London but all the usual city tips still apply at dark when alone. As for things to do, check out my museum video and I’m doing a good market video next month. Everything else featured on this channel works the same as 1 or 2 people. Enjoy!

    I visited London last month for the BTS concert lol unfortunately my dumb friend planned our trip way too tight so we didn't get to see anything of the city which is why I just booked a second trip in December. I love this city, it'll be my third time there but this time I want to make sure to make the most out of it and this video is a gem and exactly what I was looking for! I've also seen your other London tour guide videos but I was searching for not so touristy places where you can enjoy that typical London vibe, the architecture and views. you really nailed it with this video, thank you for the great tips!
