8:42. I would also note to any tourists watching that after November 2024, the London Overground has been split up into 6 separate lines. All of them, like DLR, Trams and Elizabeth Line has parallel lines on the map instead of the solid lines for the tube. Here are the names: Liberty Line (you very likely won't use this) but it runs from Romford to Upminster and is coloured Black. Lioness Line: Euston to Watford and is coloured Yellow Mildmay Line: Clapham Junction/Richmond to Stratford and is coloured light blue Suffragette Line: Gospel Oak to Barking Riverside and is coloured green Weaver Line: Liverpool Street to Enfield Town/Chingford/Cheshunt and is coloured maroon Windrush Line: Highbury and Islington to Crystal Palace/New Cross/Clapham Junction and is coloured red. Like Jess said, you probably won't use this but it's good to know if you ever have to for some reason.
I can honestly say her videos helped me a lot last year when I was in London. Thank you for you and your team’s clear and very helpful videos. Can’t wait to revisit London.
Hi. Just for completeness … The Elizabeth line is on the Tube map because it’s there to take pressure off the central Tube lines and because it’s a railway run by Transport for London (TfL), just like TfL runs the Underground (Tube), Overground, Docklands Light Railway (DLR), River Bus (sponsored by Uber currently), Trams (located in south and south-east London boroughs where the Tube is either sparse or non-existent), the buses (cover all 607 square miles of London and some routes also go beyond London’s borders) the cable-car, the bike hire (currently sponsored by Santander - but other cycle hire bikes are available but it’s illegal to leave them where they block pedestrians’ way on pavements/sidewalks). Coach stops in London and Victoria Coach station are run by TfL. River piers (even those that also have the tourist boats, not just TfL’s river buses) in London are run by TfL. Black taxis (which are not always coloured black) are licensed by TfL. Only taxis can be hired on the street (hailed while driving on the street or from a taxi rank) and booked in advance. Other private hire vehicles can only be booked in advance as they are not taxis (so minicabs and companies such as Uber). They are also licensed by TfL but their drivers do not have to take “the Knowledge”. The National Rail trains are not run by TfL but are run by train companies for into and out of London around the whole UK (England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland). And you can use Oyster cards on the London parts of their routes as well as contactless forms of payment, just like TfL. There are 6 international airports that use London’s airspace and so have the “London” prefix, but only London Heathrow (London Borough of Hillingdon) and London City (London Borough of Newham) are located within London’s borders. There is also a heliport at Battersea (near Battersea Power Station and the new location of the USA embassy) in the London Borough of Wandsworth. Remember that e-scooters are illegal on the public highway (pavement/sidewalk and road) except in Boroughs that are part of the pilot scheme and then only within the pilot scheme area (but still never on the pavement/sidewalk) and using their hire scheme e-scooters - never privately owned ones). It’s also illegal to ride bikes on the pavement/sidewalk except within marked cycle paths or on marked shared use pavements/sidewalks - but even then pedestrians have right of way and you cannot ride fast or in any way that will put pedestrians in danger. Remember in the UK the pedestrian is the most protected public highway user and every other public highway user has an obligation to protect pedestrians. Remember no matter what you see cyclists doing, it’s illegal to go through a red traffic light (but there is no such thing as jaywalking for pedestrians). Hope that’s helpful. 😊
april/23 - my wife and i took a ferry from iirc Westminster pier to Kew Gardens (took the tube/district line to get back to our hotel at blackfriars) - fun trip on the water...
Hello Jessica Gary here from Bedford U.K. I’m youre biggest fan I’ve seen youre videos on RUclips before I’ve seen youre videos I love them keep up the great content you’re content makes my day everyday keep it up im always supporting you forever and ever❤️
When you're on the tube it's quite possible it will make the loudest and most horrible high-pitched noises you've ever heard. This is perfectly normal.
Happy belated New Year 2025 Love ❤and London how are you? Over the years while watching your RUclipsr channel here I've been studying so much of the different options when it comes to the London Transport! Cheers 🍻for sharing and I can't wait to come to London hopefully soon!!
I’m thinking walking may be one of the best ways to get around and experience the city😊…and it’s free. Plus burning the calories means eating more delicious food
I took the tube from Heathrow to downtown, cheap but even with only carry on baggage it can be uncomfortable, to be considered: it can be crowded and it’s long, if arriving from a long flight, I wouldn’t recommend it.
The river bus is not really an option in the busy season (July and August). They are just way too busy and the wait-times are ridiculous. The road buses and the tube are great though.
Hi, I will be traveling from biester village to London for 4 consecutive days for tourism, is there a weekly pass for it? What would be the cheapest way to travel. Thank you in advance.
The weekly season ticket would cost more than 4 return fares. A Network Railcard saves a 1/3 on each journey, but costs £30, so you would save about £16, in total.

Sorry the Windrush line also goes to West Croydon

Great to hear, thanks so much!!
I’m English and used to work in London for up to 30 days a year. But you always uncover something that I didn’t know, and you present it with panash.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
1:48 I'll need to try this someday
Amazing video, very professional, complete and simple. Great partner too ! Merci !
Glad you liked it!
Excellent and very helpful. Thank You!
Glad it was helpful!

Brilliant amazing great always 😊
Thank you! Cheers!
I always take the Heathrow Express. And as I book the tickets in advance, it only costs 10 £ per ride. So fast and cheap.
It's not that cheap anymore but still there are savings for advanced booking! ❤️
When you're on the tube it's quite possible it will make the loudest and most horrible high-pitched noises you've ever heard.

Happy new year!!
Hi Dear Jess I'm so happy to see You again My Beautiful American Friend.🥰😍🤗❤🤍💙💯
My best discovery is that if you have a Britrail Pass, it is valid for the Heathrow Express and Elizabeth Line. (It does count as a travel day.)
Make sure you do the math to ensure it makes sense to buy tho, I find it often doesn't really save you money!
@ True, but my trip was all around the UK.
Awesome video
Thanks!

Walking is best you see so much more

Keep in mind we don't have a "downtown" 😉 but yeah it can be tough with bags! ❤️
The river bus is not really an option in the busy season (July and August). They are just way too busy and the wait-times are ridiculous. The road buses and the tube are great though.
Go early and you can make it work!

I've heard nothing but negative things about Better Help 😬😬
I've used it myself a lot and so have friends, I think it's a fantastic service but you're welcome to have your own opinion !
You may marry me, if you promise not to cut your hair.
I'm good, thanks.
