My wife and I visited London for 10 days on vacation (from Canada) this summer with a few side trips outside. We have been to London many times for shorter visits but it is our favourite city and so we wanted to just concentrate on London. It didn't disappoint, really a great city. I enjoy your videos - they make me want to return!
I visited with my fiancee. Didn't know about that "where's the ball scam". She thought it's fun and fell for it. She borrowed £40. Of course, she lost and then she wanted to get it back, scammed another £40. Felt bad for her and went it with £40. It's a shame that the city didn't do anything about it as that had been going on for years. Overall, we did have a good time in London
We just visited from Melbs, Australia a week ago (first time back in 40 years) & found it a delight. Gritty in places, but we're used to that here! The whole experience was amazeballs. The UK has its issues like everywhere, but we were greeted by friendly people, great service up & down the country & had a ball. My wife introduced me to your channel & we're now both subscribers. Keep up the great work :)
I hadn't been to London for years and went a few months back. We absolutely loved it. It's looking great and even my 6 year old daughter can't wait to return.
Absolutely love London. It's absolutely disgraceful for what's it become. (lots of migrant taking it over). They’re everywhere. This is getting muslim. It’s supposed to be land of Britons, English, I’m really concerned how the future would look like. Our Traditions. Even Christmas Really miss the old days before 2017
I am a 68-year-old American who lives in Colorado, USA. Very, very different from London, I assure you. You should create videos. Show us your life. Your perspective. 👍
As a Londoner of 62 years I have to say how much I love it. I have seen so many changes over the years, some for the better and a few for the worse. I remember going to London in the 70’s as a kid and most of the city would be empty at the weekends. Of course the West end and tourist attractions were always busy. As an adult I have had the privilege of going to many places the general public do not see, which has always been fascinating. Going behind doors in some tourist attractions and seeing other people trying to sneak a peek as to what may be behind them. Keep up the good work Hannah and be careful out there.
Don't worry. Trump will now save you from an Orwellian and dystopian nightmare. We now need the same in the UK. That will hopefully come at the next opportunity.
Yes your city, London, one of the best cities in the World. Even with grey skies its so beautiful!! Btw greetings from Calgary, Alberta here. You just keep doing what your doing, I love your vlogs!!! Have a wonderful week Hannah!!
A Thames cruise well worth doing, when the weather is good, is from Central London upriver to Hampton Court Palace. It's a gorgeous trip!! For the Globe, the standing tickets are fun, because the actors interact with the people in the pit. I've heard the benchs aren't comfrotable, bring a cushion. There's also the Sam Wanamaker playhouse, a replica of a 16th century theatre, used more in the winter, they light everything with candles!! Borough Market opens early in the morning, which is why they close early too.
Hello Hannah. I live in the US and like to watch your videos. Thanks for taking us around!! No, London is not finished. London has been around a very long time and seen many things. The economy is getting tight, so everyone is feeling that. Better stay indoors, drink some hot tea, and get over that cold that's coming on.
@@michaelmaness4915Our beloved and gorgeous London has been around for a bloody long time, indeed. Way way before US got it’s indenpendance back in 1783.

Hello Hannah, Friday is not only for weekend,it's meeting with the most natural and genuine person I have ever followed on RUclips.Please please, don't ever stop.❤❤❤.Hope to ever come across you ,if i visit London.
You Hannah are an absolute SCREAM!!! in these videos, I just love watching and listening to you as you’re just like a friend chatting away to all of us. I love this video since I hurt my foot and can’t get around at present, can’t wait for the Christmas videos. Thanks for everything Hannah, you are a GEM!!! 🙂👍💐xxx
Hannah is a fast talker, never at a loss for words, with a bubbly personality. My first trip to London was in December/ January of 1976/1977. My last was in 1997/1998. The city was a great mystery to me when I first visited. I remember the "wow" of seeing Parliament for the first time, at night from the university's chartered bus.
A few years ago, during the pandemic, Khan announced there would be no fireworks. Then there were fireworks anyway, at Greenwich - and all the camera crews were there to broadcast to the world. That's how much he cares about Londoners.
When i lived in greenwich i used to sit on the beach when the tide was out to read a book. Its amazingly peaceful as the riverbank blocks all the sound.
I left London. In 88 and am returning next year. My place is opposite the now sadly closed cinema on Fulham road and I have mixed feelings but London is and always be a fantastic city indeed. Neil in Fort Lauderdale ❤
Hannah, my wife and I agree that you are you and a beautiful lady for being just you. We both also agree that the walk today would be stressful and depressing for us as we live in the country and dont like crowds or loud noises. Tower Bridge is beautiful and Shakespeare’ Globe was a pleasure to see. Overall, not a walk we would do if and when we get to London. Keep being you and producing fab videos. We vote for “Xmas” shopping. Stay safe.
Great vid Hannah. I grew up in London in the 60s and 70s and I loved it. It was gritty, grubby and nowhere near as over developed as it is now. I used to love the Wimpy at Marble Arch after a visit to John Lewis. Sadly to me nowadays it feels like an overpriced, overcrowded theme park in a foreign country. I’m glad people still love it though.
It must have been amazing growing up in that time when it was such a high trust society and the music scene alone would've been thriving with gigs all over the place and clubs in zone 1 ....
I perfectly agree with you Olivia, i much prefer the old london, far too many glass buildings & as for the apartments along the Embankment, how ugly are they😩😩😩

@@le_th_Bro, what are you talking about? The guy complimented her and that's it. You shouldn't tell a young lady if she's pretty? Where did your stupid nonsense come from? Just have a nice day and stop crying 😂
Hannah please take care how rude of that person.. your brave as you could have your camera snatched 😊 I’ve never been to that part of London thank you for the tour ❤
You are awesome. Hope you feel better. This section of London reminds me of the edges of Times Square in NYC. Lots of fun to be had...just keep your eyes open and be aware of scammers.
Studying Shakespeare is not just an English thing. In the Texas schools, I attended, we studied Shakespeare in several grades. I for one loved it! And my husband has been researching his genealogy and recently found out that he is a descendent of William Shakespeare’s family.
Bear in mind that probably half of English descend from every random (fecund) individual living in England 500 years ago - let alone from their family.
My first visit to London I insisted seeing The Ripper Tour. Tour Woman was great and wow she walked out tails off but we all loved it! London has changed immensely just as most big cities have. Cozy up in your Jammie’s with a big bowl of chicken soup and a great movie. Cheers, ox💕🇺🇸
My family watches to see You, Hannah, walking us around London. Getting a bite, a tea, people watching, builds, shopping. We're easy to please because adventuring out with you is always delightful. Film whatever you like. xo
The reason you don't see anything of Borough Market is - there are signs everywhere saying "no photography" and the traders give you nasty looks if you try to take a picture. I know - I tried. So I just don't go there any more.
Hannah be careful! Glad there were lads to help sort him out! It’s like hanging with my London buddy! We did the Ripper tour and will say they were very entertaining. The way people had to live was so sad. Sleeping against ropes!
Thanks Hannah, There's so many videos and comments slagging off London, it's nice to see it presented as in a positive light. London has changed drastically over the years but I still love it ❤
Hasn't changed a iota. Show me one thing that wasn't there a quarter century ago. I'll help you: people claiming that London has changed. We didn't have these people before.
Hannah - 5pm closure saved you. The chocolate on the strawberries turns rock hard and becomes inedible - rip off! Love that part of London, always something interesting to see at Southbank been there many many times. Love your videos x
Definitely one of your best videos! Super shots of the tourist spots. Very helpful for those unfamiliar with London. London has certainly changed over the last three decades...
I am an old geezer and I genuinely admire any skateboarder. Their sense of balance and utter obliviousness to physical harm/death are qualities I admire. I love to people watch and I dearly love when you take me in-hand and show me your world. 👍
Happy Friday, Hannah! Bless you, such a knob,who cannot mind their business. Your vlog is amazing. It's nice to see some of the areas my son and I visited back in May of 2023. You are always a pleasure to watch. Mix of Christmas and regular vlog plz. Miss the shops😊 Thank you for this excellent video.
Hi Hannah! How can you look so good, when you feel so rough? Hope you got some good nosh, a couple of Para's, and cosy back home! You do not deserve to be so harassed like that-you're a real trooper to just carry on! Loved what you said about Shakespeare and being traumatised by studying Macbeth! Back in the day, I saw some obscure Shakespearean play at The National; I was SO bored, my teeth ached! Anyway, I hope you feel better soon! More London tours for me-but I'll still watch, whatever! Love sue xxx
I went London for a week from Birmingham and let me tell u I was pleasantly surprised by the kindness of ppl and the quality of food. A lot of choice, beautiful architecture, quick transport, surprising value for money-only bad thing was weather
@@jenlin6715 Couldn’t agree more. Way Better than Paris when it comes like you mentioned kindness and generosity. It’s always bad weather there. Cloudy and foggy Well the Sun never rises in French Empire 😆 While the Sun never sets in the British Empire 💪🇬🇧🟥👑🦁🌹💂💂♂️🚢🐎🎡🚂🍵🕰👊 The Frenchies are not helpful
I had a lot more comments and compliments-at one point I was getting freaked out by the kindness because I had my city girl game face on. It’s really about the energy you give out!
That’s good,I get so sick of the Londoners/Southerners are unfriendly and the Northerners are wonderful comments,city people tend to be from everywhere and are more guarded on the surface,but I’ve found generally helpful and kind,but people are often more chatty and approachable the further out you get North or South,it’s just the way of big city life anywhere.😊
There´s a lot of London bashing going on on YT, but I still think the positives outweigh the negatives (but keep your wits about you!). Well done, Hannah !!
Hi Hannah, I personally prefer that part of London in the very early morning, when I feel it has been returned to me. I give it back to the tourists to enjoy for the rest of the day. I wouldn’t say I actually dislike it at anytime, I just don’t like having to share it with too many other people.
I think the Severn is the longest river in England? But I digress. I've done this exact walk so many times, I could probably walk it blindfold! Love it. With regard to fish and chips, I never saw Gravy in a takeaway anywhere in the South East until fairly recently. First time I saw it was in Wales. As for ice cream, £4 is not too bad for a 99, I've been to some seaside towns recently and they were priced between £3 - £3.50. Anyway, enough rambling from me!
@@HannahRicketts Hi Hannah, as has been pointed out you were technically correct as the Severn also flows through Wales! The Severn is longer than the Thames though.
Hi Hannah. Thanks for your videos. great fun and makes me miss UK. Although the place seems to be going through some not so fun changes. I'll wait until things settle before I make a trip. Keep up the good fun and the great vibes. Andrew from South Africa
Definitely Christmas shopping! This walk brought back memories of my visit to London. We stayed in the hotel next to Tower bridge and walked across it at sunset for some lovely pictures. There was a brewery directly across from the hotel…..not very picturesque. London certainly has changed since. Thanks for another nice walk…well done!
I’ve only been able to visit London twice in my life. It was a lifelong dream of mine to live there; at 64, I don’t think it’s going to pan out but if I had the means, believe me, I would live out the rest of my days there. Thank you for the ability to visit vicariously twice a week!❤
Hi Hannah, your Tower Bridge vlog was indeed one of the best. The skyscrapers, HMS Belfast and Tower Bridge look marvelous by low light. Thanks for sharing and very much looking forward for 2 vlogs per week!🙂
Hubby says Thank You for filming HMS Belfast. Her paint scheme is from November 1942 to July 1944 called Admiralty Disruptive Camouflage Type 25. Loved your jacket. Looked so cozy to wear.
Evening Hannah thank you for the walk. I did the same walk with my best friend who came up from Somerset but we had earlier afternoon tea at County Hall and drank a lot of sparkling wine/ champagne and we were both tipsy we had a great walk along. I couldn't live anywhere else but London as I love it! Thank you Hannah
We both love you Hannah. We’re from Singapore and been to London twice the last two years. Your channel is definitely our pick for getting up to date references into planning our trip. We love and intensely appreciate you opening up London the way you do. If only we get to meet for coffee the next time we’re there. Lots of love all the way from the other side of the globe from Singapore. ❤️
My daughter and I were in hysterics when you looked at the dead rat, commented, and carried on 🤣🤣. We had to rewatch it multiple times. I can't wait for the Christmas vlogs, I love Christmas lights and decorations🤩🤩
London has been, still is, and will forever be one of the great cities of the world. The troubles they have can be found in New York, Paris, Milan, Rome, Madrid… this list goes on.
Yet not in Tokyo, Seoul, Singapore, Ho Chi Minh City, Taipei, Shanghai, Budapest, Krakow, Warsaw, Moscow, Leningrad, Ulan Batur, Mexico City etc... lots of other places too, I wonder what the difference could be?
My partner and I are planning to move to London next year from NZ, and your videos have really helped me feel more excited than nervous about the move!! On your Shakespeare question, I also studied it at secondary school here, but not every school or class teaches the same material!
Hannah, (IMO) NOWONE else comes close to 🌟 You for showcasing London's most iconic 🎁 gifting stores, over the🎄 festive season - You are, for sure, THE BEST! 👏✨ (💖'd the earrings, btw.. Paired beautifully with your jacket 👌✨). SOO looking forward to your festive vlogs! 😍✨
Too bad that the days are getting shorter. Looking forward to the Christmas vlogs, and having two videos a week again. Always enjoy the tips about how to stay safe in London as well.
@notreyf I wasn't being negative! Just giving the truth & the truth can be hard to swallow. The jealousy the envy that people have against each other is absurd. Some have hate towards you for no reason 😕 which is bizarre 🤔 as ever. This is why I say the world 🌎 needs more than a hug 🫂 it needs a miracle! I'm so sorry if you took something wrong because that was not my intention!!! Cheers 🍻 . . . . .
Love to read about folks who are loyal to their city. I've only visited London once many years ago but I have roots here... my grandfather was born in London and my aunt lived in Ealing. I really want to come back and visit again.
@@bevo.g Horrible human beings say horrible things. Never expect a hateful racist to have any human decency because they suffer from narcissistic personality disorder and they're irreparably broken (by their own parents failing to love them unconditionally). They run around the world working hard to put others down so they can keep their ever-deflating, fragile ego inflated. THAT is how irreparably damaged a racist is. Imagine, feeling so worthless that they only way you can feel better is by tearing someone else down?
Hi again Hannah, a very good “ warning” and lookout for yourselves blog ,as that walk vastly improves after you pass under the Waterloo bridge and Festival Hall . Perhaps a good idea would be to recommend visitors to enter the Southwark catherdral , ( and cafe ) , that is beside the Borough Mkt. too! There are so many good walk tours available now , that have qualified “ Green card” guides to checkout the history of these areas you mentioned, especially good are the walks in the “ City” and business districts , near the Monument tower memorial for the great fire of London . ❤
Hannah, you really know how to do an amazing vlog! I enjoyed it so much! Wow, while tour guides usually spend minutes and hours in one place or another, telling about the local history, you just can manage to walk long distances by foot showing us almost the entire centre of London, and while you talk to us about history, stories and interesting things, you also give us good suggestions on the dos and don´ts. You're a 1,000,000 out of 10! I always get so impressed. That's why you're the best vlogger ever! I love your channel! Wish you a wonderful weekend! 😘💐🌹🌷💂🇬🇧
I really enjoyed my trip on the London eye. You must admit it is a lovely city. Great views. Impressive sand sculpture. Agree lovely sunset. I did not enjoy Shakespeare at school because I could never understand it even with the cheat sheets. Wow the ceiling at Hays is incredible. I am with you, moving the clocks forward is silly. Oh beautiful tower bridge. Thanks Hannah. Really enjoyed the vlog. Enjoy your weekend.
haha She Lives in a London Bubble Not REAL Go East London walk from Bethnal Green to Bow Via Whitechapel, Whitechapel is such a Sh,, hole the Olympic committee re routed the traffic away so tourists don't see Whitechapel And all its horrors
I was considering/ contemplating coming to London ( having given it a miss for the last ten years) your vlog was the deciding factor there’s really nothing there worth the expense.
Thank you Hannah for this tour by the river. It's been longer than I care too remember when I last did the riverside walk. Certainly not when it has become so buzzy, full of sights, sounds, lovely smells too no doubt and people. I agree. I too am proud to fly the flag for London. The Greatest City in the Whole Wide World!!! Have a great week ahead and see you next Friday xx
I’m a boomer and remember, as a child, when there was Cobb the Butcher at the upper end of Sloane Street (complete with sawdust on the floor) and - over the road - Mac fisheries. Now, it is ultra expensive schickimicki stores with security guards on the door in dark glasses, ear pieces dangling down. In short, real people have been expelled from central London and that’s why I hate my home town and live out in the country now.
LOVE this week’s vlog Hannah. Lots of fun and a great walk along the river. Full of life! We like both X-Mas and other. 🎄Thank you for everything you do! 👍
Thanks Hannah! Used to go down those awful offset steps everyday on the way to work at More London. On our last trip into town we were also told to go forth and multiply by politely declining a gentleman trying to sell individual Mr Kipling cakes out for a box for £1 each. 😡
I was in London this summer with my kids. It was my first time back in 20 years. I’m sorry but Westminster bridge was like a 3rd world country. Scammers galore. It was nasty. All big cities have problems I get it. But. It was nasty. But we loved our trip!! I love London!!!
Your camera took beautiful low light film. Some iconic things in London are a must. I think your vlog is great because you truly do love London (the good the bad and the rude) and that feeling shines through. Looking forward to your Christmas videos.
I remember London when people wore Bowler hats and had a walking umbrella. I also remember the Mary Quaint Shop by Libertys and the Punk Rockers on Kings Road. Daylight saving I was told was so that children didnt go to school in the dark which was dangerous as back in the 70s kids walked to school not many people had cars, I guess children are driven to school now so I guess it doesnt make sense now. Thank you nice to see how London looks now. Its an always changing city i guess. Myself, parents, grandparents and great and great great and great great great grandparents all lived there so when i see your videos it reminds or things they said about places and what they did there. all my gone now including me, nobody left in London now just the memories just about. enjoy it it may not be forever you can live there. x thank you for your videos x
That time was certainly longer than a quarter century ago. Because nothing has changed about London since then. Walking umbrellas are a good thing but the stores simply don't sell them anymore… like shirts with breast pockets. The stores blame customers for not buying these things… but how can customers buy them when the stores don't sell them??? I'd love a walking umbrella ☔ - not for walking but simply because I need the hooked handle to hang it when it's dirty and wet. A simple thing - impossible to buy in Great Britain and Ireland. Now that's a conspiracy!
I think that London is a very beautiful city but every city has it's good and bad sides in it. I enjoyed the tour here of the city and listening to your reactions about it have a wonderful weekend take care and until next time thank you Lady Hannah.☕🙏🇬🇧

The city was a great mystery to me when I first visited. I remember the "wow" of seeing Parliament for the first time, at night from the university's chartered bus.
A mayor who cared about the city and it's population instead of his image would improve London immeasurably
Unfortunately it goes far higher than the mayor
1 man ruined London, his name is Khan. London was a better place until he rocked up.
@@LeeJohn70 Very well said and true.
That's every mayor everywhere in the US, too.

@@le_th_Bro, what are you talking about? The guy complimented her and that's it. You shouldn't tell a young lady if she's pretty? Where did your stupid nonsense come from? Just have a nice day and stop crying 😂
Both please! Can't believe Christmas is around the corner, my dear furry Hannah! 🦁😅
In America, we read Shakespeare in High School too. Can not wait for your Christmas videos!
It's not like you have an American alternative to him.
Why can’t the peddy cabs be shut down? Sounds like a massive scam and they are all. Over London. Thanks again for showing us around x
They may be legal, but I'm sure the noise they make with their "sound systems" constitute a nuisance!
@@MyRackley Amazing hypocrisy of car owners complaining about the "noise" of rickshaws. 🤡
Hannah please take care how rude of that person.. your brave as you could have your camera snatched 😊 I’ve never been to that part of London thank you for the tour ❤
I believe that the beautiful young lady could hold her own in a fight. I most definitely wouldn't bet against her. 😂
You've never been to Westminster??? What type of "London" have you been to? 😳
You are awesome. Hope you feel better. This section of London reminds me of the edges of Times Square in NYC. Lots of fun to be had...just keep your eyes open and be aware of scammers.
It’s a lot nicer than the edges of Times Square though.
Studying Shakespeare is not just an English thing. In the Texas schools, I attended, we studied Shakespeare in several grades. I for one loved it! And my husband has been researching his genealogy and recently found out that he is a descendent of William Shakespeare’s family.
At least It's bloody better than French. Mozart
Why. ??
Bear in mind that probably half of English descend from every random (fecund) individual living in England 500 years ago - let alone from their family.
We also studied Shakespeare in high school here in Canada

My first visit to London I insisted seeing The Ripper Tour. Tour Woman was great and wow she walked out tails off but we all loved it! London has changed immensely just as most big cities have. Cozy up in your Jammie’s with a big bowl of chicken soup and a great movie. Cheers, ox💕🇺🇸
My family watches to see You, Hannah, walking us around London. Getting a bite, a tea, people watching, builds, shopping. We're easy to please because adventuring out with you is always delightful.
Film whatever you like. xo
The reason you don't see anything of Borough Market is - there are signs everywhere saying "no photography" and the traders give you nasty looks if you try to take a picture. I know - I tried. So I just don't go there any more.
Thanks!
Thanks for the support!!
Hannah be careful! Glad there were lads to help sort him out! It’s like hanging with my London buddy! We did the Ripper tour and will say they were very entertaining. The way people had to live was so sad. Sleeping against ropes!
My favorites are the Christmas shopping and tea service videos!
Thanks Hannah,
There's so many videos and comments slagging off London, it's nice to see it presented as in a positive light.
London has changed drastically over the years but I still love it ❤
its fake. its all built on fake property speculation.
London is a beautiful city as far as cities go. Ever changing but beautiful never the less.
@@martinwebb1681 its so hallowed. look - behold. a crow @@
Hasn't changed a iota. Show me one thing that wasn't there a quarter century ago. I'll help you: people claiming that London has changed. We didn't have these people before.
@@brexitgreens affordable housing.
Thank you Hannah for a great video as always, your camera works a treat capturing the colour and contrast of the buildings and the river ❤ big hugs x
Hannah - 5pm closure saved you. The chocolate on the strawberries turns rock hard and becomes inedible - rip off! Love that part of London, always something interesting to see at Southbank been there many many times. Love your videos x
Definitely one of your best videos! Super shots of the tourist spots. Very helpful for those unfamiliar with London. London has certainly changed over the last three decades...
I am an old geezer and I genuinely admire any skateboarder. Their sense of balance and utter obliviousness to physical harm/death are qualities I admire. I love to people watch and I dearly love when you take me in-hand and show me your world. 👍
who sayd you old geezer?😕
Happy Friday, Hannah! Bless you, such a knob,who cannot mind their business. Your vlog is amazing. It's nice to see some of the areas my son and I visited back in May of 2023. You are always a pleasure to watch. Mix of Christmas and regular vlog plz. Miss the shops😊 Thank you for this excellent video.
Hi Hannah! How can you look so good, when you feel so rough? Hope you got some good nosh, a couple of Para's, and cosy back home! You do not deserve to be so harassed like that-you're a real trooper to just carry on! Loved what you said about Shakespeare and being traumatised by studying Macbeth! Back in the day, I saw some obscure Shakespearean play at The National; I was SO bored, my teeth ached! Anyway, I hope you feel better soon! More London tours for me-but I'll still watch, whatever! Love sue xxx
You always make me feel like a tourist, without leaving home, we are lucky to have the best London guide... CHEERS!!!
I went London for a week from Birmingham and let me tell u I was pleasantly surprised by the kindness of ppl and the quality of food. A lot of choice, beautiful architecture, quick transport, surprising value for money-only bad thing was weather
And nice accents 😂
@@jenlin6715 Couldn’t agree more. Way Better than Paris when it comes like you mentioned kindness and generosity. It’s always bad weather there. Cloudy and foggy
Well the Sun never rises in French Empire 😆
While the Sun never sets in the British Empire 💪🇬🇧🟥👑🦁🌹💂💂♂️🚢🐎🎡🚂🍵🕰👊
The Frenchies are not helpful
Yeah right lol
I had a lot more comments and compliments-at one point I was getting freaked out by the kindness because I had my city girl game face on. It’s really about the energy you give out!
That’s good,I get so sick of the Londoners/Southerners are unfriendly and the Northerners are wonderful comments,city people tend to be from everywhere and are more guarded on the surface,but I’ve found generally helpful and kind,but people are often more chatty and approachable the further out you get North or South,it’s just the way of big city life anywhere.😊
Thanks Hannah for another great one, yes the Thames cruise should be on your wish list. The sun from the south of France is on its way.
Hannah 🎉🎉 Friday’s are your day ! Love visiting London 😊. London is a must go to city if you travel overseas from the USA 🇺🇸. Lovely video ❤
Thank you Hannah . You are so tongue in cheek . Love your remarks . You’re a brilliant guide . Your confidence is so awesome.
There´s a lot of London bashing going on on YT, but I still think the positives outweigh the negatives (but keep your wits about you!). Well done, Hannah !!
Spent 10 days in London in September. Walked along the south bank late at night with no issues. London is so beautiful at night.
Hi Hannah, I personally prefer that part of London in the very early morning, when I feel it has been returned to me. I give it back to the tourists to enjoy for the rest of the day. I wouldn’t say I actually dislike it at anytime, I just don’t like having to share it with too many other people.
Very subtly put, John. 🙂
Both types of videos please! Love seeing London through your channel! A big wave from Northern California, USA. 🤗
I think the Severn is the longest river in England? But I digress. I've done this exact walk so many times, I could probably walk it blindfold! Love it. With regard to fish and chips, I never saw Gravy in a takeaway anywhere in the South East until fairly recently. First time I saw it was in Wales. As for ice cream, £4 is not too bad for a 99, I've been to some seaside towns recently and they were priced between £3 - £3.50. Anyway, enough rambling from me!
The Severn is the longest river in the UK, not England, as it meanders through England and Wales. Hannah is correct.
Yeah my bad
@@HannahRicketts Hi Hannah, as has been pointed out you were technically correct as the Severn also flows through Wales! The Severn is longer than the Thames though.
Hi Hannah. Thanks for your videos. great fun and makes me miss UK. Although the place seems to be going through some not so fun changes. I'll wait until things settle before I make a trip. Keep up the good fun and the great vibes. Andrew from South Africa
Definitely Christmas shopping! This walk brought back memories of my visit to London. We stayed in the hotel next to Tower bridge and walked across it at sunset for some lovely pictures. There was a brewery directly across from the hotel…..not very picturesque. London certainly has changed since. Thanks for another nice walk…well done!
That would've been the Anchor brewery (Courage), which closed in 1981.
Always enjoy you weekly excursions Hannah..looking forward to seeing you on Friday..
No Hannah, the river Severn is the longest in England.
That's right, the Thames is the second longest.
The Thames is the dirtiest!
The Severn passes through England and Wales so therefore is the longest river in the UK not in England
My bad!
Why do I keep hearing the east enders theme when I see the map of the thames? Lol
I’ve only been able to visit London twice in my life. It was a lifelong dream of mine to live there; at 64, I don’t think it’s going to pan out but if I had the means, believe me, I would live out the rest of my days there. Thank you for the ability to visit vicariously twice a week!❤
Hi Hannah, your Tower Bridge vlog was indeed one of the best. The skyscrapers, HMS Belfast and Tower Bridge look marvelous by low light. Thanks for sharing and very much looking forward for 2 vlogs per week!🙂
Hannah, great videos and good to warn about awful rickshaw.
Love your videos Hannah!! They are helping me plan on things to see and do when I come in April
Highly advise the full thames river cruise,london zoo and see at least one show on the west end. Don't forget, most museums are free
Hubby says Thank You for filming HMS Belfast. Her paint scheme is from November 1942 to July 1944 called Admiralty Disruptive Camouflage Type 25. Loved your jacket. Looked so cozy to wear.
Evening Hannah thank you for the walk. I did the same walk with my best friend who came up from Somerset but we had earlier afternoon tea at County Hall and drank a lot of sparkling wine/ champagne and we were both tipsy we had a great walk along. I couldn't live anywhere else but London as I love it! Thank you Hannah
We both love you Hannah. We’re from Singapore and been to London twice the last two years. Your channel is definitely our pick for getting up to date references into planning our trip. We love and intensely appreciate you opening up London the way you do. If only we get to meet for coffee the next time we’re there. Lots of love all the way from the other side of the globe from Singapore. ❤️
My daughter and I were in hysterics when you looked at the dead rat, commented, and carried on 🤣🤣. We had to rewatch it multiple times. I can't wait for the Christmas vlogs, I love Christmas lights and decorations🤩🤩
why do you need wait?you can go to cristmas shops right now-They have Already opened
@@letun100 I don't live in London, so I can't go
@@anaalves3658 well,try go to london for christmas
Oh I would love to see inside the Globe! I just loved this walk! Thank you!
Thanks Hannah another view of London that isn't known .Relax and enjoy your w end😄🎆
Thank you for the London tours you provide me. There is no better guide, Hannah! 💗
London has been, still is, and will forever be one of the great cities of the world. The troubles they have can be found in New York, Paris, Milan, Rome, Madrid… this list goes on.
It only means that all of those cities are sh!tholes these days, not that London is great.
Дубай лучший ✋
The troubles start with a word "mass" and end with "migration" from the sh**hole countries
Yet not in Tokyo, Seoul, Singapore, Ho Chi Minh City, Taipei, Shanghai, Budapest, Krakow, Warsaw, Moscow, Leningrad, Ulan Batur, Mexico City etc... lots of other places too, I wonder what the difference could be?
@Jonny-o3l I wonder if it has got something to do with certain colours?
My partner and I are planning to move to London next year from NZ, and your videos have really helped me feel more excited than nervous about the move!! On your Shakespeare question, I also studied it at secondary school here, but not every school or class teaches the same material!
Thank you another great Friday🖐🇺🇸
Hannah, (IMO) NOWONE else comes close to 🌟 You for showcasing London's most iconic 🎁 gifting stores, over the🎄 festive season - You are, for sure, THE BEST! 👏✨ (💖'd the earrings, btw.. Paired beautifully with your jacket 👌✨).
SOO looking forward to your festive vlogs! 😍✨
Great vlog Hannah! London will always be my favourite city. Great sites of the city!
Too bad that the days are getting shorter. Looking forward to the Christmas vlogs, and having two videos a week again. Always enjoy the tips about how to stay safe in London as well.
The world needs a hug right now❣️❣️❣️
P.S. I'm sending anyone reading this all my love and positive vibes
Thank you for the love and the positive vibes. We need them. I do have faith that this debacle will be rectified. It was so clearly a phony election
I needed that hug. Thank you
The world 🌎 needs a miracle 🙏 ✨️ !!!
Love and positive vibes to you too xx
@notreyf I wasn't being negative! Just giving the truth & the truth can be hard to swallow. The jealousy the envy that people have against each other is absurd. Some have hate towards you for no reason 😕 which is bizarre 🤔 as ever. This is why I say the world 🌎 needs more than a hug 🫂 it needs a miracle! I'm so sorry if you took something wrong because that was not my intention!!! Cheers 🍻 . . . . .
im black but Born and rasied in london I will never leave. Im a proud londoner. I rather help fix the UK and contribute to the UK instead of leaving.
Love to read about folks who are loyal to their city. I've only visited London once many years ago but I have roots here... my grandfather was born in London and my aunt lived in Ealing. I really want to come back and visit again.
si tu veux améliorer Londres, quitte le justement.
No more beautiful, just like Paris now dirty.
@@LobservateurKmer-v8i That's a horrible thing to say!
@@bevo.g Horrible human beings say horrible things. Never expect a hateful racist to have any human decency because they suffer from narcissistic personality disorder and they're irreparably broken (by their own parents failing to love them unconditionally).
They run around the world working hard to put others down so they can keep their ever-deflating, fragile ego inflated. THAT is how irreparably damaged a racist is.
Imagine, feeling so worthless that they only way you can feel better is by tearing someone else down?
Hi again Hannah, a very good “ warning” and lookout for yourselves blog ,as that walk vastly improves after you pass under the Waterloo bridge and Festival Hall . Perhaps a good idea would be to recommend visitors to enter the Southwark catherdral , ( and cafe ) , that is beside the Borough Mkt. too! There are so many good walk tours available now , that have qualified “ Green card” guides to checkout the history of these areas you mentioned, especially good are the walks in the “ City” and business districts , near the Monument tower memorial for the great fire of London . ❤
I spotted Southwark Cathedral in the background of the video, surprised Hannah didn't mention it.
Hannah, you really know how to do an amazing vlog! I enjoyed it so much! Wow, while tour guides usually spend minutes and hours in one place or another, telling about the local history, you just can manage to walk long distances by foot showing us almost the entire centre of London, and while you talk to us about history, stories and interesting things, you also give us good suggestions on the dos and don´ts. You're a 1,000,000 out of 10! I always get so impressed. That's why you're the best vlogger ever! I love your channel! Wish you a wonderful weekend! 😘💐🌹🌷💂🇬🇧
Be so careful we don’t want anything happening to our sweet girl!🙏😘💕
You handled the creepy guy so well. A slag? Never!
I really enjoyed my trip on the London eye. You must admit it is a lovely city. Great views. Impressive sand sculpture. Agree lovely sunset. I did not enjoy Shakespeare at school because I could never understand it even with the cheat sheets. Wow the ceiling at Hays is incredible. I am with you, moving the clocks forward is silly. Oh beautiful tower bridge. Thanks Hannah. Really enjoyed the vlog. Enjoy your weekend.
Lovely video, you look as beautiful as always. Take care.
Hannah, you are providing a service for people interested in visiting London. You are showing the real London.
haha She Lives in a London Bubble Not REAL Go East London walk from Bethnal Green to Bow Via Whitechapel, Whitechapel is such a Sh,, hole the Olympic committee re routed the traffic away so tourists don't see Whitechapel And all its horrors
That's tourist London, NOT real London. She doesn't want to film real London as the likelihood of putting her life on the line is huge.
@@jsollosospeaking as a Londoner, you need to chill out 😂
@sophie4877 Londoners don't chill out, it's the rush zone and overly expensive.
no it is not real london and everyone from there khnow about☝
Thanks for sharing Hannah!
I was considering/ contemplating coming to London ( having given it a miss for the last ten years) your vlog was the deciding factor there’s really nothing there worth the expense.
Hi Hannah ❤nice little tour😊police siren,their probably going to lunch😂😂
Thank you Hannah for this tour by the river. It's been longer than I care too remember when I last did the riverside walk. Certainly not when it has become so buzzy, full of sights, sounds, lovely smells too no doubt and people.
I agree. I too am proud to fly the flag for London. The Greatest City in the Whole Wide World!!!
Have a great week ahead and see you next Friday xx
I’m a boomer and remember, as a child, when there was Cobb the Butcher at the upper end of Sloane Street (complete with sawdust on the floor) and - over the road - Mac fisheries. Now, it is ultra expensive schickimicki stores with security guards on the door in dark glasses, ear pieces dangling down. In short, real people have been expelled from central London and that’s why I hate my home town and live out in the country now.
I have been to London Bridge. Contrary to popular opinion, it is not falling down. Looking forward to your Christmas vlogs, Hannah!!!
Hannah is on a roll with this one.... LOVE IT. The honesty is needed. Tourism Corporations hide the truth and realities. #manageyourexpectations
LOVE this week’s vlog Hannah. Lots of fun and a great walk along the river. Full of life!
We like both X-Mas and other. 🎄Thank you for everything you do! 👍
Thanks Hannah! Used to go down those awful offset steps everyday on the way to work at More London. On our last trip into town we were also told to go forth and multiply by politely declining a gentleman trying to sell individual Mr Kipling cakes out for a box for £1 each. 😡
I love your voice, your laugh and your accent. The way you send yourself up and above all your comments. 👏
I was in London this summer with my kids. It was my first time back in 20 years. I’m sorry but Westminster bridge was like a 3rd world country. Scammers galore. It was nasty. All big cities have problems I get it. But. It was nasty. But we loved our trip!! I love London!!!
So nothing changed.
@@brexitgreensI thought it was worse. But that area is a shiz hole. But what can ya do. Kids needed to see the sights.
Your camera took beautiful low light film. Some iconic things in London are a must. I think your vlog is great because you truly do love London (the good the bad and the rude) and that feeling shines through. Looking forward to your Christmas videos.
I remember London when people wore Bowler hats and had a walking umbrella. I also remember the Mary Quaint Shop by Libertys and the Punk Rockers on Kings Road. Daylight saving I was told was so that children didnt go to school in the dark which was dangerous as back in the 70s kids walked to school not many people had cars, I guess children are driven to school now so I guess it doesnt make sense now. Thank you nice to see how London looks now. Its an always changing city i guess. Myself, parents, grandparents and great and great great and great great great grandparents all lived there so when i see your videos it reminds or things they said about places and what they did there. all my gone now including me, nobody left in London now just the memories just about. enjoy it it may not be forever you can live there. x thank you for your videos x
They have to come home in the dark instead!
That time was certainly longer than a quarter century ago. Because nothing has changed about London since then.
Walking umbrellas are a good thing but the stores simply don't sell them anymore… like shirts with breast pockets.
The stores blame customers for not buying these things… but how can customers buy them when the stores don't sell them???
I'd love a walking umbrella ☔ - not for walking but simply because I need the hooked handle to hang it when it's dirty and wet. A simple thing - impossible to buy in Great Britain and Ireland. Now that's a conspiracy!
It goes right back to WW1.
@@janebaker966 before that to Victorian times.
@@amandadavenport1994 oh yes even worse
Loved this one! Both London and Christmas. Please. You look gorgeous! We look forward to seeing your vlogs.
I think that London is a very beautiful city but every city has it's good and bad sides in it. I enjoyed the tour here of the city and listening to your reactions about it have a wonderful weekend take care and until next time thank you Lady Hannah.☕🙏🇬🇧
I love that walk, especially at dusk. Thanks for the tour, Hannah. I’m looking forward to the Christmas vids!
Loved seeing London.
Good or bad. It's one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
Thank you Hannah.
Could not agree more. There is more to the U. K, than just London, but a visit to the U. K necessitates visiting London for sure.
