It's refreshing to see a local's perspective on the city's best-kept secrets - a true insider's guide to London's hidden wonders! Thank you for sharing your top 10 favorite secret attractions with us. Can't wait to embark on these off-the-beaten-path adventures! 🏰🔍🇬🇧
Some great suggestions here. Thanks. I'm visiting London twice this year. Once solo for 2 days and again with a friend for 3. I'm staying in Kensington for the solo trip so not far away from the Churchill Pub. Better yet, the hostel I'll be staying in is in Holland Park, so I'll literally be feet away from Kyoto Garden. The vaults looks interesting too, so will probably check that out. As for the second trip, me and my friend are drinkers who love unique puns and bars. I'm looking for some interesting pubs and bars and the Mayor of Scaredy Cat Town sounds perfect, and I'll definitely check out your other video
The Greenwich foot tunnel is scary 😟 . I remember the first time I had to use it to go to work, early in the morning 5am. I was absolutely petrified. Lol. I imagined a scary dragon was about to chase me. It also had a scary echo Lol. I
Such a great video Joe, I live in London and while I've seen/been to a few of those mentioned there were some revelations that inspired me to find them or even revisit. And just to confirm they really are great places to go to, away from the usual places that are associated with London.
COOL VIDEO! Now Christmas 2022, I'm coming to live in the UK for the next 7 months as my top of the Bucket List item. Resting an airbnb 2 months in Eastborne (2 months off Island in Dublin) then 3 months in London. Curtis, 56, retired U.S. Navy. I'll look for these places in your video.
Thanks for these great suggestions. We're headed back to London next year and we'll definitely visit these spots. I would add the Churchill War Rooms and the Royal Observatory Greenwich, both so interesting.
Been to London twice (I'm from Australia) and plan visiting again soon. Done most of the tourist traps so now ready for something different and your video has given me some great places to see. Thank you.
Thanks for your great suggestions. I was in London last month. I went to Greenwich, it's really an amazing place. We had a guide that told us about the history from the stunning architectures and their's queens and kings. The others tipps , I'll visit in my next visit to London. You got a new subscriber.😊
Thanks so much. You did a great job. Very informative and interesting. It would be great if you could add more photos to show each place. But otherwise fantastic and it really helped us as we're going to visit soon.
Really interesting video, Joe. Will check a few of these hidden gems on my next video. Just one thing - you forget to mention where Kyoto Gardens is located. OK, Google, here I come....
Blimey, well done... next time I'm in the smoke I'll check out that sky garden... btw tell your viewers not to be ripped off in the pubs, etc near tourist attractions... just walk away a bit and ask a local. I used to work in the City (Square mile) and got stung once... there's plenty of reasonable places if you're in the know x
Liked and subscribed first time watched your awesome video which just popped up today, I am from US, never been to London yet except airport transit. Would you suggest some best parks in London. Cheers 👍
Unusual and interesting…Tku can u recommend a tour guide for a fit73 old first time visitor to London who wants to explore your hidden gems in early July?
I attempted to use the Greenwich tunnel once when I missed the boat. The creepy never ending spiral stairs on the way down freaked me out and I had to get out ASAP. Its was silent and isolated and I had no idea what would meet me when I got to the bottom. Never again!
I walked under this tunnel to the other side of the Thames, but it wasn’t that creepy as I did in on the weekend of the Tall Ships Festival (year 2014 I think) so there were other people down there. But I can imagine what it would be like if it were deserted
No doubts London has always been one the best places for tourists attraction, great people, food/resturants, pubs the list goes on. GREAT FOR VACATION TOO. Left there recently, definitely would recommend.
@@steffan683 Mine wasn’t even a planned vacation, I made profits from an investment so I decided to take myself out, toured around London and dined at some of their top restaurants such as The Araki, and Dinner by Heston to name a few. I really enjoyed myself there, you should definitely try it too. 😉
@@johnwilson4283 Oh yeah so I’ve been working with a broker for about a year now, she owns a trading platform where I copy her trades from and I’ve been making profits. I make 5% of my daily investments, that’s better than my salary lol
I live in Surrey just outside London, but I have not been to some of the places you mentioned. I should go soon and find out. Thank you. Your new subscriber here! 😍
Thank you for sharing these London gems with us. I’ll be coming to London this summer for a weekend. You gave me good ideas for a visit. I did not know about the sky garden 🪴. I’ll definitely go there.
Been to London twice and going again in July 2024. Never heard of most of these places but putting them on the list. Going with another couple who don't necessarily need to do the tourist traps so this is a great list. Thanks for making the video.
Random tips.Cleopatras needle,gladiator arena underneath guildhall art gallery,parakeet feeding at Hyde park,most of James bonds cars at London film museum,jack ripper museum as it's about the only museum showing a poor person's home as opposed to ornate, brooklands to sit on a Concorde and which had the world's first racetrack for racing cars,inside tower bridge,the redone area of captain bligh"s tomb at the garden museum,its difficult to describe it's beauty,the royal mews,free glassblowing studio near shard,Aspley house is a must,Holland park costume Murals,Up Westminster cathedral(not abbey)free barbican conservatory to avoid eating up a day at Kew,trinity buoy wharf with London's only lighthouse,the maze that is HMS Belfast,touch the Olympic rings at the park,and finally walk. along any bit of the Thames shore and find yourself some Tudor or roman etc pottery,it's everywhere but do research what bits to look for on mudlarking Thames videos! Ssh though many of these places are not that well known..
Am visiting London in 2 weeks time. Am not interested in the touristy areas. LOVED your video. Like to tell you which ones I visited when I return. A HUGE thanks from Belgium 🙏🌻
Hi Mauricio :), here from Germany I am always traveling alone and flying to London over New Years 28th December to 2nd January 2023 and would be very happy if I can meet people who know their way around London and have a good time together Has.
Good video great suggestions. When we were there our friends took us to a restaurant/pub called Giuseppe’s Restaurante. When you are there again I highly recommend.
Thanks for the suggestions! I’ll be in London with my bestie in December, I definitely want to visit the hidden bar! Is there anything you recommend a couple days before Christmas? TIA 😊👍
Your Stat can see you are performer! You fixed my mood i was low today! I like your theme of page. You've worked hard on this you deserved it! Pressed red box and liked! I do think we have one 2 thing in common. You'll see.
Hi Joe. Thank you for this amazing video. We are arriving in London is about three weeks from Toronto. We plan on seeing St Dunstan after our visit to Skygarden (already made reservations) and the Monument. I've been to London by my husband hasn't. I just had to come back because London is so incredible. I missed Churchill Arms last time. I've done so much research I'm soooo ready to come back
It would be better if you could be more specific in the locations. Leadenhall Market and the Sky Garden are not in Aldgate but in the City. The nearest station for both would be Monument.
Hi, I found your video very informative. Thank you. I would like to know the brand of tee shirt you are wearing- with the small happy face on it. Can you tell me where to buy one?
It's not really hidden, but I love Camden Market. It is almost impossible to find a wider variety, of amazing food, all in one location, anywhere else on the planet. Plus the people there are so interesting.
Hint for all travelers in all cities: If you’re a tourist family with kids, then stay in tourist areas so nobody else has to deal with it 😀 If you’re a fun traveler then welcome and have a great time
I have visited most of the places. I am looking for an inspiration as i grow a hobby in photography. I havent been to the foot tunnel tho. You must be in full concentration for not blinking
I wouldn’t say Little Venice is in North London, more like the North part of Central London. Kyoto Garden is in Holland Park. The church is St Dunstan IN the East, and you should Google how to pronounce Kyoto. Apart from that an interesting vid.
The Churchills Arms - Kensington
Sky Garden - Aldgate
The Mayor of Scaredy Cat Town - Liverpool Street
Leadenhall Market - Aldgate
Tulip Stairs - Greenwich
Greenwich Foot Tunnel - Greenwich
The Vaults - Waterloo
Spitalfields at Bricklane
Little Venice - North London
Saint Dunstan In East
Kyoto Gardens
Thanks, interesting.. . But don't you ever blink
Ahahaahah true
? 14 times in the first minute
Ahahah literally all I could think about 😂😂😂😂
9:55-9:56 there’s a half blink 🤭
@@thegroovetube3247 that's just him getting all the blinking for the video over and done with.

great video! also, mans does not blink
I think your video is absolutely amazing. Because you only managed to blink once in 12:38. That in itself is a hidden gem! 😂
What?? I've just started watching it and he blinks four times in the first nine seconds ...
9:55-9:56 half blink 😉

Try Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese on Fleet Street and the Cittie of Yorke near Chancery Lane. Two of the best old pubs in London.
You have given me some wonderful places to check out when I visit London. It won't be for a couple of years, but I am looking forward to it.

Great video with alot of useful info. But after a while, I just became entranced by the fact that he didn't blink the entire video.
Excellent suggestions and presentation! Thank you!
I love your intense eyes 😊

Lovely! We are arriving in a week and your tips have been very helpful. Thanks Joe!

Nice options, Joe. While I definitely recommend Sky Garden, I'd avoid the restaurant... the food is unremarkable as is the service.

so good to have the hidden gems before i visit london. thanks man. btw u are handsome
Can’t wait to see This place!!
Many thanks, Joe. Great video and very informative.
Skygarden is lovely, but 1) you need to reserve a time slot several days in advance and 2) you need to bring ID.
Several weeks more like!
Great suggestions thanks for this!
Thank you so much for subscribing :)
I thought the Monument was pretty quiet, yet an amazing place to visit.
There is a similar Japanese Garden in Balboa Park in San Diego. Great Architecture and vibes.
Sounds amazing! I would love to visit sometime!
Thanks Joe….. I’m on my way. Awesome mate !!
Great! Thanks gonna try the Vaults
Thanks so much ! Well put together ❤️

Was the Tulip Stairs in the movie Now You See Me 2 and Little Venice the set for Highlander the series?
I’ve been to London multiple times since the 80’s. I have 2-full days in March 25. I’d like to do something social and different.
