Things NOT To Do in London
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 май 2024
- Hey guys, today we're taking a look at good 'ole Londinian. Let us hop straight on board and take you through some London underground etiquette...
1 Don't look people in the eye
2 Don't try to start a conversation
3 Don't smile at them
4 Don't ask for directions
5 Don't take photos of people
6 Don't ask for them to take photos of you.
7 Don't have loud phone conversations
8 Don't have your music loud enough so that everyone can hear it.
9 Don't eat smelly foods
10 Don't wear your backpack while on the tube
11 Don't put it on a spare seat
and as for the escalators...
12 Don't stand on the left side of the escalators!
But if you do use the left, make haste. There's nothing worse than being late and getting stuck behind some slow walking slowcoach, who thinks they're "conforming to the rule" but are actually walking too slowly!
13. DON’T buy individual transport tickets
Get an Oyster Card instead.
An Oyster is a plastic smartcard which can hold pay as you go credit, Travelcards and Bus & Tram Passes.
14 Don't take the central line during rush hour
Unless you like taking part in a life-sized representation of a hot smelly human sardine can, find another rout.
15 Walk instead!
Chances are that the next 2 or 3 closest tube stations are within easy walking distance.
16, Don't drive
Unless you want to pay an £11.50 congestion charge or like trundling along in first gear, you're better of walking, bus-ing or taking the tube.
17 Don't call it Big Ben
It's the Elizabeth Tower, Big Ben is the name of the bell
I suppose you'd want to visit Tower bridge too...
18 Don't confuse London Bridge with Tower Bridge!
London Bridge, Tower Bridge, London Bridge, Tower Bridge, London Bridge... Tower Bridge. London Bridge is the less fancy one.
What city would you like to know what not to do in next, comment below and we'll make it so!

"Don't take the Central line in rush hour!" *Shows an image of the Jubilee line* 😂😂😂 love it
Don't be taking _public transit_ (subway, bus, light rail) in rush hour, period. Lat that time be for the residents of London to get to and from work encumbered.
Probably not best to take the tube during rush hour anyway.
Especially not during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. ☣️
Don't call it the Elizabeth Tower unless u want to sound like a tourist who is trying not to sound like a tourist
DYED LAVENDER Londoners always call it Big Ben
Yeah. I’ve litterally never heard anyone call it Elizabeth tower 😂😂
@@claudia__________3020 same
It's big Ben simple as
Im from london and i call it big ben
Nobody calls Big Ben the Elizabeth tower
Unless they are the BBC or any other British broadcasters or the Queen, of course
Bloopidy Bloop nobody's ever called the tower by its proper name. Big Ben is the largest bell within the tower.
@@williamnghiem6890 even the BBC call it big Ben
I technically it is called the Elizabeth tower
So true
I have been to London several times and have had to ask directions many times. Everyone I have ever asked for help, whether they were in jeans or a suit, were always extremely helpful and gave very detailed directions. I have yet to have anyone act like they were put out or bothered. As for Big Ben, that is what they call it on the tour buses.
Btw I'm British ... we don't call the 'Elizabeth tower' that... we call it Big Ben
Yea its big Ben XD
Kirito -Kun! I know XD
Yup I live in England too.
Shwervin Mervin I know
Shwervin Mervin 👍🏼
no one calls Big Ben Elizabeth Tower
I call it Westminster tower
Izzy Cox it was originally called Victoria tower after that queen, then it was renamed after HM Elizabeth later.
Emily W Victoria Tower is the big one at the far end of the Houses of Parliament.
Izzy Cox hi
Izzy Cox these people r idiots
18 Things NOT To Do in London
1. Go into a chicken shop and not say "Boss man"
2. Don't go to Buckingham Palace. Unless you're moist
3. Don't go on a bus that starts with "6--" Those are school buses mate
4. Do not go to Hackney at night. I beg.
5. Go to Westfield on a Saturday/ Sunday
6. Call the Big Ben Elizabeth Tower
7. Do not go to those English Sandwich shops/ Cafes. No one goes there.
8. Talk loudly with your friends on the Bus and the banter you're having ain't funny.
9. Don't go to Oxford Street with lots of money.
10. Don't go to East Ham. Just don't
11. Don't go talking with a posh British Accent. No one talks like that fam.
12. Do not go to Jamaican shops for food. These times foods aren't even ready and the shops been open for 3 hours.
13. Avoid Hackney if you're a foreigner
14. Do not ignore #13 unless you wanna get finessed bares
15. Do not go on a bus with your oyster not working / You don't know the directions - just move man
16. Don't say Allah Abkar swear down you'll get beat up. Even by Muslims
17. Don't be racist because these times everyone has an Afro-Caribbean in their family.
18. Don't be assuming every white person is English. Bare mans are Polish and don't speak English.
Bonus 19# - Don't go to London and not get 3 wings and chips from Morley's. Are you mad bruv? Its £1 😂😂
Just a correction on number 3, the 603, 607 are normal routes, not school routes
Panzerkampfwagen V Panther A Well England kinda is annoying (I live in the south west)
and 19. don't think that stepfree access means "for people who are not good at walking", it may mean: I guess you are sitting in a wheel chair and like rolling around a bit longer.
Im always boping in Hackney at night really safe area😂
But you can use the route 660, literally no one uses it.
What Americans think Londoners do: oh... good morning, just having a sip of tea.
What Londoners actually do: you got the shit m8? Yeah bruv, how much. That’s £40. Alright bruv see ya around.
Cryptiz no thats not how we talk, thats chavy ur taling about
Nah man all about that chicken though
Not rlly but kinda
What is bruv?

Pehkonen

Unless you're very rich. Or something else.
I live in London and Everyone in London does this

Suga Stole My heart nobody says elizabeth tower are you ok

JUST CAUSE IM AN ARMY DOES NOT MEAN YOU'VE GOT TO BE MEAN ABOUT IT!
Suga Stole My heart they arent
The picture you show of "London Bridge" is actually Waterloo Bridge. Bit of a blooper there.
That... that was the joke
Same with the central line.

Sophia Sings
Sophia Sings exactly
Ikr at least know what you're saying before you say it cos you'll just look even more like a tourist.
Sophia Sings I like their videos, but I don't particularly trust them, you wouldn't want to follow their advice in the fear that you might look even more ridiculous.
Yeah I only watch them cos they're funny xD.
I am from London and this is really offensieve i mean “dont smile at people” of course smile at people! And we do not talk like that!
your average triggered brit
@@Angrii your average triggered idiot
Split at people
I do talk like that.
I've lived in London my whole life and the only one that applies is the escalator
Champion1 ! i dont understand the escalator part who even does that
if you're standing, stand on the left. so the right is empty for anyone who's in a rush and needs to run
gggeorge It means if you're going to stand on the escalators, stand to the right, so that the left is free for people who are in a rush and need to run.
Finlay 291202 mmm nobody does that where i live but sure x
Ikr
I live in London, we call it Big Ben, the central line isn't that busy, the music one no one obeys and driving in London also isn't that bad
American Kid: you're from the UK?! Do you have tea with the Queen?
English kid: do u go to McDonalds with Trump
Lezz Laffs who says that
lol
gggeorge me
Americans come from English people which means the same roots and appearance the rest are emigrants that makes America rich :p
Who the hell calls Big Ben the Elizabeth tower?
Rapid Blobfish Exactly
En 30 años que llevo en este país, es la primera vez que escucho que a Big Ben le llaman Elizabeth Tower 🤔🤔🤔🤔
i live in London and have never in my life ever heard anyone call Big Ben the 'Elizabeth Tower' it is DEFINITELY called Big Ben
i've lived in london my entire life and WHY ARE YOU CALLING IT ELIZABETH TOWER ITS BIG BEN
The name of the bell is Big Ben.
BTW its Big Roger...
Lula ik
THE HOUSES OF THE PARLIAMENT
Lula I'm British and the tower is called Elizabeth tower but the bell inside the clock is called Big Ben
everyone calls big ben big ben in england, i know that cos i live here
yeah, but it's still wrong
samuel leamon exactly, no one calls it the queens tower lol
yeah, cos it's called The Elizabeth Tower
Oh sorry, no one calls it 'the Elizabeth tower'
accept from historians
1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 are actually very frequently done in London and a lot of people don't mind it. So long as they are not on their way to work or something they don't mind taking pics for you or even being asked directions
is this even serious? don't look people in the eye and start conversations? don't ask for help? what kind of place is London?
Esin Dirik don’t worry I’m London u can ask for directions and that
Esin Dirik A shit place, believe me. Alternatively spend your money finding out.
Born in London. Trust me it's a shithole for the most part. Especially the South-East (where i live :P)
Esin Dirik none of this is true
This video is fake don't worry today this man asked me for directions
I'm from Britain, and I've been to London many times, but I have *always* called it Big Ben, I've never even heard of it being called the Elizabeth Tower!
Amy Lucas Me too, they also need to realise that everyone wears backpacks on the train and there's nothing wrong with asking people for directions or to take a photo
I also thought that London Bridge and tower bridge were the same thing
Cheese Puff Lollypop face Yes. And everyone hates the backpack wearers on the tube in rush hour. The thing to do to be courteous is take it off and hold it or put it on the floor.
Amy Lucas
Me too
agree!
I live in London and most of these are not really true
KaiJames Yh many people have come up to me and asked to take a photo or had short conversations with strangers its not strange its just that not many people do it
Same there a little bit rude
So don't walk, Don't drive, Don't go on a train, Don't be a normal Human being, And do the opposite of what is natural.
When you uploaded the video I was actually in London, it was really useful. I'd like to watch "What not to do in Paris, Barcelona and Amsterdam" just because I was there and realise if I did something wrong.

NEVER CALL IT THE ELIZABETH TOWER UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE CALLED A TOURIST! English hate Tourists and EVERYBODY calls it BIG BEN! This video has LOTS of wrong points!!!!!!!!1
KUIZELUB VLOGS So does your post
I agree.A lot of crapola on here. So many people trying to be "experts" they end up sharing nothing but a load of SHITE!
xD
KUIZELUB VLOGS
SO TRUE
BUT WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING?
agree
I live in London. Every weekend I go to see the ELISABETH TOWER and it is crammed with tourists doing all of these things!
I absolutely agree that the Oyster Card is the best way to get around in London! Thanks for posting!!
2 things,first NOBODY in London talks in that accent,secondly you can drive in London the congestion charges only apply in central London
don't drive on the right side of the road if your American like me
yeah, that probably would help...
The Rainbow Guy good advice
you’re*
1:35 14 is very true. I live on the central line and it's hell in rush hour 😂😂😂.
Number 1: Don’t film dead bodies like someone.
no no, that's "what not to do in Japan"
Oof....
Lol
@@doraegan4416 Well, that would come under "Don't be Logan Paul".
OK, I live in London and several of these are inaccurate.
1. You can wear your backpack on the Tube. Even after the bombings (which were more than 10 years ago) people still did.
2. You can put your bag on the seat next to you and many people do. In fact, if there are seats available, it's rude to expect someone to move it.
3. We do call the "Elizabeth Tower" Big Ben even though technically that name refers to the biggest bell, not the tower. It's not a big faux pas. In fact, I'd hazard a guess that most people don't know what the Elizabeth Tower is.
4. The crowding on the Central Line is found on all Underground lines at rush hour. It's no better or worse than any other commuter rail line.
5. St Paul's isn't a residential area. I suspect the only people who live near there are the bishop and one or two other churchmen. Apart from that it's all bank and insurance offices and has been for decades.
6. You can get an Oyster card, yes, but you can also use any contactless credit/debit card and the fare cap still applies. (The Oyster Card is more anonymous, though, but there is still CCTV everywhere.)
Where are you two from anyway?
We're from Destination Island! Thanks for your feedback, hope the 'inaccuracies' didn't spoil your experience ;)
Destination Tips You're reply couldn't be any more cringey no offence
Matthew Smith I disagree, I also live in London and yes you can physically wear backpacks on tubes but it's bloody inconsiderate, especially when moving around in a crowded tube it knocks into everyone so it's etiquette in London to hold it by your feet so it's not in the way.
Also, it is very rude to put your bags on the seat next to you unless the train or tube is literally empty
Destination Tips can I buy a ticket to go to destination island?
Matthew Smith
You have a fuckin' problem with this video mate

SitiWardah Bfr ikr
Talks about the central line, shows the jubilee line :) also walking between Liverpool st. And moorgate (to get to kings cross for example) is a 4 min walk approx but about a 10 min journey as the central line winds it way round the streets into bank and then you've got to walk another few mins to get the northern line from there
Hey, I'll be going to London next April. However, I am pretty worried abt your autumn wardrobes. So, what not to wear in London on Spring?
...no one calls Big Ben 'Elizabeth tower'. -_-
True its called big ben
xXMissMayhemXx i know right
No one makes hyperboles
Bolduc Melusina get outta here
This is just offensive to England with accent
I live in London and literally no one calls it Elizabeth tower, like I’m 15 and only found out that Big Ben is on the bell last month. So don’t go up to someone one where is Elizabeth tower cos they’ll think your mad.
I live in London and London is so chill with tourists
Quiz: What side of the escalator do you walk on in america?
None! Americans are too lazy to walk!
the fucking floor
That's the point of an escalator. If you're just gonna walk take the stairs
LOL
Film Now Edit Later well at least were not living in the past and what I mean by that is you still have a queen 😊
Film Now Edit Later one more thing your technically calling youselves all those stereotypes because most Americans ancestors are from European countries

Planning on going to Holland, Amsterdam, for city break around October. Any tips?
1:12-This also applies to any other city in the world, particularly those cities whose public transit systems have smartcards like the Oyster and the Octopus (Hong Kong). In addition to that, please remember that many cities no longer use tickets or tokens, so you and any other family member [if you're taking your family with you] will have to get and use a smartcard (the Toronto Transit Commission, for example, does have one-use paper 'smart' tickets with a RFID chip inside them if you don't want to use the TTC's PRESTO smartcard, and small children ride free.)
Another one to add about using the Tube or any other subway system when sightseeing; _don't travel during rush hour_ ; let that time be for the people travelling to work. Start using public transit to sightsee after rush hour.
Horever in Lille (france) don't buy a card if you're a tourrist, tickets are rechargable
This was actually kind of offensive:/
Bon Bon Buneary I know and I live in london 030
Bon Bon Buneary I'm American
I live in London... This isn't offensive (IMO) and it is kinda true.
It's labelling stereotypes of England and London whilst being rude about it at the same time:/
When is it rude about them?
I highly doubt anyone is going to Boston, United States, but I want to contribute so I will make a small list because that's where I'm from.
1. We call the train or tube the T, and if you call it anything else nobody will understand you ever.
2. Don't go to Mikes Pastries in the North End it's always an hour wait.
3. Don't get offended by profanities or horn honking, it's normal.
4. If something someone says ends in the syllable "ah" it's supposed to be an r in actual english.
5. The animals are very sassy do not approach them. The squirrels will kill you and the ducks will kill you and the pigeons will run away.
prjal sa the
Emma Franc and dont say you like the yankees because us bostonians love the red sox and if anyone says a d8fferent team we will have an argument non stop
i have never heard anyone call The tube "the T" also calling the train the tube would be incorrect since the tube nickname came from the deep level lines that resemble a tube so using it on the trains would be wrong.
Emma Franklin-Millens Well that stinks for you because my friend and i were walking over to the swan boats and she lured a squirrel with her nuts and they didn't kill her!
Emma Franklin-Millens not if you go to downtown the animals come up to you if you try to feed them
awesome. need on of these for nz
The US businessman who bought London Bridge knew exactly what he was buying. The bridge was unsuitable for the modern volume of traffic and it was sold to partially fund it's replacement. The businessman came here to inspect it himself and diverted a river on his ranch to show the bridge off in the best location. It was just a rumour that "the Americans" (as if it was the nation as a whole) thought they were buying Tower Bridge.
is this supposed to be offensive? it feels like it is...
Mabey but 99% was a lie
if everyone took another line instead of main line yo ushould just do main line
Don't smile????? What? Why? What's wrong in smiling at people. It's a good thing. Spreads so much happiness
Hi, very good presentation , i liked it
We don't sit around and drink tea and crumpets I don't really even like crumpets but I do love my tea ☕️👌
Prime Z I live in America and I know that " tea time or whatever " is fake when I tell people you should see how mad they get at me but I know y'all don't drink tea and crumpets like 24/7
lolz what's a biscuit but a modern crumpet lol
Prime Z tbh im from london and i love crumpets and tea. But yeah, i still hate the stereotype lol
number 10.
backpacks are fine just dont run shouting allahu akbar
19 - For everyone's sanity, if you're meeting someone at London Victoria train station, don't agree to meet at:
WHSmith - there are three of them, and from two you can see a different Cafe Nero, everyone will be confused. For some reason this is the main one everyone agrees to meet at and when you have a large group it's hell trying to get everyone to meet at the right one or work out where the others are over the phone.
Cafe Nero, there were two small ones but recently a third small one has also been put up. The first two are pretty close together but the third could throw in all kinds of "where are you, I can't see you anywhere" issues
Burger King, there are two and you can't see the other from either of them.
Starbucks, originally there was just one close to the outside, but recently a second one has appeared. Again, you can't see the other from either one.
M&S, I've been told there are apparently two but I've only seen one so I assume the second is in an entirely different part of the station.
There might be more but so far the safe places to meet are: Leon, Sloe Bar, Paperchase, Cafe Ritazza, Lush, Pret, Whistlestop, Wetherspoon and possibly McDonalds.
"Don't look people in the eye" ahahahahaha you avoid looking in front of a threatening dog
a message from a little youtuber have a lovely christmas i hope you get everything you wanted chill out celebrate thanks for reading
What i want is a friend or someone to talk to, but that's obviously not gonna happen. Thanks though
Also, the 1st and last coaches on the Tube are the coaches that are least likely to be overcrowded.
Peter Downey yeah
Peter Downey #ProTip
Actually the trick during rush hour is to not get on the first train, see where the least packed carriages are and position yourself there when the next train arrives.
The most packed carriages change from day to day so if you want space and potentially a seat, it pays to wait an extra minute for the next train.

Its scary how accurate this it
No one calls big ben the elizebeth tower
THANK YOU!!!
You're welcome ;)
omg your online
Destination Tips Everyone calls it Big Ben here in the UK, I knew Big Ben is really the name of the bell, but I didn't even know the tower is really called the Elizabeth Tower.
Flying Barons Cz
The folks that bought London Bridge knew it wasn't Tower Bridge - that's an urban legend about a misunderstanding that was quickly cleared up Before the sale. I grew up playing under it in lovely Lake Havasu City, AZ.
It's o.k to ask for directions but don't expect that people will necessarily know the answer. Don't take any tube line during " rush hour" unless you can't avoid it. Rush hour lasts for more than an hour. About 5-7 p.m in the evening is very busy. About 8-9.30 in the morning is also very busy. Your chance of getting a seat in the "rush hour" is negligible and you will be tightly crowded in with all the standing passengers.

Another tip, DONT VISIT MADAME TUSSAUDS, ITS NOT WORTH IT
Sasha Hird why
A five hour line for some wax figures, not a good idea
Sasha Hird Their just wax true 😂

This is true, it is a bit crap.

The escalator etiquette is the same as in escalators in Washington metro area.. It is a HUGE PAIN IN THE A** for those people especially in Washington DC who are using the metro to get to work and home. You always know who the tourists are. If I ever get to visit London I will already know the correct escalator etiquette. WOOHOO!
Nah we call it Big Ben any way lol

In London Paddington I standed on the
left side of the escalators & I didn't got into trouble
I feel the struggle I live in London. I feel you tourists. 😂😂
Omfg this is really offensive we don't talk like that for godsake
Amy Pegg tbf I do speak quite like that and I find it offensive that you would take that as an insult
*TOO STEREOTYPICAL*
I use to take the central lines to and from church during rush hour. It's hell.

1. Don't be English.
2. Seriously... don't be English.
Could’ve been 18 things not to do in Paris!
Same here : just replace “Oyster Card” with “Pass NAVIGO”, “Central Line” with “RER’s lines”, “Upper class British accent” with “Always try first to speak some French language to show your goodwillness « Bonjour something. Merci. Au revoir ! »”. No clear 17 or 18 rules.
The guy that bought London Bridge knew exactly which bridge he was buying. It was the right length for the span he wanted to cross to an island in a new development he was construction.
What not to do in Bristol
Techly too much
Don't go there in the first place Techly
why do these people remind me of gamechap
SkyThePizza lol it's because they have the same accent except they barely shout out random stuff
Oh the rush hour the busiest time of day sadly if you don’t go in rush hour it gets busy
Tish. The dude knew which bridge he was buying, guys.
