I hear them say "sorry", not "excuse me".. hey that's me..
Hi I'm. visiting in December and best is the recommended places to see that only occurs in December?
Great points! ☺️
But…..I personally don't agree with No. 6. When I go to England I ESPECIALLY wanna eat British and absolutely eat in pubs. Everything else is here in Germany as well (pubs too,but not that authentic). When going to Greece….I eat greek……when going to Spain…I eat…..guess what…..spanish…..🤷🏼♂️
Thx for the great video! ☺️ ☺️ ☺️
EECC Travels ( cruising youtubers ) did the Abbey Road cover visit on their recent London video
In our visit to London, on our last night, we wandered into Leicester Square and happened to come across the World Premiere of Good Omens. My BIL charmed one of the security guards and my sister and I were let into a VIP area where we got to shake hands with Michael Sheen and David Tennant 😆
As a Brit who lived & worked in London for 13 years, i think this is a pretty good 10 min video for foreigners who are intending to visit. Well done!
Loved the video but God the weather has changed 😁
I've already made my first trip to London. Thanks for all the info, but I won't be making a second.
I just came back from London and it was fun comparing London to NYC.
I really want to go. I wanna watch more of your videos to see more of London. If I could go anywhere it would be there!!!
hi. Great program. Do you have one that explains university life in London? I appreciate, regards
Hi Jess! i'm going to London for 5 days in december, i want to visit the christmas related places like hyde park. Is it better to use an oyster card or my contactless card on public transport ?
If you are going on London Eye time it with sunset time about 15 minutes to 30 minutes before. To see London in both lights you'll see Westminster light up looks much better during the blue hour. For best photography 😉
You're videos beatiful
Manic arm waving yet again from these bimbos! Keep your armpits out of sight pet! Ugh!
can you tell us about snow? can we expect snow in London in December? what about other parts of England?
Great video, we were in London in June and had such a great time, we are coming back in December to experience some holiday spirit. We are well prepared for the cold and rain, but cant wait to come back.
Already feeling London FOMO 😁❤️
Typical Americans, thinking they can use US dollars in England.
Doesn't Leicester Square have the booth that sells reduced-price theatre tickets like in Times Square?
avoid Leicester Square! this advice comes in handy when I visited London last month. nothing to see, just a few benches, some square with street performers who were surrounded by people. nothing interests me.
I panicked when i seen that bus coming behind you 🚍🛣
Ex London resident here. Walk where possible in Central London. You'll see so much more.
So helpful for our Europe travel in February 2023 ❤
I’ve lived in London for 5 years now, and I 100% agree with the Leicester Square one. Also wanted to add that it is scammers and pickpockets galore there! While they are all over London, I see them in Leicester Square more than anywhere else. Just avoid it.
I love visiting London in the dark months. The tube is way too hot in summertime!
I keep my money in a bag around my waist, so whenever I enter a crowded train down there, I do get a seat. People mistake me for being pregnant.😄
Great amazing content what are your socials?
Hi Mauricio :), here from Germany I am always traveling alone and flying to London over the New Year December 28th to January 2nd 2023 and would be very happy if I could meet people who know London and we could celebrate together: D
Good list. I only kind of disagree with #6. When I'm in London I want to eat English foods! I can't get those in the U.S. I get London is international and has cuisines from around the world but hey I've been to Italy and eaten Italian dishes. I've been to Spain and eaten Spanish dishes. I can get Italian cuisine in the U.S., why would I want to eat that in London? So that's not to say I will shun everything not English but my focus will definitely be on English dishes when I visit London. So give me an English sausage roll. Give me bangers and mash. Give me a shepherd's pie. And for the sake of all that is holy, give me a good curry! 😁
I am American and I am traveling to London for the first time in March 2023. I am terrified and scared because the Brits are hateful towards Americans in their country. I’m afraid I might be a victim of crime or abuse because of my nationality.
hey I would like to come to London
5: for the love of God, pre-book a reservation at the sky garden. Beats the heck out of the overrated London Eye.
6: The first place I (an American) went for lunch was featuring Tex-Mex. I found this hilarious. I had kidney pie instead.
10: This is dead on. London is wonderfully cosmopolitan.
