    Some additions and criticisms for the algo: 5. The Changing of the Guard is nice and free, just don't line up in front of the gates to barely see anything of a rather boring ceremony. There's a whole route that you can stand or even walk along, depending on the season, and get a good view of the guards marching past, take a picture, whatever floats your boat. 4. Never been on this because it's obviously stupid. "A bicycle wheel without the tire" as Johnny Rotten said. Also holy crap, you're right about the area around it. What a dump. Decent views of the river though, and you don't see the ferris wheel! I guess the Eye could be OK if you have something like the London Pass that includes it (I see the price of a 5-day London Pass has DOUBLED over the last year, which is insane, so buyer beware!). But there are other (free) views to be had. The Shard costs money too by the way, but is also often included in tourist passes like that. 3. Never been here because I don't care for the waxworks, and in any case it's a well recognised tourist thing. It's been a tourist attraction since the 19th century, in that sense it's "historical". It's older than Tower Bridge! I guess if you have a burning desire to see some waxworks of celebrities then it could be fun, but don't let anyone tell you it's a must-see. This also seems like one of those places that have doubled their prices within a decade. I could easily spend 2 weeks in London and still not be tempted by this one. P.S. The location seems like the least problem here since it's close to the Sherlock Holmes Museum, Regent's Park, and other attractions people might be interested in. Not really a big deal that it's not in walking distance. London doesn't really have one walkable "centre". A lot of interesting sights and activities are in districts best visited by tube. Almost all tube lines stop at Baker St. Or take the bus, which is cheaper and you can still see something. 4. Don't care about Oxford Street since I don't go on holidays for shopping. Looks like any other high street to me, just bigger and with more crappy candy shops. 5. Meh, Wetherspoons is cheap and "authentic" in that lots of Brits will get a cheap pint there. What is an "authentic" pub in London? Seems pretty arbitrary to me. A lot of them are faux-thentic like 'Spoons, just more expensive. A lot of decent and affordable pubs are owned by other chains (Samuel Smith's etc.). It's usually either foreigners or posh Brits who will tell you to avoid Wetherspoons like the plague (and then recommend some gastro-pub lol). I wouldn't go out of my way to drink in one but neither would I avoid a decent boozer just because it happened to be a part of their chain. Bonus: yeah Leicester Square is not much to look at. I also don't care for theatre so not much to do there except take the picture to prove you've been there. M&M's World there deserves a mention of its own for absolutely god-awful "attractions".

    Hi. Nice video but are you stealing Joolz Guides look with the bowler hat? 😂 Anything that gets popular is overcrowded overpriced and overhyped. When I first started working in that area in 2001 Borough Market was practically deserted and only open to the public from Thursday to Sunday. As a Londoner born and raised I can sometimes get frustrated trying to go about my daily business while battling through hoards of tourists but I understand that it’s a source of pride that so many people come to see my city and that it’s a financial benefit for all the money tourists bring in. Also it would be hypocritical of me not to realise I’m doing the same when I travel somewhere outside London. However I do object to people disrespecting the locals and the area in their wish to get a selfie. They need to remember that they are not in a theme park but in a living city where people need to get on with their everyday lives. For instance have you seen how disrespectful some tourists are around the horse guards on guard duty, particularly during the hours when they are on horseback. They behave as though the soldiers are there for them to take pictures with and get aggressive when the guards try to stop them coming into restricted military areas or grab at the horses’ tack because it won’t keep its head turned for their selfie. They are full time professional soldiers who happened to also take a turn doing ceremonial duties. If it gets any worse it’s going to end up like the foot guards who now guard behind the railings at Buckingham Palace because they couldn’t do their military service properly with the public making a nuisance of themselves. 😊
