Thank you Portia!!! Appreciate the support :)
Absolutely loved this video! Missed you guys! 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
This video was so informative for non British people, glad to know every slightest bit about London. Thank you
Hey vaga brothers!
You guys are very informative and you guys are great in front of the camera!
So happy you did this! I live in London so it’s cool to see you guys around here :)
Thanks Alice!!! We love London. Glad we passed your test :)
Vagabrothers...these are outstanding videos. Camera movement, positions and editing are extreme special. Especially I
like the clips showing the food servings from 4:15 to 4:30. Inspiring to go out and create wonderful pieces like this
Your videos are so exciting and inspiring! I'm so happy that I have found your channel
Yes yes I just love London so so happy to see a video about my favorite place
Excellent as always-love the new look Marco!
The ship tavern was such a great place. Loved the vibe in there
Could spend all day and night just chilling in there. So cozy!
Thank you, Alex and Marko!
You guys are by far my favorite youtube channel. Always looking forward to your next video
Alan thank you for this comment!! Really appreciate it.
OMG guys you have almost 1 mil subs. Amazing! Keep up the good work and the informative videos coming!
Thank you Sabrina!!!! We appreciate your support :)
Finally, you are back guys!!!
Keep going👍🏻
Thank you Anton! More videos on the way!
Do more London videos guys - this was brilliant!! Cant believe Alex walked past my office and I didnt get to see him in person!
Love your video! Love you guys! I just got back from London, there’s so much to do there! Thank you for posting! ❤️
Thank you for the nice comment Nicole! We appreciate your support :)
East London is the real London. Amazing bars, pubs, food and a diverse range of cultures. West London is all tourist traps. Do North London next (where I’m from!)
Sean Naamani Depends which bit of East London you go to. Yeah, if you go to a hipster cafe in Shoreditch you’re going to bump into a bunch of white bearded hipsters drinking turmeric lattes. But East London is massive and diverse. Huge Pakistani, Turkish, Indian, Caribbean and West African communities. Obviously if you let Instagram guide you, you’re only going to end up in the hipster hotspots.
Isnt East London super dangerous? I've been in West London and it was so stylish and vibrant and sophisticated with such a wealth of architecture, both building and landscape architecture. I can see how people may find it too touristy but I loved it.
@@danielkim7841 Not really I live there and it’s pretty safe I’d say south is more dangerous than anymore in my experience
It was a pleasure to have you guys at The Ship Tavern and look forward to welcoming you and your followers to the Tavern any time!
Aww thank you!! We love the Ship and will always come back for a pint or two each visit to London! Cheers!
cool video guys ! I've discovered new things i didn't know about London, such as the globemakers, thanks for this vlog.
This is so amazing!! Beautiful views and you guys are so cool 😎. Love y’all UA-cam channel!! Lovely London.
Omg, you guys are in my city! Super excited about this episode
Thank you Grace! We love London
Hi Guys, glad you liked London. One slight correction, you don't need to load up your metro cards to use the metro (we call it the underground!) as the whole network accepts contactless payment, just touch in and touch out and the metro system does the rest. Love your videos, keep travelling and inspiring us all.
Thanks Neil!!! Cheers
it's true but using Oyster is more convenient than credit cards :)
Ettore Mo. No they are not. With credit cards (or debit cards) there’s no “topping-up” and you don’t have to buy the blooming things in the first place - and pay a five pound deposit - which you then have to claim back!!!
I don’t know how it works for foreigners, perhaps they have no choice but to buy an Oyster card. But that’s the point. Oyster cards are for people who, for what ever reason, don’t have a payment card acceptable to the London Transport system, which by the way, includes busses.
They charge you extra using visa/MasterCard your better off buying an Oyster card it’s 10 quid with a 5er credit. Pro tip before you leave you can sell the Oyster card back to the station they’ll give you 5 pound plus the remaining credit
TheTruth Justice. According to railway enthusiasts, ordinary credit and debit cards are just a cheap to use as Oyster cards; and in some circumstances cheaper.
I loved London! Can’t wait to go back, thanks guys!
Cheers Jill!! What was your favorite part of London/ this video?
When I was there , I did end up at several more “ touristy “ spots. The Tower was by far my favorite. When I go back, I’ll definitely be hanging on the east side! Loved that part of the video.
I can’t believe I didn’t see this posted! Another great video:)
Thanks for watching anyway Ashley! Do you have notifications enabled??
Good to see my city being shown to the world by the Vagabrothers! Nice video has it shows place that I didn’t know about and that look great!
How did I miss this video 6 days ago. I'm glad you are back filming new places again.
Sometimes YT notifications don’t show up
@@vagabrothers Okay I think I found out about the video through IG. THANKS!
Awesome! We hope you had an amazing stay with us at the Radisson Blu Edwardian Hampshire!
Thanks for having us!
Thank you, I truly love globes. I Google right away and then subscribed also, I tuned in because I’m planning a trip to London. I love the details you guys give. Thank you.
Awesome!! Well welcome to the channel and we hope you have a good time in London!
Awesome video on my home city its nice to see more UA-camrs exploring the east side of London
Amen!! The East End is where it’s at!
East or West, great food and drink is where you find it! 🙂 Excellent vid, Thanks!👍
Very true!! Glad you liked the video!
I got some real Basic Vs Baller vibes from this video. You guys are getting more professional with every upload. Keep it up bros!
I love London!!! Such a beautiful city!! Good tips also
It’s such a timeless destination
Marko's hair transformations are so satisfying...😍
This is such a well produced video 😻👏🏼👏🏼
You guys inspire me! Hopefully I can only be half as good as you one day :) Love from a SOUTH AFRICAN living in SINGAPORE 🇸🇬 Keep up the awesome work!
Cheers Mari!
Thank you for more information about London.
I think I edited it to avoid getting bored.
I expect other images.
Amazing Video Guys !! Really Inspiring and Interesting !! Keep your great work going !!
Thank you!! Appreciate the support :)
You are Welcome !
Amazing, now I need to check out East London the next time I travel to the U.K.!
The best brothers : Vagabrothers
Awww thank you!!
Awesome guys
Moving to London in few months can't wait to explore these places.
Awesome!! You’re going to love it! Where are you moving from?
@@vagabrothers omg I got a reply!!! 😱😱😱 Cannot stop smiling. And I moving from Nepal. Hope you guys will make plans to visit my country in future. Love both of your work and miss basic Vs ballers series. Keep up the good work. 😍😍😍
We were in London in July and had tea at the Marriott too! We really enjoyed it. We spent the majority of our time in the Westend. I wish we could have had a private tour of the Tower of London with a Yeoman. Tower of London has gone down in my book as somewhat interesting but mostly a waste of time.
I want to go to London !!! It's definitely on my list of places to go.
Same 😍
Loved the Glade and decor. I don't think I could get into eating duck and waffles. LOL. I love viewing the different countries with you.
I'm looking forward to travel to London next year.
We hope our video helps :)
Fun video of London, I’m planning to go next Summer!
You’ll enjoy yourselves for sure!
London is one of my favourite cities ❤️
It’s a timeless city for sure!
You guys are a true inspiration for our travel video's, on our way to hit our first 100 subs hopefully ☺️
Nice work guys, I've just given you a watch really impressed! Also just starting out on my Vlogging journey.
Best of luck!
@@vagabrothers Thankyou so much ❤
Thank you,
Awesome, now I just need to go there
🙌🏼🙌🏼
You guys will grow quickly. Because of your representation is unique. God bless you.
Thanks for this one guys! I'll be visiting my friends there soon. Maybe I can surprise them with my newfound knowledge from here 😁
Awesome!! Thanks for watching
Love your videos.
Thank you Ricky!! We really appreciate the support :)
The more I travel the more I’ve been wanting to find parts of the city that are not super touristic and East London looks like the spot!
Yes true! This vid was sponsored so it’s showing off the city in the most positive light
amazing globes!!! wish i could purchase just one of them
They are seriously gorgeous works of art with correspondingly steep price tags
@@vagabrothers if I may know, how much is the cheapest pricetag? 😂
I liked the brief visit to Globe factory.
The Globe Factory is the coolest :)
Oh no now I want to go to London again!!
That's NEVER a bad thing :)
Delicious food in London ! Cheers!
It was so good!!! Which spot from the video would you want to eat at the most?
@@vagabrothers I think I would try everything :)
Glad you visited London, come and checkout southwest London nextime.
Which areas in particular?? Cheers Daniel!
@@vagabrothers Brixton, Clapham, Wimbledon, Richmond
Great video. We like your vibe compared to other vloggers. We are going to London in 6 weeks, yay. I enjoyed east vs west theme. In Canada we mostly use contactless cards here. USA is do much behind with visa/debt card technology. Did you like going contactless? I love it.
👍 Thanks from Bangladesh
Cheers!!
Guys it's amazing , fantastic. 😍
Lots of love 🇮🇳
Thank you Mansi!
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿Congratulations / Parabéns . I am from Brasil I love this channel.
Muito obrigado.
Amazing journey thru London! I hope one day to get there myself. It's definitely on my list of must do's! Thank you for sharing! 💕
I loved the east😻💃🏽
Very very good...
Thank you Banu :)
Awesome job guys though I gotta ask : what's the name of the song at 0:34 and where can I license it for my videos?
Definitely want to go back to London again after this, and visit Bellerby & Co Globemakers. I still have the oyster card, I'm glad it doesn't have expiry date!. I went there in 2014, I used the hop n off tour bus. It also includes Tower of London ticket and Ripley's belive it or not museum ticket!. I love hop n off bus tour.
Thank you for the beautiful video as always Vagabrothers!.
Btw I really like Marko's patterned shirt, would you tell us what the brand is? 😬
luxurious life through Citi is enticing!
Nice....london has so many things to do and places to go, doubt you could fit it in one video
It’s got a lot going on that’s for sure
Great! A nice video. I like it. Welcome to my country side
Thank you!
Aye welcome to my city and I'm glad you loved it, I've lived here my entire life and didn't know some places exist 😂😂😂
Its sooo funny when I was traveling to Orlando you guys did a video about it, and know September 7 I'm going to London 🥰 we are connected some way 😘😘
Hahah coincidence or fate?
@@vagabrothers hey is awesome! We visited the springs and the asian tacos you've mentioned. Thank you 🤗
Your seeing my neck of the woods in the winter. I couldn't work out where "the Ship" tavern was?. There is a division between East and West, but if you want true division - it has to be North and South London
Interesting!!! Thanks for sharing Steven!
The Ship Tavern is in Holborn mate
Course it is! Thanks
Good job on the video guys! However, I do think that most of the places that you dined in (not sure whether you had to dine there because this video is sponsored) are quite expensive and there are better options to choose from for a fraction of the price.
I didn't catch the name of the place you met up in East London with all the vendors and bars. Going to London in October! Thanks for the recs :)
Sounds like you need to rewatch the video ;)
Me too..oct 1st to the 8th..going to the NFL games in London
I missed it too. Looked like Box Park though.
I 💚❤️ vagabrothers and London hopefully one ☝🏾 day I will visit. Oh by the way the food looked so delicious 🤤 especially the duck 🦆 and waffles it’s something different with a twist 😉!
Nice cinematography
Thank you!! Always working on improving
Can you do these comparisons with other cities ?
Felt like some of the original content, missed these types of videos!
Hey Taylor!!! Glad you enjoyed the video. More are on the way so stay tuned. Appreciate your patience
I'm planning on going to London in 2021, I hope the Big Ben restoration is finished by the time I go there.
Well done vagas... So good than you must to do North and south of London and I say south is for you to go over the haver over the rainbow.
Great video. I'll be in London for the first time next month. I couldn't be more excited. Just to verify, (before seeing this video I sent away for my visitor oyster card) I DO NOT need to bring Pounds to shop and do other things in London? My Visa credit card will work just fine?
Always good to have cash on you for emergencies.
I want one of those Visa cards so I can visit every one of the places in East and West London that you did! I have a Visa card, but they send me a bill every month :-( Ha, ha! You guys are SO lucky... living' large. Keep it up, I'm loving the best travel tips online, anywhere!
What's that noise when you use the contactless cards? It shouldn't make a noise...
Checked the prices for those globes! OMG!
Hahaha yeah!! Wow!
What song is it around 40-50 seconds?
london town by dave skinner
never been to london but want to one day...looks crazy cool....i MAINLY want to go see Harry Potter world haha... guess i need to start saving.... ALLONS-Y!
There’s a lot of Harry Potter sight seeing there, including Platform 9 3/4. Sounds like you’re on your way to Hogwarts!
vagabrothers haha hopefully! But I’m more of a diagon alley type 😂 as long as I get my picture playing quidditch, I’m good!
What jacket is Alex wearing?
Welcome back to London any time guys. Should've tried a salt beef bagel on Brick Lane!
People normally divide it by north south
So the western part is more elegant, royal and traditional, the eastern part is more Modern, laid-back. Two words in one city. Interesting. One Day I will definietly visit there. Take care♥️
Asia Pudel, they were both in zone one (central London) and the separating in east and west was a bit more narrative. Ducks and waffle for examples is located more western than the Tower of London. All in all you do see the difference (as you would between north and south London), but everything is close together.
@@OneGreenTiledStove I know what You mean. :) Just have to See everything 😊
I love London and you guys are great.
Thank you Elijah!
I've never been earlier 😆.
Dale señor
Next time do south london and north London
Hello from Uzbekistan
Interesting switch from East Of Eden, Mark not being on the "finer" side of things and Alex taking it over. Should have worn a three-piece suit, Alex! Give Mark a run for his money 🤑
