    I recently returned from a two week trip to England. I spent a week in London and a week in Bath. My week in London was pure joy! Several days I spent just wandering the city like you did and I went on that exact boat and had a drink on a sunny day in September! It is a fabulous place to sit on the river, and watch all the world go by ❤❤❤

I'm going to London in 2024, and have seen your videos from your previous trip, and thought they were great, but I also like that you are able to revisit and just take in the simple things too.

    The Tattershall Castle was one of a set of steam powered ferries that ran over the river Humber from New Holland to Hull. Ridden on it many times before they built , at the time, the largest single span suspension bridge in the world - the Humber Bridge. Nice to see it wasnt scrapped.

    Maybe I’m a little bit biased,but it has a vibe all its own.
    Been to NY twice and loved it,vibrant bustling city,but my hometown takes it,it’s like an open air historical theme park with more green spaces and parks than any other major city.
    If you can’t find what you want in London,it don’t exist.

    Firstly can I say that I love your sightseeing priorities. I think every tourist-trap needs to be mitigated with a Pub stop.
    I'm a Brit. I did a lot of European travelling (plus living in Minnesota) as part of my job about 20-30 years ago, with IBM. I ended up with "Cathedral Fatigue". and got bored with amazing buildings. So ......
    I changed my sightseeing methodology and started finding a cafe, pub, or bar, with a view of the famous monument. I can happily spend a couple of hours, with a cold bottle of white wine, just watching people milling around the tourist monument. The backstreets are where the true city lives.
    It's a wonderful way of getting slowly drunk.
    Also, re. Classical Musicians busking. I spoke to one of them a while back. He said he can't come close to his busking money by playing professionally. He reckoned that a professional gig can give a bit of security but busking on the street can pay way more.

    The lean on the Elizabeth Tower was clear in some of your shots, it was underpinned during the recent renovations so now won't fall over. That part of the City of Westminster was once marshland pre Roman times. It was also the first time the clock was removed and fully restored. The chimes during the time it was away were a speaker broadcast recording triggered by the UK Atomic Clock but was silent for most of the time except for special occasions such as Remembrance Day.

  • @andybaker2456

    It's great that you've mastered the pronunciation of 'Thames'! But to complete your assimilation, you need to know that in the UK, we put the word "River" before the name of the river, not after. So it's the "River Thames", not the "Thames River". I'm not really sure why we do that, but there you go! 😄
    And I'm sure you've worked out that the Uber boats don't work in the same way as Uber cars! Locals generally know them as Thames Clippers, but they just happen to currently be sponsored by Uber.
    You may also already know that the Golden Hind ship you saw is a replica built in the 1970s. My parents and I did a tour of it when it was being built, down in Appledore in Devon, around 1974 or 1975.

      They destroyed a lot of the city of London. St Paul's was bombed as was Parliament and Buckingham Palace. There was no intent to spare anything. In fact Germany launched the Biedecker raids on British cities which specifically targeted the highest rated historic buildings in Biedecker guide books, in retaliation for allied bombing raids.
