    London has several premier league football clubs. If you say to a Londoner that Chelsea is the best/most popular you are likely to be in trouble, as you may be talking to a Tottenham, Arsenal, West Ham, Brentford, Fulham supporter who will not be fond of Chelsea.

    Wrong Wrong Wrong . Travel advice for London from an American. Save yourself a fortune and don’t stay in central London , just a short tube ride ,job done . Theses are are all tourist traps and don’t represent England. I live in the north now after 20 years and won’t be rushing back anytime soon . It’s not that I don’t have a lot of love for London ,but it’s beyond expensive to live there ,my quality of life is so much better .

    As everyone said, there are quite a few errors in this. If you make it to the UK (and we'd be happy to see you), while in London try thinking about it in different groupings such as: natural world (parks, London Zoo, Kew Gardens, Chelsea Physic Garden etc,), historical (Parliament, Buckingham Palace, Churches like St Paul,s, Westminster Abbey, Tower of London etc.), Museums (loads from British museum to more specialised but fun ones like the London Transport Museum), Culture (Galleries, theatres, comedy shows, dance, gigs, etc.,), Socialising (clubs, pubs). Food such as Borough and Camden markets, Chinatown, International food especially Indian food. A trip on the Thames is a must (which is not the longest river in England). You can tour football stadiums (Arsenal, Tottenham, are big clubs too) including Wembley Stadium and there are also cricket tours and tennis tours (Wimbledon). If you want to do the tourist money traps such as the London Eye, Aquarium, Madame Tussauds you can but I think the Royal Observatory at Greenwich is much better. I could go on but this is already far too long!

    It is pronounced Temms river. There are many football clubs in London, Tottenham and West Ham, Arsenal are just as important as Chelsea. Liverpool and the two Manchester teams are the best. It costs a lot to go up to the 72nd floor of the Shard. Most of our Museums and Galleries are free.
    The Sky Garden is on top of the "Walkie Talkie" building, the garden is free.
    Most tourist spots need you to book well ahead of time, you can get offers for cheaper tickets.

I'm sure the narrator on this means well but he's getting so much wrong and you seem very intelligent and deserve better. Like others have said Rick Steeves is great but I'm pretty sure his videos get copyright strikes. Can I suggest Magic Geekdom, they are an American couple who have done multiple trips here and have a lot of videos up. Also Off Day Adventures UK trip . Think you are doing really well otherwise and thank you for your effort 😊

    The h in Buckingham is silent . The Thames is pronounced Tems. The bridges don't have 'The' in front of their names. The pronunciation of Southwark is atrocious. It's pronounced more like Suth urk. He's not accurate in saying the area (Westminster) is known for Museums and theatres, and Oxford St. Those are in the West End of London. Covent Garden does not have 'The' at the beginning of its name. Saying that Chelsea is the main club in London is going to infuriate fans of Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham. The other teams you mentioned are not in London. The w in Greenwich is silent.

    If you come to the UK please don’t pay the extortionate prices for accommodation in the city centres. We have a great public transport system so stay a wee bit out of the city centre and travel in. In London you can get an Oyster card but I’m not sure what types of transport it covers. In Edinburgh you can get a day ticket for the buses which means you can get on and off as many times as you like but I don’t know if they have similar in London. Also if you’re planning on travelling further afield than London look into the different types of railcards available, depending on what you are planning to do it may be cheaper to buy a rail card before buying train tickets.
