- Welcome to my mini Travel Vlog series!
This is the first episode/vlog where I travel alone to London, United Kingdom. 🇬🇧
I travelled alone around Europe to 4 countries in the summer of 2023 and decided to vlog it. I am no expert in vlogging, as this was my first time doing it, so please bear with me lol.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video(s) and consider dropping a like and/or sub. It would be greatly appreciated! :)
See you in the next one! ✌️

Hi John from Glasgow Scotland big Ben is the actuall bell inside the tower it's the Elizabeth tower .
Your video was fantastic. I have watched so many, I feel like I was there in yours.
Was Buckingham Palace worth the tour?
Awhh thank you so much, that just made my day! 🥹
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for subscribing too :)
I would say so if you'e interested in seeing somewhat of how the royals live. I only did "The State Rooms" tour, so I can only speak to that. It's a tour that you can go at your own pace so you can be there as long as you'd like, which is nice!
In my opinion, it had similar vibes to visiting a museum but was more fascinating to me because the palace continues to be actively used to this day so you learn about the rooms and what they're used for etc. and also learning more about their lives was pretty cool too!
Did you know that the first 'underground train/metro' was in London. London has the oldest metro in the world. So regardless of what others are like, it is the OG!
Oh that's actually really cool! I had no idea lol, thanks for letting me know :)
The Clipper boat is only sponsored by Uber. Its not an Uber service. I agree best way to see London. Also as part of TFL system you can use them in conjunction with the Tube and buses, a whole days travel will cost less than £20.
Good video and like the natural flow style and comes across as natural without the gimmicks that other vidoe log people use, when you see the star system on restuarants in the UK, it is rare to see 5 stars but treat with caution as it can mean , that the business owner has given money to the food hygeine department. Which is illegal of course but was a demand to a friend when she had her bar where I live and it is more widespread. Obviously not in all cases, so I treat 1 an2 stars along with the five and the 3 and 4 range star range to be good. Covent Garden is said is said as the the 'Co is said as in the word cough so Co vent Garden, nice choice to go there , anyway will leave you in peace now and will look forward to catching up with your previous videos, and the ones co come.
Thank you, I appreciate that :)
And thanks for the tip, I will keep that in mind the next time I'm in London. I had no idea that that kind of stuff goes on unfortunately, but maybe choosing a 4-star rating restaurant would be the best option for me lol
I’m going to Europe next summer I’m so excited. I’m going go Paris, Lyon, and Amsterdam.
Excited for you! Have the best time :)
@@pat_kobThank you so much!!!
Look left look right. Their to save your life lol😊
Yes lol, definitely needed!
London is super expensive compared to northern parts of the country. Wetherspoons is a cheap pub chain for food and drink. Greggs do cheap bakery items like the sausage roll
Awesome, thanks for the recommendations! This is good to know for the next time i'm in London :)
nice vlog! it's my dream to visit London 😍
Thank you!! And yesss, I would definitely recommend it! I loved my time there :)
great vlog!
Thank you!! :)
Just Buckingham Palace. We aren't French. There's no need for "the" in front.
Cut the guy some slack but ,what I think was going to say 'the Palace' but remembered the name in time and inserted Buckingham before. I have done the same when i am forgetful, or somewhere unfamiliar. and I am British for reference. ps, I like using the London term 'Buck House' as told by a Cockney friend, many years ago.
Try york amazing
I've never had anyone recommend visiting there, but next time im in the UK i'll look into it for sure!
Why do you recommend it? :)
@@pat_kob It's very historic and goes back in history to Roman and Viking times, it's a must see.
@@08shunter good to know! thanks
Could you do a step by step for the gatwick airport? It looks complicated
A step by step tutorial on how to navigate through the gatwick airport?
I would love to, but i feel like i would have to go back to London to make this video lol
That feels like an impossible ask 😅
It's easy, just follow the signs!
Such a shame it was raining.. what month did you visit? If you do go back - Go in September (Warm and DRY, with less tourist) Also, get out of the tourist part (Zone 1 and go check out some of the other 32 boroughs.. London is waay bigger than most people realise! And no one part is the same, different vibes/architecture/food etc)
Yeah lol, but it's alright. I went right in the beginning of August 2023.
Noted, thank you. And I agree, London is definitely a lot bigger than I expected, and I only really had 2 full days there, so that was not enough time for me to explore everything I wanted to, so I will be back for sure!
I think most British people wonder how people manage to live in London! You should try renting an apartment in London. I know everyone tells you what to do, but it’s much cheaper to stay outside London and travel in. For example, you can stay in Hastings (it’s a train ride to the south coast, from Gatwick airport). It’s a historical place, it’s near where William the Conqueror fought the Battle of Hastings in 1066, and loads to see for a day, in relative peace and quiet. The next day, get up early and catch a train from Hastings into London Charing Cross. (1 hr 40 mins journey.) Charing Cross is literally right next to the Embankment, Trafalgar Square, Westminster, short walk to Downing Street where the government is, etc… so in 2 days you could see a part of England (Hastings) that not many foreigners come to, and do the biz in London. I’ve just subbed, by the way.
@@MarkPMus I manage to live just fine on my inflated salary, because I work in London.
I have lived in Bristol, Brighton and Manchester and Leeds. I also lived/studied for 3 years in Newcastle. I wont tell you my favourite of the bunch because beyond 6 months, I had seen all those cities had to offer. Whereas, I have lived in London for 6 years now and STILL have not ran out of things to do/places to see. GO FIGURE.
Whilst advising tourists to stay outside of London, why don't you consider that a huge majority of them have 1-4 days in the UK alone, therefore your suggestion eats into the little time they do have to spend in London.... If they visit London - Stay in London. Simple
You probably know, but Big Ben is the bell inside the Elizabeth Tower. North of England is cheaper.
London 3 times bigger than new york
Good to know, never been to NYC, but it's on my list for sure :)
