Travel Vlog: LONDON! My First Time Out of the Country!!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2023
- I spent 7 days in London for my first trip out of the country and it was amazing beyond words. London had 10/10 food, such nice people, was THE cleanest city I've ever seen, felt so safe the whole time, and has the prettiest and most walking/exploring friendly side roads and little areas of the city. We walked at LEAST 20k steps a day and still didn't see everything.
Love U London! Be back soon:)
You can check all the photos I took in London on my Instagram @halie.72 - Навчання та стиль
I'm glad you had a wonderful time. To paraphrase Samuel Johnson “When a person is tired of London, they are tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.”
Come back any time!
Great video. London is so amazing in so many ways. My favourite city in the world.
Thank you! And I completely agree, London is so amazing 🥰
We need more like this, the idea that London food is not that great is being perpetuated by some UA-camrs, whereas we match most cities in that area. Probably outclassed by a couple of cities (Tokyo, Paris), but not that many.
Crazy! London had truly such amazing food! My next London vlog will be all about setting the record straight and showing all the great food 🫡🌟🌟
Paris is rubbish nowadays "
@@marycarver1542 Not to slight your opinion but as a nearby Londonite laying his pride and wish to live there I am an artist and wish to be buried in Paris; so less of the rubbish talk pls.
london food is awful when compared to food in the north of england
well if you want to live amongst the french you must have somethigng wrong with you, even southerners and londoners are better than french lol @@bluegold21
Good for you 2. Welcome to our capital. You’re right, you can spend a month here and not scratch the surface.
So so true, gunna need 5 trips before I feel I’ve seen it all!
@@scorpiosandwich
I was born in Lambeth in London, 70 years ago, and i still haven't seen all of it yet, so i think you might need a few more than five trips.
I was really pleased that you enjoyed your time here, i hope you do manage to come back and see us soon.
It was a lovely video, thank you.
Omgggg best vlog! Love it love London love you 😍😍😍
💝💝 thank uuuuu bestieeee
Another thing: yes, it's a very good idea to wear shoes which are comfortable to walk in when visiting London (keep the Louis Ferragamos for having donner in the evening). But don't forget buses for getting from A to B, and for seeing the city - stay away from tourist buses. I recommend the number 74 from between Harrods and Marks and Spencer's (Orchard Street) to Putney.
Couldn’t agree more on choice of shoes!! Plenty of very stylish and comfy shoe options out there and London is a WALK of a city like you’ll just want to walk everywhere! So comfy shoes people, a must must must. And buses and the Uber boat were my favorite ways to get around, mainly the Uber boat 🥰
Is that "keep the Louis Ferragamos for having donner" kebab?
amazing. just moved to london, love your vlog!
Thank you so much 🥹💞💞
What great place you stayed in, so near the river taxis. And well done for not going for fish and chips. You ate out like a real Londerder would.
Haha yeah I’m not a big fan of fish so passed on the fish and chips but maybe will try it next time for the London vibes hahah, but food in London was so good I still dream of it 😮💨
This was a great video, i really enjoy watching it. You are very stylish and I love your attitude. Icant believe you have so few subs, and video thb, you add a lot of value to your blogs, and the imagery and editing used was top class.
Ive subbed to hope for more from you.
Im a grandma who was born in London, buy i moved to Australia about 15 years ago so i really enjoyed watching you enjoy our belived and ancient Capital city. I hope you choose to visit Australia one day, id love to watch that too.
Come to Queensland, where its beautiful one day, and perfect the next. All the best in whatever you do next. 💞😢
This is one of the kindest comments I’ve read and really made my day, you’re so sweet!!! Thank you so much for watching it and I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I’ll certainly take those recommendations and travel to Australia and Queensland one day! Ty ty 🤍
We are glad you came and appreciated our beautiful country and your welcome to come back lol
Thank you! 🙌🏻💖
That was Rye in Sussex at the end. A great place to visit if you want to get out of London for a bit.
Totally agree! It was so peaceful and such cute architecture
LOVE THIS VIDEO💕
Hehe thanks ❤
Really great footage!! Best London travel vlog i’ve seen, i think.
I’m a Londoner and honestly wasn’t aware of the Uber boat; thanks, i’ll definitely use them when i have friends visiting!
Wow that’s such a high compliment thank you!!🥹💝💝 and yes 1000/10 recommend the Uber boat and it’s super affordable!
Glad you had a good time. Please come back soon to our wonderful city.
Great video! Pleased you enjoyed your stay!
Thank you! ❤
Love that you went to Rye. I’ve lived within 30minutes drive of there all my life. I hope you saw Mermaid street leading from the church down towards the river ? The prettiest and oldest street in the town with a Pub several hundred years older than the USA 😂
I think I remember that road! It was beautiful and I mean all the roads in Rye have so much character it was a great town and we’ll definitely be back!
Great vid and commentary, thank you for this
Thanks!
Great that you walked so much. On my days off I too usually walk about 22k steps around anywhere random in London, with my camera. I've lived in London for 27 years (am 48 now) and don't even have a drivers' license.
You visited some great areas. The walk on the north side of the Thames, Shoreditch etc. There are gazillions them. I love the long canal walk from north of Shoreditch west all the way to similarly trendy (but more punk rock-y) Camden.
You can get down from London to Brighton in not much more than an hour by train and that's a great, lively seaside place (although the beaches are shingle not sand). Plus it has the trippiest aquarium ever.
Wow that’s amazing, I wish I walked more and bet I would if I lived in London haha. I agree the walking is amazing in London and the spots we got to walk around were so beautiful and fun! So glad you liked watching this vlog!!☺️
@@scorpiosandwich I forgot to say - yeah 20k+ steps is knackering! I did 22k each the past two days, so have my feet up today. You did very well!
@@mikefoster6018that’s impressive!! And thanks!
I am from London (well, Croydon), I am so happy you had a great time in my country, come back again soon:)
Thank you!!! ✨
Great video! You're welcome back anytime ❤
Thank you!!
Currently clipping out frame 11:00 with the blue mark……. Was supposed to be gone but that’s why you triple check your unploads kids 🫠🫥 will be fixed soon 🤠
Great video. London
Thanks! 😃
Nicely done vlog 👍
Thank you!!!
Didn't know London had Trams .knew about Tube ( underground) and Double Decker buses 🚌.
There's only the tram in Greater London in the south (running from Wimbledon to Beckenham). Wonder if she meant the DLR and/or Tube which Americans call Transit...maybe a slip of the tongue.
@MarkmanOTW cheers mate.
It felt like the public transportation options are endless in London. Seriously the most easy city I’ve been to to get around
So glad you enjoyed it. Great vlog of an amazing historical city the start of so much of the modern world. You showed it from the view of the river which has been the heart of the place for a 1000 years.
Thank you so much I’m so glad you liked it!!💝
Thanks for sharing your trip. Nice video. Can i have the link of this airbnb appart. Thanks
❤❤❤❤
Did they see anything of historic London, Westminstminster Abbey, Buckinham Palace, Trafalgar ~Sq and oh so much
beside or was it all food and shopping ?
I tried to get to Buckingham palace but didn’t realize a lot of the historic stuff you need to book probably at least two weeks ahead! All the more reason why we’ll be back! 😌
Beautiful vlogs of a beautiful city, come back and do the rest of the country
Thanks so much!❤ I will certainly be back
Thankyou great watch
Thanks!!
There isn't a Downtown London. In Europe, cities have a centre. So it's Cental London, (or Outer London).
Loved your infectious energy for London🏴, I love the city, I think outside of London is better! England is the best place in the WORLD
You’re so nice thank you!!! And I totally agree, I’m obsessed with London💝
So you don't think much of Scotland or Wales, then?
Enjoyed your video! Rye looks amazing - I've never heard of it! What made you choose to go there? Also, do you have any info you can share on your airbnb?
We chose Rye so we could get out of the city and see more of the countryside of England and Rye was a the type of small town we wanted to explore and wasn’t too far from London. I know the Airbnb was in Limehouse Basin! I don’t have a link but I’m positive if you look up the Airbnb’s there it will pop up!
at the beginning, doing his 2 fingers that way round was actually flipping everyone off, the other way means peace.. hey! just saying
Ope 😵 defo not what was meant at all! Good to know so I don’t include anything like that in future videos
Nice vid. Glad you enjoyed your time here, hope you get to come back soon. Looking forward to the food vid 😃👍🇬🇧
Thank you!!💝
When did you go to London? great video
Thank you 🙏🏻💛 I went in the middle of May and the weather was perfect and not too busy! Our flight was the cheapest we could get all year so spring travel is such a good hack
London has won best food city award ( I can’t remember what it’s called offhand) 7 or 8 out of the 10 times it has been awarded iirc. Also, just one example, the UK has the best Indian food outside of India!
We went to Dishoom and the food was sooo amazing so I believe that!
tbh rarely been in london since 90s, not my kinda place, but at the end, was that kent?
It was really amazing so I’d suggest visiting again! And it was Rye :)
@@scorpiosandwich ill stick to proper cities thanks. too many cannibals and rat eaters in landan for me.
London gets less rain per year than New York City
Pleasantly surprised by that fact!🤩
Oh God. Another one. Tower of London. Tower Bridge. Borough Market. Oh, it's sunny - who'dh've thought we have sunny days. Do you people never do any research at all. This is a huge, really huge town that offers things available nowhere else in the World and all you can do is bleat on about the the Tower Big Ben etc.
Sure, see all those, but do something else. See some Jazz - it knocks spots off of New York. Go to a concert - London offers everything. See a show - West End or small pub back room, it's all there. Eat in Southall if you like curry. There is so much more than Chinatown, Trafalgar Square, Museums (although they are unbeatable).
Oh! Was that a red bus. Oh! Goodie!
Honestly, Americans!
I sort of thought the same - I've seen so many American vlogs do Borough market, Big Ben (Which is actually the name of the bell, not the clock - the tower is called Elizabeth Tower) and even Rye. I'm from England and have never even heard of Rye... lol.
There are way better things to do in London than all these vloggers will have you believe - their itineraries are literally identical. Sometimes it would make sense to ask someone from London for some suggestions 'off the beaten track'.
Not "ocean side" ... It's the 'seaside' esoecially as Rye and other towns along tge south coast face the English Channel which is only between 22 - 23 miles across and you can see France on a good clear day from the towns and cliffs of England's south coast. Some / a lot of the coastal town shorelines are shingle beaches (stony) but have sand at theur outermost edges, seen when the tides go out... The closer one travels to the South Eastern coastlines, the sandier the seashores become. The East Coast (off the counties of Essex, Suffolk* & Norfolk** pronounced Suffuk* & Norfuk**) are mostly wide sandy beaches - and some of the ancient (& current) towns and villages have over time, including recently, (and are still bring) "reclaimed by the seas' strong wave erosion, causing many villagers to have to move out of homes they've lived in for a lifetime, and now must sadly leave, to live in safer properties further from the coastlines.😢 A nice seasude town to visit is Broadstairs, on the South East coastline corner of the County of Kent. Broadstairs has a series of wide, sweeping sandy beaches and bays with interesting names such as 'Viking Bay', 'Joss Bay', 'Stonegate Bay', etc and 'Viking Bay' has a wide harbour wall which protects the bay itsrlf & boaters / yachtsmen, swimmers & paddlers etc from the rougher seas beyond the harbour.
The town also hosts fans of the author Charles Dickens*, who lived, and wrote there. .(*he wrote, amongst other stories, "A Christmas Carol",
"Bleak House",
"A Tale Of Two Cities",
"Barbaby Rudge",
"Great Expectations", and many more). 😊
Woah, sad to hear about those towns getting rundown by the sea :/ but thank you for suggesting Broadstairs! I’ll be sure to add it to the itinerary for my next England trip!
Scorpio. gorgeous ~ see ya!
🤗
Beautiful London video , thanks for sharing 👍 I posted Paris video on my channel 🙂
Thank you!!
@@scorpiosandwich Thank you for sharing 🙂
Americans think it always rains in Britain well the west side of Britain gets more rain than the East side of Britain, infact New York gets more rain than Britain also does the city of Sydney in Australia. Americans seem to get this idea that London is cold, foggy and raining all the time, that is so incorrect that it is laughable. I live just 25 minutes by car outside London and where I live we have not had a White Christmas since 1982. 💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦
Wow great to hear it actually isn’t rainy like I’ve heard! Id love to live in a London maybe one day or just visit more often so I love the fact that it really doesn’t rain as much as the stereotypes I’ve heard would say.
The last place is Rye.
Yes Rye was really pretty and a beautiful drive from London!
Just seen your video - As a Brit and a Londoner, can you tell me what 'Down-town London' is?
As a first timer in London and a self proclaimed directional dyslexic, I don’t have a clue 🥴😅
No such place as downtown London. Main tourist areas are within zone 1 on the underground map. Outside into outer zones great London has plenty of history and different characteristics. The majority of people who work in London live outside the centre. These are the main tourist postcodes. West End - W1, W2,SW1, WC1, WC2. City- EC1, EC2, EC3, E1, SE1 Also SW3, W11, NW1. Then you have Greater London with loads of history, shopping, food and drink. All easily reachable on public transport where you can see more of real London and slightly cheaper as well.
@@scorpiosandwich - - I think you must have been referring to the City of London. This is the UK and we don't have 'Down-towns' anywhere. Glad you enjoyed your visit to the UK.
Great vlog do come back and explore more walse scotland and England. Also go ireland what a place to go
You cannot do London in life, let alone a week, and I have been here for 30 years. The longer you live here the deeper it gets.
Wow! Great motivation for me to keep coming back!🤩
Nice vid but can we go away with the popcorn music / it adds nothing I’d much prefer your comments music free!!
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it and definitely will plan to talk more and use less music on my next vlog🙏🏻🌟
@@scorpiosandwich only my opinion - I’ll look forward to your next vid!! When will that be coming out??
@@scorpiosandwich - I thought having the music and great video shots were a welcome change from other vloggers
@@anitawhite2669 I appreciate you saying that! So glad you enjoyed it☺️
@@freddiemac1438I’m moving to Chicago at the end of this month so I’ll be making a moving vlog and some Chicago vlogs once I’m there 🌟🌟
A bit shaky but good content.
The first thing on my list to fix for next time 1000% 🙌🏻
London food is some of the very best in the world. More restaurants open in London every year than anywhere else on the planet.
That’s impressive! And totally agree I’m so glad we had nothing but amazing food 🤤
