    I think you are really brave, Spencer and it’s great to see you on your solo adventure in the UK. I watch ETS and you don’t seem too loud to me, so don’t worry too much about that - just use common sense manners but no need to whisper! Have a great time and will look forward to seeing where you go next.

      ​@christianking3915 as someone who has done lots of firefighting, but also has bad anxiety, you can't really compare the two. Either way he's braver for doing something than you are for trying to belittle someone in a UA-cam comment

    Top Tip for first time UK visitors, spend 10 minutes before you visit looking at the Tube map (you can find it online). Not for what station is where, but to realise how colour coded every thing is and see those big white circles that's where you can jump from one colour train line to another without returning to the surface. That means you can go into any tube station and come out of any other in the whole tube network.

      Not dumping on you, him or anyone else...
      I've always found the tube map completely clear and logical. Added bonus is that when walking overground in an unfamiliar part of the city, you're never far from a tube station, so you don't have to worry about getting lost.
      It genuinely perplexes me when I hear people say it is difficult to navigate. What about it is difficult? I'm genuinely interested.

    Borough Market was just a fruit and veg wholesale market back when I got married in the cathedral next door back in 89. You used to see down and out's scavenging unsold stuff when the market closed for the day. It also smelled a fair bit in hot summers. My family have been in the area for a few hundred years. I spend half my time telling US UA-camrs who visit the market this. 😜

    Jet lag is a beast. Great video, more authentic London than some other Americans.

    All those miles to get to the UK and what's the first thumbnail I see? Food! Well I guess it was either that or beer. 😀
    Can't watch now (visitors) but looking forward to it later.

    Nothing wrong with doing the tourist side of London. Visit Horse Guards, Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, the usual places.
