Great video and I bet it was amazing to visit the shop you got your shoes from. "Some repair work done, WW2?" Most of the damage to The Tower was caused by WW2, only the moat was damaged in WW1, it was breached in 1300s but the part I found amusing was "this thing is hundreds and hundreds of years old". Nearly a thousand! (976 years ago the White Tower was completed). 15:24 that's part of the original Roman wall that surrounded the now City of London. Do visit the Tower next time you come, it's worth it and allow at least a half a day. Also join one of the Yeoman Guard (Beefeater) tours. As a Londoner I enjoy watching videos of vistors' trips here, opens my eyes up to things I may not have seen or done before.

@KlingConnection Especially if you combine your visit with the New Year Fireworks Laser and Drone Show ,It's Fantastic beside the Thames across from the London Eye .
You definitely need to check out Cornwall (south west of England) on your next visit. It is the number one holiday spot for Brits who choose to holiday at home. We have stunning coast line, beautiful beaches with crystal clear waters. You can visit Lands End, as the name would suggest it's literally the end of England.

At 10pm every night there is the Ceremony of the keys at the Tower of London. A limited amount of people can attend each time, about 20. It's absolutely amazing to watch, only twice in the history of the tower it hasn't take place and that was during 2 nights of heavy bombing in ww2. It's when they lock up and secure the Tower for the night. you actually get shut in and have to go through a tiny hidden door to get out. After all the Beafeaters live at the Tower and need to come and go even when it's closed. Obviously I'm not going to say where it's situated..
I despair sometimes that tourists only go to the places that are for the tourists lol. In your last piece to camera in the direction you are looking past the camera is the church where William Penn was married. Just on the other side of the thames about a mile and a half east is a small graveyard where the Captain of the Mayflower is buried and on the foreshore nearby is where the Mayflower began it's voyage and was eventually broken up. I should be a tour guide lol. Still I don't suppose Americans come to London for US history but English. Glad that you enjoyed your your visit to my hometown. :)
@Mat-eq8mk Because there is more to the uk than London. London is a tourist trap with tourist prices. You venture further afield and there are some lovely places to visit where you're not paying extoriant prices like in London.
@@lizvickers7156 There are plenty of amazing places to visit in the UK, but they're visiting London - and when you visit London, you want to see Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge, St Pauls and so on. The first comment on these videos is ALWAYS some hipster prick saying something about the "real London" and directing people to some grotty foreign street market in stab central.
Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London are both a thousand years old. That part of the Tower of London is Roman. Also at 3 Savile Row is where The Beatles played their famous last live performance on the roof. Glad you found us Londoners a friendly bunch. We really are, although you’ll always hear from Northerners that they’re more friendly. They aren’t 😊 Lovely video of my city.
Of course it's one of the world's great cities, but the quality of service, and even to some extent the quality of many walk-in restaurants, is often better in Canterbury, Oxford, Cambridge, Bath, Bristol, and the other nice cities of England less than 3 hours away. You've got to go to at least one of those cities at least for a day trip if you're coming to the UK. You'll also find a £200 a night hotel there is like a £400 a night hotel in London!
What you thought was the remnant of a tower was part of the London wall, it is 2,000 year old, when London was called Londinium by the Romans. There are still parts of the wall around the City of London and remains of housing. You barely saw London - It is 3 x bigger than NYC. You need a week to even see a good chunk of it.
The arts, music, theatre, National and Tate galleries, and my favourite the portrait gallery. London though careworn by austerity is yet a great international city.

London is arguably the greatest tourist city on the planet for sightseeing. You could visit twenty times and not run out of things to see and do. You'll find literally every nationality on earth represented in it's people, which can be both a good and bad thing about London. Around 71% of citizens are not originally from the UK, which makes it one of the most multicultural cities on earth but also means you have to leave London and visit the rest of the UK to get a more accurate experience of British culture. Lived there twice in my life. In the early 70s and again in the early 00s. It can be great to live there for a while, but if you stay too long, it's a city and culture that will make you pretentious. It's always good to move back out of London again to get your feet back on the ground.
Hi , I think those ruins were actually Roman , London is 2000yrs old . If your ever back here definateky do a tour of the Tower of london , westminster Abbey is a must it has the Tombs of the past kings and queens inside among other notable historic men and women .
london is far far older than 2000 years old, its so old we dont actually know how old it is. when you look at my town poulton le fylde in the north west of england that has existed for 12 THOUSAND years, but was granted township in 1086 but never gained a market charter despite being a market town. also the corperation of the city of london (the city of london is a corperation) is the oldest corperation in the world and no one knows who founded it or who owns it now.
Hi, Agreed. Can't remember but was probably Roman, I think it was part of the old walls of the City, but mostly there would have been a sign describing it. Am certain it has nothing to do with the actual Tower
@claregale9011 it is attributed to king lud. Of the luddites but we don't k ow if he just took over the settlement or founded it. There's a lot of mystery in London. The Royal family is barred from entering the city of London. They have their own elections their own police force their own government. Ita a mystery. Who owns the city of London corperation
You asked for some tips for a future visit. To be honest, you didn't see much based on this video. Try Kew Gardens, The British Museum, Covent Garden, Westminster Abbey, St Pauls cathedral, Madam Tussauds, the London Zoo, Hyde Park, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Borough Market. I could go on. Cheers for the video.
Rip off prices to see Westminster Abbey, tower of London, and St Paul's . Tower of London was sensibly priced 20 plus years ago. St Paul's and Westminster Abbey were free to get into!
@@freddiemac1438and there are loads of old City churches that are completely free to visit. Some are manned by volunteer guides who will happilly tell you all about the church's history.
London is absolutely fantastic - one of the most versatile, fascinating and amazing cities in the world. However, you'll probably have noticed from several of the comments here that some of our fellow citizens from the dull and dreary provinces permanently nurse an attitude of grievance and hostility to London and a giant chip on both shoulders because they are consumed by jealousy. Some blame immigration, but their attitude was no different back in the days before large scale immigration began. Pathetic, aren't they? There are lovely, fascinating places out in the sticks too, but they are no more "real" than magnificent London
No doubt about it: London IS the Greatest City in the World. But we have our untraveled insular types as well. Many years ago, I was asked by a chap in a workshop just outside of Southampton what London was like (how DO you answer that?). He'd never been there, and was going up at the weekend with his wife. He was 26 at the time, and was only two hours driving/train time from the Capital! Amazing.
@@appytight8468 Get out of your bubble and visit the rest of your country. London is static. Once you've seen it, it's time to move on. British heritage resided over by immigrants and far left irrationals who hate their own country and history.
@KlingConnection Not everyone in London has a posh accent. There is a very big misconception that British and especially English people are all posh. 8 of the 10 statistically poorest regions in Western Europe are in the UK. Im from Manchester in the north of England, half the city is pretty run down and poor, with row houses often with no front garden and low income housing. Just going to Central London, which is statistically thr richest place in Europe barring a few Central Paris Arrondissements will not give you a true picture of even how London really is. The Eastern Districts in London are far poorer than where you visited. That is the real london in my eyes.
Hello 🙋♂️ from the UK 🇬🇧 I’m glad you enjoyed your trip, next time have a bite to eat in the restaurant Rules it is the oldest restaurant in London it’s covered in history it was briefly in a scene from the film spectre James Bond.
"not heard before" And let's pray we never hear it again. Why do SO many Americans speak English as though it was a foreign language which they are still in the process of mastering? Why don't they got their shit together yet, Dude?
@bobbybigboyyes are we talking about the same Yanks that bailed your island out during World War Two? Oh ya... I think they earned how to speak whoever they wished
@@aarayaentertainment " that bailed your island out " Translation: " that came in two years after the Brits ALONE stood up to Nazi tyranny, a stand which cost them the Empire and 300 years of accumulated treasure (which Roosevelt yearned to get his greedy hands on - an AMERICAN 'empire' being HIS 'war aim'); a stand on the Front Line of a world conflict which, had Britain failed, would have very soon resulted in the Nazification of America, too - given the advanced nature of German weapons technology" "I think they earned how to speak whoever they wished" ?????????????????????????????????????????? THAT linguistically atrocious sentence ALONE demonstrates that, even if you DO belong to the only nation to have dropped atomic bombs on the innocent civilians of an already-defeated nation, you are in NO position to inform US of your putative 'right' to DESTROY our beautiful language, too! No shit y'all! What egregious bollocks you speak, you silly little man!
I know shop staff don't bother customers in the uk until they seem to need help but the shoe staff certainly seemed to keep his distance , hope you found something to your taste there !!!
Lived there for 5 years, couldn't wait to move back to the Mountains, lakes and Rivers of the English/Welsh marches (England/Wales borderlands) where I was originally from. Like all big cities, do the tourist thing for a few days then get out, there's plenty to see around the UK, especially off the beaten track. If you want the "British Seaside" head West to Devon/Cornwall there's proper sandy beaches there, if you're more outdoors person head to wilds of Central and North Wales or try a few days canoeing down the Rivers of the Marches or hiking in the Lake District and Yorkshire, into history, then visit dozens of Castles on the England/Wales border or go to the Black Country in the Midlands for Industrial museums, canals and history. Want more Cities then there's Bristol, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle etc...I understand when you're on holiday you have a budget and have time restraints to see what you can see and do, but seeing some tourists mainly American just do London, Stonehenge and then end up sitting on the pebble covered beach in Brighton. for some reason makes me sigh...a lot. 😀

You want to go to a city with a knife crime rate. A city that costs an absolute fortune to live in . A city infested with gangs . A city that stinks in summer. A city full of pickpockets. A city that takes hours to cross the road . A city to have your phone snatched by drive by cyclists . A city where the police are nonexistent. Better to leave than arrive.
Not what it was. The 'sights' are the same, from the British Museum to Big Ben, etc., but the atmosphere used to be uniquely British. Now, ironically, diversity has made it just the same as any other global city. You'll hardly hear English spoken in the streets, you'll not find an English restaurant in the place and the bar staff from everywhere but London. Even the fish and chip shops are foreigner owned.

@@lorrainemoynehan6791 it came from his granchildm, how he liked a walk in cheshire, il get you the name of the walk. The Tolkien Trail its called, a lot of the names found in lord of the rings are found and predate this walk. such as Shire Lane and the river shireburn that built stoney hurst.
@@lorrainemoynehan6791 what you are getting confused wuith is the positions on the map on how it relates to earth, because lord of the rings is set on earth. a lot of people dont realise that think on this hobberton is a village oxford is a town and looks nothing like the hobbits village. bascuially where oxford is NOW is where hobberton stood. minas tyrith stood where florence is now. not that hobbets village is based on oxford :)
@@lorrainemoynehan6791 also note cheshires nickname usedto be "the shire" ( even when there is many other shiores, when anyone said THE shire they where talking about cheshire ( should have been lancashire *grumbles* dwarfs for example and the dwarf city isnt based anywhere NEAR yorkshire but the dwarves are yorkshire people

If you had none of the british movie clips it would be alot better. They add nothing at all and are not needed. Just get on with the video without the clips. The music is not needed either its just a distraction. You never showed anything really apart from saville row A bit boring really.
No stay out of LONDONISTAN that place doesn't represent us English anymore and its a foreign country to us now sadly but if you want to see the real England go to Oxfordshire, Chichester, Winchester, Yorkshire, Cheltenham, Cotswold,Rutland,Wells,Leeds,Canterbury,The lake District,Cambridge,Derby,Lincolnshire,Lancashire,Manchester,Sussex Liverpool,Chester,Northumberland,Uxbridge and Cambridge and many more counties
Whereas London is full of fluent English speakers and educated people who can construct sentences. World travellers! Avoid small town racists who talk about Londonistan because they're scared of the rest of the world. Come to London.

I really love the North, in fact the whole of England has so much to offer but please London is part of the real England, it saddens me that so many say this.
im from the north of england, londoners arnt friendly to us northerners, i remember i was goign round the pubs and found myself i think it was in mayfair in this posh winebar with wine in racks all out where the customers where driinking and i had a pint, in my tracksuit in there, i had a broken foot at the tiem, and my phonbe battery died so i asked them to phone me a taxi, they said they couldnt do that as they wernt allowed, after discussing it with the manager, so i said ok, then can you give me a taxi numbner, and to which they told me they couldtn do as it was against the rules the manager also repeated this, so i said ook, i have a broken foot i cant walk, far and they just shrugged, so i thought right fook them, and ordered anotehr pint, and they told me it was my last pint pint there (i wasnt drunk it was like my second pint) but i didnt fit in there with all the fancy dressed people and being a northewrnber with a loud booming voice amidst the posh quite souther nfairies, so i went round the tables sittign down talking to the other customers, the staff and manager where HORRIFIED and withing 5-10 minutes i had a taxi waiting for me. which they paid me for JUST to get rid of me lol, and i got banned in a chiippy for talking to the people in the queueue, well i say talking i asked if they did gravy, to the other custoemrs, and they didnt, and they where discusted and escorted me off the premesis and told me not to return, with my chips. they told me i couldnt have fish as it took too longt and they wanted me out, they would sell me a portion of chips but i was banned for life.

Rip off prices to see Westminster Abbey, tower of London, and St Paul's . Tower of London was sensibly priced 20 plus years ago. St Paul's and Westminster Abbey were free to get into!
@@davethatcher4954 no such thing as a free lunch - but lots of museums are entirely free so stop whinging!!!

London is absolutely fantastic - one of the most versatile, fascinating and amazing cities in the world. However, you'll probably have noticed from several of the comments here that some of our fellow citizens from the dull and dreary provinces permanently nurse an attitude of grievance and hostility to London and a giant chip on both shoulders because they are consumed by jealousy. Some blame immigration, but their attitude was no different back in the days before large scale immigration began. Pathetic, aren't they? There are lovely, fascinating places out in the sticks too, but they are no more "real" than magnificent London

No doubt about it: London IS the Greatest City in the World. But we have our untraveled insular types as well. Many years ago, I was asked by a chap in a workshop just outside of Southampton what London was like (how DO you answer that?). He'd never been there, and was going up at the weekend with his wife. He was 26 at the time, and was only two hours driving/train time from the Capital! Amazing.
@@appytight8468 it was great but it Turning into a big pile of steaming shit
@@appytight8468 Get out of your bubble and visit the rest of your country. London is static. Once you've seen it, it's time to move on. British heritage resided over by immigrants and far left irrationals who hate their own country and history.
@KlingConnection Not everyone in London has a posh accent. There is a very big misconception that British and especially English people are all posh. 8 of the 10 statistically poorest regions in Western Europe are in the UK. Im from Manchester in the north of England, half the city is pretty run down and poor, with row houses often with no front garden and low income housing. Just going to Central London, which is statistically thr richest place in Europe barring a few Central Paris Arrondissements will not give you a true picture of even how London really is. The Eastern Districts in London are far poorer than where you visited. That is the real london in my eyes.
Hello 🙋♂️ from the UK 🇬🇧 I’m glad you enjoyed your trip, next time have a bite to eat in the restaurant Rules it is the oldest restaurant in London it’s covered in history it was briefly in a scene from the film spectre James Bond.

"outerior walls " there is a new Americanism i have not heard before.
The one that gets me now.. is Colourized…… you mean coloured
"not heard before"
And let's pray we never hear it again. Why do SO many Americans speak English as though it was a foreign language which they are still in the process of mastering? Why don't they got their shit together yet, Dude?
@bobbybigboyyes are we talking about the same Yanks that bailed your island out during World War Two? Oh ya... I think they earned how to speak whoever they wished
It's definitely a curious observation! Language evolves, and sometimes it seems like people are just trying to find their footing.
@@aarayaentertainment
" that bailed your island out "
Translation: " that came in two years after the Brits ALONE stood up to Nazi tyranny, a stand which cost them the Empire and 300 years of accumulated treasure (which Roosevelt yearned to get his greedy hands on - an AMERICAN 'empire' being HIS 'war aim'); a stand on the Front Line of a world conflict which, had Britain failed, would have very soon resulted in the Nazification of America, too - given the advanced nature of German weapons technology"
"I think they earned how to speak whoever they wished"
??????????????????????????????????????????
THAT linguistically atrocious sentence ALONE demonstrates that, even if you DO belong to the only nation to have dropped atomic bombs on the innocent civilians of an already-defeated nation, you are in NO position to inform US of your putative 'right' to DESTROY our beautiful language, too!
No shit y'all!
What egregious bollocks you speak, you silly little man!
I know shop staff don't bother customers in the uk until they seem to need help but the shoe staff certainly seemed to keep his distance , hope you found something to your taste there !!!
They are actually very helpful and before going there, we already bought something online from their shop.
Lived there for 5 years, couldn't wait to move back to the Mountains, lakes and Rivers of the English/Welsh marches (England/Wales borderlands) where I was originally from. Like all big cities, do the tourist thing for a few days then get out, there's plenty to see around the UK, especially off the beaten track. If you want the "British Seaside" head West to Devon/Cornwall there's proper sandy beaches there, if you're more outdoors person head to wilds of Central and North Wales or try a few days canoeing down the Rivers of the Marches or hiking in the Lake District and Yorkshire, into history, then visit dozens of Castles on the England/Wales border or go to the Black Country in the Midlands for Industrial museums, canals and history. Want more Cities then there's Bristol, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle etc...I understand when you're on holiday you have a budget and have time restraints to see what you can see and do, but seeing some tourists mainly American just do London, Stonehenge and then end up sitting on the pebble covered beach in Brighton. for some reason makes me sigh...a lot. 😀

That’s the one thing I hate , since Covid you have to book to go into loads of attractions in London. It’s about time that is stopped.
Totally get you, it’s such a pain! I just want to wander around without having to plan my life a week in advance!
Well, if you like cities, London is one of the greatest, and has everything a great city should have.
I totally agree. especially how they preserve it.

The whole uk is historic peeps can spend their whole lives studying Richard III for example if you do return try away from London
True, London might have the crown jewels, but the rest of the UK has a treasure trove of lesser-known stories waiting to be uncovered!
airports dont have the same rules as countries for what can and cantt be sold.
I agree! ☝

You want to go to a city with a knife crime rate. A city that costs an absolute fortune to live in . A city infested with gangs . A city that stinks in summer. A city full of pickpockets. A city that takes hours to cross the road . A city to have your phone snatched by drive by cyclists . A city where the police are nonexistent. Better to leave than arrive.
There are always bad guys in every places . Luckily, for us. We didn't experience it .
Were you wearing a seatbelt in your car?
Believe us, Sean is wearing one 😜.
Not what it was. The 'sights' are the same, from the British Museum to Big Ben, etc., but the atmosphere used to be uniquely British. Now, ironically, diversity has made it just the same as any other global city. You'll hardly hear English spoken in the streets, you'll not find an English restaurant in the place and the bar staff from everywhere but London. Even the fish and chip shops are foreigner owned.
This was our first trip in London ( especially Sean ) . We still enjoyed despite of the changes happened here but we would love to feel the good old times of real England . Thank you for your insights. We really appreciate it . Please don't forget to hit subscribe button for more England trip! 🩷

Only an American could go to Saville Row dressed like a homeless person and get away with it. 😂
Charming
With the money he has spent there over the years, they will give him a pass
When young working in the summer in a Tudor cafe two trampy looking men came in and ordered the most expensive food, fillet steak etc. I thought to ask the owner before passing the order on. She looked and laughed and told me they were their wealthiest customers. I learned a lot that day.
Wealthy people do not have to flaunt it.
Going to Saville Row looking like Wurzel Gummage ,He dear
The scarecrow? Now that is going back some years
@SeanKling Well I go back alot of years ,Actually I was a Tad unkind to the Guy .I Thought he was going to be Totally negative about London, I was wrong I can only apologise.
just to let you know lord of the rings is based around lancashire in england, lancashire cheshire and a bit of yorkshire is what inspired tolkien
really, my understanding was the shires was based on Oxfordshire. Where do you get your info from if you don't mind?

@@lorrainemoynehan6791 it came from his granchildm, how he liked a walk in cheshire, il get you the name of the walk.
The Tolkien Trail its called, a lot of the names found in lord of the rings are found and predate this walk. such as Shire Lane and the river shireburn that built stoney hurst.
@@lorrainemoynehan6791 what you are getting confused wuith is the positions on the map on how it relates to earth, because lord of the rings is set on earth. a lot of people dont realise that think on this hobberton is a village oxford is a town and looks nothing like the hobbits village.
bascuially where oxford is NOW is where hobberton stood. minas tyrith stood where florence is now. not that hobbets village is based on oxford :)
@@lorrainemoynehan6791 also note cheshires nickname usedto be "the shire" ( even when there is many other shiores, when anyone said THE shire they where talking about cheshire ( should have been lancashire *grumbles* dwarfs for example and the dwarf city isnt based anywhere NEAR yorkshire but the dwarves are yorkshire people
20 years ago yes. Now overly gentrified and generic, too much crime and just basically run down.
It's interesting how much can change in just two decades. Gentrification definitely has its pros and cons, and it's important to recognize both sides of the story.
Depends what you want to see, the museums are great but there are probably better places to go in the UK

Please we are not part of the EU so you can come to England anytime and go to Europe on another trip.
Totally! England's got its own vibe, and then you can hop over to Europe for even more fun! Let's go!

If you had none of the british movie clips it would be alot better. They add nothing at all and are not needed. Just get on with the video without the clips. The music is not needed either its just a distraction. You never showed anything really apart from saville row A bit boring really.

No stay out of LONDONISTAN that place doesn't represent us English anymore and its a foreign country to us now sadly but if you want to see the real England go to Oxfordshire, Chichester, Winchester, Yorkshire, Cheltenham, Cotswold,Rutland,Wells,Leeds,Canterbury,The lake District,Cambridge,Derby,Lincolnshire,Lancashire,Manchester,Sussex
Liverpool,Chester,Northumberland,Uxbridge and Cambridge and many more counties
Whereas London is full of fluent English speakers and educated people who can construct sentences. World travellers! Avoid small town racists who talk about Londonistan because they're scared of the rest of the world. Come to London.

im from the north of england, londoners arnt friendly to us northerners, i remember i was goign round the pubs and found myself i think it was in mayfair in this posh winebar with wine in racks all out where the customers where driinking and i had a pint, in my tracksuit in there, i had a broken foot at the tiem, and my phonbe battery died so i asked them to phone me a taxi, they said they couldnt do that as they wernt allowed, after discussing it with the manager, so i said ok, then can you give me a taxi numbner, and to which they told me they couldtn do as it was against the rules the manager also repeated this, so i said ook, i have a broken foot i cant walk, far and they just shrugged, so i thought right fook them, and ordered anotehr pint, and they told me it was my last pint pint there (i wasnt drunk it was like my second pint) but i didnt fit in there with all the fancy dressed people and being a northewrnber with a loud booming voice amidst the posh quite souther nfairies, so i went round the tables sittign down talking to the other customers, the staff and manager where HORRIFIED and withing 5-10 minutes i had a taxi waiting for me. which they paid me for JUST to get rid of me lol, and i got banned in a chiippy for talking to the people in the queueue, well i say talking i asked if they did gravy, to the other custoemrs, and they didnt, and they where discusted and escorted me off the premesis and told me not to return, with my chips. they told me i couldnt have fish as it took too longt and they wanted me out, they would sell me a portion of chips but i was banned for life.
Really, we're not all unfriendly. You can't tar every Londoner with the same brush.
Maybe it was about you and your attitude, not because of where you were from.
You get Wankers everywhere. Perhaps it was a snob thing. You would have been all right down the Old Kent Rd :)
