    If you go to the Tower of London, do so in the morning and go directly to the Crown Jewels first. The line is relatively short in the morning and gets longer and longer as the day goes by.

    Fantastic, informative Video thanks. If I may add a few tips .Waterloo Bridge , stand in the middle after dark .Its the best view in London! For musios Abbey Rd studios. Finally check Love is Murder by Al Ross and the Planets video ' great Thames views and iconic Battersea Power Station for Floyd fans.

    As an American who's been to London a few times, I can say you're spot on! My three favorites were the British museum which was awesome then Tower Bridge and Harrods. But I also got to see many other sites and they are all great in their own way. I also recommend taking a tour on the Thames, Big Ben and the London bus tour which allows you to get on and off at your leisure at any destination you need

    Amazing video
    Really good job
    I’m cuban and in my visit to London I visited a lot of the places you mention
    I would also recommend (I’m a designer so maybe a lot of the places I visited are design related jajaja)
    Batter sea power station
    The design museum
    A bike ride around the city
    Brixton
    The O2 dome
    Shoreditch
    China town
    Picadilly Circus
    Camden Town
    King cross station
    Canary warf
    Primorse Hill
    Marble arch
    Covent Garden
    Borough Market
    Barbican Centre
    And obviously the trip around the river
    At the end I liked the city so much that I’m moving there
    When people ask me what I like the most about london I always say the grass
    Parks are amazingly green I love it

    That was probably the best video I have seen on the sights of London! Your quick visit to each site, referenced locations relative to other sites you mentioned, background information and the relevance of each site and why it made the list were all relevant and useful. Thanks for that and I have saved this video for my London trip. I will be going with my 19 year old grandson who still, for reasons I can’t explain based on my expectations, enjoys hanging out with his granny. He and I enjoyed going to science museums and I would love to take him into the one in London. It is the only time I can get away with going to something like that. Like everyone else, I want to see the Royal Museum. I would like to see the Greek stonework, an on the fence about the Egyptian section (although I really wanted to see that section for many years). Some of the pictures you showed such as the fashions of the 17th and 18th centuries, the busts, and something else I will need to rewatch to remember gives me the desire to spend a couple of days there. Being such an iconic location in London, I will want to visit St. Paul’s Cathedral but mainly to see the inside and look closely at the architecture. If they have any historic events documented and displayed, I would want to visit that, as well. I have had the Tate Modern on my list for some time but I don’t remember why. Unless there is something spectacular at the green parks, I don’t know if I will rush over. But after a week or two of concrete and people, I may sing a different tune. Buckingham Palace, I had wanted to see until I realized just how many people pile up to see the changing of the guard. But it is on my grandson’s list so we will be there. I think I will get access to the inside tour(s?) though I cannot tell you why. And you didn’t ask for a dissertation so we will stop here. Thanks again for posting this video and I am anxiously awaiting your next video. 😁 AND my London vacation.

  • @nancymcewen5377
    @nancymcewen5377 5 років тому +2

    This is excellent. I would also suggest a visit to Westminster Abbey. There is a modest cost but it is breathtaking. Also, rather than Harrod's (too big!), I'd recommend a stroll along Piccadilly to Fortnum & Mason for an astonishing variety of teas and to F&M's neighbor, Hatchard's, arguably the nicest bookstore on the planet.
    As long as you are in Trafalgar Square admiring Nelson's Column, duck into the church of St. Martin in the Fields. They hold frequent free concerts at lunchtime and the Cafe in the Crypt, in the crypt of the church, serves very tasty English food. It's also the only place I know of where brass rubbing is on offer. It's a great way to entertain the kids for a half hour or so and for a modest price you will have a charming bit of art for the wall at home. Don't miss Churchill's War Rooms, where the Allies ran WW2.
    If you have a day to spare, go to Hampton Court Palace. It's about a half hour train ride away to see where Henry VIII lived. Magnificent!

    Love London. My favourite was the London eye. Actually I loved it all. Harrods is very impressive. We had fish and chips and champagne there for lunch. Awesome, but expensive. The thing is, you have to do it at least once. There are still a few on my list that I didn’t get to. For my next visit...

    • @71LibraryGal
      @71LibraryGal 4 роки тому

      To each their own, but these were my least favourite things to do/see in London: expensive, touristy, not historical nor interesting. The view of the city from St. Paul’s dome is much more beautiful and comprehensive than the Eye view, plus the cost of getting into St. Paul’s is much cheaper than getting into the Eye.

You didn't mention it, but the National Portrait Gallery is wonderful (& free), right near Trafalgar Square. If possible, people should see Westminster Abbey & take a trip out to Windsor Castle (both venues free admission with purchase of the "London Pass".) Next trip, I'm gonna do the boat cruise down the Thames and see Greenwich! Thanks for sharing!

It seems not too difficult to get around and the Oyster card makes it pretty affordable. Since you're a Londoner, maybe do a video and show us what Londoners go to. What's a day or evening out like if you want a less tourist experience????

      Personally, I would have added the Cenotaph and Downing St, and also Picadilly before the wobbly bridge, but a great video non the less.

    Thank you for your London overview. I am excited about my first visit to London and your video gave me great direction on what to highlight during my visit....
    but I have another question:
    I am a BIG James Bond fan. What would you suggest for a Bond fan visiting London? I know they are currently shooting the new Bond now. Is it possible to know where current shoots are happening or is it possible to visit the Pinewood Studios?

    Lovely video! Especially the commentary is amazing, like a quick history course! I also live in London and 100% agree with taking an oyster card, it's so worth it even if somebody just visits for 3 or 4 days. And the walking shoes are an absolute essentials. I would also suggest picking up a free tube map and "walking map" which highlights all the famous sights and how to get to them. They are available at all Tube (London Underground) stations. I subscribed to your amazing channel! Big thumbs up! x Gina

      Gina Phoenix. People with British bank accounts and a contactless debit or credit card don’t need to bother with Oyster cards. The fares are the same or sometimes even cheaper than using the Oyster card and no need to get the deposit back when you leave London.
      Our people with foreign cards get on I don’t know,

    Excellent video. All sights shown are must see sights. Also, I have really enjoyed the two hour London Walks guided tours of the lesser known London sights.

    Finally a no nonsense city guide, as how the city tour should be.
