I think its a common misconception that you eat fish and chips in a pub because you actually get them from a specific fish and chip shop :)
Yeh, I've only really ever got them from chippys
Food from a pub is usually crisps, salted peanuts or pork scratchings. If you're really lucky maybe a pie
Yeah, Weatherspoons is great but not for fish and chips
Yeah, never even seen fish and chips on a pub menu before...
Also what they ate wasn't proper chippy fish and chips.
That was not traditional fish and chips! That was frozen breaded fish from a box like they sell in the frozen food section at a supermarket. They look gross!
Too true.
You need to try proper fish and chips from a chippy. It's very different to the one you had
A proper chippy by the seaside are where you get the best fish and chips.
That's the third London Bridge. The first one was medieval, and was very large and covered with shops, whose rents paid for its construction and maintenance. Eventually it became such a financial burden and nightmare to maintain that it was torn down and replaced by a Victorian bridge. That bridge outlived its useful life with massive growth of vehicle traffic, and it was auctioned off and was shipped stone by stone to Lake Havasu, Arizona, where it stands today. (I visited it last August!) The ugly one is the modern bridge built in the 1960s. (This is off the top of my head so some details may be wrong.)
Chris Nelson I think your correct. I also visit the London Bridge in Lake Havazu, Arizona. We were there for annual Christmas Boat Parade. It was pretty cool.
@@cherylann9781 I live in Lake Havasu! 6 years, Original London Bridge here is beauitful and how we access the island!
Thank Goodness you were here to say this. I'm trying not to be that person but I'm sitting here getting mad at Kara and Nate for not googling further. Oh well.
The Americans fucking brought London bridge
You saved me from saying it.x
Bruh you went to a Wetherspoons for traditional English food 😂😂
adrenalinejamie literally the worst place they could have picked 😂😂
I know! And in the last video they only had international food!!
I can't think of anything more traditional!!
Don't diss spoons, it's great for the price especially if you are a student
haha - i did think the same thing but they probably didn't realise its such a cheap place... i must say though, £1:35 for a refillable coffee is amazing ! x
Them dying in the coldness everyone else who lives in the UK be like it is warm
It gets much colder in the US
same for northern USians lol I’m from NY and it’s so funny when my family from the south comes to visit. they’re in winter coats in 50 degree weather and I’m in shorts😂
The nursery rhyme about London bridge talks about the old London bridge. It once had shops on it was considered a beautiful and trendy place. But, with age the bridge started to fall apart. Hence the nursery rhyme.
Top Tip. Never go to a pub for fish and chips. There is actually a really good chippy in China Town
They don’t know what a chippy issss 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩
Going to weatherspoons isn't your typical pub as it's a chain! food and drinks for affordable prices!
Love watching your daily vlogs, they keep me going on my lunch breaks!
Oh Im so sorry for the 'fish n chips'. That wasn't what it claimed to be - straight out of a freezer bag and into the microwave Im afraid. x
I love how Kara and Nate went to a Weatherspoons for their pub experience 😅 Love from the UK 🇬🇧 x
thanks That is amazing
Literally the worst choice of place to go.
I LOVE WHETHERSPOONS
Can you guys please come back to London next year sometime and I’ll take you to real pubs / restaurants / places to see. London has so much more to offer than this video did it justice for and these days you guys wouldn’t make the same mistakes 😁
As a british person I'll run through a few things for anyone watching who is thinking about visiting the UK
1) Yes it's cold and wet there at that time, because it's winter, hence the Christmas tree, things get cold in winter
2) You don't get fish and chips in a pub, you get them in a chippy, where you'd get way more chips, nice batter on the fish, it would be proper fresh fish and bigger than that
3) If you want to try a british accent amongst yourselves then go for it but don't try it in front of british people
4) The park with the ducks and squirrels was pretty standard, most parks have them enjoying their best lives
5) No one walks for an hour to visit somewhere, that's what public transport is for
6) Yeah you seat yourselves in a pub, maybe not in a gastropub
Of all the Pubs you could of gone to you went to a Wetherspoons they are disgusting
Harry Sinclair All people have different opinions. They might think it is okay? I can’t say anything about it because i’m not of the legal age to drink yet. I’m 8 years young.
Wtf Wetherspoons is class man
Jey Tarling Do you even have taste buds?
@@Harry-nx5ko Yh have u tried the chicken from there it's peng asf. Must be better in Southampton
Harry Sinclair I will find out where you live and feed you weatherspoons
Looking at these old comments...you can't please everyone. Enjoy your travels. See what you want to see, do what you want to do and tell us what you're thinking,. If people don't like it, then they can travel themselves and have their own experience. I love your videos. They are inspiring!
This comment is old now😂
I agree!!
@@Laura-dg4ez Now your comment is old :D
I'm so proud to have had you as guests in my country
Even though they kept calling it 'the Buckingham Palace'..?
WHEN IN ENGLAND, EAT CADBURYS!!!!!!!!! YOU HAVE TO!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't believe chocoholic Kara passed up on Cadburys or even Thorntons
Hopefully in your more recent vlogs you guys will return to London and give it the kudos it deserves. A chippy is a must! A proper curry and a good sausage roll 🥰
Pub curry: 👍👍
“THE Buckingham palace”
No, just no.
Yes the bucking - ham palace oh and ‘the London bridge’
omg i cringed 😭
I’m sorry these Americans
Oh you guys!!! I know this was a while ago but I love that you were here. This warms my heart. I would have loved to give you a proper British experience haha pubs, fish and chips, more pubs, more pubs....
I have just started watching your vlogs and they are amazing. They got me through lockdown so thank you. Every morning I run along that riverside and it is always cold. Top tip is to dress as if you are going into the Arctic
local chipppys in london serve the best fish and chips and its cheaper
Standing waiting to be seated in a wetherspoons is so funny, ive been watching this channel nonstop for 2 days :)
I love watching old K&N vlogs. Such a different feel to the current stuff. This one reminded me why i love London so much… ❤️
In the North "tea time" is said instead of "dinner time" there's none of the liquid version involved (unless you drink tea) I'm a coffee drinker myself too and I only know two people that prefer tea over coffee. Oh and the unicorns are a symbol of Scotland.
Must admit going around London in the rain isn't the best and hope you give it another try when the weather is better. . June to September, it can still rain but it will be warmer. The fish and chips you had were not the best, you should of gone to a proper fish and chip shop . . alot more traditional.
Marie Moss Say that now, it’s cold everyday 🥶
I love the way Nate says Bucking-ham and OMG yes, that accent Kara, spot on again haha! I look forward to it every vlog and you couldn't not do it in London!
haha bucking-HAM hehehe love it!!
My husband and I love watching your videos. Funny...I thought you made London sound like a wonderful place to visit. I did not get the idea that you were trying to give an in-depth analysis of the United Kingdom, or even London. You kept emphasizing that you went for the conference. We especially enjoyed the views of London at night. Thanks!
The old London Bridge was moved brick by brick to Lake Havasu, Arizona, USA
Toughen up Kara, cold is good for your appetite, thanks for great show
You guys make travel so much fun
Anyone should give themselves a chance by only visiting London between May and September, it's hard work in winter, but really does come alive on those 10 to 15 nice days we have per year.
I think the old London bridge was dismantled and sold off and is now in Arizona.
The London Bridge has been rebuilt several times (there's been a bridge there since the time London was a Roman colony). The 19th century London Bridge was sold and reconstructed in Arizona. The "old" London Bridge, and probably the most famous version of it, was the medieval bridge that stood for over 600 years. That was demolished though. The current version is the one in this video, and it was built in the 1970s.
The bridge is in Lake Havasu, Arizona.
The real story behind London Bridge is falling down is London Bridge was originally made out of wood, so when the great fire of
London came around, if got burnt down so we had to re-build it!
Experience from a British girl here! :D
Btw love your videos, keep travelling! ❤️❤️❤️
It's so funny to watch Kara and Nate in London. It's one of my favorite cities and I don't think they liked it much.
Aww you went to Wetherspoons for a fish and chips! Nooooooo! Come to Scotland and I'll take you for a real fish and chips!
I can't believe I'm just finding your channel! Y'all are awesome!!!
Guys you need to man-up. It's not really cold yet. Come back in February when you have to wade through the slushy snow. Also, I warned you not to have 'tourist' fish & chips and you end up in a pub having frozen fish and oven chips. You probably paid much too much as well. You should ask your Airbnb hostess where the nearest good chippy is and get some proper cod, fried in beer batter with proper chips (not skinny fries or oven chips) and then put plenty of salt n vinegar on.
Brits reading this will concur that, strangely, fish & chips is the only meal you can enjoy with a cup of tea :)
Ref the question below re the old (not the original) London bridge. A Yank bought it and had it dismantled and transported to Texas thinking he had bought Tower Bridge. Can't blame ebay for that !!
If you can, see if you have time to visit a street market this weekend. Plenty of 'old London' still out there if you can avoid the tourist magnets.
kiddlesk that fish and chips looked pathetic.......all the chippys we hit gave us so much we couldn't finish.....gigantic fish.....
It's hard to explain this to tourists.
I live in Florida and i will be freezing too. I went to London in October and was a bit cold.
I’ve been there in November and Christmas and still not that bad
Oh yeah all us British know when it's cold, pretty much all the time!
Wetherspoons fish and chips aren’t good, Wetherspoons is the budget meal when you’re just finding change in your pocket.. the fish and chip shops off the beaten track are the ones to eat
It’s funny seeing Kara and Nate not use to the weather because I am from England and one thing it’s always raining and cold but warm in the summer
I love some of the shots you got of all of our famous weird shaped buildings in The City! Wish you guys had longer in London!!
Amazing insight into the city!!
London is my favorite city in Europe, because it seems to have an exciting vibe.
Our first day in London, we were assisted by someone doing something for us. Asked us something. We said, "Yes". "From the US are we?" 😄Charming gentleman. Elsewhere, later on, we had less luck with the common language than we had expected.....
Seeing that black swan made me think of the Queen's Swan Upping, which happens in July. That's something that I've always found interesting. I bet the weather would be much more agreeable then. 😊
London is my home city and this was brilliant to watch !
The thing to bear in mind is that London isn’t really representative of England - you should try travelling out to the countryside next time and visiting some of our beautiful historic towns and villages
I’m glad you enjoyed Westminster abbey Kara with a big old grin “priceless”😃
As an American in the UK, this video is great and also hilarious.
Hahaha ! Watching one of your older videos.... I'm two hours drive from London and you have summed the place up perfectly ! Its freezing ! x
When you see a temperature in the uk automatically lower it by 20 degrees because u know the wind is gonna be unbearable.
We just got back from London so that was pretty cool to watch ☺️ you guys where totally right about buckingham palace haha. (Btw, England is spelled wrong in your intro.. just to let you know)
The beautiful London. The architecture is awesome. Londony thing to do, get some fish and chips
Also if had had time touring the WWII stuff is quite interesting. Churchills bunker (war room) is very cool!
I hope it stopped raining for you guys!!! London is so awesome in the summer. Glad you enjoyed your fish 'n' chips but next time you must get them from a chip shop by the sea in the paper its is the BEST!!! I'm from the UK in NZ and its not the same....i miss it so
OH and Kara your British accent is spot on haha
The history of London Bridge is what makes it interesting to me, how 500 years ago and earlier that bridge was wood and covered in multi-story row houses and shops from one end to another. I would have loved to have seen it back then, before fire turned it into a tragedy and left it a boring-looking thoroughfare!
You know as soon as you see the inside of the pub it’s a weatherspoons! As a British person it’s amazing seeing you guys in London! Believe me you get used to the weather, but in the 18 years I’ve been alive I still love London! And there’s still so many parts of it I’m yet to explore! I love you guys so much! Xx
Those fish and chips look awful 🤣
You guys need to come back to the UK and visit places outside of London. Head to the North and get a really chippy tea
The ice rink at the end is amazing g iv e been every yewr, but I recommend going to middle of Vienna for an outdoor ice rink
Every time I go over to London I see the caramelised peanuts and they smell so good they are always there , I live in the uk btw 😊
You guys should've gone to Shoreditch market on a Sunday, you would love it, best part of London for sure. So much culture and art!
Not a bad second day! Fish and chips are best eaten in a fish and chip restaurant - not a pub. Your fish and chips looked like it was straight out of a box.
kara and Nate. I think you should spend more time on the incredible history of the UK and London. Love your stuff though. Keep it up
Absolutely loving your videos guys!! Me and my husband have just starting out our own UA-cam channel LIVING4TODAY, so it’s really encouraging watching your videos especially the one you made in Myanmar about how far you have come in 2 years. The reason I’m commenting on this post is because we are from England! I loved how you had fish and chips in a pub which looked like a Whetherspoon chain which we love! Nice and cheap :). Also loved your attempt at the British accent and yes Buckingham palace is literally a place you visit, take a photo and then move to the next. Can’t wait to see more of your videos! You guys seem very real and down to earth xXx
This is so surreal that you’re exploring where I live
I love how Kara and Nate went to spoons for their fish and chips 😂
Next time get a 1, 2 or 3 day pass for all public travel, it’s unbelievably economical. The open-top hop on hop off bus is really worth the money too particularly if you’re on a whistle stop break.
We went inside the place during it’s summer opening in 2016 and it was AMAZING!!!
Funny and cute how you and Nate still have a little bit of Tennessee twang in this video still 😊
Can't believe you went to whetherspoons for fish and chips, so many better pubs for fish and chips or even better a chippy
London: 15 degrees Celsius.
Kara and Nate: IT IS SO COLD I AM GONNA FREEZE!!
People that live in London: well today is hot!
I agree😂. I live in Yorkshire and it was 15 degrees the other day and it’s December. It was proper warm
The fact they went to spoons for fish and chips and that it looks like THAT really doesnt give a good impression of good fish and chips 😂
One thing besides all the history which I absolutely loved was in history heaven, the train and public transport was really good
Wonderful video. I want to see that museum.
That fish and chips you got looked so dead it looked plastic
You can way nicer fish and chips basically anywhere else in London
You guys should visit Peckham beautiful place😍
I know I’m like 4 years late but fully obsessed with these videos, I’m from london and I can’t help but laugh at your comment on the bridge😂 America brought it thinking it was tower bridge aswell haha its so ugly but London is so cold it’s just normal to us haha
English “chip shop fish and chips” are the best. These tend to be too fancy in big cities like London but if you go to more residential areas you’ll always be able to find a chip ship on the corner of the street. These are real British fish and chips (and sooo much cheaper!). You went to a Wetherspoons which is the cheapest pub chain so it is very common with students and the food quality isn’t the best! I hope you can try proper fish and chips one day (I like my chips with cheese on) 😍
Hey guys, it looks like you had a miserable time coming to London.
I am a lawyer, and if you happen to visit again then I would be more than happy to show you guys around. London is beautiful and has many beautiful and weird places to visit!
You need to redo your visit to the UK and go to some regional cities! Highly recommend Bath and Winchester!
Great to see you in London. Sorry the weather wasn't better.
Wow 🤩 I use to live in that building 0:57 at the 15 th floor for 2 years 😀 The best flat ever 💕
We live in London 😉 Let us know when you will come again and we will take you around 😀👍
I live right by Tower Bridge so it is nice to see you both in my area ! :-)
Awwwww...London....fish and chips, Manchester United, the Plays.....and its all TO FREAKING EXPENSIVE....love the vid guys....and gals. keep them coming....also...was it as cold as the Everest trek?
I hope you guys had a good time in London! My wife and I just went this summer! Was also going to see if you have looked into the Chase Sapphire Reserve card yet!?
Your London accent cracked me up every time, proper funny!
I've never wanted to go to London...but this looks wonderful.
You guys should try and get to Windsor and see the castle and changing of the guards which happens everyday at 1045am. . Not far from London, you can just jump on a train from Waterloo and you will arrive at Windsor & Eton Riverside station.
Best Fish n chips are "up north" east coast of UK like Whitby.
Rai Karklins Keep going - you'll get the best fish and chips in the north east of Scotland!
Scarborough!
Skipton do good fish sand chips
Yess I go there all of the time they are the best x
@@matthewparrott8369 Where in Skipton? I live in Harrogate.
I love love love London.
If you go back to England, go to Alnwick Castle. It’s the home of the Harry Potter castle.
THE London Bridge, the one that's falling down was replaced in 1831. It had stood for 600 years, so not surprising it was falling down. The present bridge is the second since then. Coffee is British. Coffee shops of the 1700s were meeting places which began many great institutions.
I live in London and I’m using this to have a look a it as I can’t right now lol
The Bridge fell down during the great fire of London :)
Nate: "kara doesent handle the cold well. " a few years later. kara jumps into the antartica sea near the south pole. :) dang that was a cold experience of London.
Love your old videos hehe
All the meuseums of the Smithsonian are free. Thats 19 meuseums and the Nathional Zoo.
If you guys come to England again please have fish and chips by the sea xgreat vid
Hi K&N. I'm kind of upset you managed to portray London as thoroughly miserable! (I accept the weather was). Usually your enthusiasm and inquisitiveness is infectious, but I didn't see any of that here. You seemed to mope around the generic tourist attractions, rather than scratching underneath the surface, just a little. E.g. you ate fish & chips in the largest (famously crap for food) chain pub in the United Kingdom. You could've attended one of many fantastic food markets in London - Borough, Spitalfields, Camden, to name but a few. There are endless cool things to do in the capital... Shoreditch, Camden, walking the Southbank, exploring Soho and the West End, Notting Hill and the famous Portobello Road market or wrap up warm and explore the parks or some of the multiple diverse, characferful neighbourhoods. As Samuel Johnson famously said - "When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life". Please try London again and do it justice!
tbh London looks dull and overrated
@@kulik03 it does whenever people from other places go and do the 'traditional things' which nobody who lives in the UK actually does
You want fish and chips next time in London try Toffs in Muswell Hill. Best ever🤤
Just reminds me of the apprentice uk❤️😀
Haha, actually looks like a kinda nice day for that time for year! 😂 hope you come back, you might have. I am really far behind! X
The London bridge of the nursery ryhme, is in Lake Havasu, Arizona.
