I'm from NYC but work in London and London is my #1 favorite city on earth. Primarily because of the interesting layout, neighborhoods, elegance, extremely international vibe, markets, buzzing streets, quality of the restaurants and shops, events, culture, history, nightlife etc. It is way more interesting to walk around in than NYC because it's not on a boring American style grid street pattern. You actually feel like you can get lost in London and that there are endless neighborhoods to explore, including narrow alleyways. I get that same feeling in Bangkok, Tokyo and Paris, my 3 other favorite cities.
London, really? Do not see the appeal in the slightest. Migrants taken over the city, dirty streets, knife crime daily occurrence, food shopping is a nightmare as not adequate supply and choice. Dude, try Moscow to be really gobsmacked(traveling with Russell, Baklykov. Live)
You’re totally right! Never been to US but for us London is definitely super interesting because of the different neighbourhoods, food options and as you mentioned - the international vibe! The amazing thing is that many cultures also coexist and work together in harmony, so no one feels rejected :) Thank you for this comment because you can really compare this city to other giant metropolises (still keeping in mind the uniqueness of London) 😍🇬🇧

Hi Jay and Karolina, Just pointing out to your viewers that the places you visited look nothing like this mid-week in February, this is how things are in summer.
Hi Jay and Karolina, I’m loving all your videos in this country. I like the interaction you have with the locals and your impressions of where you visit. I must point out that The Golden Chippy is unfortunately a bit of a trek from the centre of Greenwich, but often the best meals are not to be had in the most convenient and spacious locations in my experience. I thought you Karolina seemed quite comfortable in London, maybe due to your time spent there in your teens. I’ve just realised it’s not this video in which you visited Greenwich 😢 but you will know what I’m talking about as it was featured on a previous video.
Glad you enjoyed it! I’m always trying to film the video in a pov vlog style for you to feel like you’re there with us 😍 It adds on a different perspective! Hope you’re going to like the upcoming videos too!
Guys you missed all the flags where your was walking to Churchill Statue you was also walking around London on Commonwealth Day. All the flags of the commonwealth around you.I dont rate bough market at all its so over priced and such long ques. So close to bough market is the Southwark Cathedral its worth a visit. All the other places I have been, In Travaglia square you have the National Portrait gallery, Not to be confused with the National gallery. as its to the side of the National Gallery, The restaurant in the National Portrait Gallery has some of the best views, for the price of a coffee, I lived in London for 24 years as a teacher the only decent places are the tourist places, The city is finished after brexit, Have you seen the new shopping center inside the old Chealse power station its worth a visit you will amazed, Merci Jean-Marc
Good suggestions and commentary! During filming we probably are likely to miss some of the things so forgive us 😂 We feel like we need to come back to London to capture more of it! You must be a pro in knowing all the hidden gems after living in this captivating city for such a long time 😬🎊
Houses of Parliament not 'House' of Parliament, and Westminster not Westminister Bridge.. there are no ministers on the bridge only in Parliament next door.
That luggage is nice! the opening scene with you both is perfect. Wow really good day with the sky & everything for the picture. Your video is so clear. Thank you for the tour😊
We’re loving our Level8 cases as well as the rucksacks ❤️ Such great quality 😊 And they’re often having different seasonal promos too (next one I think is coming on the 4th July) so it’s really worth checking out their website!
I find Buckingham Palace is just a one time place to see while in London and won't go for a 2nd time since the inside is not opened to the public. Prefer to go see old historical places like castles where you can explore the inside and touch and feel part of the history. Have you guys been to the Louvre in Paris and you can get to see The Napoleon III Apartments which is one of my favourite. I had actually walked in thru the security and stood outside the main door of 10 Downey street for pic and someone opened the door but didnt get to the PM during my first visit in London many years ago. A friend of mine was an ex police officer and he managed to bring me in while many people were outside probably thinking what business does that Asian guy have haha... I am surprised you didn't go have your kaya toast at Meimei Borough Market. Sometimes, never trust the hyped on social media. 8.50 pounds for strawberry with melted chocolate is way way overpriced but rental and manpower are not cheap there. I agree and the LGBTQ+A etc. thingy is really getting too confusing, even for a pink guy like me :) I attended the winter wonderland a few years ago with my partner and it was pouring wet but I don't mind at all since I love the rain and Rihanna happened to be there too though we didn't see her.
Love this comment ❤️ Glad you enjoyed watching our LDN endeavours! Yes, that’s true Buckingham Palace and Downing St are quite official and not usually open to the public but I guess it’s something important to check out off your list when in the city! The Borough Market eats were were just so good 😮💨 We went there during the lunchtime so next time would definitely need to come back for the Kaya Toasts (preferably in the morning). For us the flag just has become a bit more complex and it’s confusing for most people so there’s no point to have thousands of them on the most recognisable of the streets haha but maybe there’s some reasoning behind it 🤪
@@JayandKarolina u can also get a bottle of the kaya jam at the Asian supermarket in Chinatown. There a Malaysia/Sg mini mart there and go try Singaplura. New Singapore restaurant colla with STB. Heard is pretty good but London price haha. As for the rainbow 🌈 flag, it used to be so simple and now is so complicated. There are actually quite a lot of versions. Prefer the old flag to represent all and the world is complicated enough, why not make it simpler 😊 are you planning to take karolina for the English afternoon tea? There are a few really good ones in London or even a nice lunch or dinner at Ivy Asia St Paul. The restaurant is so pretty and IG worthy.
Just found your channel and had to like and subscribe! I really like the way you walk around and take your viewer along, as well as how you mentioned what time it was - that helps a viewer to understand how much you can accomplish in a relatively short time. You give some really good tips - including how you demonstrate the tube (and now I know to be careful so I don't slap or get slapped Haha) and I enjoyed hearing your input on what you saw.
Awesome, thank you! We're glad to hear that our vlogs reflect reality because that's exactly what I intend, so that you can imagine sightseeing with us/at your own pace :) That moment in the subway was so funny haha, but next time we'll be more careful!
No doubt this has already been pointed out but what you see from outside is the Elizabeth Tower (after the late Queen) not Big Ben, which is the big bell inside the tower.
very nice video and well presented. both you n karolina are lovely. prices are shocking in London. planning to visit next year. already scared about the prices. hope we will be able to avoid 8.5 pound strawberries. :)
Thanks a lot 😊 Glad you enjoyed watching this video! We truly love coming back to LDN now and then but the prices are pretty insane - you really need to know where to go to get the quality for the money spent :)
That’s what we have thought about too! It’s also not easy to find apartments in desirable locations for rent so probably it’s just more beneficial for people to look for properties outside of the London area 👀
Very true! The sausage roll is an absolute must-have - we did queue for like 20 mins but apparently it's quite normal for Borough Market :) It was definitely worth it! Whereas the chocolate strawberries were definitely a one off experience!
@@JayandKarolinaI love the quality of it! Been thinking about getting one myself for my trip to London. The quality is so good I didn’t know if you shot with a DSLR, but with your pans and your mics I assumed the latter.
@bgfd1 0 seconds ago I would not say the Globe is ‘quite small’ and just sum it up that way. That felt a bit offhand. It’s an amazing place but overall enjoyed your video. PS: That’s not Cupid but Eros.
Hello Jayesh, great video, not sure if you would like to share with your followers my 10 point walk guide of London, it gives a walkthrough of how to see the main sites without wasting walking time - it’s on my channel, did not put the link as I did not think you would appreciate that
Same as we do :) There's so many things to do in the city so whenever we come back it's nice to do something different and stroll along the main sights!
Hi from Indianapolis Indiana usa guys I have a question what places are good in Seoul Korea for stay I'm trying to go there next year on June any cities? Please and thank u
Thanks for watching! If you come to SK for the first time, we would definitely recommend you Seoul, Jeonju and Busan! Heading to Jeju Island this autumn because we missed that last time and actually heard that it's beloved South Koreans holiday spot 🇰🇷🏝️ Check out Seoul's videos - we provide so many things to do!
I have no problem with pride flags at all lol. I think many agree that the original pride flag was the best and there didn't need to be an update. Just getting rather complex with all the additional shapes and colours don't you think?
Nah man… never a bit too much. The New Progress Pride Flag represents inclusivity and progress and it was created by Valentino Vecchietti of Intersex Equality Rights UK. So it’s cool they are rocking it on that street since it looks like the UK takes great pride in creating it. Flags aren’t stagnant, their meanings change over time to represent who they represent. Even the Union Jack changed over time to be more inclusive of the countries it represents and England still flies their own flag.

8.50 for a handful of strawberries with some chocolate poured on top…. They look delicious, but I wouldn’t pay that for that.
We thought exactly the same (like wft £8.50) - so we treated it like a one off experience 😮💨

it was very crowded this weekend also because of west end live offcourse!
True that!
May i ask which month is this ?
June this year :)
I can see why many ppl are moving up north London is too expensive and too busy
That’s what we have thought about too! It’s also not easy to find apartments in desirable locations for rent so probably it’s just more beneficial for people to look for properties outside of the London area 👀
Another Day, Another Vlog 🤍
Hope you enjoyed it! We’re filming as much as we can and also trying to always look for balance haha so we upload 2-3 times per week 😬
Fantastic vid ,loved the sausage rolls and choc strawberry's ,not worth the money though ,but it's typical London prices .
Very true! The sausage roll is an absolute must-have - we did queue for like 20 mins but apparently it's quite normal for Borough Market :) It was definitely worth it! Whereas the chocolate strawberries were definitely a one off experience!
Do you shoot with the Dji Osmo Pocket 3?
Yes! I've just switched from GoPro Hero11 to the Pocket 3. What do you think of the video/audio quality?

How can you define the historical buildings of London or anywhere in the U.K. as Something out of harry potter ? That’s a wee bit Dickensian…😊
That's it haha yes - my commentary is not always the best but it requires a lot of effort when filming around other people :)

What country are you from or born 🤔
I was born and raised in the UK but my parents are Gujarati :)
I live in London.I don't need a tour
Fair enough mate! We did London On A Budget - probably more interesting for you 👍
Is karolina from poland????
She certainly is!
Nice sir i want to meet you
