Do you know why your videos bring joy? They allow people who may be stuck at home to imagine they are out and about with you discovering exciting places and things in London. Thank you.
I actually like these videos where we just go for a walk about with you, not knowing where we will end up, love it.
I love London! ❤️ Would love another visit.
I don't comment much nowadays, but I just wanted to pop in and say how much I appreciate you being back on here and uploading so often. I know it takes time and it sometimes might be a hassle, but your content is what makes some of my evenings a lot more pleasant. I love seeing London through your lenses.
Thanks so much!!
American here and I'm so envious of everyone that lives in London, it's my favorite city and I think I've been there 9 or 10 times now but not since 2019. I love your videos, Hannah, you make me feel like I'm walking around London with you, and I now have loads of new things that I want to do next time I come back. Oh, and I've learned a new phrase "chucking it down" which I have been able to use often this spring, the East Coast of the US has been exceptionally rainy and wet!
I feel the same way! Don’t forget the shopping too!
Believe me we are all here sloshing through the rain when it's chucking it down dreaming of living in America! I really love how much space you have. Also I really find New York is so similar to London in some spots. I would love to go to Palm Desert one day. Happy dreaming of relocating ❤
@@missj.d9187 Yesss!!! living in the USA is a blessing 🤩 come visit us in California
@@camuchanomellini903In your opinion which is best and safe place to visit in California?
Miami > London
I’d say 11 for your vlogs. I really enjoy them after a day’s work, enjoying a cup of coffee and enjoying the virtual adventures and your honest, yet refreshing outlook on everything.
I really enjoy these types of videos. I live in a very, very rural area of America, and through you I get to experience things that I would otherwise never be able to!
Like diversity and not a single person who would even contemplate voting for trump and his hideous views. Sorry if you are a democrat
Same here. Going to England has been on my bucket list for years.
@@janicestewart8291 London in the 1950s was worth a look, not so much now me thinks ☹️
What state/city is considered very rural in America?
@@Lance-wn9dc Maybe Montana, Wyoming... like that, that's whole different life tho, i'm planning to move to Montana i really love countryside than Cities
I do admire your “childlike exuberance.” I have my moments like that. I mean that respectfully. It helps put life into perspective and that life feels positive and meaningful 😊
Solid 10!! Your video's are never rubbish, always enjoy our walk abouts. Have a great week!
I was always say if I want to know the weather I stick my head out of the window. If it comes back wet it’s raining, if it comes back cold and frosty it’s snowing 😂😂❤
😅👍
Lol.. 😂❤
Or just always carry a brolly and light jacket. Even when its hot 😂😂
Great idea! 😆😆😆
Just becareful birds dont do there dropings on your head !!😂
I love Hannah's stream of consciousness vlogging. She's so funny 🤣
And all of her "squirrel" moments, when she gets distracted by something pretty/ interesting /strange and interrupts herself mid-sentence. Makes me smile every time 😄
@@rachelw1076 that's exactly what I had thought too!
I also get headaches from the changes in barometric pressure. It’s so annoying, but a fact of life for me. Where I live, just about everyone ends up with sinus problems due to the humidity here. Usually I can smell rain (or snow) in the air before it starts coming down. Worthless talent! Also, I LOVED this video! You have a great sense of what will be interesting to see, even if it varies from your original plan. So, I’m with you, whatever you choose to show us. The commentary is priceless as well-you really make us feel like we are friends. Thanks so much! ❤
Not a worthless talent, at all. I've been able to smell snow since I was a child and have warned tons of people (that learned to believe me) about blizzards the weatherman said would be flurries. Add in head, knee, and finger pain to that smell, and I've done tons better than them. 😊
Same. I can smell rain coming and snow smells differently. Friend told me snow has more ions.
I have the same problem with headaches but in Rome, the humidity sucks!!
Watching from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 British born, when I get homesick I watch and walk with you. Love the canals. Like London , Sydney is very expensive, coffee and cakes on Par although 😂coffee better here, can’t even compete with the luscious cakes 🧁 I want to eat everything you show. Nothing compares to London, the architecture divine.
Yes on music and yes on just meandering 😊😊
The canal boats there are 70 -170 years old. ( the canals 600+ yrs) What a wonderous spot to walk. The Mews were stables and servants quarters for the Terrace houses. Post WW1 it was shops, tradesmen and cheap housing. Pop stars and race car drivers came in the later. ( As a child they looked so sophisticated in magazines). The new mansions need gothing up to match the old canals. The old pub is groovy. Now i dont know whether i want to live in a mews apartment, terrace house or canal side cottage. [ or where to get the millions of ££]. Might have to do a rock n roll swindle...Thanks for adding the glamour to historical walks .
There is always something interesting to do and see in London. You are so lucky to live there. I am so happy that you take us along with you!
Always good to see a part of London life that we wouldn’t otherwise get to see. Thanks Hannah.
Hannah I am watching your video from Alberta, Canada and let me say nothing about your video is rubbish. I so enjoy your wanderings around London as in my opinion it is a beautiful city. I think many people feel the same which is why people watch you. Continue on, have a wonderful week and take good care of you!!!!
What I enjoy about your videos is random off the cuff comments of what you are seeing. The small things are important too! 🇨🇦❤️
I'm in London now. Staying in Battersea. I said to my hubby " I hope I meet Hannah and get a selfie!!!"
Thought the same when I was there!
Have a great time!!
Oh im in Battersea too
I am always amazed at the variety of London. Love the canal boats, thanks for showing them. London seems to have such gorgeous flower shops.
I really like this casual, no plan format. Keep it coming, Hannah!
This offbeat tour format is good. Interesting to see all the architecture and what’s going on.
Yeah the jeans fits you very well. 501 never goes out of Style. Greetings from 🇩🇪 have a nice evening dear 👋
‘is that what they’re called? That sounds like a broomstick from Harry Potter…’ I’m DEAD 😂 THANK YOU for all the suggestions/ideas for my annual/semi-annual trips to London. I never get tired of it and live my London full time life vicariously through you. ❤
Have a great week! Thanks for making these vlogs, so interesting to see all the sights and places in England!
I love these vlogs, just walking about, the canals, getting a coffee! Only way to see and experience London! Oh, and the way you speak to us, like we’re there walking along side I find charming! Keep it up!
This video was not 'rubbish" it was very enjoyable🙂 I love your personable approach to your tours of London. Keep it up!!!
Yes, I get a headache when the pressure changes in the air, then it rains. Ugh! I love all of the wonderful architecture.
Your videos feel like a casual chat with a sweet friend. Could not love these videos more. Great work, Hannah
As requested - Vlog 8/10 - Music 10/10 (loved it) - Thumbs Up given. Hannah - I'm not certain - but - I think comments can also work in a positive way with the UA-cam algorithm? Thanks for taking the time to make these informative, fun, and interesting Vlogs!
I never believe the weather predictions here in New Zealand either because it’s always four seasons in one day and you need to have two outfits with you all the time basically 😅 and also we are such a narrow land mass that the slightest breeze coming off the surrounding oceans can blow whatever is happening away and completely change on a whim lol. It’s crazy.
Everything you wear makes you look extremely classy. INTERIOR CLASS. Jeans, jacket, hair... everything match wonderfully, lovely HANNAH
Boots on the ground view of London life, I love it. Coffee, fudge, boats, flowers and a view of a LIBRARY?? Ten out of ten! Your music is always great.
Happy Tuesday, Hannah! Cracking outfit today! If you start a petition about awful weather forecasts, I’ll sign it and rally more support for it! Another great vlog! There are 13 cabmen’s shelters…and yes, only cabbies can go inside, but the public can order at the walk up window. Have an amazing week! See you Friday!
If our governments would stop making these chem trails our weather would straighten out on its own. Don’t believe me…look up at the planes and look at the chemicals they are spraying our skies with.
London is my home, my life! It’s expensive but we cope, we socialise end don’t worry
Hannah!! This is one of your best videos... a 10 out of 10. ❤❤ I like the spontaneity of this one. The music too... I thought you might have danced to the music of that jazz band by the river. 😉 It doesn't matter if you have already shown us the location, because time of season and weather changes the view. Seems there is always something going on and you are enjoying it as much as we are. Trainers/Sneakers. You probably need proper cushioning for walking... since you are not running. 😅 This has made my morning... Thank You 🥰
As always, enjoy your videos. You're a natural. Keep being you.
10! It's always nice to see parts of London off the beaten path!
Hello Hannah. I am enjoying sightseeing around London vicariously through your Vlogs. The 501 jean is a classic jean and it fits you perfectly. It will never be out of style. I love the background music you have chosen🎶🎵 . I would like to know the name of the music selections you have chosen🎶. Your vlogs are always 10//10 👏❤Until Friday Hannah!
10 outta 10. Love the walking around, chatty, everyday people, everyday life vibe.
The ebike cycling video would be so cool!!!!
Love this vlog. Walking around with you is fun. Thanks, Hannah.
Love to wander/roam/amble about Londontowne with the always unpredictable & witty Ms. RICKETTS! This blog gets a 10!
I will be in London for 16 days in October and your videos give me great tips on where to visit.
Hannah!! ❤️ Absolutely love your videos!
Hannah you're the sunshine in your videos!
Get a fir cone and put it on your balcony, they never let you down. My sister has a narrow boat and they travel all over in it and my niece had one and lived in it for a year while travelling the canals and selling her handmade crafts. Narrow boats can be quite luxurious now, with central heating, all mod cons, washing machines, sky, Wi-Fi, and whatever you want. It is lovely to cruise the canals on holiday as you can moor up and get off wherever you want. If you own one you have to find a permanent mooring and this can be costly. ❤
Best job is weather person no one is ever fired for getting the weather wrong lol Watching the boats never gets old! The cute felt items & stamp art & fudge what a good day out it was!
Thank you for another mews & pub & canal & neighborhoods tour. I really want to return to London! ❤
Hannah you're so so funny this episode we loved it so much. Remortgage the flat for the pick and mix I can't!
Love all your vlogs Whatever You vlog I will watch 😊 It’s always good to experience things with you in London 👍🏻
My wife and I are leaving your fair city today. We’re at the Hilton Kensington London at Holland Park. Today it’s back home to Boston. Thank you for your videos.
We rate it as a 12! We always enjoy watching your travels around the city twice a week although it is unlikely we will ever visit because we live at least 6,000 KM away in Alberta
I love it when you go off on a tangent, Hannah. It's always guaranteed to put a smile on my face. Or eruptions of laughter! This is a beautiful vlog. Absolutely above the range of the ten scale. Your commentary coupled with random, focused detail is so fascinating. I feel like I'm there in London. You definitely have the right idea old girl! Wouldn't you know it? It was overcast and it rained today. I swear your weather and mine seems somehow, to be in serendipitous synchronization. Take good care of yourself Hannah. I look forward to seeing you again on Friday, six PM your time🕕, ten AM mine🕙! 💮❤🌺🚲☕🥤😂☔
I find London endlessly fascinating so I LOVE wanders like this.
Wow! The London we never get to see...thank you!❤❤
Solid 10. London comes alive in your vlogs! Great to watch 👍
6 out of 10? No, always 10 out of 10! Always feels as if we are walking with you and you are just chatting away with us.
Always a 10/10 for me. Love learning new words/terms: Naf, waffling, quid, rubbish
Good evening, Hannah! Have started watching this at 6.05pm on a Tuesday and loving that part of London, where you’re potentially “rubbing hands” with celebdom ☺️
Terrific vlog. Loved the music and the sights. Definitely 10 out of 10! As usual...
Awesome vlog!!! I LOVE the 2 vlogs a week - although I'm kinda sure you don't! They are just so lighthearted and fun. Hope you're having a great week!
The contrast of sites in London are so interesting from very expensive houses to the guy rowing on the canal. Great vlog AND music 😊.
My daughter, son and their families used to live around this area. Your video brings back some fond memories of my wife and I visiting London between 2003 and 2016 (7 times all up).
Always enjoy you vids Hannah, especially your walkabouts no matter if you are retracing your journey, as there will always be those who have never seen it.
Always something fun to look at in London--enjoyed it so much.
Hannah your videos are always a 10 for me. I love your walks, shopping trips, it is just a nice time spent with you😊
11/10 for your vlogs! I'm at home in Australia living with chronic illness and it really brightens my day being shown all the lovely places you go to, thank you :-)
Jeans look great!
Another fun adventure with Hannah!
This video isn't rubbish at all, Hannah! I really loved it. Liked seeing what's going on in London as well as the things most people don't show - made me feel like a Londoner. I also enjoy you popping in to talk about all the "boring" stuff in your life, it gives off the vibe that I'm on a stroll with a friend :)
I love watching Hannah. She is very compelling to watch. You can go shopping, see the sights, get some background to various London Boroughs without ever leaving your armchair. I have followed up on several of her recommendations.
The only slight downside to the videos is the people. Living up near the border between England and Scotland in a village with only a hundred people 5he crowds do seem a bit daunting.
I’m in Shetland so I get you 😂 !!
@@jennyhicks1930 I spent 26 years in Highland Perthshire before moving to the "Forgotten Lands" as they were once known. But these sorts of places have a charm all of their own. Shetland is lovely.
Cheers Hannah, it’s Sean in Atlanta! Yes, those jeans look good on you! And I totally agree with you about weather forecasters, or guessers as I call them! It’s almost bad enough to do and plan the opposite of what they forecast! But they continue their jobs and get pay raises...
Hahahaha, “sounds like a broomstick from Harry Potter”? Now that’s funny!
That boat show is just amazing to look at! I love the idea of narrow-boating. I often watch a couple of UA-cam channels that show life living in one. London has so many attractions and interesting history for me.
I could definitely see that mansion like the one in Disney’s “Haunted Mansion“! Crazy! And I loved that guy rowing that contraption!
As always, thank you for another incredible glimpse into a part of London I have never seen before! Have a smashing day and looking forward to your next video!
Sean
I had a trip that took me through London yesterday afternoon, Monday, and I had a short stop off at London Bridge and wondered around the Shard and Borough Market and the weather was absolutely amazing! Now today's it feels like its chucking it down everywhere! 😫
I deffo can smell the rain coming...primal lol
Another great video, Hannah I love it thank you 🥂😘
Your vlogs are just wonderful, Hannah; and I truly enjoy your honest and amusing take on things. Always a joy to watch!
I will always wear a skinny Jean. They are much more flattering on almost every body shape. The wide leg, flare leg looks good on NO ONE.
Another great Vlog, Hannah. I'm always amazed at how much London has changed since I was there back in 1990. If I had the chance to live there, I'd never get bored.
That was lovely, thank you, Hannah! I love these videos where you just film and chat! xx
Brilliant vlog and music
And don't undersell yourself you are what you are and stay that way you have a very positive outlook on life which can be a rarity for some people keep up the excellent work and see you on Friday
I love this walking, rambling, mooching style. So pleasant.
I feel like I just spent the loveliest Sunday afternoon walking around London with my beautiful friend Hannah!! (Even though I’m sitting in my living room in 🇨🇦 lol). I really enjoyed this video, it felt so natural and as if I was right there with you. I find your chit chat very interesting (I also invested in a “de-piller” tool for my sweaters and they look brand new)! Thanks again! ❤
Thoroughly Enjoyed The Vlog Hannah. Thank You So Much For All Your Hard Work ... ❤️❤️❤️
Always fun when you take us on a wander and there was definitely a lot to see! Thank you Hannah, very much enjoyed. Your outfit is perfect! Have a lovely week!
The music was excelllent, I enjoyed it so much, just like I enjoyed this walk with you. Thank you for taking me along!
10 out of 10. I love walking tours around London ❤
This street (near the very beginning of your video) looks VERY similar to our King Street in downtown historical Charleston, South Carolina. We have an old cobblestone road as well called Chalmers. The similarities are pretty neat considering the distance, but it makes sense historically!!
I was in London last week and went to Little Venice because you had shown it in a previous vlog. Great contrast to the usual huddle and bustle of london. Thank you
Glad you visited!!
I enjoy your rambles around London AND I love your jeans, I appreciate that they aren't full of rips and holes! (pet peeve).
I love the little boats! They remind me of the old, painted Irish Traveller caravans! You live in a beautiful city! (10 of 10, love the music!)
Little Venice vlogs always get a 👍🏻from me, beautiful place. Sid isn't the only Sex Pistol that has called it home, my mate Glen the original bassist lives near there, you've probably walked passed him loads of times!!! After Sid lived at No.3 years later the place was bought by Magenta Devine who has also sadly passed away.
I'm glad that Glen Matlock is still around. He seems like a great guy.
👱🏻♀️♥️
@@nadab4750 He is a Top bloke. I do his merch for him sometimes when he's out gigging in the UK
I found myself completely lost in this! Definitely a 10/10
Also here in Canada our weather depends now on when the chemtrails get released in the sky . Our weather reporters have no clue what is really happening
try taking magnesium 100mg, also epsom salt baths and change your stretch routine pre and post run x
I love going along on your walks! 😊
I liked this unplanned stroll through the waterways, side streets, shops, and more.
I have been to London many times in my travels, but you showed me things I hadn't seen before.
Thank you as always. Don't change a thing on your site.
Love the guy rowing his funky boat. You are just the best. Your videos totally take me on a fun journey every time and I forget all my troubles 🥰
Early to this one. 👍
Hi Hannah!! Samba's kill my feet. I only wear them to work (when I sit all day at a desk). Love 2 videos a week. XO.
