Get a drink Mr Foggs Residence, see a show at Theatre Royal Haymarket, definitely hit Scotland- Edinburgh, Inverness and all the castles you can find
visit Lavenham in Suffolk. You will be in the astoundingly beautiful world of Suffolk pink!!!
go to Northumberland, where you have the best night skies and an observatory, and definitely do not miss Durham Cathedral.
@@jasminejones7389 amazing! Thanks so much!
@@AbelArriaga-g8i fantastic! Thanks so much!
Come to Manchester! Loads of food, and a great atmosphere. Jewel of the North ❤
@@DannyAckers it’s on the list for sure!
I visited San Francisco last yr, knew it would be expensive when it came to food prices. But not as expensive as it was. Almost 3x the cost. We do moan over here in the UK, about food prices. So we should be grateful we're not paying US prices when it comes to food. Hope u enjoy the UK
I lived in the U.S. for 17 years. And I can tell you food is not cheap in the U.S. overall, even when food inflation was 11% here a couple of years ago, it was still cheaper then the food prices in the U.S.
Welcome to the UK. Hope you have a wonderful stay here. Look forward to following your adventures!
@@michaelrjshannon thank you so much!!!! We’re loving it so far👋🏻
Edinburgh in Scotland is a must see and they have fantastic food too. Enjoying your vlogs and have subscribed. 😊
Yes! It’s on the list! We can’t wait! Thanks so much for watching and subscribing☺️
If you liked sticky toffee pudding, head up to the Lake District. Cartmel is the home of sticky toffee pudding, and Rogan & Co is a fantastic restaurant in the village (unless you fancy spending big money on L’enclume - which is also fantastic) ❤
@@DannyAckers ohhh love this! Thanks for the tips!
You guys are very typical of the vast majority of Americans I’ve met - very chilled. Friendly. Humble. Curious. Open and respectful. All of which is to say you’ll get on fine here. Welcome and enjoy our beautiful country. 👍🇬🇧🙏
Oh, and BTW - The Lake District. Seconded. One of the make beautiful places on Earth, and the quality of the food is insane.
@@theknowlodge8294 thank you for the nice comment! 100% have added the Lake District to our list! Thanks!
Food is notoriously cheap in the UK, and the quality is very good. On top of that the UK And EU standards agency doesn't allow certain ingredient's to be put in the food
Another British favourite is Beef Stew & Dumplings
If you are in Kent, go to Rye and Whitstable
i lived in london, harrow, in a similar house, but we only had the ground floor, and because of that we had the back area the same, i was paying 900 a month for it. its a long story, but i will add, i have lived many places in the UK since 2000, isle of whight, poole, bournemouth, london, and couple areas in the north east england, i now live in a 3 bedroom house, with yard and garden, terraced house, old mining house, i pay 390 a month rent
we were lucky, go great landlord that we knew before, he has a few places, so we knew we were good, he leaves us alone, do what you want, never see him, he only lives half mile away, if there is a problem, text him, people out to fix, no questions asked
the only down fall about moving north, is work and decent paying jobs, there are none really, so its catch 22
The City of York .the history is Fantastic the Pubs outstanding. The people very Friendly the Busking Brilliant.
Anyone who likes us is welcome. I hope you stay longer than six months, have fun ❤️🏴🙂
@@paulbriggs5238 thank you so much!
Welcome to the UK guys 😁 you have no idea how much we are missing a Sunday roast at the moment. Hope you have an amazing time. If you get a chance visit Wales, the Peak District, the lakes and Scotland 😊
Thank you friends! We appreciate the recs!
Coming to the UK soonish too!!! ❤❤❤🇬🇧
So happy for you guys! We MAY be coming in October to see the Bears!
Ahhh JJ!!!! Good to see your face!!!! Let us know and of course we will meet up with you guys!🐻
You’re close to Epsom so a day at the races maybe. Or head via train down to Devon and take in some of our beaches north and south coasts are beautiful. Dartmoor national park is stunning along with exmoor too. My favourite is a place called Tarr Steps, great walks and fabulous pub! End July to early September is kids school holidays so avoid touristy places then if you can. June is great weather enjoy
Ahhh thank you SO much for the recommendations! We really appreciate it! Cheers💛
Take a look at York. Part of the city inspired J K Rowling when she wrote about Diagon Alley . Several shops in the area have picked up on the connection and are Harry Potter themed. York Minster is a fantastic cathedral and York is one of the few cities with it's original city wall still there. You may need to spend 2 days there as there is so much to see and do.
@@PaulDee-k4p thanks so much! We are actually in York right now and loving it!
Im in the West Country - I would recommend the City of Bath - Its Roman and Georgian and a world heritage city. If you do visit let me know and I will buy you both a coffee.
Ohh it sounds lovely!!! We will let you know for sure! Thanks friend!
Ahhh the lovely Banstead Woods. I walk there every day with my 2 cocker spaniels
We might have seen you that day! There were a lot of people walking their dogs💛
So, if you are going to do 'London' - Get to the hundreds of towns/villages that make it up (Which are spread across 32 Boroughs) I'm not saying do all 32 boroughs but dont stick to the tourist places. Visit these areas: Richmond, Barnes, Ealing, Chiswick, Chelsea, Notting Hill, Hampstead, Muswell Hill, Barnet, Islington, Shoreditch/Dalston, Hackney, Greenwich, Canary Wharf, Dulwich, Clapham Common, Brixton, Wimbledon Village, Kingston
Awesome, thank you for the recommendations! Today we actually explored Greenwich and Canary Warf and had such a fun time!
How cool! I've been strangely only listening to UK rap these last few months haha
Oh that so cool!!!! Maybe you need to make a trip out here! Thanks for watching!
I can recommend you get tickets and visit Kentwell Manor for their Tudor Midsummer experience.
Ohhhh sounds interesting! We will look into it☺️ thanks for the tip!
Head to lovely Devon and Cornwall x
@@AdrianCurtis-n7f thanks for the tips! Cheers!
Congratulations guys! Can’t wait to see where you explore!
Thank you friend!
Absolutely love the intro, the storytelling, the idea and the packaging!!! ❤🥰💪💪 keep it up friends! 😘😘😘
Thank you💛💛💛💛 That means so much!
loved viewing your "We MOVED to the UK!" video presentation
WOW MOST AMAZING DESERT @6:38 😋😋
LIKE 22
Ah thanks for watching!!!! The dessert was SO GOOD!
If you haven't already a trip to Edinburgh id a must.
Ah thanks! It’s on our list for sure ☺️
Ayyy you got me lol I thought you moved move! I wanna see you guys while I'm there in a few months 😊
Looks absolutely beautiful and so green!! 😮
hehe! When are you coming?! Where are you staying?!
@@EvanandLemon I'll be around July 22nd-Aug 5th ☺️ I have friends that we met on the Japan trip that live in Bristol. We are going to do a road trip around the UK and then up to Scotland and back to Bristol. We fly in and out of LHR
@@chelseacarpenter2302 eeeek!!!! We are in Scotland around that time… keep me updated and we will try to meet up!
@@EvanandLemon yay!!!!! That's would be awesome! 🥰
Woohoooo!! The UK is spellbinding. I highly recommend visiting Glastonbury it’s witchy and historic and home to the legend of King Arthur! They also have an epic annual music festival in June.
The Cotwolds, Stratford-Upon-Avon (Shakespeare's hometown!), Bath, Plymouth, and the West Midlands Safari Park in Bewdley are seriously wonderful- with a touch of whimsy. If you’re looking for a unique place to stay- my friend owns a rock house in the Wyre Forest that you can rent. It was featured on Lad Bible! Definitely worth checking out if you have the time!
Lastly, Cardiff Bay in Wales is a vibrant city on the shore that’s worthy of a stop. The fish n chips, cawl and laverbread and nightlife are not to miss!
Ahhh these are great recs! Thank you so much💛
Why use Bottled water we have safe water out the Tap ( Faucet ) .
@@MaxwellMoore-d1u our roommates prefer we use it in the kettle. But we do drink water from the tap ☺️
Also sticky toffee pudding is a dense cake made with brown sugar and dates. If you really like it I can send you a recipe ✌️
YES PLEASE!!!
Do you like it with custard (hot or cold) or ice cream?
@@EvanandLemon ice cream and I will send it over when I'm back home and have my book 😊
But do they have Malort??? Hahaha love you guys, Ash and I are so excited for you! Much love from us
We haven't seen Malort here.. YET! Cheers friends! We love you guys!
Seriously, you should visit Chester in the north West. It's a 2000 year old Roman city with complete walls and full of tudor buildings.
@@StephMcAlea ohhh sounds interesting!!!! Thanks for the recommendations!
Yes, that and York!
@@brentwoodbay just went to York today and fell in LOVE🫶🏼
@@EvanandLemon Wow! maybe I'm Psychic!
@@brentwoodbay maybe🔮
Yorkshire and the North East. Yorkshire for the culture and food, Durham for the history and architecture, Newcastle for the experience and Northumberland for the beaches, forests, landscape and being able to make rude gestures at the Scots on the border.
@@Someloke8895 thank you!
@@EvanandLemon No worries, I'm a Yorkshireman, with half my family being Northumbrian and me living up here too.
Welcome to the UK guys, hope you have fun 👍🇬🇧
Ah thank you so much!!!! We’re so excited to be here!
Any recommendations?! Places to eat, drink etc?
Hundreds of places to see and things to do, you will never run out.
Brick Lane on a Sunday is a great day out.
St. Catherines Dock near Tower Bridge is a nice spot.
Spittalfields Market is great on a rainy day as under cover.
Level 6 of One New Change is a great free view by St. Paul’s and Postman’s Park near there is interesting.
Could do all those in one long day.
Have fun guys 😃🇬🇧
Pizza Union near Spittalfields is great pizza and probably the cheapest around too.
Mercato Mayfair is a great food spot in an old chirch, try the roof terrace… and Golden Union near Oxford Circus for great fish n chips, but it’s quite pricey.
Ok i’ll stop now lol.
Our bad food thing is due to the war 70 plus years ago when we had strickt food restrictions.
@@gabbymcclymont3563 we are loving the food!
lol we had those mugs in Devon, great video guys can’t wait to see what you explore next, thanks for sharing Lyn callum xx (brendasrcool)
Glad you enjoyed💛
@EvanandLemon It's no good you trying to hide your location, you left clues all over your video lol. I do hope you are really enjoying living in the UK i can tell you have enjoyed the food already , traditionally Sunday roast was the one good meal of the week to make up for all the food you my have missed in the working week we have to watch the waist line these days, you are in for a great time you can accomplish a lot in 6 months so many places to go so much to see, my only advice is avoid the tourist traps dip your toe in for a brief visit but then just go exploring plenty of transport for short or long journeys and just enjoy, and avoid politics if you can, Especially He who must not be named, we really hate him over here. I'll be watching you every week, happy days!
@@pv-mm2or thanks so much for the info!!!! Cheers to you friend!
How dare you say Yorkshire pudding is bread that’s sacrilege 😂 To be serious the ingredients to make a Yorkshire pudding are more in common with a pancake.
@@craig5066 good to know! Cheers!
Hi. Just to say that something that many don’t realise is that London is made up of 33 local authorities (the City of London at 1.12 square miles and the 32 London Boroughs at more than 605 square miles), so most tourists only see less than 10% of London because they stay in the very centre. Most of London used to belong to the surrounding counties but from 1st April 1965 the 32 London Boroughs came into existence (to join the City of London) by an Act of Parliament which moved London’s boundaries further out and rearranged the smaller area of the City and other communities that made up London into the more than 606 square miles that it now entails. The town in London where I was born was, up to 31st March 1965, a town in the county of Kent. It has existed since before the Kingdom of England came into existence in the year 927, as it was mentioned in a royal charter by the Anglo-Saxon King of the Kingdom of Kent dated in the year 862. Therefore London does not have a “downtown” as each of the thousands of cities, towns and villages has its own centre (“downtown”) around its High Street (Main Street) where it originally started, some even before the Romans arrived in the year 43. My London borough is the largest at just under 59 square miles and most of that is made up of villages, hamlets, farms and open walkable countryside bordering onto the county of Kent. People who complain about London generally are really complaining about the centre 6 square miles or so of touristy, expensive, crowded London, and have never stepped foot in the vast majority of London with its thousands of individual communities with their own histories - some of which are a few thousand years old.
Wow thanks so much for sharing this with us! We have been to Kensington, Canary Warf and a few other places (which we didn’t film) and we love the different characteristics of each place. We can’t wait to explore more of London!!
