london is shit. You only go there for shopping the luxury stores and maybe chilling around watching the old buildings and design and thats it. Not much food porn there either. Go maledives for chilln and for visiting cities Turkey italy and so on. At least they got food. Of course spane and greece too. London nnaa I dont know.

I'm 50 years old now and from Portugal!Moved to London when I was 20 years London and that was in 1995 and my God, London it was paradise to me!You could see person from every part of the word and I felt so welcoming and at home!That was before EU have open the doors to East Europeans and after that, London started to change and my Landlord was asking for more money and also very crowded!So I moved to another city!But thank London for giving me the best time of my life 😂😂👀👀
The Oh-face at 10:01 is bloody awesome. I'm quite glad to be done with London; I used to have to take central line for 30 minutes to get to work every morning - I'd enter the subway clean and showered, then come out like a sweaty pig... ready for work LOL
Decided to take the train to London for the first time in 2 years yesterday. I saw 3 people willingly jump on the tracks and was getting shit talked by a 9 year old. Love this country.
Another cool video. For cool skyscrapers in London you need to go to the other city there, The City Of London. There isn't really anywhere on Earth with such diverse skyscrapers like The Gherkin, The Cheesegrater, The Scapel, The Walkie Talkie, The Natwest Tower, The Heron....
Problem is that on ground level those areas feel depressing, grey and soulless.. the liveliness and energy doesn't compare to the historic areas of London which mostly have grand pre-war buildings 5 to 9 stories high.

London is objectively terrible. The weather, vibes (people), crime, housing/rent, food quality, nature and a lot of other things are just so shit. I would rather live in Afghanistan rn ngl.

@hhkk6155 I live in dubai and the traffic is awful. Full of Russians after Ukraine war and its super expensive now. Also buildings go up so fast that the views are spoilt.
@yonchrr the entire world has inflation. Yes, theirs traffic, but I much prefer Dubai to the UK right now - people are being robbed, stabbed, and services are a joke.
I saw Mike rolling around on his lime bike in Marylebone then saw him at my gym (BXR Marylebone) later that day. I have been copying his sets in the gym since then.
Put more skyscrapers to make it look beautiful😂 gotta be the worst take I've heard in a while. Great vid though. I grew up in London so it was nice to watch
lol lol Just so lovely to know that you have come to realize the difference between both great cities! I Love London but Dubai is a high mod vibe...would prefer to visit next.
I can't believe he said London's skyline is boring! Not everything has to look like Manhattan (although some of London does). London is EXTREMELY beautiful in its own, unique way.
“Extremely beautiful” is not what I would call London. Italy is beautiful. Spain is beautiful. London is a generic large city. You live there to work and make money but the city is soulless and for rich people.
@@1999JM Yeah, like all Financial centres. The difference is Dubai has the sun and the beach, and low crime. But it's basically a hollow city with hollow people. Just people there to make money in business or influencers, but very little "soul" like real actual people, bustling markets, etc. It's not an organic city, it's a city built with the aim of money.

Its not perfect, I live here, was born here and will always have roots here but its the imperfections that make this city soooo amazing.

@@hhkk6155 Statistically it has actually fallen. However, compared to the 1970's, when I visited as a child and when London was much poorer, crime is higher.
Awesome that you went to the Gym in Wood Green mate. The Martial Arts Gym (The London Wing Chun Academy) where I used to train is on the floor above lol

24:15 Talking about the lack of sky scrapers whilst on the wrong side of the building where there is none from that view point. Plenty of tall buildings/sky scrapers but the last thing you want is a Dubai. London is an ancient city and views and older buildings need to be protected and preserved
…but London is full of skyscrapers…in the city, square mile, banker areas. It’s not ancient city anymore lmao, it’s full of high rise buildings like the shard in the center. In fact I’d argue the old London has been ravaged by modernity, there’s very little soul of that left in that international city.
@@Bahamut998 There's lots of soul if you know how to live and explore the place. Of course it's an ancient city - any simpleton can tell you that lmao. Again, plenty of tha ancient history is very easy to explore if you can get your mind off bankers 🤣
@@WeAreWatchingU I live in a French city and seen the rest of Europe. Ancient history is there in the very form of ruins, monuments, etc. In London they've been bulldozed or built over by modern buildings. Of fucking course every city in Europe and Asia is 2000 Years old, that doesn't mean the vestiges are there. In London you maybe have a piece of an old Roman Wall left because of a government rule and that's all that's left of the old London. That's not comparable to somehting like Rome or Florence or even Paris.
@@Bahamut998 Again, you've not done your research or done much when in London. There's multiple ancient Roman sites other than the London Wall not to mention a huge amount of medieval monuments. You may have overlooked WW2 where a lot was destroyed not just bulldozed....lmao. I've pretty much travelled to every country in Europe and was in Florence last month, been to Rome 4 times and Paris over 20 so no need to educate me on European history. Although I would say Paris in particular is an absolute shit hole now full of crime and arrogant angry locals. I wonder why there's around 400,000 French living in London with well below 20,000 Brits living in Paris.... odd that isn't it? 😂
Fun video as usual. Never found London to be that nice, theres something cold about this city I dislike. IMO all it really has is job opportunities which is why people go there, and often end up miserable. It really doesn’t help that real estate is so expensive. If you had a good job but also could spend well and have low crime, even the weather would be bearable. But London is expensive and unless you are wealthy, the lifestyle just isn’t good. As a young professional life there is a hard grind. But on the other hand there are other nicer European towns but with more unemployment so it’s always about what you want to sacrifice. But what I dislike the most about London is the vibe. It’s kind of a boring corporate vibe with too many cultures. It’s not the vibrant vibe of most European towns. Everything revolves around work in London imo. It’s the kind of city you spend 50 years in the rat race in…
The thing is that London not even have that interesting lifestyle being rich, I come from a moderate good family in the French Riviera and our grandfather used to have a condo in Knightsbridge very close to Hyde Park, we would stay there for weeks and going to museums, opera, Wimbledon, Cartier Queen's tournament, some Michelin restaurants, but everything seemed so boring, and the vibe it's just so industrial, is exactly what you say, a place where people from all over the world go to work and don't mind everything else, I would say London is the best place in the world for luxury shopping in every niche, tailored clothes and also some events like Polo, F1, Tennis, Soccer but that's it, a very famous and rich but extremely boring place.
I’m fed up of London and working hard on my business when it hasn’t succeeded yet when that’s my only option to be able to move to Dubai and live comfortably.
Mike when can I get my hands on that white button up shirt I want to buy it for my husband. Every time I see you wear it I got to your website to see if it’s there. It hasn’t got released yet right?
You are such a strong and handsome guy , what i can agree is western europe is falling apart . Im living in munich germany since 1997 , and currently is everything here crash down . I would love to move to Doha qatar , open a laundry and perfume boutique there .
@@akhilpd1489 everything is 100 percent more expensive, I work 2 shifts just to pay bills . There is no money left like in the past . Perhaps because the big Immigration problems , we always have to pay more and more taxes .
I lived in London till 2011, moved to Dubai and havent looked back. London was decent back then but London now? Unlivable for me, never ever going back there to live, it's degraded so much.
I lived in London as a French guy…problem with the city is too many people, most not British, and the mentality is soulless, everyone just goes to work and grinds without any other social goal. Rents are insane too, you easily spend half your salary on rent or more if you want to live well. It’s a great city if you make it in the high level industries. Would never live there as a regular joe though.
Moved out of the UK from Leeds to Portugal have pastel de nata on tap 🌞🇵🇹🌻 my sons coming out next week to live he’s quit his job I told him to watch your channel and make a UA-cam channel
23:57 - London is the financial hub, that's why the pound kicks most other currency's ass. Plus the city has a rich history unlike any other. Sky scrapers would mess it up unc Mike, cmon!
Pound lost a big chunk of its power, and is still losing. If nothing changes, soon pound will be 1on1 with USD. The financial hub part is also losing influence, to places like Singapore, Dubai, etc.
The white shirt you were wearing in the video, it's from your THRST brand right? I couldn't locate it on your website. Love how it looks and would love to own one myself.
Great VLOG! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Mike you should make a video on how these days people are hopping one country to another? I’m super curious why you’ve left London & chosen Dubai instead.
Sleep is underrated. When I lost 35lb last year, my week on week drop in weight was lowest when I had poor quality sleep. Hence why I sometimes ate my breakfast before bed in order to prioritise sleep and then be powered by a vegan protein shake from wake up to early lunch at 11:00am.

Of fucking course every city in Europe and Asia is 2000 Years old, that doesn't mean the vestiges are there. In London you maybe have a piece of an old Roman Wall left because of a government rule and that's all that's left of the old London. That's not comparable to somehting like Rome or Florence or even Paris.
@@Bahamut998 Again, you've not done your research or done much when in London. There's multiple ancient Roman sites other than the London Wall not to mention a huge amount of medieval monuments. You may have overlooked WW2 where a lot was destroyed not just bulldozed....lmao. I've pretty much travelled to every country in Europe and was in Florence last month, been to Rome 4 times and Paris over 20 so no need to educate me on European history. Although I would say Paris in particular is an absolute shit hole now full of crime and arrogant angry locals. I wonder why there's around 400,000 French living in London with well below 20,000 Brits living in Paris.... odd that isn't it? 😂
You are a great guy, Mike! Thank you for your vlogs
Are you camera boys ever going to take you to Riga? 🌞
Fun video as usual.
Never found London to be that nice, theres something cold about this city I dislike.
IMO all it really has is job opportunities which is why people go there, and often end up miserable.
It really doesn’t help that real estate is so expensive. If you had a good job but also could spend well and have low crime, even the weather would be bearable. But London is expensive and unless you are wealthy, the lifestyle just isn’t good. As a young professional life there is a hard grind. But on the other hand there are other nicer European towns but with more unemployment so it’s always about what you want to sacrifice. But what I dislike the most about London is the vibe. It’s kind of a boring corporate vibe with too many cultures. It’s not the vibrant vibe of most European towns. Everything revolves around work in London imo. It’s the kind of city you spend 50 years in the rat race in…
The thing is that London not even have that interesting lifestyle being rich, I come from a moderate good family in the French Riviera and our grandfather used to have a condo in Knightsbridge very close to Hyde Park, we would stay there for weeks and going to museums, opera, Wimbledon, Cartier Queen's tournament, some Michelin restaurants, but everything seemed so boring, and the vibe it's just so industrial, is exactly what you say, a place where people from all over the world go to work and don't mind everything else, I would say London is the best place in the world for luxury shopping in every niche, tailored clothes and also some events like Polo, F1, Tennis, Soccer but that's it, a very famous and rich but extremely boring place.
LONDON SUMMER IS NICE
I’m fed up of London and working hard on my business when it hasn’t succeeded yet when that’s my only option to be able to move to Dubai and live comfortably.
Mike when can I get my hands on that white button up shirt I want to buy it for my husband. Every time I see you wear it I got to your website to see if it’s there. It hasn’t got released yet right?
a a Thank you
Can we get an update on the app so that it considers a 6x a week program. Please 🙏
This was a really high quality vlog, nice work editor
Thanks bro appreciate it
Thank you G
@@michaelmansini2307 who are you 🤣
Jesus Mike that man's physique is insane! Absolute beast 💥💪👊
Absolutely just not a neck
I dunno man, I like Mike abroad but there is something seeing him back home.
You are such a strong and handsome guy , what i can agree is western europe is falling apart . Im living in munich germany since 1997 , and currently is everything here crash down . I would love to move to Doha qatar , open a laundry and perfume boutique there .
I just opened my second money laundry in Doha and it’s working great, can only recommend!
Can you explain ?
Is it due to immigration? Is there more crime ?
@@akhilpd1489 everything is 100 percent more expensive, I work 2 shifts just to pay bills . There is no money left like in the past . Perhaps because the big Immigration problems , we always have to pay more and more taxes .
I lived in London till 2011, moved to Dubai and havent looked back. London was decent back then but London now? Unlivable for me, never ever going back there to live, it's degraded so much.
Most areas are nicer now , from King’s Cross to Peckham.
I lived in London as a French guy…problem with the city is too many people, most not British, and the mentality is soulless, everyone just goes to work and grinds without any other social goal. Rents are insane too, you easily spend half your salary on rent or more if you want to live well. It’s a great city if you make it in the high level industries. Would never live there as a regular joe though.
@@Bahamut998 fair
Moved out of the UK from Leeds to Portugal have pastel de nata on tap 🌞🇵🇹🌻 my sons coming out next week to live he’s quit his job I told him to watch your channel and make a UA-cam channel
Mike it would be great if you make a video on how to produce your own line how the partnerships work…
MIKE! You gotta tell us when your dropping shirts like your wearing. Its fire!
Wood green, London - home ❤
Imagine waking up to being Mike Thurston. Wow.
Work hard!
Him and Mike ohearn are my favourite nattys
MAGNIFICENT LOVE ❤ THE VIEW !!💥💪💪👊
Skyscrapers with lights makes a city more interesting ... Im glad London is not run by youtubers.
Just smash some LED’s on everything and it’s suddenly super interesting!
He said it would improve the view...which is true.
Uncle mike is a proper legend, the guy is rich as fuck and still takes the subway to get to the gym like a simple dude. This guy represents us
How else you expect him to get their in London…
He makes muppets think he's rich as fuck.
Your videos are a pleasure to watch.
What’s the preset or the style used to edit them like this?
23:57 - London is the financial hub, that's why the pound kicks most other currency's ass. Plus the city has a rich history unlike any other. Sky scrapers would mess it up unc Mike, cmon!
Pound lost a big chunk of its power, and is still losing. If nothing changes, soon pound will be 1on1 with USD.
The financial hub part is also losing influence, to places like Singapore, Dubai, etc.
@@hhkk6155 unfortunately, I don't disagree with about the future of the pound.
@@hhkk6155because the government raised taxes after Brexit when they should have lowered them.
@@Dedicated_.1 yup, 👍 that was just mental. Double kill for the economy
The white shirt you were wearing in the video, it's from your THRST brand right? I couldn't locate it on your website. Love how it looks and would love to own one myself.
Great VLOG! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Mike you should make a video on how these days people are hopping one country to another? I’m super curious why you’ve left London & chosen Dubai instead.
I need this white shirt! Get this in your collection asap :D
"I won't sleep properly if I take pre-workout" - Uncle Mike knows how to prioritise the right things.
Sleep is underrated. When I lost 35lb last year, my week on week drop in weight was lowest when I had poor quality sleep. Hence why I sometimes ate my breakfast before bed in order to prioritise sleep and then be powered by a vegan protein shake from wake up to early lunch at 11:00am.
Mike is the man. Keep it up bro❤❤ much love 👍👍
I so hope you're planning to meet up with David from How to Beast. You've both got exactly the same number of subs!
Shawty at 10:02 was giving you the looks Mike
sad what people say about london now, would love to visit it some day.
Hello Mike, I QUITE...UNfortunately don't see that white terry-cloth shirt with YOUR THRST EMBLEM on it on your website!!. Do you plan on launching a collection??? Cheers
Mid summer was fun this year.
The African genes are just differently amazing. He got an incredible body
It's only amount of juice 😅💉
This guy isn’t African and he’s likely on PEDs.
