Here's what I've learned about london, you can walk over the most expensive street and wear the most expensive perfume, get a massage with an expensive view, eat at the most expensive restaurant, and then sleep at the most expensive suite... in other words I'm too poor for London
@@yonathanasefaw9001 it's not that expensive to be honest . depends on how many times you would go and which brand of Cinema you go to,. if this person, can't afford to just see one movie at Any cinema in London he must be trolling or is very poor
Happy Llama And just how do you come to that happy conclusion, Happy? Just how is it not "as expensive as people make out"? Do you have some magic formula for avoiding accommodation costs? And as for food, I mean, sure you could eat at McDonalds or KFC every day, but do you think people would travel from around the globe just to do that?
don't like this particular video much......it seems more like 15 things you don't know about london hotels, rather than the city. the city has so much to offer.
Alux.com are you sure "luxury living" in a city is confined to a bar with a view, a spa with a view.....just sayin london as a city has so much to offer in luxury living besides the amenities of her hotels. as an example, sports : you can go on and on about the most expensive seats in wimbledon (tennis) or stamford bridge (football). the summer inflow of middle eastern rich and their cars (which is a luxury phenomenon not found elsewhere). real estate :expensive penthouses (one hyde park has one, if i am not mistaken). museums : v$a, tate modern, british museum....eponynomous with luxury fine arts. i am sure the rich ppl does appreciate a well curated museum in the city they are living. cultural richness alongwith weath, just sayin... so much more, and many more....
Alux.com no this is a leftist channel...... has nothing to do with luxury........ and your fact check is false stop listening to ppl on the streets and get your facts correct......
Not everywhere else drives on the other side of the road. Japan, Thailand, Australia, Bhutan, Cyprus, India, Mozambique and many more also drive on the left.
I live in London at present, but due to foreign billionaire bastards buying up property in all four corners of the city, i most likely will not be able to live my home town so I don't see the point of glorifying the people who are taking away proper affordable homes from people who have lived in the city all their lives and have access to the type of funds middle and lower income Londoners, which make up the majority of the city, will never come close to. We shouldn't glorify decadence whilst there are people in impoverished areas of London, like Barking and Dagenham, Newham etc, who are suffering whilst there are the rich upper classes who won't even donate to those who have lost family, belongings and their homes in Grenfell Tower
that's the how we Africans feel about the fact that almost all the precious lands and mines being owned by the foreigners because they have money to buy,
I live in North Kensington, London its a pretty different side to the London that we see today. Kensington isnt all rich and full of multi billionaires. In fact it's one of the only boroughs that shows a huge contrast between rich and poor. You could even be a billionaire and live a 4 story london home and be next to a council estate.
You drive on the "wrong" side of the road at the Savoy so that black cab drivers can open the right hand side door from inside and let you out. If they drove on the left they could not open the left door from inside (they are sat on the right). The width of the street also determines the turning circle of black cabs.
@@ukisbeggar8462 u r saying like before looting India London was just barren land like today no one is working in London everyone is using Audi Mercedes Bmw rolls Royce Bentley also owns Lamborghini Ferrari even their super cars like McLaren Aston Martin and also indian owned jaguar Land Rover is also british grow up child ma bhi chota tha aisa hi bolta tha 🤪🤣 pagalo ki tarah jaise yaha gadi ki taraf bhagte hai waha pe bhi bhagte hai loota hota to kaha bhagte hur kisike pas hoti Thames nadi jaise waha thi hi nahi saaf India ke paiso se karaya hai na
Well actually the Queen isn't a tenant because all Palaces and Castles that she does not personally own are vest in the Crown. The State is the Crown, the Queen is the Head of the Crown, therefore the Queen has the pleasure of using the Palaces.
Well, thank you for introducing London. I am a Londoner. I grew up in South Kensington not far from all these places. Harrods used to be a selective place, not anymore. I used to go there for a good lunch. Sadly, the price has skyrocketed but the quality has gone down. Yes, you have covered London well, however, you left out one the most important part of London: The City. Look it up and you might do just The City?
I didn't like this video much, as it did not give anything about the city or its rich history its just talking about hotels and cataloging your other videos.
No4 is because of the savoy theatre being on the right of savoy place. So in order for people to alight taxis on the correct side we drive on the right. And the turning circle taxis in London must have 25 feet is based on being able to turn in savoy place in one manoeuvre
Fact check.. The idea that everyone else drives on the right hand side is nonsense. Almost the entire African continent, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, the West Indies, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong and many other places drive on the left!
Hi Alux Thanks for the great videos. As an avid South African follower may I suggest that you consider a video about South Africa's most beautiful city: Cape Town. Keep up the great work. J.T. Erasmus
London has some quality people that you'll never get anywhere else in the world such as Skepta, JME, KSI and The Chicken Connoisseur. London is also the place where you can get stabbed by a "roadman" with the precision like they are the king of jousting in 1459, truly a brilliant place but if you go south east into the county of Kent you get the most middle class UKIP voters in the UK which you wouldn't get anywhere else. So my foreign friends come to England and visit London.
How does a wealthy sort avoid acid attacks from the diverse multiculturals? I like the exotic cuisine, but it must be difficult to go slumming into the bohemian areas of London without the worry of getting a big, heaping splash of love from a local mugger. If I were a billionaire, I would want to do all I could to avoid the acid throwers.
If you ask a taxi driver why Savoy Court is the only road in London where you drive on the right he will tell you it is so the passengers can get out in front of the hotel on the driver’s side where he can assist more easily. Good old British courtesy.
If you're going to make a film about London, at least make some vague attempt to pronounce the place names correctly. Here's a hint, its not Bel-Grarvia, Bow-Row, Aggin-Court or Nor-Foak.
This video is not just about the 1.12 square miles of the City of London. Much of what is shown is within the City of Westminster. The monarch owns also the Palace of Westminster in right of the Crown, and which maintains its status as a royal residence.
Hi Alux creators. I'll just start by saying that the videos are no doubt amazing. The point that bothers us is the negation used in the titles. If we could try using '15 things you should know about ...' it will have a positive ring to it. Please consider this thought.
I've always enjoyed aerial shots of London, there's something special about them! The grey skies only add to the beauty of the city... Breathtaking :-) Makes me miss Britain!
Actually the Lanesborough Hotel doesn’t exactly overlook Buckingham Palace, technically it overlooks the back wall in a distance filled with trees, but only if you at it look across the one of the UK's busiest junctions towards the rear of the gardens. If you are hoping to see the Queen putting the washing out or Prince Philip taking the rubbish out you will be sadly disappointed. London has a pros and cons like any other city, in London you can find communities from most nationalities Americans, Koreans, Middle East, Vietnamese you can find it here along with the restaurants. Cons it is becoming a tad too expensive city to live in and as in other cities, attracting far too many people willing to relieve many of these billionaires or millionaires of the odd Dollar, Euro, Pound or two.
i dream about trips and travelling to uk, so i really like to hear about especially st paul's cathedral. i did have a map of london when i was 18 yrs. i simply think the Queen and royals are marvelous!
Just a couple of things, Windsor Castle is not in London and never has been. Also Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace are not owned by the State put by the Crown Estate. So the Queen is not a tenant at either....
The UK isn't the only country that drives on the left side of the road there are many like India Japan South Africa Kenya Jamaica Thailand indonesia and many more
Please make this kind of video on New York Las Vegas Los Angeles Chicago Silicon Valley and many more metropolitan area which gave huge impact on their national
