Lived in London all my life. I have E1 on my birth certificate as a marker of authenticating my comments on this post. Also I have been a licensed taxi driver (black cabs) for 18 years. I have to say these London posts are the best I’ve seen. I’ve been prompted to post because the accuracy of the advice is as if it came from your own parents growing up in London. The Leicester Sq part was absolutely spot on and I’m so glad a foreign visitor, ex pat has highlighted this to potential visitors. We’ll done. Totally endorse these posts and am looking forward in watching more and subscribing.

Agreed, there are actually only 2 two reasons to go to Leicester Square. 1, The TKTS office, to get less than Half Price theatre tickets for the same day. (Avoid other booths nearby at all costs unless you know which are reliable). 2. To see 80% of the sights in half a day, walk 2 minutes from Leicester Sq Station, to Trafalgar Square, the British Museum and Portrate Gallery. Then Walk down under Admiralty Arch, down The Mall, or through St James' Park to Buckingham Palace then up Birdcage Walk to Big Ben, Westminster Abbey and Parliament, then back up Whtehall past No 10 and Horse Guards, Then turn right, back towards the Thames at Embankment Pier and get a River Bus ((RB1 boat) to The Tower of London or Greenwichfor the afternoon.

Been a Londoner all my life so I'm always fascinated to see how others see my fantastic city! When you live and work somewhere its easy to forget what is around you through the day-to-day grind. I'd forgotten about the Sky Garden - I've got lots of holiday time to use up so I'll visit that on my next day off, thanks for the tip! And I can totally vouch for Leicester Square; I work in one of the buildings there and its a nightmare - the odd movie premiere aside its really not that interesting. I'm so glad for hybrid working! Great video by the way - very useful even for residents!

We went to the Sky Garden thanks to your recommendation 👏🏻 We were trying to get a ticket for three months with no luck. We walked up to the door last Friday afternoon and they sent us to the Garden on 120. A short walk away and said to pop back in an hour or so. That was also free and amazing. We went back to the Sky Garden and managed to get in. It was such a great experience. There wasn’t any time limit so we enjoyed the views and had a drink and a chat at our leisure. Family who visited a year earlier had never heard of it and did mostly expensive tourist stuff so thank you so much for your videos! We can’t thank you enough ❤🇬🇧👏🏻☺️

I love London so much I'm currently playing Assassin's Creed Syndicate on my PS4, which is set in 19th century London, and the attention to detail is incredible and gives you the chance to see iconic buildings and monuments such as St Paul's Cathedral, St Stepen's Tower, Nelson's Column and Buckingham Palace up close and from angles you wouldn't see in real life!

@deweydjb Год назад

I went for over a week. The museums are too notch and the special exhibits in them are only 15 to 20 pounds and so well curated. My favorites were the Victoria and Albert, the National Gallery and the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich. I honestly spent four hours a day and didn't see everything they had. And the buses are great and very easy to use!

@Neenlibbyo 8 месяцев назад

We recently spent a week in London and the Sky Garden was one of the highlights. There were a LOT of tourist who turned up and expected to be able to get in that day only to be disappointed. Because of your advice I bookmarked the date 3 weeks out from our trip (when tickets come available) and then sat online for hours trying to book tickets - eventually I got through at 1 am Australian time and it was worth it! Some timeslots were booked out almost straight away but I managed to book for 3.30pm. On the day we arrived about half an hour before our booked time slot and were let straight in (no queue) and enjoyed an amazing gin and tonic with the best view! There were lots of families on the lower level but it was much less crowded on the top level. We stayed for at least 2 hours just enjoying the ambiance and the spectacular views.

@OneRedFeatherStudios. Год назад

Really liked this video. Very informative (as always), but also, lots of nice options as replacement attractions. Your Awful Four is on point with me, but personally, I still like the London Eye experience, simply because every time I visit London, I go on the Eye, but vary the time of day, so it's a nice and new experience when I do. Great job on this.

Just a quick comment. Found your channel and have watched so many of your videos that I’ve actually booked my flight and accommodations based on what I’ve learned from you. Taking my little brother and we are more than excited. Our great grandmother came to the US from London, and our great Aunt Anna Sjoblom (living in London) was on the Titanic. (She survived, and her name is included in the back of the book.) I have a children’s channel here on RU-vid and know how nice it is to know your videos are appreciated. My comments are disabled so I’m usually guessing whether mine are appreciated. Letting you know just how helpful yours are. This grandma has traveled across the world for other reasons, but this is a first time just for pleasure. Thanks for doing what you do. Ok, so not so quick a comment! Apologies.

I went to the Shard on a visit in 2018. Like you, instead of just going to the observatory level, we chose to book in for lunch at the Aqua Shard restaurant, also in the Shard. We pre booked their three course fixed price menu, available for lunch Monday to Friday. It was only slightly more expensive than going to the observatory level. The food was fabulous, the views were great from the restaurant and we had a lovely time. I completely agree with you about the London Eye - it was a waste of time and money. I have yet to visit Sky Garden and hope to add this to my list for my next trip.

I think the London Dungeon was probably a lot more interesting in the 1970's when it was more of a local attraction than a tourist attraction. I remember visiting it soon after it opened when it was tucked away in the backstreets.

I remember it too (Tooley St) but as I haven't been in England for 20 years and probably won't be back for another 20, I think The London Dungeon is a fun recap of the darker London past. Where else in the world can you do that?

Don’t forget, though, that everyone is different. She hates Leicester Square, but it doesn’t mean it’s not still interesting to walk through. First time I was in London I got one of my favourite street photography photos in front of the M+M shop of a protestor with a megaphone. It was a memorable juxtaposition. I avoided Leicester Square last week, however. Instead, took a stroll through Camden Market, after a canal tour. Was it better? Who’s to say? If every-variety of food truck, endless knick-knack shops, and hordes of people are your thing, you’d probably love it. Just remember, if you buy something from a shop, you’ll have to carry it around all day. Factor that in to your plans. A good backpack is a MUST. As for her other things to avoid, also remember she’s been living there for 8-9 years. The novelty of where the tourists go has loooooong worn off. If I also lived there, I’d avoid 95% of the attractions in London. Just like I do in my own city. And I’m always surprised when a visitor says how much they loved something I drive by every day with complete disinterest.

Great advice about the "awful four" and using the Sky Garden vs the Eye. With the eye, though, I just let people know the difference but still don't discourage if they want to go on the eye. (Unlike the awful four, I would always discourage LOL). I disagree about the hop on hop off bus though. Granted, I travel alone so maybe a family of 5 would be best to explore by regular transport. The bus is great for a first time visitor. You get all the pictures of everything you are expecting to see, you get the commentary, most include a 1way trip to Greenwich, again with commentary. At least do the Big Bus for the first couple of days, then you may want to venture on your own. Also ... SO much of what a first timer wants to see is all in walking distance. They're not exactly side by side but you can cover a lot of the usual things on foot.

We have a video about afternoon teas: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FAVE48s0H_4.html and we also recommend lots of nice afternoon teas in our itineraries: shop.loveandlondon.com

Thank you. I know some of the "shallow things" I'm still going to do because its what my British Boyfriend loves to do in London. But I also really love the alternatives you present. Especially about the bus.

You do you girl. Thanks for watching!

I have now watched a few of these videos from this channel. I have also been to London quite a bit (American here). These recommendations are BRILLIANT. She keeps you away from the schlock and directs you to at least the “somewhat more” authentic experiences. EXCELLENT CHANNEL. COMPLETELY FANTASTIC FOR A NEWBIE. My advise: keep it simple……. Go a quarter mile from anywhere that you see a tour bus and find a NEIGHBORHOOD pub. If you go in and have to order at the bar, you found the right place. Find a table, go to the bar and order a pint. Take it back to your table and strike up a conversation with the person next to you. Enjoy. You will find that the Brits want to talk about their trips to America and you will want to talk about yours to the UK. Both of you will leave with solid advice, tips, and “insider” knowledge!

Guided boat tour down the Thames, then get off at the London Eye for a ride. You can buy a combined ticket. Great experience. The boat trip is very educational.

I really enjoyed the Tate Modern and the Sky Garden. Bothe being free was a big bonus.

@gabriellemcmanus2650 Год назад

I love London. I was there in September. I'd recommend a walking tour. It's a great way to see the hidden parts of the city. I've done the Harry potter one, jack the ripper and spies and spycatchers.

@loveandlondon Год назад

We're launching Tours and Experiences in a couple of weeks and we'll be offering a walking tour that is a more ethical alternative to the usual Jack the Ripper tours! :) Thanks for watching!

@BagFullofLuxeByMitch Год назад

Very helpful tip! What App are you using to book afternoon tea or restaurant reservations?

@loveandlondon Год назад

Each place will have their own system so just check on their website and book though that!

@ArunThomasmasku 25 дней назад

Hey Jesse. Must say your channel is extremely informative and has helped me a lot in planning my trip to London in June 2024. Thank you so much 🙏 I was hoping to get some advice regarding the Sky Garden though. Tried to book tickets from their website but it seems like they don't have a slot for any time of the year! They don't even show a calendar from which I could select a date. Is there something I'm missing or is it possible to book tickets from some other website?

@loveandlondon 24 дня назад

On their website, select "book tickets", then the amount of people and a calendar will pop up in the next step. They release their tickets around 3 weeks in advance on Mondays, so keep an eye to check when it's the next release :)

I don’t normally do the hop on hop off. I was considering for our trip next month cause it has two huge loops and can ride for 48 hours and our toddler is free. BUT I will look at a regular bus map and compare.

Totally agree about Leicester Square, except maybe at Christmas when there is a market and entertainment.Also there is a cheap ish premier inn there which is very central for London theatre restaurants shopping etc.
