5 things we LOVE about London as Americans! Experiencing the MAGIC of the UK Capital!! 

As a Brit I had a business trip to Virginia, Michigan and Ontario. None of those accents are difficult, but when I found 'Are You Being Served?' on a PBS channel, it was like instant relaxation. And that's not a programme I'm happy to admit watching.

It's refreshing to see a RU-vidr with actual charm and charisma. Hope you get that call for the new Harry Potter series!

Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you had fun in London. Happy you put the old stereotype about English food to rest, as you said it's a mix of cultures and our national dish is Chicken Tikka Masala. I've lived in London for 20 years and haven't tried half of what you did! There's a lot of cheaper places to stay a little further out. Our public transport in London is excellent so it's easy to get in to central London via bus/train/underground no matter where you are. All the major museums in London are free, so you can plan a day out based around that. A "full English breakfast" isn't to everyone's taste. The black pudding is optional, as is mushrooms and tomato. As long as there's sausage, beans, egg and bacon you're golden. A 'fry up' as it's also called, is better from a dingy little cafe (pronounced caff). They do the best ones for a cheap price. The afternoon tea you had, you had flavoured tea! BIG MISTAKE! Noooooooo! Traditional tea with milk is the way to go! The term 'downtown' is alien to UK. It's not used at all and no one here would have a clue what you mean if you're asking for directions. London is split up in to areas, 'central London', East & West End and you will prob hear "north of the river" or "south of the river". Have to agree though about people being helpful. London is a busy city, we all have somewhere to go and we try to do that as quickly and quietly as possible (which is why it's frowned upon to talk to strangers on the tube). However, if you're in help and ask someone, taking them out of their 'gotta get to my destination' headspace - we will happily help anyone in need. Only thing I like to remind visitors to our city, everyone guarding the palaces and castles are active military, show some respect. Just because they're wearing fancy uniform or on a horse doesn't mean they're in a costume - they're working, show some respect. (Only caveat is the Yeoman Warders at Tower of London, they're all ex-military but are still active protecting the King).

You said you would have to "live here to fully experience everything" i was born in London 71 years ago and i still havent seen all there is to see. Great video, and i'm really pleased you liked London, please come back and see us again sometime.

Not surprised you didn’t like the mushroom risotto. Most truffle oil made with a synthetic flavour compound with barely any actual truffle in it - and tastes grim. Save your truffle eatng to a trip to Italy where your waiter will grate some shavings from a real truffle onto your pasta - tastes amazing!

Great Video! I love all the tips! Makes me want to book a trip for sure!! Such a beautiful layout of London!

Last time I was in Borough Market it was still a wholesale vegetable market and I was delivering 11 tons of potatoes, all in 56lb bags hand loaded and unloaded on/off the flatbed lorry. Collected at 3am that wet cold morning from a farm in Cambridgeshire.

'We've been here about five days and we haven't even scratched the surface'... guys, my first visit to London was when I was 14. I am now 54, have visited London at least twice a year since (I live in the North of England) and I still feel like there's so much I haven't gotten around to yet! Loved the video, I'll be sure to check out some more!

You should also try adding grated cheese on top of the beans on toast. Also worth trying grated cheese on toast under a grill (broiler) and then add some Branston pickle or Worcester sauce on top of the melted cheese side. British comfort food. You can probably get the British Heinz beans and Branston pickle online anywhere in the world. I don’t like tea either and I’m British!

I enjoyed your vlog! I've been watching a lot of videos in preparation for my first trip to London later this year, and I have to say you both were entertaining. I love the honest feedback on what you were eating too. I'm a new subscriber, and I have a feeling you two will grow the channel a lot based on your personalities!

Hope she gets the part, glad you enjoyed London, cheers

_An awesome video share! This video is a heartwarming glimpse into enchanting vibrant energy of magnificent London city. Thank you for sharing this wonderful inspiration with us._ _Greeting from Indonesia._ 🇮🇩

Great review too!

Amazing editing!! You really killed it with this one! Great job!

For more Harry Potter sights you need to travel out of London. Go to Gloucester Cathedral, Oxford University, Edinburgh, where JK Rowling wrote the book, and take the Jacobite Steam Train from Fort William to Mallaig. There you will ride over the famous Glenfinnan viaduct famous from the films. Also Kings Cross station in London has a platform 9¾ where you can take great photos trying to push a luggage trolley through the wall.

did you experience a Shepherds Pie it's like a Cottage Pie but made with lamb

That was not traditional English tea lol

Nice! Nandos started as a single location in DC now it has expanded all over the US. It is originally South African.

16:50. The bridge there is Southwark Bridge not London Bridge. However London Bridge is actually just visible in the shot though. The bridge behind Southwark Bridge is Cannon St railway bridge and behind that in the distance you can just see a bit of London Bridge. Visitors frequently get confused about which one is London Bridge so you're not the first and won't be the last 🙂

Our history is insane

You need to go to Greenwich and find Goddard's Pie and Mash for a real traditional London meal,get it with the parsley liquor, and use the chilli vinegar, I normally get a double double,which is two pies with double mash, if your on Bankside it doesn't take long to get to Greenwich, your in London why mention Man United,there are loads of top London clubs

York is better but if you love Harry Potter you will like York the history is unbelievable there is a specially licensed shop called He Who Shall not be named try to visit York you won’t regret it 👍😊

Don't think theyd want an Aussie Accent in Harry Potter film .Manchester United is up North in Manchester. Ha Ha Ha

Never been to Nando’s / it’s the only thing on my bucket list - I can never go there though as my bucket list would be empty ..

Wow, astonished you didn't like afternoon tea.

Fantastic...Glory Glory Man Utd...lol...love Rose to death, she's so much fun ...she WILL GROW this channel so quickly, she's so endearing ❤

You had your hat nailed on!

Can honestly say that I am not surprised you didn't like the tea. Just by the colour alone, it looks as though you waved the teabag over the water. Tea should be 'seeped' for a few minutes, so the flavour is drawn out. Also, you probably had an Earl Grey breakfast tea and not a proper cuppa. Maybe next time. Just a word of warning, it is not a good idea to shout "Manchester United" in a southern city that has several large football teams of its own. Football supporters are very serious about their club. I am glad you enjoyed your visit to our capital city. Maybe on your next trip you can visit Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, York. Wonderful northern cities with amazing history, good food, great beer and fabulous people. It will also be less expensive. As a tourist, you can purchase a rail card that saves you a lot of money off your rail fare. You can then take in some of Scotland and Wales, too! See you both soon ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

£ 190 bloody hell .Id want real wizard's and a broom Stick for that .

The river Thames is pronounced “temz”

LOL, that accent! Only it wouldn't be Manu, it would be "Chell-see" or any London club. But overall, pretty good! One thing - London doesn't have a "downtown" as American cities do. Or even in a Manhattan sense. It's West End ("town") or The City or Islington but never "downtown". Good vid - I lived there for 45 years, only leaving (retiring) a couple of years ago. Still love it, but Bath is a great little substitute.

An English accent from the Dick Van Dyke academy ! 😅

How can you not like afternoon tea

Try Leather lane market street food if you're still here and the bridge you showed close to your digs was southwark bridge not London bridge.

Are there any places to sit and eat at borough market?

Never seen Harry Potter myself, but I'm from Edinburgh where it was written, and many locations were based on actual places here. Next time you visit, try visiting outside London, Scotland,wales, the North of England all have something to offer, and usually much cheaper than London.

Rose's English accent 😂 sounds good, but sounds more like hagrid.

Can you explain what you mean by 'downtown London'? Its not a term Londoners use.

I appreciate the love, but you got so much wrong - Firtsly, n'o one should wish to stay 'North side of the Thames, in zone 1... Let's compare: If you stay in NYC - you choose Brooklyn for the VIEW of Manhatten, and the cheaper prices.. OR... you stay mid town, to be central and walk to 'most places'. London is laid out in a different manner and 3x bigger than NYC.. however.. you need to advise people to stay in Kensington, Chelsea, Bayswater, Notting Hill, Islington, South Hampstead..and so on... 10 minutes anywhere by tube, but without noise and tourist BS!!!!!

It doesn't look like you let the tea brew as it came out looking like hot water. The tea needs to steep a bit and milk needs adding. If you're British you know how to get the timing right to get the right cup of tea. Maybe you won't like tea anyway but you it looked like you just had insipid hot water. Glad you seemed to like the food though.

I’ve got a couple of tips for you 😉 1) let the tea brew. You poured water out of the pot at the afternoon tea. 2) please don’t try our accent unless asked. It really hurts our ears 😂 3) The Thames is pronounced Tems.

Glad you enjoyed your trip to London, but I must say that the 'Full English Breakfast' you had looked disgusting and overcooked (imo). As a Londoner, and having lived in London for over 26 years, I couldn't help but wonder what 'Downtown' London is? Maybe another Londoner could help me out. Looking forward to your next video.

Street food / no thanks - and I live here…

Hope you Liked all the nicked stuff in the British Museum.

Americans, Eat, Eat, Eat. 🤣🤣

What I have noticed if you go European countries they expect you speak there language. Spanish.french. italian.and so on.

How do you think the food in the UK compares to Germany? I've heard German baked food is better

What’s with Harry Potter stuff??

Manchester United 😮😂😂😂 not in London luv ... more like Tottenham, West Ham, Arsanal and Chelsea... definitely not Manchester United.... great video

Its a cesspool

We love united we do . We love united we do.owwe united we love you. Great Vlog. Come back soon. Try york.chester.bath. 😊
