They do have some great architects, and the will to implement their visions. Many countries / cities have forgotten about the importance of inner-city architecture and just build any old rubbish dog-box cookie-cutter buildings sadly.
I am heading to London soon and this was honestly the best travel guide video I have seen so far! So beautifully cinematic and informative. I love how you included things to do nearby and gave an aerial view of the neighborhoods. I feel more confident for this trip and feel like I really have a lay of the land
I always look forward to your videos. And this one is both aesthetically lovely and quite helpful for travelling to London. Please do continue with your plans for future videos. I'm sure I'll appreciate them too.♡
Hi, the composition of wide angle shots for the entrance, etc are beautiful & thoughtful! The narration is quite deep, informative, yet easy to catch for intermediate non native speaker of English who wants to know UK & the world & improve the English at the same time. The most important thing in most of your channel, you have quite an awesome English dialect that gives advantage for improving Pronunciation & Listening. Plus, how you tell the stories of places are systematic, easy for my brain to catch & grasp about the places.
I hope someday travel to London and meet these fantastic places, the history, the art and the science are for my the best spaces of knowlodgind, this video is a good resume about place for meeting ❤
Fantastic roundup of the best London museums! Your recommendations are spot-on. Can't wait to explore these cultural gems and follow up with the post-museum adventures. Thanks for the great insights! 🇬🇧
I'd really like to see that street food markets video!. I've also loved this one, so well edited and full of useful information. Keep the good work going please 👏👏👏 and congrats on the channel! (I've been binge watching most of the videos and now I miss London more than ever lol)
I’ve been to London many times and visited most of your recommendations however you gave some good ideas for our next visit this summer. First will be Somerset House which I’ve not seen and a return to my favorite, Victoria and Albert Museum.
For a smaller, more intimate experience, my favorite is Sir John Soane's Museum, a short walk from the British Museum. The personal collection is fascinating, and the architecture is wonderful.
Hello Suitcase Monkey Awesome video will be great for those planning a visit to London. I would add one more museum, the Imperial War Museum to a must see. In the future when they are done their refurbishment the Coultard art gallery at Somerset house. Looking forward to the next one. Take Chris and Sandra if Canada.
Thank you for the tips and tricks in this vlog, very useful...we are planning to visit London in 2023 straight from the Australian Outback, so this is a good starting point in our research phase. All the best 👍🏼
Much appreciated by someone who just relocated to London from the US this year - still taking my time exploring the city's offerings. Great insights and can I say your narration is soothing as hell to listen too. Would certainly like to see a London markets video and, of course, any additional London food vids. :)
Somerset House is also home to the Courtauld Gallery, which is great -- lots of Impressionist and Post-Impressions paintings. Very much worth seeking out if you're an art lover.
wow, this video couldn’t have come at a better time! i’m 19 and have been planning my first ever solo trip to london to visit both the V&A and national gallery. i’m a history student and absolutely love museums, and these 2 are just world class. i will have to do a second visit to do the Tate as well! thank you so much for all the info, and the nearby cafes were really helpful too :)
I'm excited for more London content! I originally found this channel because of your 5 day guide and I was planning a trip to London. Pandemic obviously cancelled that, but I'm still learning and discovering more for when I actually can travel there. I can't wait!
Near Tate Britain: just across the river is the Garden Museum in an old church. On a good day, go up the church tower for a really good view. Also, in the City, the Guildhall Art Gallery and Roman Amphitheatre.
It's also worth noting that Tate Britain houses the largest collection of paintings by JMW Turner (one of my favourite painters) and I plan on visiting there in 5 weeks time when I'll be in London! I'll also make sure to visit the Battersea Power Station (made famous by Pink Floyd) which is just a short walk away from Tate Britain, so it's perfect really as both buildings are within close proximity to eachother.
I just discovered your channel & I love your content💗. I'm super excited to be traveling next month to the UK and to check out some of those sites you made mentioned in your Vlog. I appreciate the way you present the information and how it is truly from the eyes of a native son🇬🇧. With 💜 from Michigan, 🇺🇸
I had the great pleasure to live in London in the mid 80's during my semester abroad program from Guilford College, Greensboro, NC in the US. It was the best time of my life. We lived in the Hyde Park West Hotel off Nottinghill Gate. I was there for 6 months. My favorite gallery was the Tate. I am eager to return and visit all that I saw with the addition of the Tate Modern. What a wonderland of history, beauty and delight.
Another exceedingly wonderful video! I’ve always skipped the Cutty Sark but I’ll go in now. Your choice of shots and your framing is very well done - thank you.
Just returned from our week in London. Agree with everything in this vid. British Museum, Natural History, Tate Modern - awesome and free. Cutty Sark - fee, but well worth it. National Maritime - good and free. Royal Observatory - fee and rather small, but interesting for those science-minded.
As an American i must say London is one of my favorite cities. I've been to the British museum to see the Egypt exhibition. But I look forward to seeing more. Love your videos ❤❤❤
WOW! I immediately subscribed; what an amazing "show" (it reminds me of a good television show)! The narration is so much fun and the editing is perfect. I loved it.
Very good, and thanks for not being chauvinistic. Two of my favorites are both National Galleries: one in London (UK), and one in Washington, DC (USA).
For me, as a former Londoner, it’s the planetarium, Imperial War Museum and London Transport Museum which I enjoyed going to many times. The latter two never get boring as the continuously add more and more stuff all the time. The Museum of London is also amazing but it has just sadly closed for a few years.
This was great! Helps us narrow down (or confirm) which museums we're going to visit when we visit London. Love your videos!! I was very excited to see a new one after so long. 😊👍
Thank you for another beautiful video about this amazing city 🙏🏼 My favorite museum is the V&A. Because of Covid i wasn‘t able to visit London for the last 2 years, but watching your videos brings it a little bit closer to me ☺️
Great video. Even I found the V&A the best of the 3 I visited in London. We visited the National Gallery on a friend's suggestion and we are glad we visited it. Would love it if you can do a video on wandering around seven dials.
Don't forget the sensational Wallace Collection in Manchester's Square and the Sir John Soane museum in Lincoln's Inn Fields. Both more than worth a visit.
Your narration of London's best Museums is clear and concise. Every time Harriet and I ( Jim) go to london we take in some Museums. The choices were just right. Love you guys. Like to see you more often. Be Well my friends. Harriet and Jim . Richmond, Va.
A great selection of museums. I have been to a few over my several trips to London, with the Natural history museum being my favourite listed. I also love Windsor castle, which although outside London, was an easy train trip/day out. The Military museum was also fantastic, although I mainly went for a paid exhibition on the 1950s.
Arhhhhh Paula, you've done it again but in a more classy and sophisticated way this time. Huge congrats to you and now that us NSW, Australia residence are finally hitting out own version of "Freedom Day" tomorrow, Vincent and I can't wait to visit all of these places mentioned in your video in person. I think my favourite museum looks like the Natural History one, looks interesting and full of surprises. As always, look forward to your next insightful video on London's markets.
I'd add the Guildhall, an art gallery with the remains of a Roman ampitheatre in the basement, and - a bit out of the way, perhaps - the Horniman museum, a sort of overgrown cabinet of curiosities.
