I'm here now. Got here 3 weeks ago and it was freezing!! This Texas girl did not come prepared. Lol. Took Elizabeth line in, and I'm leaving tomorrow on the Picadilly!! I did a lot of busses while here. Bus stops everywhere and Google maps tells you which one you need to get to your location. Also, the tap tap cap was amazing!

@YourGuidesAbroad 20 дней назад

Well done on your trip! It has been unseasonably cold! I'm glad you survived and it sounds like you are navigating London like a Londoner. Safe travels home!

Another great vlog! You two always have the best information (and I love your banter back and forth too!). Your info about the cell plans and discussing the transport from airport was extra helpful! Thank you so much for all the good details! I have the flights, the hotel, a London Pass, booked and now waiting for our restaurant/attraction dates (September 2024) to open up! Have a wonderful New Year - I look forward to more of your videos in the upcoming year!

You sound like an excellent planner! You will have a wonders trip!!

One mistake I made was I booked a cruise before looking if there was anything happening in London. We're getting there smack in the middle of Wimbledon 🤦‍♀️ I wish we had at 2 days in London instead of only 1, but we're heading out from Southampton on a 16nt cruise so I'm already booking a lot of time off at work.

@castlebound2010 5 месяцев назад

This is an excellent guide. We will be going to London in the summer of 2024 and we'll be following your advice. Thanks you.

@YourGuidesAbroad 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching and for the comment! Have a wonderful trip this summer. A lot more videos are coming!

@AsherTravelsVlogs 4 месяца назад

This guide is truly exceptional! We're heading to London in this summer, and we'll definitely be heeding your advice. Thank you for sharing such valuable insights. We'll be sure to explore options for Express Parking as suggested. Much appreciated!

I'm glad you found our new channel! We have more London planning videos coming out to help with those big summer vacations. Thanks for watching and the comment!

@DavidWood2 4 месяца назад

If you know you will take the Heathrow Express, book in advance as it is much cheaper. The Elizabeth Line is now through-running, so if you want another location on the Elizabeth Line than Paddington, it will save you changing at Paddington. It has become extremely popular and gets very busy. When you say car hire, I am glad that you clarified you meant private hire (hiring a car with a driver to take you somewhere: Uber, Addison Lee, Twelve Transfers etc.). Do not hire a car for London - parking in the centre is heavily restricted and very expensive, also the roads are congested and challenging if you are not used to driving in the UK. There is a good reason why most Brits will use public transport in London wherever possible.

@lorrytrujilloperezphd 4 месяца назад

90 days in advance for the best price.

@code-on-Trip-app Месяц назад

Subway or train is fine. I remember there have been activities recently.

Thank you for this very informative video plus the free itinerary. Can you please tell me how to access the packing list on your site? There doesn't appear to be a link on that resource. 🌷

We are working on getting it written! The website is under construction. Stick with us as we come out with more articles soon.

I’m looking for the E-SIM Airalo link and don’t see it. Am I missing something? Also, would love a separate video &/or article on just the Phone Plan & E-SIM Tips and Help!!! Thanks - your video have great content!

@YourGuidesAbroad 2 месяца назад

That is a great idea! It warrants more information and how to connect. We will do it. Here is a link to them, get their app: www.airalo.com/

@batshevanivylerner8582 4 месяца назад

what about families of 5? while the US does have some hotels that cater to families of 5, i haven't found any in London. Do you know of any? We're talking about relatively young children, so they can't be in a room by themselves.

@szusman 4 месяца назад

Do you have a 13 days planned in London? I will be arriving April 19th and be leaving may 3rd.

@YourGuidesAbroad 3 месяца назад

Thanks for asking! We are working on a London itinerary. Stay tuned. Grab our one day London itinerary as then you will be on our mailing list. Thank you!

Start with the big museums - the Victoria and Albert (the V&A), the British Museum and the National Gallery. The National Gallery is in Trafalgar Square where you will also find St. Martin in the Fields church. In the basement of the church (the crypt) there is a wonderful cafeteria which serves healthy and delicious breakfasts and lunches. There is also a shop and facilities for brass rubbing (another great rainy day activity). There are also concerts at lunch time in the church (free) and candlelit evening concerts (not free). Day trips are wonderful. In addition to Bath and Cambridge, do go to Hampton Court Palace and Windsor. The gardens at Hampton Court are wonderful and very expansive - there are deer herds. Both Hampton Court and Windsor are easily reached by train. Still in London, take the tube to Hampstead. There are charming and suitably ancient pubs and Hampstead Heath to walk on. Regents Park is another treat for its gardens and there is a Zoo if you or your kids are into that sort of thing. Have a great time!

@regardie99 5 месяцев назад

I have between now and March 20th to make one lol

@code-on-Trip-app Месяц назад

Is there a money-saving strategy for transportation? The cost of transportation in the UK is too high. I only heard that there is a railway discount recently.

@YourGuidesAbroad Месяц назад

Book the National Railway tickets early as that gives you better prices and options. We find public transport to be well priced. See our London Transport video for tips.

@user-ej2ld1os6m 5 месяцев назад

Can you do one on the public toilets in London.

@AndyKing1963 4 месяца назад

use pubs and railway stations

@YourGuidesAbroad 4 месяца назад

Central London is pretty good with public toilets in the parks and along the street. They may cost 10 pence or more, but they are clean. We will share some tips in a future video.

@jenanization 3 месяца назад

Go in McDonalds or Costa.

@meredithhoffman2892 Месяц назад

If we are going to London and staying at the Great Scotland Yard Hotel -how should we get there from Heathrow, since it’s an hour drive?

@YourGuidesAbroad Месяц назад

Thanks for watching! Take the Elizabeth Line to Tottenham Court and then take the tube or cab. I hope that helps!

@meredithhoffman2892 Месяц назад

@@YourGuidesAbroad thanks we are using all your suggestions!

@gamezjhnny 2 месяца назад

What are your thoughts on those travel apps. I have found plane tickets cheaper on these platforms than the airline directly.

@YourGuidesAbroad Месяц назад

We need to explore them more. In the past, there are good deals but you have to jump on them and be flexible. We should look at them again...

@code-on-Trip-app Месяц назад

You can use skyscanner to find cheap air tickets. If you buy more train tickets, you can buy a railcard, or use a separate discount.

@code-on-Trip-app Месяц назад

You can use skyscanner to find plane tickets. Trainpal has a discount on train tickets recently.

@timdaugherty5921 2 месяца назад

handsome!!

@Mathemagical55 3 месяца назад

You really don't need to book for a pub meal unless it's incredibly popular. Just show up early and you'll be fine.

@jenanization 3 месяца назад

You do if you want a Sunday roast though

@dale9706 4 месяца назад

Freaking out arriving in London without data? Getting a SIM (if you dont have ESIM) is the easiest thing.

probably needed to point out that a Taxi/Uber/Lyft from either airport will cost you around !00 pounds

Hi folks, Transport from Airports, in your video, you kept saying Heathrow Express but showing Gatwick Express.

@YourGuidesAbroad 4 месяца назад

We are aware, we put a comment up to that effect. We had a lot of footage of the Gatwick Express and not the Heathrow Express. That is all.

"With climate change the summers are getting better" Are you for real? It's a climate crisis and that's huge negative impacts on how people will manage to live. It's not an opportunity to have warmer summers. Please take it seriously, your nonchalance has an impact. Try reading at least the summary of the IPCC synthesis report.

@YourGuidesAbroad 4 месяца назад

You're right, we should have said that differently. We take climate change seriously.
