Visiting London with Friends! (5 Day Travel vlog) 

Glad you enjoyed it!!!

Thank you for the kind words!!! Yes we can't forget Wales. We are currently planning out the June trip. 10 days in UK to visit the sites of Kelsey's Scottish ancestors

Thank you for all the kind words! Our friend Yasi handled most of the planning, so we owe her for the neat itinerary. We're looking forward to going back, maybe even taking a job there one day. And Gymkhana... when I (Dave) heard we were going to a Michelin Star, it really made me nervous. But 60 pounds per person isn't too bad, all things considered. We can always make more money later 🫣

I just visited. Tried a lot of the tourist things. The best things I did was to just take a bus to anywhere and walk around in the beautiful neighborhoods.

​@a.humphries8678 how nice is that? Just walking around and breathing in the soul of the city. Feeling the vibe of the people and where they live. Well done.

@scottbarry62 it was amazing!!! It's so beautiful. The green areas and parks and markets and people... ❤️

I know. That's why I'm going to get a place over there and start spending half my time in London. Also, I will use it as a jumping off location to visit the rest of Europe.

Thank you, Lucia! We watch tons as well, and have seen several people visit Ushuaia!

@@pillarsandfillers You have? Many people stop by on their way to Antarctica maybe one day you'll be vlogging from here! 🤗

The best!

Thank you Howard!

Thank you Mr James!

Shame they were staying in what is the "grottiest" part of London, the east end! Not a good first impression of the UK sadly.

In June!

That's good to know! We moved around a lot, but we were surprised by how much we spent on the London metro 🤷‍♂️. In the next cities on our trip (Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Athens) we got smarter and spent much less

@@pillarsandfillers ​ An Oyster card or Contactless Credit Card gives you the lowest available fares and a daily price cap on London's public transport system. It's not clear if you used either of these but If you didn't you will have paid a lot more than you needed to.

Yes, for your limited budget, I was really surprised to see you took the Heathrow Express.

That is a great way to put it! Cheers!

Thank you! I won't make that mistake twice 😁

I just did the Elizabeth express into London, and Picadilly when leaving. Love the public transit!

I've been inside one of those apartments and in one of the apartments in the round St George's Wharf Tower. They're very nice but fitting in regular shaped furniture must be a pain.

It's the best collection in the world! We'd both been there on previous trips to London so we didn't go this time

That's amazing! Thanks for telling us!

Thank you! We are getting better 😉

Thank you! I'm glad to know that now

Saved it in Google maps! Thank you Mark

@@pillarsandfillers Enjoy! 👍

Let us know your favorites! Those were the two best we went to in our few days there. We talked about how it would be fun to get jobs in London for a year or so and really learn the place

@@pillarsandfillers Next time you're in London do not miss a trip to Borough Market (just by London Bridge and Southwark Cathedral). Yes, I know that it is a major tourist attraction but it's still got the best range of the most amazing foods and produce.

For sure! Thank you

That's a good point! Right now I'm looking at things to do in and around Edinburgh for June. Every day we'll probably run out of energy before we run out of daylight!

Thanks for the food rec! 😊

If I had £1 for every London travel vlog I've watched where the vlogger goes to Dishoom, I'd have enough money for a nice meal at Gymkhana! Indian restaurants are literally everywhere in the UK, often even in the smallest of villages. Dishoom seems to be "trendy" at the moment, but it's by no means the only place to go for good Indian food...far from it, in fact!

That's amazing! Next time in London I'll revisit it to see if it's operational

☺️ thank you ☺️

Thank you. I was going to post that. I cringed when I heard him say that. For God's sake, where have you been your entire life?

​@@scottbarry62 Lighten up. You think people from other countries know how to pronounce the words of rivers they aren't familiar with? Oh wait, because it's special Little Britain you deserve to be self-important and annoyed about it?

@@paradisekohchangstyle2150 I expect that before somebody makes a vlog about something that they know what they're talking about. Otherwise keep your stupid ideas and your pathetic advice to yourself. By the way, that Little Britain created the greatest Empire the world has ever seen. Not to mention the Parliament that has been copied all over the world. And then of course there are all the inventions that came out of this little country that start the Industrial Revolution. And I'm an American. You can't get anything right.

A few years ago I drove through on a tour bus. We have plans in the summer to visit UK so we will go then!

Yeah I said it wrong! 😲 but it was fun to read about the different explanations of its origin and why it's pronounced that way

@@pillarsandfillers cool.

I totally agree! It's all about balance and everyone has their preferences. In the USA I think the best part is Utah and Arizona (the desert) but many would prefer the cities. In a few months we'll visit the Scottish highlands and I can't wait to see it and make that video! Thank you for watching, Anita!

@@pillarsandfillers Cornwall is spectacular, The lakes, The Yorkshire Dale's, Scotland is best from the end of July to October as that's when the Heather is in Bloom. To be honest when we get visitors from abroad we recommend they buy a National Trust membership and base their holiday around the book. It has hundreds properties such as of castles, lighthouses, historic homes gardens and parkland, woods, heritage coastline etc you can access for free. Plus its free parking you normally pay for. Facilities such as loos tearooms etc. Plus graded walks and managed signposted paths. It's about the cheapest way to see the best sights in England. Scottish Heritage is another organisation but it is nowhere near as comprehensive as the National Trust. 10% of out total land area is National Parks. Most visitors do not understand the glory of Britain is our countryside and trains and motorways do not show the best of it.

Seems like people pronounce it differently in different parts of the world. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-w4cRF_Vpg8I.html

⁠​⁠@@pillarsandfillersThere’s only one pronunciation as they’re a music group and that’s their name.

It's pretty tight, but we have saved up a ton of credit card points and airline miles, so flying is usually free!

Great video of my home city. That strange looking building you passed via Uber next to the MI6 is the St George’s Wharf building. Majority of the building is residential with leisure facilities, shops and restaurants. I live very close to it and it’s in the area called Vauxhall. It’s also locally known as the Fairy Towers as it’s full of gays/ lesbians due to the fact that Vauxhall is the centre of London’s gay clubland. It’s good to see people visit London who don’t just do the typical tourist things. Next visit please find a floating bar there are many along the river Thames many are independent bars and some have clubs on them. By the way the river Thames is pronounced ‘THEMS’ . Good luck on your venture.

We didn't know if it was supposed to be like that or not, but the top was like a turtle shell :)

That is interesting!!! Thank you for all the information. Cheers Nigel!

Maybe try a little research about a) what you’re seeing and b) how to pronounce it. Oh and btw, couldn’t care less about your friends who are apparently almost as ignorant about London as you are.
