Thank you for this video emily! it can be a bit scary being a solo traveler so having itinerary videos like this are perfect!!! i hope to visit london one day :)
this was a delight to watch! I had a fun solo day yesterday and watched the ballet by myself last month. While it felt odd at the start to sit there by myself, I soon realized that I enjoy my own company and shouldnt worry about what other people think of me and make the most of it which i did! Very liberating indeed.
London and going solo = two of my favorite things! I will be returning to London next March for the first time in a decade - and your videos (alongside others) are really helping me get in the mood and plan ahead! Keep up the great work.
Loved this; lots of great tips. Particularly the ‘15 minute rule’ about arriving at the theatre. I appreciate your thoughts on solo-ing at such times, as I think most of us would have similar feelings. However, whilst the snack during intermission is definitely helpful, I hope less and less of us will feel ‘awkward’ on our own, going forward. The price of treats in a theatre would be more painful for me than the awkwardness. Funny thing, I’m very comfortable solo-ing in places where nobody knows me, but in my smallish home town here in Ireland, I avoid it like the plague. (And I’m OLD 🤣)
So nice to see you again Emily, you look way more at ease than when I last commented (you were stressing about finding a job). So happy it all worked out for you, though I knew it would eventually. Love the vlog style youve created, very relaxed and genuine......its a winner
A very interesting day out - I felt exhausted by the end! Most theatres have a nice bar where you can chill out before the performance. Have you done the Southbank area and Borough Market yet? For exercise, I often spend an hour or two walking from Westminster Bridge to London Bridge and then getting a snack in the market before heading home.
Perhaps worth mentioning the museums are free. It’s the perfect city: 47% of it is green space; some of the oldest and biggest museums in the world; 65 Michelin stars; night life; shopping; one of the world’s biggest financial centres; the best rail, underground and bus network; a bigger theatre district and shows than Broadway; the second biggest carnival in the world after Rio. If London was a country, it alone would be the 5th largest economy in Europe after Germany, France, Italy and Spain. It ranks 1st in the Global Power City Index, ahead of new York City. And yes, you can say NYC has pretty much all of these (or could have them if it wanted to) but it can never have 47% green space or 2,000 years of history.
Thank you very much for these great videos. I would suggest a video for what to do in London if you have an 8-hour layover. I have been watching your videos trying to piece an itinerary for my layover. Keep up the great work.
Hi Emily ... inspirational video as always. Just an idea it would be more informative if you add a name place/location especially on things to do vlog, thanks
Emily, I am so pleased to have found your channel as its something that I thoroughly enjoy. For what it's worth, I, for one find your manner to be utterly charming and yourself to be absolutely beautiful in every possible way. Please don't be alarmed, but I may even be in love.

Yes, I love walking the south bank and going to borough market! I may add that to a video, thanks for the suggestion.
Somerset House converts to an outside ice rink in the winter . Well worth a visit 👍
Another excellent vid Emily. Thank you for posting it!!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Try out the Anchor pub along the Thames! The interior will bring you back in time.

I love this! I feel like I should make one for LA
There is nobody better at solo travel than Emily

Your presentations are adorable Emily. You should consider doing a book - would be a perfect read on the plane-ride over..! "Emily Does London"..!
I'll be there next week for a gaming tourney so this was great. I'll probably chill at this coffee ☕️ shop
Central and West are some of the most soulless parts of London. I've lived here all my life, and these areas I always avoid unless I have to go there.
Beautful lady 😊❤ bring a rain jacket hate the rain and snow
This was the only useful video i found

3:36 - being judged. 😂
Haha, so true. I understand though!
