    I have lived in London for 18 years so have never really seen London through the eyes of a tourist. That's about to change! In this vlog, we show you how we would spend 5 days in London as a tourist to get the most out of this amazing city.

    • @SuitcaseMonkey
      @SuitcaseMonkey  5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Hi there. I don’t, no. I have been once. To be honest I think it’s best visited when it can be combined with something else or it’s on the way to somewhere. Just on its own, I found it not worth the time to get there and back. It is incredible in terms of the mystery that surrounds it and how they got there, etc but I didn’t necessarily need to see them to understand that. Anything else let me know.

      Hi there. Thank you for your comment. Hmm. I see this video as being from a local perspective as that’s the whole point of this video. What else would you like to see? I am doing a part two at some point for London going over a list of things I didn’t cover in this video so keep an eye out for that. Thanks again

      heyy, really? a second part of your video by time will be great. I'm also really happy that you are answering me :-)
      I have visited all places in your video, up to about two places.
      Firstly I visited this beautiful multiculture city we did the normal touristic sightseeing (London Eye, Madame Tussauds, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Trafalgar Square and so on.
      Other parts i have also seen are Notting Hill, Tate Modern, Brick Lane, Hyde Park, Harrods (architecture in-/and outside), ... I'm interessted in architecture, arts, photography and cosy places. Thanks in advance :-)

    I wish more travel vloggers used this style, where it seems more like a proper, legit travel show than some bro in London with obnoxiously loud background music very much in the foreground and overtaking half the things they say, claiming it's a guide but half the video is about some personal event nobody really clicked for, 90% of the video is their face as they walk down the road, etc. Saying that, this is the first video of yours I've watched, I'm taking a big gamble saying this, the rest of your videos may well be like that haha. But either way, I wanted to commend you for this video's length, depth, quality in editing, writing, and shooting, and for actually giving us good and useful information! It's very clear that a lot of work went into it and that you love doing this, so cheers!

    This is a very good guide, and I say this as a Londoner. There's nothing more frustrating than watching vloggers who come and have a mediocre time here because they only do the main tourist sites. This video is a really good middle ground between the obvious tourist sites and the unexpected.

    I'm not a film expert, so I can't articulate why I love your video so much. Somehow your footage gave me a better glimpse of what London actually looks and feels like, especially some shots of the London skyline. Most travel videos show London from the center but with your footage I actually get some vistas of London from different angles. There is a real spatial awareness in your footage somehow. Thanks!

      Yes, not particularly great footage but to be expected when just using an iPhone. And for me that's a bonus, bcos I only take my smart phone (instead of my old, and huge, slr) travelling, so this is more realistic.
      And this is what I'm liking most about this video so far, how practical it is. Personally I could do with even more focus on the tips and less on the production, but this is probably the most balanced I've seen (in many years of watching travel videos for research)

    • @SuitcaseMonkey
      @SuitcaseMonkey  10 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    Excellent guide. Brought back many happy memories. Difficult to cover every aspect of London but you did a terrific job. If you have children or are elderly or have limited mobility worth mentioning that there are many quiet havens all over London - Postman's Park, Battersea Park, Hampstead Heath. Chelsea, Notting Hill, Kew, Regent's Park are also pleasant places. While shopping and eating are great activities it's worth remembering that London is a huge collection of villages and open spaces. Something for everyone. (Born in London and lived here most of my seventy odd years)

    I have been living in London for over 30 years, it is easy to become dismissive of the place and all its problems. But it is actually an epic city! so beautiful. And Greenwich is possibly my favourite place in London, it's London's 'seaside' resort, other than Brighton.

    Going to london in July 2022 with my parents, my aunt and my cousin. Getting so hyped, there is so many things in this video that have a, given me yet another thing to add my never ending list of places to go in London and b, made me even more excited to go this beautiful city. Places I had never heard of like Neal's Yard, St Katherines Docks, and Blackheath Village, have all been added on to my list of things I need to see. This video is incredibly well researched and formatted, with the flow of the video making a lot of sense. Having the days/areas divided was very logically set out, and made where everything was a lot easier to understand. In particular I really want to check out Greenwich so I can go back home and tell my geography teacher that I have stood on Prime Meridian.

I didn't get to the Statue of Liberty until I took my sons. Never have been to the Empire State or Chrysler buildings. We take these sites for granted as a resident. We have 4 days visiting London in October and will make the most of it. Thanks for the enlightening tour.

    We appreciate your viewpoints on London! We did recently very much enjoy Borough Market! Man, the food and pastries were off the chain! Doughnuts, Brulee doughnuts, ginger bread, croissants (who knew there was a rival to Paris boulangeries!) Thanks for your always informative and often amusing vlogs.

    Hi I too am a Londoner but live in Perth Western Australia now. I left London in 2005 so you have given me such a fascinating insight into being a tourist in my old backyard and stomping ground . Thanks 🤗 (I don’t have a picture in front of Buckingham Palace),! 😫

    Having been a frequent visitor to London over the past 30 years I have seen/ used many videos on TH-cam to help plan our visits. I can't think of any better than this one. Not only is the video of excellent quality it is also highly informative. I couldn't agree more with much of the content and would highly recommend many of the suggestions from personal experience. My wife and I are visiting again in a few weeks and now have a few new things to check out. Highly recommended!

      WOW! That really is a weight off my mind. I felt lots of pressure making this, since it is my hometown and therefore I should know it well. And better than the normal travel vlogs I do in foreign countries. It makes me happy that someone like yourself found it useful and agreeable. Thank you so much for letting me know.

    Lovely video! I live in Canada (born in Scotland) and go back to the UK every Christmas. After seeing my Scottish home town and a few rellies, I go to London for a week. London is such an amazing host! She really has something for everyone. I like museums and plays, others like the pub crawls and kitschy shops, I love just strolling and seeing things. I just got to the square mile last year for the first time because (some things you missed) I wanted to see The Mithraem, Guildford Ampitheatre and St Mary Le Bow's. Another thing about last minute theatre tickets, apps are great and everything but I love going to the little kiosks and just saying "I have tomorrow afternoon free..." and he knows what he has tickets for. Still haven't seen Play About A Bank Robbery. Always mean to. See you in December!

    I really enjoyed watching this video , entertaining and informative at the same time Nice to see a lot of my favourite spots like Sky Garden .Going back to London for 6 days in 2 weeks from now. Pretty much done with the sightseeing years ago , so now it’s all about enjoying the city and exploring new areas.

  • @marycahill546
    @marycahill546 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Museum of London is vastly under-rated. I loved it for an in-depth history of the city. Also, it is near St. Paul's to visit both. Hampstead Heath is a lovely park if a picnic is in mind. Kid friendly London Zoo is there. You can combine history, architecture, fine art, and beautiful gardens at Kenwood House at the north end of Hampstead Heath (Golders Green area) -- free admission, and picnicking allowed.

    I love your videos! I was in London only for a few days around Christmas time and fell in love with the city. We stayed at Dorsett City London hotel, loved it and the rooftop bar :) A plus is it is right next to the underground. We walked a lot, got to know the underground and took hop on/off buses. We ended up getting off the bus to look around the palace right before the Changing of the Guards, very cool accident ;) The Sky Garden is a must see! As soon as they released tickets for that week I got tickets during sunset to see day and night views. Gorgeous! And I also went to afternoon tea at Marriott Grosvenor House and it was AMAZING! ALL CAPS AMAZING! I have to go back for at least a week, I am so enamored of your city, and I need to all of these places in your videos :)
