As a Brit, can I correct you. The currency of the UK is the Pound Sterling. It is not the Great British Pound. Yes, I know that some comparative lists of world currencies refer to GBP, but I promise you that no British person refers to the currency as Great British Pounds. I understand why non-British people might believe, from seeing the letters GBP on international currency lists, that Great British Pounds is the formal name of the currency. It isn't. You would be laughed at for calling it that. Just say Pounds.
With reference to the plugs/sockets, i think it should be mentioned that the voltage in England is 230/240 volts, so do make sure if you come with a charger that it will take a higher input voltage. or you could end up with a melted blob of metal and plastic!
And a melted hotel-which might be a bit awkward..
I'm binge watching your London videos and they are so good! Thank you for the valuable tips. I'll be traveling to London this summer (and also traveling solo for the first time) and your channel is being really useful! Thanks ❤️🙏
Very good,by the way,where are you from?
Excellent tips! It's such a beautiful and incredible city, but can be a culture shock! My favourite season is springtime, not too hot, and all the colours are coming out.
Going to London for the first time in May. Literally watching all your videos about London right now. Super useful stuff. Thank you!
I’m going in May as well! No plans to leave though 🙂
@@Zombianca42 Hi Bianca, how has been your experience? Thank you.
Thank you so much, I'm going to visit London in October and this video helped me a lot :)
This video is so informative as someone who’s never been overseas and is planning I definitely took notes and will revisit!
Traveling to London in a month and this video is absolutely fantastic and very informative. Sharing this with the folks I'm going with!
I'm travelling to London in a month how was it?
😲 thank you for the video! I’m going to London on sept/oct. Such an important video and info. Thank you 😘😘
Re: renting a car, when I visited the UK, I rented a car for 2 weeks, but on the days I went into London, I stayed at a motel outside the city, and I parked at the outskirts and took the tube into the city. It was well worth not having to drive or pay for accommodation in London.
Great solution! A car is definitely useful in the rest of the country ☺️
@@girlvsglobe can I borrow your car
@@marveen6372 lol
Motel😂😂😂
Nice video , thanks for sharing !
Great Video ❤ very informative thank you !
Thank you for the information , very useful
So glad you found it helpful! ☺️
❤ Thank you so much, I’m traveling to the UK 🇬🇧 this winter. This Video really helps calm my nervousness😅.
A lot of US health plans, like Kaiser, will reimburse emergency medical expenses abroad, but research it before you leave. With Kaiser, for example, you need to get receipts for the local services and/or have the doctor sign a form. Find out what must be done on the spot, it might be impossible to get reimbursed after returning home if you didn’t follow the procedure.
I'm traveling to london in 2 weeks I'm so nervous it's the first time me leaving my hometown and I think London is a good beginning, hope I'll enjoy my visit
I’m brazilian and I landed here by accident, but thank God that happened! You’re amazing and this video helped me a looot! Thank youuu ❤ You got a new fan

Hey,
I recently came across your content and absolutely loved it... (especially the London living expenses video as I could relate to it)
hoping to see you someday in London 😊
Thanks Samarth, so glad you’ve been enjoying my content and hope you stick around ☺️
Really enjoyed your London travel trip ideas. As for your food/restaurant I highly recommend Giuseppe’s Restaurante Italiano. We were there in 2018 & went to Giuseppe’s 3 times. Great food and amazing host.
Great video, i have and overnight lay over flight in london and trying to see how i can take advantage of that. What time does afternoon tea start and finish there? Any recommendations
Lots of useful info! Is discover used widely?
Lol, the background sound hahahah nice vid
I just subscribed I love your bubbly personality.
Aww thanks Gabi, that means a lot!
Hi, love your content, do you mind telling me which app you're using please?
Well it's informative
Forget everything below because the most important thing to remember when you're walking around London ( and also the rest of the UK ) and crossing roads is to ALL WAYS TO LOOK RIGHT before crossing
Nah do something different and look left.
I'm not sure if I should go around with my double stroller . Will I have issues if I get in an Uber without a car seat ? I have a 4 and 5 year old . My 4 year old is short.
The country behind you in the wall is the best country to visit !
Welcome to Morocco 🇲🇦
Hii may you help mee?
I intend to visit london and wish to claim the 2 for 1 deal of the national rail. Is it valid at end of may start of june?
What do i need to do in order to claim itt?
Wow ❤️
To be pedantic it is not the greater British pound, but the pound sterling. Sterling is also used to describe the purity of precious metals. Incidentally the name of the country, Great Britain, is not some Victorian boast about how wonderful the country is, but a contraction of the original name. When the kingdoms of England and Scotland joined together, the new country was called Greater Britain.
For transportation the best way is to download the app for that. I used a lot in my trips and helped a lot. that is a good tip. Do you know the name? I forgot it.
Hello everybody. Is there any ways to travel to London and learn English at the same time? It would be better if I could speak English fluently, I know. But I really want to expand my vocabulary and have an experience of speaking and so on. And also is it a real problem if I have a terrible accent?
Do you have any recommendations on the best way to get from London (Waterloo area) to Southampton? We're going with a group and was thinking about renting a shuttle or something, but it seems like maybe the train is better? Can't really get concrete advice though.
The train is the best option and the cheapest. It is also the best, safest, cheapest and fastest way to travel anywhere in London a in the UK. There are fast trains from Waterloo to Southampton. Check the information board at the station for train times and number of stops
I’ll be leaving in April for my bday!
Interesting video! Would love for you to do one on egypt since i really wanna visit this summer🇪🇬
Ohh lovely! I don’t currently have the expertise to make that video but if I end up travelling around Egypt extensively I’d definitely consider making one ☺️
@@girlvsglobe thank you! 💯
When you're in Egypt and a vendor approaches and start giving you free stuff, don't take it.
@ okayy, thanks for the heads up !
Beautyful
love that morocco pic behind...my home
Great video, thank you!
Does anybody know, if I got an Oyster Card, do I need a Hop-on-Hop-off bus to get to all the important sightseeings? Because you mentioned the 24 line of the bus, is it necessary to buy a Hop-on-Hop-off then? :)
Thanks so much Jasi! The 24 line is a regular bus service not a sightseeing one - so you can just pay for it using a contactless debit card or an Oyster card 😊
@@girlvsglobe thank you! But I mean do you think I need a Hop-on-Hop-off as well or can I see all the important spots by "normal" bus? :)
@@jasie4735 also don’t be afraid to walk. You can walk from Big Ben to Trafalgar Sq to China Town to Soho and Leicester Sq in no time. Don’t waste your time and money standing at bus stops or on the tube.
Didn't expect to see wise lol is my best friend
Pretty presentation..
Thanks :)
Is don't know to so
If work in live? ?
woah i like the morocco poster cause im from there
Do you have a video on restaurants in London? I thought maybe breakdown by category; pizza, Thai, burgers, Indian, pubs; fish and chips, Sunday Roast, Chinese, Mexican, etc. thanks!
is all the buses able to take contactless payment like in the tube? I'm just thinking apple watch all the way in London... someone let me know please
Contactless is used on all buses all over the UK - not sure about Apple Pay though
@@lemming9984 apple pay works everywhere. aboveground. underground… i was having hard time using cash. lol. and don’t ever use taxi or uber. Bolt only !
Do you need cash at the markets; Camden, Borough, etc. Thanks!
Not the big touristy markets like Camden, Borough etc. Normal street markets like East Street, Ridley Road etc, most likely yes.
@@adrianpritchard7391 thanks so much!
Nice london
Love this city ☺️
Working
Can you use a contactless CREDIT card for public transport? I think you said debt card but are either okay?
Yes, you can use any credit card that has contactless capability. A contactless card will have a little symbol next to the chip that looks like emanating radio waves.
Green zone charge is £15 now.
Hi ! :)
Love u
Looking very beautiful..
Hello Dublin London welcome to earth
Have you ever visited the Great Fire Monument?
Can I get a tuna melt in London.
I am going to London in June. Can I just use my credit card on the bus etc or do I have to get an Oyster card?
Any contactless card should work ☺️
@@girlvsglobe overseas credit card or debit card also?
@@girlvsglobe planning to visit London in 4 weeks time for 5 days?
@@girlvsglobe 5 days London pass + travel card, is it a good idea for short time (overseas) visitors or is there more economic way for sightseeing in London? Please reply 😉
Did you have a good 🌃 ⏲️
This is a great, accurate and informative video. One of the best I’ve seen for London….but….British food is beige? 😂😂 Weatherspoons is an awful (granted cheap) place to eat so please do avoid it. I would never eat there so please don’t judge British food on the worst example! Great video though
Worth noting that UK pints are larger that US pints. Also Don't tip in a pub.
TH-cam after I came back from London: „Here’s 10 different videos on what to do before you visit London!“
One point its not the great British pound its a Pound Stirling
Regarding your comment about taxis being expensive!
Have you considered the reason?
We HAVE to drive a purpose built wheelchair accessible vehicle that cost £70,000 !!
We also have to spend at least 4 years doing the knowledge, without pay !
I just don’t understand how people in London can spend £12 for a bottle of beer without a care and then begrudge spending £20 for a safe professional drive home ?
I think you should have also mentioned that Uber ect are sometimes MORE expensive when they are surging!!
cos public transport is so much cheaper and better
Disagree on your seasonal comments. January and February can be horrendous weather wise. April and May are good, the latter before the school holidays and the longer days. June can be lovely.
London taxis are sometimes cheaper than Uber (who the police and mayor want to ban)
Sadiq claimed he wanted to ban Uber-and then sold them the rights to the Thames Cruisers!
Traveling to London in August… should I let my money in my bank account or is it safer to have 200£ In the pocket?
hey i m from india dear
It's proper name is Pound Sterling
Pound Sterling Silver

Im from UK why did I get this on my home page hmmmm....
Same. I’m a Londoner. Interesting vid though to see the place from another perspective.
I think you might misunderstand between halal food and Indian food
Wetherspoons does not serve good food. Is that where you found bland and beige food?
🇬🇧🌈
ubers are more expensive than black taxis now.
Namaste 🙏
No
This is a really great video! Loved the shots and looks like an interesting place to visit! I love travelling; recently started vlogging as well and would be great if you check it out and let me know what you think. Can’t wait to see your future videos ;)
what r u on about no one tips here, there is no tipping culture here
Beautyfuly Women 👍👍
Please visit pakistan
Not safe for a woman on her own.
Love from Adeel Karachi Pakistan
Sending hugs from London! 🇬🇧
Please don’t go to Wetherspoons it’s cheap and treats staff horribly during lockdown. Find yourself a good English pub, can’t go wrong
JESUS CHRIST ISN'T KING...
THE KING IS JUST A MAN
THAT WOULD NEVER PUT HIMSELF AS A MORE POWERFUL
LIFE THAN GOD AND JESUS CHRIST .
Interesting I have never eaten any beige food in my life.
Plenty of other better towns, Cities, Counties than London and its Environs. London is congested and pricey, go elsewhere in England, simple 😉🙂👍
Because you're beautiful ma'am, you're so cute,you're in love,,,im watching from philipines
British food is SO much better than it used to be and it's great, if you get the right place. There are loads of good places to eat nowadays. The nonsense about British food being terrible is so boring and outdated!!
😂 Please don't go to Wetherspoons, it's genuinely the most awful food you can get here
I live in lewisham in south London I don’t know why anyone would ever want to visit London it would be so boring as a tourist full of hobos, London is only good when u live here
so where in the UK do you most recommend visiting for tourists
@@blueberrypie844 somewhere in Scotland wales or something, London is like New York so overrated by people who haven’t been
@@rc-oh5fc Ok. I guess it depends who you ask, I know someone who lives in London and they wouldn't choose anywhere else on the entire island
@@blueberrypie844 ur friends probs some hobo on their mission to gentrify London
@@blueberrypie844 I live in London. It's awesome to travel to with the right guide. It's one of the most interesting cities in the world. And it's one of the most popular tourist spots for good reason. NYC is great also.
Whats her only fans?
british food is not delicious. It can however be OK. Fries (chips) are good
If your lucky you might spot a white English person in London.
You talk too fast. And don't keep stuff on the screen long enough
You can always pause 😉
