The architecture alone is worth the trip.
There is no such thing as jaywalking in the UK you can cross the road wherever you like at your own risk.
Haha I respect the British way of doing things. Somehow I knew it would be alright to cross in the street
@@JordanJourneys last year I learnt what Jaywalking was watching a TH-cam video. Here in the UK we just call it walking.
@@JordanJourneys Oh dear, he's lying.
Welcome to the land of the free 😁
Welcome to the UK Jordan. London is full of historical gems. Enjoy
Hope you meet up with Craig and Molly again soon.
Thank you Carol! Oh it didn’t take me long to find them!! I can’t wait to explore more
I live and work in London and I drive around all those places in Central London a lot. I also use the Underground (Tube) a lot and even after all this time, I STILL get a buzz when I walk out of Westminster Station underneath the Big Ben clock tower.
Man how can you not! That area is incredible I was amazed even though I knew what it looked like in a photo it’s just different in person.
i enjoyed this vlog man thanks for the authenticity bro
what a joyful guy to watch = love your enthusiasm, welcome!
Thank you so much! This might be the best comment I’ve ever gotten!
4:50 The long building you can see is Westminster Hall, the oldest surviving part of the Palace of Westminster, it was built in 1097 in the reign of king William II. The timber hammer beam roof, commissioned by king Richard in 1393, measures 68' by 240' is the largest medieval timber roof in northern Europe.
ps: you crossed Tower Bridge.
I'm glad you enjoyed your visit to England and especially my home city of London,i love my city and it is so cosmopolitan which gives it a cool vibe,also when you get out from the main tourist places the prices drop quite a bit so you can find many places that are much cheaper,London has many boroughs and the ones out from the centre are much cheaper than the centre,great vid.God bless buddy❤️👍🏴
Thanks Dan! Yeah I has more time to explore London! Really cool city!
@@JordanJourneys God bless you buddy🙂👍
Just so you know, the bridge you were on is called Tower Bridge. London Bridge is a different Bridge.
There are so many things to do in London for free. Almost all art galleries and museums are free entry. I loved your blog even though you had a bit of an obsession with budgeting money 😉
You walked over Tower bridge not London bridge 🇬🇧
Haha I was getting everything confused, I was just happy to be on any bridge
Prices for most things in the centre of London will be 2, 3 or 4 times higher than if you go somewhere a mile or two further out.
I love you are getting to see England🥰Always wanted to be with you when you finally got back there. Enjoy your exploring. London is a great City one day we will get back there together great video Jordan🤙🥰🤙
Thank you I am having a great time so far!
You should have paid to go into the Tower of London, its the one sight you wont regret seeing.
That was a hot long walk to the Tower.
From your first intersection you could have taken a double decker bus for just £1.75.
And we dont pay 30 dollars for our food.
We can eat like a king for less than £10, but you need to consult with local people - not just walk into the first place you come across where the only people that you'll see eating there are tourists!!!!!!!
Ps- I appreciate the Red Lion shout out!!!
You know I can’t forget about illinois
A great video Jordan, looking forward to seeing more videos of your time here in the UK.
Have a great time😜
🇬🇧💖😃
Thanks James!
A bunch more to come,stay tuned
I've been looking for my long lost BBQ Sauce packet for 13 years.
Hahahaha best comment to date.
The nickname for the bell is big ben 13.5 ton in weight. The tower is Elizabeth tower. And probably even our brothers don't know this fact but. All four nations of the UK are represented on the tower. On the shields on the tower. Featuring a rose for England, thistle for Scotland, shamrock for Ireland, and leek for Wales. And you was on Tower bridge by the tower of London where they keep the crown jewels. Jordan just thought I'd let you know the old London Bridge gateway. In 1300-1660 Traitors/Criminals heads was chopped off dipped in tar and put on a spike on the gateway to the bridge. We sold old London Bridge to USA Arazona.
Good to know that there heads were chopped off in that ver spot
Ha, Americans and the 24 hour clock :)
I still have t changed it, I’m getting better lol
hope you enjoyed your visit and thanks for giving me a bit of a wicked laugh: you're the first vlogger I've ever seen to Completely MISS Trafalgar Square!! I laughed so much as you walked right past the most famous tourist spot in the UK! I guess you didn't know there are special maps (pocket-sized) you can get for free at airports and stations, would have helped you find your way around. You were lucky with the weather! look forward to seeing your other videos. cheers.
Cheers man! Yeah I was pretty oblivious just exploring. More fun that way
Within the first ten seconds or so he`s doing well - it sounded like English to me too and I am English.
Technically it's not Big Ben it's The Elizabeth Tower, Big Ben is the nickname for the bell but most people call the whole thing Big Ben
Ahhh I actually said that in a different take but I thought I was wrong so I didn’t include it haha turns out I was kinda right
@@JordanJourneys They changed the name from Clock Tower to Elizabeth Tower in 2012. Stupid not just officially naming it Big Ben. Westminster is actually a separate City to the City of London. Majority of London is not a City.
Your hair looks nice!
Thank you darling
The bridge is Towe Bridge. The original London Bridge was shipped to Arizona I think
The bridge you refer to is NOT London Bridge - it's TOWER BRIDGE
Are you sure about that?
@@JordanJourneys Err, are you serious??
Yes he is serious it’s tower bridge
A double decker bus is just a bus. Normal fare wherever you are.
Haha I’ve noticed by now. Pretty normal but first day I was it was pretty cool because of how iconic it is
The bell in the clock is Big Ben, it's the houses of parliament
Thanks 😊
Love your enthusiasm bro
Thank you!
I geek out there too.
It’s hard not too, soo cool out there
At 6.57, the building behind you is called 'The Mansion House' and it was at one of those windows that on 30 January 1649, King Charles 1st was beheaded.😃
Oh wow I’ll go back and take a look thanks for the knowledge
@@JordanJourneys I didn’t realise you were still in London…….Embarrassing mistake. It’s actually called the “Banqueting House”, but you can go inside ( I think it’s free) and see an amazing painted ceiling by Flemish artist, Sir Peter Paul Rubens………It’s one of the last thing the king would have seen before the chop. Another thing, if you’re on a budget, remember most museums and galleries are free, so take advantage of them, they’re some of the best in the wold. Enjoy your stay in the greatest city in the world! 😃
Wrong. It was the Banqueting House in Whitehall and it wasn't behind any window but outside.
@@adoculos4521 The more observant might have seen I posted my correction almost immediately 3 months ago…Called Embarrassing mistake.
That's the Houses of Parliament,you didn't cross illegally you just crossed the road
Haha thank goodness!
The houses of parliament, also known as the palace of Westminster.
Ohh I see
I live in London but you've buzzed me up about London haha - enjoy x
Hahaha fun city!
Great video 👍
£12 is a lot for Fish & Chips.
Should have bought a map... old school I know but they still work... £2 beer??? 🙂 Not London Bridge
£2 beer is always an option
@@JordanJourneys sadly not an option in London, double it and add the first figure and you've got a beer
In Plymouth they speak a bit different, and in the surrounding area, quite a lot different.
glad you are enjoying our country, j walking is not against the law here bro
Hahaha I’m glad I didn’t break any major laws on day 1. Yeah England is great man excited to see more!
You are very personable really enjoyed this video
Thanks Paul! Glad you liked it!
enjoyed this vlog, btw you can cross wherever u want- no such thing as 'j walking' over here, and nah you're not cheap- maybe if you go to the coast fish and chips is worth it but not in London. if you want a cheap meal check out Greggs haha
Greggs! I have seen them around, I went to wetherspoons today and had a cheap pint. Yeah good to know, I’ve been crossing a bit more freely lately lol
Wrong
Sigh.🤦 You need to read the rules for pedestrians in the Highway Code, numbers 1-35.
Big Ben is the bell inside the tower.
You don’t say
@@JordanJourneys Pretty sure I did.
Explore Golgumbaz, South India 🇮🇳
If you want to do the cheap way, visit the national museums in London - all completely free !
Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever been to a free museum
Good luck finding food for a fiver in London
Yeah I was hungry that night…
Central London you can definitely get food for under a fiver, likely fast food chain/super markets etc. outside of central London, even more so.
Hey Jordan mate get up to the northwest northeast of England, London isn't England anymore its horrible, up north you have cheap prices, nicest people going and you'll have a belting time I promise ya 🏴
You Alright Ellis, I’ll be up there soon enough, I’ve just done a pretty extensive tour of cornwall and by the end of the September I should have made it up north maybe even to Scotland! Cheers mate! Can’t wait to see northern England
@@JordanJourneys super cool man email me if you fancy it's in my bio I can recommend you all kinds of places in the top half of England aha anything you need I can help. Cornwall is super beautiful got to love it
@@JordanJourneys buying food in central London is expensive. One mile outside the touristy bits and prices drop.
Yeah great tip, I’ve been searching for good deals!
London is lovely, likely the reason why he went there. London is England. Not sure how nice the north is, with ppl like Ellis putting other places down.
London Tower? Where's that? You mean The Tower of London.
I think I meant Tower Bridge lol I was thoroughly confused on day 1
Im a new sub mate- the only vids that are attracting hits are UK vids- keep it up!!!! 7 foot- double down on that mate
Welcome to the club! Made it just in time to be an OG subscriber.
I just knew you would call it London Bridge.
Hahaha i just like every other American. Just trying to fit into my role;)
Tower bridge not London bridge, yes you do have to pay to go inside and upstairs, but you can walk across for free.
Next time I’m there I’ll make sure to go inside
Tower............london
Is there a poor education system in America? How can anybody not know Big Ben ?
If you come over again, make a video beforehand and ill tell you where you can eat each day.
Your 1st location isn't Big Ben, it's the Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben is the bell inside).
Hmmm I’m not sure
@@JordanJourneys Why do you think you know better than British people. They are correct.
I’m British and I’ve always called it Big Ben even though I know it’s the bell. Elizabeth Tower is quite a recent name (2012) called the Clock Tower before
Mate it aint rocket science, if RED light is showing, then dont cross the road, it is easy, i had to close my eyes at one point in the video, i expected you to get splattered all over the road.
haha, I got lucky im going to be crossing roads in vietnam soon ive heard the roads are much busier
@@JordanJourneys
Best of luck with that, I know a few people that have been to Vietnam, and they all made it back home. I hope you enjoy it as much as my friends did.
dude you not got a chance in london to get cheap food
Hahaha, I found that out real quick… I just decided to not eat anything
Did you do any research whatsoever before arriving?
Nope… it’s more fun that way
How can it be more fun to come all this way and not know what you're looking at or where to find things, waste of energy and money.
He confirms all my worst opinions about Americans
America >>> England
Divided by an ocean where they ditch what intelligence they have.
