It's our first full day in London for our Vidcon trip, and we started things off by giving Andy a tour of the o2, something he's been asking to do since the last time we brought him to London. I then headed over to Vidcon at The Excel for a few hours, before we all met up again as a family to have dinner at The Rainforest Cafe, something we've all been looking forward to since discovering it at Disneyland Paris last year. The trip over to London was Andy's first time ever on the London Underground and with him being such a big fan of trams and buses we thought the tube would be right up his street. Unfortunately it was the busiest I've ever seen it, we ended up getting separated as a group several times and it all went downhill from there, with Amy getting robbed at Piccadilly Circus before Andy had a meltdown while I was on the phone to the police.

ABOUT KEVIN CHAPMAN
I'm a 37 year old TH-camr from the UK. I've got a cracking beard and I'm currently going through the autism diagnosis process. I started this channel back in 2017 and by the time I left my full-time job as a Computer Science teacher in July of that year, my partner Anna was trapped in our house by our son Andy, who is autistic and had refused to go to school for 18 months. Our daughters Lucy and Amy and our dog Dave hardly saw me because I was always working to try and solve all our problems! Today I'm a full-time content creator and always at home when the kids get home from school (all our kids!) and Anna has been able to return to university. This channel is the story of my ongoing journey! Previously known as lollujo Vlogs and The Chapman Family.

andy is so grown up, lucy and amy are such good and protective sisters to him
My sympathies for Amy being robbed, some people know have no respect, hope she's okay and that it didn't completely ruin your trip to London as it is a wonderful city most of the time.
It didn’t ruin the trip - we had a great time on Sunday.
@@kevinchapmanvlog Glad to hear it.

I felt like jumping and grabbing Andy by his shirt every time he stepped closer to the rails. I liked tube in London because it was straightforward, but the people and rails and how fast the trains go. Overload. Then imagining doing it with kids... You did an excellent job.
I have anxiety so getting on the underground is the MOST stressful thing I've ever done - my mother would be having kittens if I didn't make it on the same train as her haha
It’s awful when you come out of a concert and you get stuck in the crowds at the O2. It’s way too stressful for me, gotta go do it in May and I’m not looking forward to it :(
@_idekanymore leave early!
Lauren Carr I’d love too, but my family won’t, I barely got them to leave early at the last concert I went to in Nottingham :/
London can be dangerous during busy times . Try and avoid rush hour . People can easily pick pocket you when there is large crowds . I’m glad Amy is fine 💞
Why you invest in a bumb bag. Got one for gigs and its yhr best thing for central london
aww man everyone looked so stressed at the end and I hate to see you all like that but hey you all held it together and gave it a good try, city life is hectic, hopefully the rest of the trip was great and you get a future oppotunity to try this again free of any issues and stress
Hope Amy is ok. And has done so well with all the sensory stuff. Keep up the good work xx
He said Amy was okay at the end
Ben Willetts I think they just meant that getting robbed is obviously not nice and they send their support and hope that the robber is caught 🙂
the 16:35 mark is one of the reasons I watch this channel. Kevin doesn't film whatever's going on, instead he puts his family first and explains what happened in another episode. I hope everything turned out okay in the end. I'm sorry Amy got her phone stolen and I hope she can replace it.
London looks and sounds a lot like Manhattan. A lot of sounds, a lot of people, and extremely tight subway/tube trains.
can't believe amy was robbed
@freedomisslavery
Do you live in London? I'm not a girl but I've lived and worked in South London all my life and never seen or experienced proper crime... London is very friendly, really! All major cities have bad eggs and Piccadilly Circus is very overwhelming and crowded most of the time!!
@@DTRT3026 there's tons of crimes. We deal with moped thefts alot. Smash and grabs. Daylight robberies and alot of stabbings
@@digitalclock yes and no, the moped gangs are very real, the sad thing is tourists are often targets, I genuinely haven't seen smash and grabs for a few years, during the riots about ten years ago there was a lot, generally stabbings aren't random and are gang related, or muggings gone wrong. As major cities go London has a low violent crime rate, especially compared to what it was like in the 90s. pickpockets are everywhere though, especially in the evenings, got to be wary of people around you or people bumping into you. Amy was very unlucky to have spent so little time there and be the victim of a teef...
Charlie B. Batcheler trust me it’s not I don’t live ther but I’ve Been there and seen shit I didn’t want to see ...
@@DTRT3026 south london is the most crime filled place is London, and I live in south London
you and your whole family cope with the unexpected so very well. Hugs to Amy
I think the reason Andy likes the O2 so much is because it's a huge building with strange infrastructure and a big dome thing plus like you said it's got his favourite logos and brands.
I love Andy's reaction and I hope he calms down and I hope you get to eat at the rain forest cafe and you all enjoy it.
I struggle in the tube when its busy like that too and i also struggle with heightened senses and anxiety so I can only sympathise with Andy and empathise that he struggles to express that. you can tell he was overwhelmed but seemed to handle it like a champ. Hope Amy is ok. Gutted you didn't make it to Rainforest cafe, again!! But as long as Amy is ok x
So lovely watching Amy and Lucy interact with Andy. Such lovely siblings! Owen seems like such a darling too ☺️
you really missed out on some crazy good clickbait in this one !! Jokes aside I hope Amy is okay and that you all still managed to enjoy the rest of your trip
Expect the clickbait tomorrow!

@@hollyreay02 How did you know?
@@jamieenglishthfc1863 twitter
@@imaginaryenemy2565 Thank you. I follow Kev and couldn't find a tweet that said about that
That looked like rush hour! No one likes rush hour... The lights at picadilly have gotten brighter and brighter in the last few years, I know neurotypical people that find it overwhelming!! Best wishes to Amy hope she's insured!
TH-cam has started playing these 3-4 minute music video ads. I watch as this is my way of paying for these videos. And I think it keeps giving me more because I watch them. Now I know quite a lot of French and Turkish? music :)😂
I struggle with the underground. I use it everytime I go to London but struggle when it gets busy.
That day certainly had its ups and downs, i hope the rest of your trip went better
loving the editing style kev! so sorry to hear about amy bless her:( glad you all had an incredible time though!! x
Sorry to hear that Amy hope you are ok
I quite like the feel of the O2, it’s calm, half quiet but is just like the mall. Possibly the reason Andy likes it but I don’t know 🤔
AgReEd
I love the London Underground I find it really relaxing x
A trip going so well, only been watching the channel for a short while but seeing it and how happy he was at the O2 was really nice to see. Such a shame its spoiled by some scrotum. I hope everyone is ok and it didn't spoil the trip too much.
6:50 is my time 🤣
Edward Himsworth
Lol
I think it was extra busy on the tube because of the bakerloo line strike. Can't wait for tomorrow's vlog.
11:32 you can see me with the white jacket and the brown long hair 😂😂
Your face when you see Kevin 😂😂
Can’t believe that Amy just got robbed and well done Andy for going on the underground
That’s the exact place my friends were robbed. It’s horrid. Sorry you had to experience that!
They said in the restaurant that it happens there all the time.
Probably the same gang of people doing it in that area aswell
Omg! Thats crazy! What was stolen??? Sending love to amy ❤️
We explain properly what happened in the video that’s coming out tomorrow
Kevin Chapman 💓 ill be watching 5pm! X
Omg she was robbed....bloody disgusting hope your all ok
My mother moved me and my brother away from London when I was 6 and I’m so glad she did
If you want a quiet station then go on the central line to Roding Valley
Mr McGinniesta archway ain’t to bad on northern...
We don’t need anything super busy, I think we just hit some bad luck on Saturday. We did pretty much the same trip the next day and it was much quieter.
Kevin Chapman yeah it’s always busy on weekends :( hope Andy is enjoying himself in London!
Sucks that Amy was robbed, but I was relieved that Andy didn’t have a meltdown! He did so well for so much stimulation!
3 years ago me and my girlfriend made a bucket list to travel to every European Capital. (22 done so far) Out all cities we have been too 95% have been utterly incredible. The one we both hated - London. For me at least the most overrated city in the world, everything went wrong for us. I'm sorry this happened to you, but try not to let it dampen the rest of the trip. All the best.
I love London. Definitely plan to move there before I’m too old to enjoy it. But then I don’t have loads of other capitals to compare it to, I’ve only been to Paris, Barcelona and Brussels.
I only went the tube one and it was good it has nice grefeetee sometime
Well done Andy. I can’t stand the tube and I’m 20. You’re doing great
Poor amy. just hope nothing of value was taken. Was in London with my daughter just a few weeks back and took her to Piccadilly Circus. Thankfully our experience was a good one. Glad Amy is ok though.
I’m sorry to her about Amy getting robbed....
I mean it is London😂
I thought Andy had a meltdown due to the sensory overload
@@flan_fan1234 he had a meltdown because of Amy's phone being knicked.
I'm presumed a sudden change of events like not eating where they said they will put him on edge
@@hollyreay02 ahh. And you dont need the k in knicked it's just nicked
I don't do well in crowds, too busy for me!! I am so sorry Amy, that is rotten, I hope you are okay!!
Glad you guys had fun. Well, until Amy was robbed. I am glad she is OK! Andy was a trooper going through the Tube like that. Well done!
I really hope Amy is okay. You say she is okay but that must of been awful for her and still a bit scary. I really hope this will not effect her going out on her own or going around london again.
I highly recommend noise cancelling headphones or ear defenders to reduce stress, even if noise isn't a big problem, it does reduce long term stress which will just fill up and become too much. I'm autistic and I find them very calming. My family have commented on how I change when I put them on, I look generally more relaxed, my breathing is really steady and all the tension just goes. So just try them out to see how it goes because it could really be worth it.
So close to 100k! Grats
I hope you enjoyed your time in London
Better watch the tube 😂😂 main office buildings in london and people where able to leave through the tube
Yip - I remember visiting London and being robbed years ago. Sounds like nothing has changed. Keep your belongings and bags to the front of you - not on your back . Don’t keep things in back pockets or put anything down for even a second.
I love you guys I’m your biggest fans
Ooh nooo I hope Amy if ok
Hope shes ok xx
How dare they do that to Amy.. or anyone else!
I really hope they get caught and punished..
hope she is ok.. ☹️
Realistically they’re very unlikely to be caught unfortunately
Omg I actually work at that Skechers store in the O2. Im not sure what time you went or if I was working that day but I had known you guys were coming I would have let you use my staff discount.
I remember my first time on the underground
I didn’t cope with it at first but as they told me what it was
I’m fine with it
WTF can't believe some scumbag robbed amy did she get her stuff returned. I saw young andy was on the verge of a meltdown hope he was ok looking forward to tomorrow's vlog to see what happens
Well now I HAVE to watch tomorrow’s video
Hi Kevin, I think Andy would have LOVED to visit and ride the Docklands Light Railway and explored it's extensive network and trains. It should be not as busy and crowded as the London Underground.
Best wishes and take care. Kind regards, Peter Skuce, St Albans. Hertfordshire.
We went on the DLR on Sunday - it’ll be in the video that comes out on Friday
@@kevinchapmanvlog Thank you :-)
The DLR is probably the best public transport rail network to introduce Andy to London's extensive transport network.
I bet he liked the fact that it is mostly automated and controlled by computers! :-)
You're brave going on underground with the covid-19 lurking bro 👍
Sorry Amy that you got robbed but.. Welcome to London 😂
Hi I’m early I love your channel I have high functioning autism and I love dogssss x chapman family for life like if u agree : )
That's a shame about amy getting robbed x
Great vlog but obviously not great what happened to Amy glad she is OK though 👍 . Andy did so well on the tube I would absolutely hate this environment as I don't cope well with crouded places. I'm currently doing a college course on principles of working with people with learning disabilities. There is a unit on autism and upon reading a lot today I could actually see some of the traits in myself. Not to the extent that I believe I'm autistic but it was very interesting to read and learn more about autism.
I went to VidCon last weekend!
hi Kevin did Andy get a tube map for his time in London
No, we kept meaning to pick one up but they’re not as obvious in the stations these days now everyone has a phone
Hi Kevin hope Andys doing okay 💙
What a sad end to a great video!
Poor Amy! What a horrible thing to have happened and to such a young person at that! After the struggle with the tubes and keeping the family together what a disappointment. Scary too! Andy seemed to be handling the excitement of Piccadilly Square better than you Kevin. I am so happy that you’re taking the time to help Andy out of his world. Sometimes we get used to our surroundings and forget there’s a world outside our comfort zone.
Andy loved it all! He’s already asking to go back!
Kevin Chapman I love that for Andy. He’s maturing, it’s obvious, and he’s come so far from the early days of your vlog. To see him conquer the chaos around him today, taking everything in stride, for the most part and asking to return! Kudos to you and Anna, for putting in the hard work. My favorite Andy things: walking into a church and telling you to be quiet, being able to order his own meal at McDonald’s, the way he does interact with his sisters, and him saying good job after you’ve done the close out. That one always makes me smile. Especially that you always acknowledge him with a thank you. Thank you for sharing your life and family with us.
@@kevinchapmanvlog That's excellent news. Hope him seeing the planes taking off has semi primed him for the possibility of flying at some point.
On the plus sides amy got a new phone with newer battery and everything else
As compared to a used phone
Thats an emding and a half... hope Amy's ok
hi kevin did u meet daz black at vidcon also i wish i could come to vicon to see u but i live overseas so i could not
99 k coommmmeeee onnnnnnn
Andy has got a quality pair of Adidas shoes on
This wasn’t the best idea
Oooh rush hour isn't fun... shame about the cabe cars those are pretty cool. I always thought they were quite pricey tho
Ok wait a minute. I’ve been to the O2 20 plus times and never seen the shops. Were are they?
Turn left on the way in rather than right towards the restaurants. There’s a big sparkly staircase and they’re up there. It’s new I think - I noticed it for the first time last year
I’m from London.
Why did you not bring andy sunflower lanyard
That’s a very good question! Honest answer is we completely forgot it existed!
Is Amy okay
Damn she got robbed. Atleast keep your belongings hidden when travelling in London. Patrolling every inch isn't easy
Bloody hate London. Your vlog gave me anxiety! Amy hope you’re okay beautiful xx
Need undercover police in that area
Oh No. I am really Sorry what happened to Amy. London is just the most *Evil* City in the Western World right Now. Crime is just out of Control down there :(
I am just beyond relieved that Amy is OK and wasn't affected too badly by such a Horrid Experience, that is a Terrible thing to Happen to someone so Young. She is one *Very* brave Young Lady and I admire How Gutsy She is to hold it Together so well after something like that!
I am surprised that You didn't just Pack Your Bags and Head Straight Home that Night however , because I know for a Fact I would have in Your Situation.... You are an awful lot Calmer than I am, Good thing though given, as You said to another User, that You had an absolute Blast on the Sunday.
I am afraid I wont be leaving My Usual "Mega Comment" this Vlog however, and I may not comment at all Tommorow given it will Open with what Happened to Amy, as the sheer Rage I am feeling at the Injustice Your Family has Suffered due to London's Rapid Decent into, at least In My Opinion, a Full blown *Warzone* , means I am on the Verge of a Meltdown and am Literally unable to keep a Civil Tongue in My Head, and I know the Last thing You want in Your Comments is a Full On Right Wing Rant, so I am going to keep Shtum :(
So, I am just going to say Goodbye for Now, and that I am glad that You somehow still managed to enjoy the rest of the Trip.. Stay Safe out there!
Hi Kev
Yout icon is mint lad UTC
Is Andy aware that 90 k people see him weekly
He’s aware he’s on TH-cam. The actual viewer number is too abstract a concept.
Nice
