      Love your channel! It is so well filmed, edited, and so perfectly informative. Which is why i have a travel question! Im going to England, primarily London, on my own for 2 weeks in July. Are there restaurants or experiences I should avoid being a solo person? Or are there things i really SHOULD do since I'm only 1 person. Thanks so much!!

    • @SuitcaseMonkey
      @SuitcaseMonkey  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi there. Thanks. Hmm. Nothing specific to avoid. There aren’t any super serious ‘do not go there’ areas in London but all the usual city tips still apply at dark when alone. As for things to do, check out my museum video and I’m doing a good market video next month. Everything else featured on this channel works the same as 1 or 2 people. Enjoy!

    This video is a true gem for anyone looking to explore London beyond the typical tourist attractions! Presented from the perspective of a London local, it unveils a treasure trove of hidden gems and lesser-known hotspots that add a unique charm to the city's vibrant tapestry.
    From quaint neighborhoods to tucked-away cafes and secret gardens, each recommendation offers a glimpse into the authentic essence of London that often goes unnoticed by visitors. As someone who appreciates exploring destinations like a local, I found this video to be incredibly insightful and inspiring.
    It's evident that the creator's passion for their city shines through as they share these London secrets with viewers. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler looking to delve deeper into London's local culture, this video serves as a valuable guide for discovering the city's hidden treasures. Don't miss out on these gems during your London adventures! 🇬🇧✨

    I visited London last month for the BTS concert lol unfortunately my dumb friend planned our trip way too tight so we didn't get to see anything of the city which is why I just booked a second trip in December. I love this city, it'll be my third time there but this time I want to make sure to make the most out of it and this video is a gem and exactly what I was looking for! I've also seen your other London tour guide videos but I was searching for not so touristy places where you can enjoy that typical London vibe, the architecture and views. you really nailed it with this video, thank you for the great tips!
