    I love your London guides, it's so nice to see London filmed like this. It's easy to forget why I love this city when I'm just commuting all the time!

    I loved this, Covent Garden is definitely one of my favourite spots in London but I've had nowhere near enough time to explore it yet! I'd love to see a guide like this on North London/Camden area if you're interested in making one, I'm certain there's more than JUST the markets but the markets kinda take priority anytime someone talks about North London so I wouldn't know!

    • @SamanthaMaria
      @SamanthaMaria  6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      yesss will defo do Camden!

    • @elenamoscone

    LOVE this series so much!! Also the way it's filmed makes it feel so casual I just love it❤️

    @littlevoice_11 6 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I think you should do a hidden treasure/places close to the train stations e.g. Liverpool Street station. It has some amazing shops and things to see just a few of minties away. It's perfect to pass the time whilst waiting for a train.

  • @chiraine1
    @chiraine1 6 ปีที่แล้ว +45

    sammie, question? whatever happened to your office downtown. it was in about 3 videos while you were pregnant with indie and after that it was ever spoken about again?

  • @Cestlamoot
    @Cestlamoot 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    This series is everything! I’m planning a trip to London for next summer and am a bit overwhelmed with it all and these are so helpful!

  • @RPLE4EVER
    @RPLE4EVER 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'd like to see a guide on what to do when it's nice outside in London! Loads of people I know go to Hampstead Heath, but I'd like to see your take on it.

  • @GracelynMariaHair
    @GracelynMariaHair 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Another lovely video Sam! During the video I kept thinking "Oooo I've been right there!" I can't wait to go back to London. Definitely my favorite place to travel to xx

    Keep these London videos coming! My husband and I don’t get to London often, but last time we were wandering aimlessly looking for a breakfast and it was getting desperate. Then we saw Dishoom and remembered it from one of your other videos. We were saved! What a recommendation!

  • @avrilantoinette
    @avrilantoinette 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I’ve lived in London my whole life and probably wouldn’t know about all these hidden little hot spots without this video! Keep it up! xx

  • @georgieclay8067
    @georgieclay8067 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Omg I know London quite well so I didn't really bother watching these little guide videos but I watched the Covent Garden, soho and shorditch guides and they were so great! I did know a few of the places but they are so helpful and so well filmed, you should definitely do more xxxx

  • @wafy09
    @wafy09 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Samantha I love you so much! you are one of the few TH-camrs that I keep watching (since the winged eyeliner video was uploaded), I always look forward to watch your videos. you inspire me to do and discover a lot of things in life because I'm a mom of an 8-month baby boy and trying to juggle between life and work could be hard/frustrating sometimes. I know it's not always sunshine and rainbows in life but that's why we have to keep pushing and do the things we love the most and keep doing them to make us happy. I don't know what I'm saying English is not my first language, so please pardon me. -your subscriber from K.S.A.

    @giulianeda 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I am really surprised you talked for a minute about Neal's Yard showing all the shops but not showing the most important (and popular and Instagrammable) things, the super colorful pastel walls with small Buddha's statues and butterflies and all! That spot is a gem, and from the video looks like every second road on Covent Garden...
    I went to Timberyard Coffee, had an amazing coffee and the most delicious brownie (qith who peanuts on the top) I ever had in my life!
    I love all your London guide's videos and the production is always stunning!

How long would you recommend spending in Covent Garden exploring these quieter spots as well as the main touristy hot spot? and on which day of the week would the experience be best? Any recommendation, Samantha? or from any other Londoners watching this vid would be greatly appreciated! :)
