Another great vlog! Seriously, wish I could hire you two to be the guide for our trip in 2024! You are fun and informative, and this was one of the very best "places to eat" vlogs I've watched! One of my favorite parts of travel is definitely finding the best local food options, and I agree with you and try to 'make every meal count'. So glad you mentioned the locations for the Cabmen's Shelters! I was wanting to find one, so this was very helpful.
Enjoy! Food videos can be hard if they feature one place. We like the idea of local meals and food experiences. Makes travel more rewarding!
Alot of travel vids are rubbish but ur stuff is balanced & valuable. Well done 🧔🏻👍🏻
Thanks! We appreciate that review
coming to London tomorrow, and don't want to miss on all the food available there! Your video was one of the most helpful ones, thank you!
I’m glad we could help! Have a great trip!!
Pleasant video to watch. Thanks 👍
Thank you!! I had never heard of a few of those!!
Thanks for the tips!
Grat advice, and I enjoy the presentation.
Thank you for subscribing too! That helps us out.
This is super helpful! Read there is an option for afternoon tea at the palace too!
If you’re referring to Buckingham Palace, as a Londoner, I wouldn’t recommend. Usually overcrowded no table service and a bit ordinary. There are literally dozens of much better options.
Im Northern English, Not Ventured South For a Few years Now , I always go North now York for example. But found your video very informative and Fun .Great variation of Foods and venues .Well done ✔️
Thanks so much. That means a lot. Enjoy your overdue trip to the South.
@YourGuidesAbroad Nah Mate always North for me .For the Prices for one thing .My kids are grown. Only went to show them the Museums and historical Heritage. But still Great video .
Yay!! Can’t wait :)
have a wonderful trip! Thanks for watching!
You should add that afternoon tea at the Ritz will set you back £150 ($190) for two (or more.) You can find it less expensive, but no matter where you get it, it will be expensive for what it is. However if you should find yourself in the West Country (Somerset or Cornwall) a cream tea is a must.
If you want to experience afternoon tea in great surroundings try the Wolseley directly opposite the Ritz. Beautiful cafe/restaurant and the cost is considerably less than its famous neighbour 😁
Some good shouts especially Brick Lane.
I actually disagree about Brick Lane. Tried many restaurants there over the years and tbh it's totally average. The prices are reasonable for London, but the food is pretty much interchangeable between the restaurants, and nothing that you can't get in any other Indian restaurant across the UK. I have a feeling that the chefs just move around from one restaurant to the other. The restaurants that tend to get the highest ratings in Brick Lane are usually the ones that aren't doing Indian, but Thai or something like that, and even those are pretty average.
You should try a resurant called The India, its one of three they have in the City. Its just by Cannon Street. Really nice
Thanks for sharing the tip! Always looking for good and authentic Indian restaurants.
I need a dedicated with kids/toddler video for London ha. I saw some have playgrounds but are a bit out of the way.
oh wow i used to watch a lot of your videos on hawaii when i was thinking of going and now i'm going to london in april so i'd love to follow along!
Thanks for remembering us and I’m glad you found our new channel! Enjoy your trip in April. We are here to help.
I thought you guys looked and sounded familiar.
Going to London in March, just found your channel, lots of helpful info!
You showed Preem restaurant, but didn't mention on the video. Is it good?
I'm glad you found us! Have a wonderful trip and we have more London videos coming out! I haven't had a bad Brick Lane Indian food dinner yet. Give Preem a try!
I really liked Dishoom when I went, and yeah the wait was like two hours, but they got me drunk on free brandy!
haha, that is great that they gave refreshments. Such a smart way to keep people in the line and then spend more when they get inside. They always have a wonderful staff when we visit.
Love your video series! Already downloaded your guide. BTW: the links on your website do not work for me.
Thanks so much for watching our new channel! We are still launching the website, right now it is just the download for the free guide. We will get the website links up and running in January.
Chaiwala is worth checking out.
Thanks for sharing. We will check it out.
Can you recommend an afternoon tea experience that would be good for a solo traveler? I don’t need traditional quirky preferred
Yes! Erica recommends Sketch. It is fancy but a very quirky and modern.
Also, Ivy Asia is is tea with an Asian twist and is only £30
If you are looking for an amazing Vegan restaurant try Amrutha in Earlsfield South London close to Wimbledon. Great food, great service, great value.
Thanks so much for sharing!!
3:38 £32 for afternoon is nuts.
It is hard to get an afternoon tea for less than £40 in London now. Even the museums are higher. Do you know of any?
@@YourGuidesAbroad I could see paying that at a museum, since (i assume) it helps the museum with funding. But I saw 80 pounds at Fortnums!
Good vid - but it’s not Cornish ‘parstie’ it’s “pastie’ with a flat ‘a’ as in ‘has’ or ‘hash’ - I’ve never heard anyone pronounce it the way you did and I’ve lived here my entire life😂
Thanks so much!
It is strange to hear you refer to the Ivy as a chain restaurant. The Ivy opened in 1917, the second restaurant did not open until 2014 so I guess it did become a chain then.
They are lovely restaurants and we like going to them a lot. They are popping up all over the place. Our small-ish town in Surrey got one 5 years ago. I am sure they will maintain their quality!
Most of the things you mentioned I found as blah. You have good attitudes.
Bread, meant, egg, beans, onion and sometimes added with cheese. Which is made into 200 different meals, sums up british food.
With respect, that's ill-informed nonsense.
A lot of the stuff you've shown are in VERY expensive areas of London!!
Thanks for watching. Central London and the neighborhoods we highlight are the popular destination for visitors.
Central London is expensive but if you avoid the tourist rip off hot spots to eat you’ll find good value at many places.
What does hit them up mean ??
Pasty is made from pastry, not bread
Thanks for clarifying!
Typically short crust.
I've seen a few Americans refer to the pasty case as 'bread'. I'm curious as to why really.
@@carolineskipper6976 possibly because we assume pastry (short crust) is sweet, not savory.
@@vickiamundsen2933 Here in the UK both short crust and puff pastry can be either sweet or savoury. I just find it odd, because neither looks like bread.
It’s not bread is pastry !! hence the name
Ok you need to iron your husband’s shirt before you shoot a video. Just saying first thing I noticed.
Have his arms fallen off? He can do that he myself surely?
If it even matters, he could iron his own shirt.
