My last visit, I paid almost NOTHING for entertainment. Go to South Kensington and hit the museums. Natural History, Science, and the V&A all right next door to each other, and all free. I spent 2 days just at the V&A alone. Head over to Trafalgar and take in the National Portrait gallery, then pop up to the British Museum, and down to Lambeth to see the Imperial War Museum. Also contact the Free Tours by Foot people (especially Sinead). All kinds of free walking tours all over the city. Jack The Ripper, Christmas Lights, historic sights, etc.. The only tourist attraction I paid for was the Tower (TOTALLY worth it, as long as you make sure to get in on a tour with one of the Beefeaters. Those guys are AMAZING!)
Mate London genuinely has the best things to do for free, you can spend absolutely nothing and have an incredible time
GUYS I’M SO CLOSE TO 50K!!! LET’S HIT IT BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY IN 11 DAYS 😁❤️😁❤️😁❤️

Legend mate
Absolute massive love to you mate ❤️
Great vid Charlie coming to London next weekend first time ever! Gave me some great tips!
Big up brother! 😁
I had a mate who worked for the local council - One of the biggest issue with the peanut and hot dog vendors is the treatment of naive tourists - they might say a fiver but assure a tourist that a fifty is a fiver or take a 20 and give them a five quid in change, mugging off the tourists, some if they can, will muscle into a wallet and take as much as possible. They also act as lookouts for the pickpockets and cups n balls scammers.
One day im definately gonna bump into you on the streets of london!- you always go where I went the day before
hahahahah love it, one day mate ;)
You should have said welcome to london …. knife crime , Scammers and over priced retail ….

My brother and i traveled to London from the States for the first time this week. We watched all of your videos at our hotel room the first night we got here. You really helped us out with finding the cheap eats! Thanks!
Absolutely love that! Enjoy your trip 😄😄😄
Im saving up to afford my London trip, watching all your content in preparation and anticipation.
Thank you for sharing your experience!
Love it! Enjoy your trip mate 😄
you dont need to save you can go for free lol. plenty of free things to do here
Right! But I still need a flight and a place to sleep :D
I've lived in London my whole life but I rarely leave the house ..😅My friends from the USA are coming to visit and they asked me to show them around so this video is actually very helpful.
LMAO! @ The ending 🤣
hahaha love it!!! legend
Pleasure following you mate. Don't forget your fans when you become huge on YT! =)
Mate big respect honestly 👊🏼
Hey Charlie I really enjoy watching your content going to amazing cheap affordable eats.
I hope you can do contents on visiting free or cheap entertainment tourist attractions and museums in London
Thank you man! Maybe I will soon 👀
Don't eat the peanuts, or hotdogs !! I used to work for a friend selling their silver jewellery on the Southbank and have seen first hand what those illegal food cart traders get up to concerning, ummm, "food prep" 🤮 nuts mixed in the coating on a sheet of plastic on the pavement, anyone? Same goes for prepping onions and buns for hotdogs. So nasty.
This channel is brilliant. The guy is literally a ball of fizzing, mad, crazy energy!
Mate big up for real 👊🏼👊🏼
@@CharlieVlogsI have never seen a channel with so much energy!
This guy is just pure vibes 😂
Legend mate 👊🏼
mate that oxo place is a secret gem! class video too :)

I think i found u Charlie my soul mate who loves to save the pennies just like me.
Top man 🇵🇸🇵🇸

Big love man!!! COYG 😁❤️
Hope you get a lot more than 50k followers before your birthday. Btw, we went and had those fairground style donuts you had recommended in one of your earlier videos. They were absolutely delicious!!!
Glad you liked em! I've been getting them for years
£3.50 for a single cone without a flake or sprinkles? How are these guys still in business?
I nearly fainted
Nice video charles dropped a like
Shout out to you my guy 😁❤️👊🏼
Charlie thanks for telling us about this view point. I did the Sky Garden which is free and amazing 🤩 but you have to book it. Waiting list as well.
Yeh usually 1-2 months 😭
Everything but the girl - walking to you lyric:
“It was seven years ago to the day
You rang my house and we met halfway
We walked 'round Leicester Square and
Sat through 'Being There' and every moment of it I replay”
THANKS A LOT FOR TALKING BRITISH ENGLISH CLEARLY AND FOR NICE ACTING ALL THE TIME ON YOR VIDEOS
Big love mate
Great video 😅 i watched the ads all the way for you ok..
Hahah mate you’re a real one 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@CharlieVlogs only knew this from some other person I watch they mentioned if watch ads earn money from amount time they are watched. Biggy up
Loved the video but thought I should let your viewers know that Kew Gardens is nowhere near 35 pounds to get in, it's currently 24 pounds maximum at the gate for an adult and that's at weekends, peak season. Still not exactly given away maybe, but for a young person aged 16-29 the price at the gate is 12 pounds at peak times. If you book online, go in the week, off season or later in the afternoon it can be even less and so not that bad value considering that you can easily spend many happy hours wandering round inside. You can take in your own food and drink too if you want to make a cheap day out of it 🙂
Fair enough, for some reason I thought it was more, maybe I’m thinking of something else
@@CharlieVlogs and fair enough, it's still not exactly free anyway...that bit of Regents Park is for sure well up there on my list of free London highlights, so great to see you show it...if people don't know, people don't go...you looked to really enjoy it😊
Your stream breathe of fresh air good effort appreciate you sharing your moment with us
Big love matey 😏❤️
I'm not from London but I go there often. Mate Trafalgar Square is full of these street scammers. Same as in Leicester Square. With all that this video was actually pretty good. Never knew about those free viewpoints. Thanks mate.
One useful point: The daily cap resets at 4:30AM every morning, not 24 hours from when you start.
Yeh that's a good point, it's a 24 hour pass, but yeh starts and ends at 4:30
What about the sky garden? Cracking view from up there. Free too!
Always sold out months in advance 🤣
You always have good audio. What do you use to keep your audio solid?
Just a foam shield around the go pro mate
Sweet! Latest GoPro? Liking your walks and vibe
Go pro 10 this is mate
I'll be watching this video again next time I come down to London. Love your content.
Absolute legend mate 😁
The sky garden is also free and is right near the London Eye anyway
Always sold out months/weeks in advance
Primrose Hill got a nice view aswell but it gets abit stabby up there sometimes
Brilliant tips to save money .
😄😄😄😄
Near London zoo there's snakes
Oh yeh
Swear the London eye was only around fiver when I went on it?! £42! Rip off
Absolutely insane init
AMAZING!
My guy 😁😁😁😁
@@CharlieVlogs 1:46 the girl waving 😆
Love seeing the parts of the city I live I and never see - maybe once donkeys years ago. They look far worse , at least the punks in Camden were real ! great video
Hahaha love it mate!
Saving this video for date ideas (im tight 😂)
Thought that bus was gonna hit u in picadilly circus hahaha
🤣 same when I watched it back ffs
I haven't been to the Tate for years as frankly I find it boring but im definitely going to visit for the view soon, I'm also surprised that shop has prices now displayed, they never used to.
That top level viewing point has always been my favourite
@@CharlieVlogs I'll have to check it out
Absolute madness how’s those cup game scammers have been operating on Westminster Bridge for years now!
And the police just don’t do anything, makes absolutely no sense
@@CharlieVlogsmust be paying the police tax. Also enjoying your videos man, your harrods video popped up randomly earlier and have now binged watched on my day off sick 😂.
My first ever trip to London, (Dec 2022), I was in town less than 2 hours before someone tried to pickpocket me. (On The Strand, right across the street from Charing Cross station)
Guy (obviously drunk, or doing a VERY good acting job), came up and wanted to shake hands and put his arm around me, while trying to hit me up for money for a pint.
The guy was so clumsy at it, his attempt actually made me laugh out loud at him and just say "Really??", then I walked away, just shaking my head.
The rest of the trip was FANTASTIC, though! I'm already booked to do Christmas again this year...counting down from 194 days out! w00t!
🤣 gotta have your wits about you here mate
If you need an Uber give me a shout.
Remember watch the ads that apear in the videos it helps them make money 😊
Oi big up mate
Charlie once you hit 50k treat us to some wings and chips cuzzy
Hahahahah I might have to
not many people know this but merlin anual pass then london eye is free
:0
See, the thing is, if you're a tourist, then the chances are you're going to London with your girlfriend, or with the missus and kids. And believe me, they want to do the touristy things, like go on the London Eye. If you say to them, "Nah, let's go to the balcony over there, you get to see the same buildings!" They would hate you for it. The whole point is to experience the Eye. It's a ride, it's the big wheel. It's the experience. Same goes for the other places like Madame Tussards and all that. Tourists want to experience the adventure, or else they return home and their family goes, "So what did you do in London?", and you say, "Nothing much, just went to a balcony to look at the London view for free." They're gonna think, "That weren't much of a holiday now, was it, you tight c**t!"
These videos are for people who can’t afford it, not who ‘won’t’ afford it
Haha I've ate like a King in Camden Market. You turn up with that curious what is this kind of face and they throw food at you whilst doing a massive mmmhhhh I'll pop back later🤣
Hahahahahahahah love it man 🤣
Quality video bro, great idea. Lets gooo, expose these bastardos!
Legend mate 👊🏼
Do the scammers actually cheat, or make it very difficult to win?
Nah it’s a pure scam mate
dig your vids
❤️❤️❤️❤️
London Hoodie price ?
I think probs like £30
The architect who designed The National Theatre in the 70's was the same geezer who created that ghastly grey Blackpool Police Station and the hideous Lancaster Tower services on the M6.....total concrete fetishist. Inspired by magic mushrooms, Pink Floyd and the fact his parents couldn't afford Lego at Christmas....only sand and cement
A legend
That's who you remind me of! Dan Clark who played Dom in the comedy how not to live your life
Haven’t watched it, I’ll take your word for it! 🤣
I´d love to go thrift shopping w you.
☺️☺️
Everyone should go to Camden, have free samples, and not buy anything. That way, in no time there will be no food vendors. What a prick.
Maybe it because I am from London but the views are so depressing. Give me a view without buildings and nothing but nature.
Did you just say not to eat anywhere in SOHO/LSQ 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️ some of the best food in London is in Soho/Chinatown at reasonable prices too
Balcony closed because some kid got chucked off years before
Yeh I didn’t realise they’d opened the top but not balcony, could happen in any rooftop surely, why keep it closed? 🤣
just having tasters down in camden🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Easy peasy mate 🤣
💚🍀💚
❤️
I ❤ LONDON
Which team do you support then?
COYG
@@CharlieVlogs ah! featuring Saka the diver and limper and Rice the trophyless wonderkind. I like your videos, by the way- very entraining. Better than watching Arsenal!
How many times can one say MATE? 😅
Decent 😊
What is the point of this video?
Disgusting 😂
😭🤣😭
Coys

@@CharlieVlogs you a arsenal fan
@@CharlieVlogs yess another gunner
Charlie you’re very gorgeous and beautiful ❤️ wish I was there with you 😍
42 pounds? Wow.... $84 canadian... lol
I’ve heard Canada is insanely expensive, is that true?
@@CharlieVlogs Hard to say... housing in Vancouver is super expensive... but I know someone who is moving to Saskatchewan... and his house was pretty affordable actually. I've gotten used to food prices but the popular opinion is probably food prices are expensive. 1 thing I know for sure...you'll never see a Ferris wheel ride for $84 canadian
Londonstan
you like every food jajajaja
except for the nuts at the end, finally something you didnt like jeje
as someone who lives in london its cheap. very cheap. you just need to know where to go. ive seen your other videos about cheap food in london and like none of its actually cheap Lol
she gave you a sample because she didnt want to ruin your video lol
the opposite, she was trolling the video by not giving it straight away
