I think your video is absolutely amazing. Because you only managed to blink once in 12:38. That in itself is a hidden gem! 😂
What?? I've just started watching it and he blinks four times in the first nine seconds ...
9:55-9:56 half blink 😉
The Churchills Arms - Kensington
Sky Garden - Aldgate
The Mayor of Scaredy Cat Town - Liverpool Street
Leadenhall Market - Aldgate
Tulip Stairs - Greenwich
Greenwich Foot Tunnel - Greenwich
The Vaults - Waterloo
Spitalfields at Bricklane
Little Venice - North London
Saint Dunstan In East
Kyoto Gardens
My favorite day in London was spent in Greenwich. The beauty of the Tulip Stairs took my breath away. There were some students singing Renaissance music there which added greatly to the experience! Also, you mentioned the Painted Hall, which is beyond magnificent, both as a piece of art and as a history lesson. Could have stared at that for hours. The Foot Tunnel is fun, albeit a little creepy. The view of Greenwich from the other side is striking, and was painted by Canaletto. Of course there's also the Royal Observatory, the main attraction, with the stunning views, the GMT line, and all the other wonderful exhibits. What I'd add to that to complete a great day is keep walking through the park in back of the observatory, which is lovely, until you get to the gate at the end. Across the road from this is Blackheath. It's a famous place (although I found no historical markers commemorating this) as it's where Richard ii and Wat Tyler faced off during the Peasants Rebellion over 600 years ago! Today, it's full of dog walkers and Frisbee players. Continuing into the village of Blackheath, now an upper middle class suburb of Greater London, you find some really fine map and bookstores, interesting pubs, an historic church, many beautiful homes, and a very pleasant, completely tourist free atmosphere. Taking the train back from Blackheath station gets you to London Bridge station in about 15 minutes, so it's an easy trip. As said, making a full day of Greenwich/Blackheath was my favorite day of my 10 day recent trip.
Terrific tips. Thanks.
Such a great video Joe, I live in London and while I've seen/been to a few of those mentioned there were some revelations that inspired me to find them or even revisit. And just to confirm they really are great places to go to, away from the usual places that are associated with London.
What an absolute treasure trove of hidden gems in London! This video is a must-watch for tourists and locals alike who seek to uncover the city's lesser-known treasures. While the iconic attractions certainly have their charm, exploring these secret spots adds a whole new dimension to the London experience. It's refreshing to see a local's perspective on the city's best-kept secrets - a true insider's guide to London's hidden wonders! Thank you for sharing your top 10 favorite secret attractions with us. Can't wait to embark on these off-the-beaten-path adventures! 🏰🔍🇬🇧

Excellent. Did the tunnel with school when I was a boy in the UK. I love Brick lane and always visit it and spitafileds.

Great video with alot of useful info. But after a while, I just became entranced by the fact that he didn't blink the entire video.
Thank you for sharing these London gems with us. I’ll be coming to London this summer for a weekend. You gave me good ideas for a visit. I did not know about the sky garden 🪴. I’ll definitely go there.

Awesome video ! thanks a million. I live in London but some of these l did not know about or ever even heard about so l got some exploring to do :)
❤❤th-cam.com/video/G-lyGmds66c/w-d-xo.html❤❤
COOL VIDEO! Now Christmas 2022, I'm coming to live in the UK for the next 7 months as my top of the Bucket List item. Resting an airbnb 2 months in Eastborne (2 months off Island in Dublin) then 3 months in London. Curtis, 56, retired U.S. Navy. I'll look for these places in your video.
Wooo excellent
very helpful.
Thanks Joe….. I’m on my way. Awesome mate !!
Some great suggestions here. Thanks. I'm visiting London twice this year. Once solo for 2 days and again with a friend for 3. I'm staying in Kensington for the solo trip so not far away from the Churchill Pub. Better yet, the hostel I'll be staying in is in Holland Park, so I'll literally be feet away from Kyoto Garden. The vaults looks interesting too, so will probably check that out. As for the second trip, me and my friend are drinkers who love unique puns and bars. I'm looking for some interesting pubs and bars and the Mayor of Scaredy Cat Town sounds perfect, and I'll definitely check out your other video
Try Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese on Fleet Street and the Cittie of Yorke near Chancery Lane. Two of the best old pubs in London.
Great video!
Thanks man! 👍
Fantastic! Hi from Singapore!
THIS PLACE IS WONDERFULL
Hi Joe. Thank you for this amazing video. We are arriving in London is about three weeks from Toronto. We plan on seeing St Dunstan after our visit to Skygarden (already made reservations) and the Monument. I've been to London by my husband hasn't. I just had to come back because London is so incredible. I missed Churchill Arms last time. I've done so much research I'm soooo ready to come back
Excellent content. I plan to visit London, and I've already seen the touristy spots.
Have an amazing trip Elizabeth!
The Greenwich foot tunnel is scary 😟 . I remember the first time I had to use it to go to work, early in the morning 5am. I was absolutely petrified. Lol. I imagined a scary dragon was about to chase me. It also had a scary echo Lol. I
Thanks, interesting.. . But don't you ever blink
Ahahaahah true
? 14 times in the first minute
Ahahah literally all I could think about 😂😂😂😂
9:55-9:56 there’s a half blink 🤭
@@thegroovetube3247 that's just him getting all the blinking for the video over and done with.
Hell yeah, a video with actual gems, not just the same old same old. Thanks so much!
Thank you Joe
Thank you 😊
Thank you me and my 15 year old moved to London September so we are gonna try all of these thank you
Really interesting video, Joe. Will check a few of these hidden gems on my next video. Just one thing - you forget to mention where Kyoto Gardens is located. OK, Google, here I come....
Hope someday I will be able to visit these hidden gems. Thank you!
Good video great suggestions. When we were there our friends took us to a restaurant/pub called Giuseppe’s Restaurante. When you are there again I highly recommend.
You are scarry, because you never blink😮
Thank you!
Thank you mate!!!!
❤❤th-cam.com/video/G-lyGmds66c/w-d-xo.html❤❤
Thanks so much. You did a great job. Very informative and interesting. It would be great if you could add more photos to show each place. But otherwise fantastic and it really helped us as we're going to visit soon.
I can't agree more! It is helpful for tourists ~ By the way, I found that I can use code to get discounts on tickets on TRIP ~❤
Staring into my soul, 😆just kidding keep it up dude
Fantastic thank you for your help😎🌈👍🌈
I thought the Monument was pretty quiet, yet an amazing place to visit.
No doubts London has always been one the best places for tourists attraction, great people, food/resturants, pubs the list goes on. GREAT FOR VACATION TOO. Left there recently, definitely would recommend.
You think so right? …. I haven’t been to London tho but my family and I plan on spending our next vacation there next year.
@@steffan683 Mine wasn’t even a planned vacation, I made profits from an investment so I decided to take myself out, toured around London and dined at some of their top restaurants such as The Araki, and Dinner by Heston to name a few. I really enjoyed myself there, you should definitely try it too. 😉
@@jaluriaja6294 That’s great to hear glad you enjoyed you visit, you mentioned about an investments, pls could you tell me more about that?
@@johnwilson4283 Oh yeah so I’ve been working with a broker for about a year now, she owns a trading platform where I copy her trades from and I’ve been making profits. I make 5% of my daily investments, that’s better than my salary lol
@@johnwilson4283 In my opinion It’s safer than losing your money to unprofessional brokers who'll trade for you.
Some amazing places, I would love to see them all. I will be in London at the end of april for a day trip. I will try to keep them in mind and try to combine a few of them. Can't do all of them within 8 hours though. Sky garden has already been on my list but as far as I know you need a ticket to get up there, even if it is for free.
Like done watch done keep it up ...
Liked and subscribed first time watched your awesome video which just popped up today, I am from US, never been to London yet except airport transit. Would you suggest some best parks in London. Cheers 👍
Been to London twice and going again in July 2024. Never heard of most of these places but putting them on the list. Going with another couple who don't necessarily need to do the tourist traps so this is a great list. Thanks for making the video.
Enjoy your trip and always happy to help!
Am visiting London in 2 weeks time. Am not interested in the touristy areas. LOVED your video. Like to tell you which ones I visited when I return. A HUGE thanks from Belgium 🙏🌻
Your Stat can see you are performer! You fixed my mood i was low today! I like your theme of page. You've worked hard on this you deserved it! Pressed red box and liked! I do think we have one 2 thing in common. You'll see.
Blimey, well done... next time I'm in the smoke I'll check out that sky garden... btw tell your viewers not to be ripped off in the pubs, etc near tourist attractions... just walk away a bit and ask a local. I used to work in the City (Square mile) and got stung once... there's plenty of reasonable places if you're in the know x
There is a similar Japanese Garden in Balboa Park in San Diego. Great Architecture and vibes.
Sounds amazing! I would love to visit sometime!
Interesting think
Hint for all travelers in all cities:
If you’re a tourist family with kids, then stay in tourist areas so nobody else has to deal with it 😀
If you’re a fun traveler then welcome and have a great time
I attempted to use the Greenwich tunnel once when I missed the boat. The creepy never ending spiral stairs on the way down freaked me out and I had to get out ASAP. Its was silent and isolated and I had no idea what would meet me when I got to the bottom. Never again!
I walked under this tunnel to the other side of the Thames, but it wasn’t that creepy as I did in on the weekend of the Tall Ships Festival (year 2014 I think) so there were other people down there. But I can imagine what it would be like if it were deserted

Apsley house and wellington arch !
Hi Mauricio :), here from Germany I am always traveling alone and flying to London over New Years 28th December to 2nd January 2023 and would be very happy if I can meet people who know their way around London and have a good time together Has.
Can you please recommend how to find that Jack The Ripper Tour in Spitalfields and Brick Lane? Thanks. Very valuable video.
Random tips.Cleopatras needle,gladiator arena underneath guildhall art gallery,parakeet feeding at Hyde park,most of James bonds cars at London film museum,jack ripper museum as it's about the only museum showing a poor person's home as opposed to ornate, brooklands to sit on a Concorde and which had the world's first racetrack for racing cars,inside tower bridge,the redone area of captain bligh"s tomb at the garden museum,its difficult to describe it's beauty,the royal mews,free glassblowing studio near shard,Aspley house is a must,Holland park costume Murals,Up Westminster cathedral(not abbey)free barbican conservatory to avoid eating up a day at Kew,trinity buoy wharf with London's only lighthouse,the maze that is HMS Belfast,touch the Olympic rings at the park,and finally walk. along any bit of the Thames shore and find yourself some Tudor or roman etc pottery,it's everywhere but do research what bits to look for on mudlarking Thames videos!
Ssh though many of these places are not that well known..
You're fantastic! Calm, very nice, beautiful manner and accent...Thank you! Love all the places you mentioned! Love from Italy😍♥🖤💯
Skygarden is lovely, but 1) you need to reserve a time slot several days in advance and 2) you need to bring ID.
Several weeks more like!
Super News Video
Support for your new channel 👍
Thank you so much for the support :)
Great video but i wanted to ask you what do you mean with the number above your hat ,which number? 3:50
Thanks for the suggestions! I’ll be in London with my bestie in December, I definitely want to visit the hidden bar!
Is there anything you recommend a couple days before Christmas?
TIA 😊👍
Nice options, Joe. While I definitely recommend Sky Garden, I'd avoid the restaurant... the food is unremarkable as is the service.
It's not really hidden, but I love Camden Market. It is almost impossible to find a wider variety, of amazing food, all in one location, anywhere else on the planet. Plus the people there are so interesting.
UK, London 🇬🇧, Defender of Faith. Got it !
Was the Tulip Stairs in the movie Now You See Me 2 and Little Venice the set for Highlander the series?
I have visited most of the places. I am looking for an inspiration as i grow a hobby in photography. I havent been to the foot tunnel tho. You must be in full concentration for not blinking
I’m really grateful this robot took time out of his day to tell me about hidden places in London
