I so love the grumpy/sunshine dynamic you two have, like characters in a romance novel. Chad's the cynic (which I actually find refreshing because I think he's often right, and sometimes it's good to hear the truth) but Ash sees the optimism and beauty in everything, and enjoys things even if they're a bit commercial or overhyped etc. I can relate to both of you in equal measure!
Ash, thank you for this enjoyable Vlogmas Day 8. I loved the tour around town and your open and honest comments. As an American, I'm not familiar with these trends in the UK, but can relate to the same trends here in the USA. My mouth was watering when you made the Mac and Cheese dish. It must have been delicious. Looking forward to Vlogmas # 9. I will miss this when Christmas is over. Robert.
I’m American, and spend a few days in London every year, but I’m usually confined to Central London and the more touristy bits, so it’s nice to get out into other neighborhoods, so thanks for the outing. I enjoyed it.
I really enjoyed the tour and conversation about different neighborhoods. As a native New Yorker, I know first hand about gentrification and how an area changes. Very much appreciated your guys take on it. Keep up the great work. I am loving Vlogmas.
Loved this vlog! Nice to see different neighborhoods and houses! Your current house is great, so you should take your time to find something you both will like.
The mac/cheese looks absolutely delicious 💛😋 The volume seemed very low on both my cellphone (on full volume) and on the TH-cam TV channel. Enjoy your vlogmases ❤🎄💚
We were in Fulham before and we looked at a tonne of areas. It took a lot of persuading but my partner got me to look at the Battersea/Wandsworth area near Clapham junction station which we eventually moved to and now I am totally in love with it. Best of everything, it feels like a very underrated Hampstead where we live, and massive potential upside for properties.
Hey Ash, sorry I’m a bit late commenting ( life just gets in the way sometimes) anyway, your mac & cheese looked fantastic. Dinner at your house I say😂😂. Great to see Chad again. The house with the yellow door is my sort off thing. Lovely. I’m sure you’ll both find a beautiful home soon. Catch ya today hehe
Never been to london live in United States born rased here love my country I will love to go to London some day but its not on my wish list or anything, but still pretty love your videos so fun !!!
Chad's assessment of areas of London I so agree with - the 'village' term is ridiculous - Highgate village for example multimillion pound houses & a stones throw from Archwsy & The Holloway Road. Islington is a no no for me also - too busy.
Love seeing someone vlogging Broadway Market - that’s my stomping ground! Totally agree Hackney’s pricey, but I’d never move to West London. Every time I’m there, it feels so dull and soulless, plus the streets feel kinda unfriendly. So many empty houses just sitting there thanks to investors. I think East London is the place to be. You should wander around Tredegar Square near Mile End and up to Victoria Park - such a lovely area with gorgeous terraced houses and not too many council estates.
Wherever you live in London you will see rundown buildings next to muti million pound homes. I think it's what makes London unique. Rich and poor live side by side unlike in other cities. London is well known for having extremes of poverty and wealth. Even Fulham has run down parts. I think Chad would like Barnes in South West london. But have you both considered Battersea a short walk across the bridge and your in Chelsea without the price tag. Or Greenwich that's a lovely part of South East london but very touristy. Keep up the vlogs it's enjoyable watching.
I agree, I live somewhere where rich and poor live cheek to jowl and it makes for a great community, granted it could be prettier in places but generally it looks great and has an amazing atmosphere where everyone says hello to each other and people from all walks of life get involved in community gatherings and get along with each other and look out for each other x
So nice to see all of the small shops! Over here USA they are very few around… Amazon rules. Chad was very negative today. We all have off days.. Your vlogs are always interesting.Thanks!
I am loving your vlogs and do you live in Stratford? Interesting what you say about the areas and gentrification. On the up which is good. Boris bringing the Olympic Stadium to upgrade and boost the area helped and the east does have stigma but he tried hard to stamp out crime and with the Stratford Shopping Centre it gives some new life.
First, let me say i love Chad's hat. Second do you guys have a P.O. box that your viewers can send gifts to if we so desire. Third the Mac and Cheese looked incredible and delicious, what would you say is your comfort food? Thanks look forward to your videos to come. ❤
I have, to an extent, been a beneficiary of gentrification in my own city. Also though, I have lost as a result of it. Impossible for me to upgrade my home because the 'better' home now costs so much more than it did not so long ago. Mind you, I am still vastly better off than many, who have been locked out of the market to buy. Here, it is not just a question of moving from the east (expensive) to the west (cheaper). Now, the west is expensive also! No areas exist for poor people. Even the regional cities have become pricey! Thank you for the video!
Do you watch TH-cam channel Chateau de Purnon? Your wallpaper in the guest room appears to be from their reproduction of papers found in the chateau. They used it in a bathroom and is very pretty.
Another super interesting video. Thanks! BTW I used to be an anti-organic wine snob like Chad, and then I learned about the additives, especially in Cali wines, but French too. But I agree they aren't as good as the traditional wines. You guys are great together!
Hi guys, I’m coming down to Clapham to stay in my son’s flat while he is away on holiday, from the 28th December,where are some nice areas to visit. Love interior’s and small boutiques/antiques. Any ideas would be appreciated. Female in her 50s
we were in Rioja Spain and I searched for an organic winery and one of them LITERALLY stomps on the grapes with their feet 😳 so I don’t think Chad is far off for some organic wineries at least. But we did go to other wineries who make organic wine but in a more sanitary way.
If you’re moving to get a larger home or if your current neighbourhood is awful , that’s understandable. But if your current place suits and the surroundings will be more gentrified in a few yrs,why go through the hassle & expense of selling,moving and buying? It just seems like a lot of bother, Mais chachun à son goût. Your mac & cheese looks lovely,mine is similar but with Colman’s mustard and a splash of the Worcester sauce.
Shocked and appalled! Grey Poupon is not authentic Dijon mustard. The taste is dreadful. You should have no problem getting proper Dijon mustard in London and possibly cheaper than GP. In the US you can get authentic mustard at for about $2. at Trader Joe’s which I understand you don’t have there, but really get la vraie chose. You will appreciate the difference.
Gentrification just means nice people move into a shithole because they can’t afford to live in a nice area. Everyone outside London laughs into their sleeves. A million pounds for a two up two down is so ridiculous but each to their own.
Chad how did you become a snob? You have so much to be grateful for and England is a great hodge podge of people but you and Ash can't seem to enjoy your blessings. Is this just an act?

Chad must either have a big bank balance or a big boaby
@@gerrington Chad has those beautiful eyes too and is quite handsome! Of course what you mentioned wouldn't hurt either lol
@@ashleighcondon4328 I think they should get matching pajamas for a Christmas vlog.
@@gerrington - he also doesn't like the poors.
@@lynndixonsilva9961 I meant more from the fact that they are the only reasons I can see them together 😅🤣

loving these vlogs
Amazing amazing amazing Vlogmas.... 🎉❤❤
Eat 17 in Walthamstow -very good👏🤭 iykyk!
So nice to see my home town again. Love London ❤
Love your choice in music ❤
Your mac & cheese looked delish! When you were discussing your lighting, funny, but I was just wishing my skin looked as great as yours!
Thank you guys! Really enjoyed the stroll through your town. Love all the history. It seems to rain a lot. Hi from Virginia US.
Mac and cheese is always a good choice. I make mine with Gruyère, fontina, cheddar, and Parmesan… decadent but delicious.
Spooky, the Petticoat Antique place you went to in Ramsgate is the first shop on Antiques Road Trip today on BBC1.
Hey Ash, sorry I’m a bit late commenting ( life just gets in the way sometimes) anyway, your mac & cheese looked fantastic. Dinner at your house I say😂😂. Great to see Chad again. The house with the yellow door is my sort off thing. Lovely. I’m sure you’ll both find a beautiful home soon. Catch ya today hehe
Loving vlogmas so far😊How about an afternoon neighborhood walkabout with homes’ holiday decorations?
The wallpaper is supreme. Please don’t change it! You elect the best choices, trust yourselves!

Chad how about trying some Rioja or Ribera del Duero Spanish wines and share your thoughts in here? Thanks for your videos. ❤
Mac and cheese looked very
delightful.
Would you kindly share on occasion your recipes ?
Thanks 😊

The Mac & Cheese looks amazing! Can you put hot pots on the wood countertop? I’m thinking about getting wood countertops and curious to know.

That mac and cheese looked delicious. I am sorry to say this Ash, but everytime i see your plates i am reminded of paper plates- am i the only one.
Now you’ve said it that’s all I can see 😂
Mac and cheese and Elf...that's good living!....SANTA!!!...LOL!
Enjoyed seeing Hackney!
London villages, were villages that were incorporated as London grew. Yes l think estate agents possibly resurrected it.
Love your hat Chad..😊😊😊
Come to Chertsey! Ok, it's half an hour outside London but you will get a stunning house here for a fraction of the price you'll pay in town!
Chad what American Pino Gris would you recommend?
Dang Gina, that’s a load of nutmeg!
Who’s Gina?
YUMMMMM....IOVE Mac and Cheese....!

Wandsworth Town! Lovely area ;o)
So agree I only discovered recently how expensive Hackney is - I was shocked. Would you guys consider the Chiswick area?
We're open to most areas, we'll definitely look into Chiswick!
Have you looked at Crouch End in N8
Organic wine..."step and chai", omg! Lol.
Hi beauties, you better buy Argentinian Malbek ( the wine )
Have to say Crystal Palace is really nice as an area.
Nothing wrong with organic wine.. 🍷 we have loads in the US. Had nothing to do with hippies by the way Chad..maybe you just like those pesticides! 😅
😂
@@ashmazzinawaaaaaahhhh😢

Have you seen Dulwich in SE London, or even Camberwell?
Save me some, I’ll be over tomorrow
Hey Ash can we get your recipe for the Mac and cheese please
What a great butchers
I'm assuming you lads are in Leyton? If so, welcome to the neighbourhood :)

Ash; in Britain it's Macaroni Cheese..... in the US it's Mac & Cheese! Looked delicious!
so that's where all the hipsters went? They all disappeared here in the states.
Check your volume,,,, your up and down and it’s a bit disconcerting.
Dear Santa aka Ash please send me some homemade mac & cheese.

If you hate it why do it ? Many real jobs out there. The world can live without being filmed ?
Audio bad.
❤
Gentrification just means nice people move into a shithole because they can’t afford to live in a nice area. Everyone outside London laughs into their sleeves. A million pounds for a two up two down is so ridiculous but each to their own.
What you need to do is buy one that is still a wreck, then fix it up and then sell it for millions. 😂
Chad how did you become a snob? You have so much to be grateful for and England is a great hodge podge of people but you and Ash can't seem to enjoy your blessings. Is this just an act?
do we want fakeness? i would rather the real Ash & Chad.
Disgusting butchers shop looked like they just chuck them chicken in the corner of the shop window.
I can’t say I’d buy from them 😂
I did notice that! It was chicken carnage!
Chad, if you don’t like it, then do one - you are so blinking miserable.
Oh, bore off, you little internet troll.
start your own channel if you arent happy..very rude
@@MarisaPaola-um5yb in the same way that Chad is able to give opinions of places to live , such as Hackney, I’m equally entitled to give my opinion.
Chad what American Pino Gris would you recommend?
