The more I think about solo traveling the more I realize how awesome it is... no boundaries at all. Goin in September to London for a couple of weeks ...solo. #soexited 😏😍
I went to London for the first time (and solo!) this past March. Traveling solo is the absolute BEST. I LOVE it. These are all such great tips. Don't be nervous to adventure out of the city, which is something I wish I did more. It's a shame that people think traveling alone is scary or lonely. It truly is the best.
Ill be going to london in january. 1st time ever leaving the US. Nervous yet excited! Any tips on what to expect on the travel itself? Never dealt with customs or anything lol
I went to London solo twice last year and your videos were a huge help to prepare me. I'm even going back next April to see Hamilton! I think I'll try the pub crawl next time. Thanks for the suggestions!
Loved all of them.. Totally in for the last tip though! It's so important for us to be able to do whatever we want to while we're somewhere, to just soak it all in because we may never visit the same place again! There should be no rules while traveling :) Nice videos. Looking forward to enjoying the summer in London.
I absolutely love going out solo. No complaints. No hold ups. Can do d go where I want without an argument of which place is better. My own space. I just love it. Everyone must exercise being alone sometime it’s not everyday a group.
Traveling to London solo (and elsewhere in England) at the end of September for two weeks! First time traveling alone, so I'm both excited and a bit nervous. Thanks for the advice! :)
I just watched your comparisons between living in the US and the UK video and your comments are disabled so I'm commenting here. I just wanted to say that I've seen sooo many videos of Americans doing "comparisons" and just complaining the whole time and not explaining differences, so they just make it sound like we're stupid for the way we live. Your video was the only one I've seen that was balanced and positive and contained good explanations of differences. Thank you for showing your fellow Americans a true picture of life in the UK :)
Loved your advice in this video! ☺️ I went to London solo for 10 days a couple years ago. It was my second time, but first alone, and being able to do whatever I wanted was AMAZING! I walked around a lot of parks and just found myself getting lost in neighbourhoods admiring all the houses. Also, I loved going to covent garden and having a listen to whoever was playing downstairs at the time.
literally going to London tomorrow! I'll be with friends at an event tomorrow but on Saturday I'll be all on my own!! I hadn't even considered museums lol
I am going to visit london in 3 weeks. After a break-up and losing my dream job, I was looking for quality time for myself. I hope my solo trip in London will bring happiness and lots of fun! By the way, your video ar great. Good job!
I have been solo traveling london the last week, following a lot of your Tips like clothing and stuff but for example a lot of mostly women came up to me and asked for money. One even followed me for like three or four minutes and almost hit me when I wouldn't give her money. Also I did not know that the "old" 1 pounds are not taken anymore and I had to change them at a Bank. But most Londoners were super nice and I had a lovely week without sightseeing and a whole bunch of "casual" london experiences thanks to you
Love and London I did. I love London and I will come again and again 😊 next time I hope I get a bit of rain so I don't feel bad for spending All day in a Museum I love to See V&A Museum or Tate modern because I couldn't bring myself to go in one with the actual weather 😁
Great ideas! Traveling solo is a great opportunity to do the things that the people you normally travel with (family, spouse, kids) don't usually enjoy. Do you offer an Airbnb experience? I'm curious to know more about how they work as they're not available yet in many cities.
I don't do one myself but you just go on to the site and book the ones for London, they have short ones and ones that are a few days. I did one that was great and I met lots of wonderful people.
Thanks Jess Maybe I'll get my dream if I go solo and meet a nice English gentleman and move out of New York to England. !!!!! 😃 how I would LOVE that !!!!
This is such a useful and informative video! Thank you for sharing it with the travel community! More people need the encouragement to travel solo, it's such an amazing experience. It really is one of the best ways to see the world! I've just uploaded a 'Pros and Cons of Solo Travel' video on my channel if you felt like taking a look. Good luck on your next adventure! Keep up the awesome content!
Do it! Also, the tours I recommend are very good for making friends. Lots of solo travelers were on them when I did them. loveandlondon.com/london-tours-recommend/
Hey Carol, I'm pretty particular about what tours I recommend to you guys, here are my favourites: loveandlondon.com/london-tours-recommend/ plus the Eating London tours: bit.ly/2HZDEdJ
Hey jess, i jumped to ur videos yesterday and wow, thanks for the tips :D . I Have one question in mind tho. Since im solo travelling, is it safe to ask the local / stranger to take a photo for me? Especially in the Tourist sight area such as westminster abbey, london tower, buckingham palace, etc. Been to West europe countries like france, spain, italy. mann, There's a lot of pickpockets right there, And im afraid that london has the same story 🤣
Hey Yuda!! Hard to say really. It's like anywhere... you're essentially giving your phone to a stranger so you have to decide for yourself what you think!
@@loveandlondon ahh okay, i thought london is safer than most europe countries in terms of pickpockets crime. so it's not that safe isn't it hahaha. Probably taking selfie is the best option for now 😅 or maybe asking the tourist in that area 😜
The more I think about solo traveling the more I realize how awesome it is... no boundaries at all. Goin in September to London for a couple of weeks ...solo. #soexited 😏😍
Woohoo!
I'll be going to London solo from August to September, looking forward to meeting new friends and having fun there!

I live in a suburb of London, I subscribed because I like to see an outsider view of my country! Makes me appreciate it more, x
Hannah D U think New Cross is a safe area?
Aw thanks!
I only really know the Greenwich area near New Cross, so I couldn't give an honest answer x
I went to London solo twice last year and your videos were a huge help to prepare me. I'm even going back next April to see Hamilton! I think I'll try the pub crawl next time. Thanks for the suggestions!
Ah awesome!
I was just in London (on my first solo trip) a few weeks ago! Had a great time. :)

I live in the UK and I’m a 15 year old boy. I wish to go to London Heathrow as I’m an avid plane spotter. Is this safe and a good idea 👍🏻??
Thanks Jess Maybe I'll get my dream if I go solo and meet a nice English gentleman and move out of New York to England. !!!!! 😃 how I would LOVE that !!!!
Haha sounds like kinda what I did ;)
This is what I needed!

Ah amazing! Thank you Sohan!
How was it?
Thanks for the great infos :)
You're welcome!
Great tips, I did all of that :P
Great!
Thanks for the tips! I’m fine going solo but wondered if it would be odd to do a solo afternoon tea?
Do anything you want solo!
Forget Hyde Park and go to Hampstead Heath and get lost for the whole day! 😊
Both are great!
I will go to London Pretty soon ... and well I will be alone so I am interested in meeting people perhaps pub crawl
Do it! Also, the tours I recommend are very good for making friends. Lots of solo travelers were on them when I did them. loveandlondon.com/london-tours-recommend/
Need a help traveling from India to uk as a solo , best place to stay , visiting places , and how to get uk tourist visa
I can't help with visas but this TH-cam channel has tons of videos to help with the other stuff.
@@loveandlondon thnkx
you look like monica from friends😱
Lol I get that sometimes!
Here's a question you probably get a lot (or not)...has your American accent shifted at all?
I've been told yes!
What do you think of London Walks tours?
Hey Carol, I'm pretty particular about what tours I recommend to you guys, here are my favourites: loveandlondon.com/london-tours-recommend/ plus the Eating London tours: bit.ly/2HZDEdJ
Thank you
How prevalent is using a credit card in pubs in London or outlying areas?
All pubs take cards.

Love and London thanks for replyin :)
