One of the best cities to live in when you are young and active. Culture, music, a hub for great thinkers, movers and shakers. Great diversity and people
I think you made a very good point about the news coverage in the UK when compared with the United States. When I lived/worked in the US I found the news coverage really insular. The news outlets only really talked about what was happening in the States and events in the rest of the world were pretty much ignored unless there were American armed forces involved. The UK is far more outward looking and engaged in what is happening around the world. I liked and admired that.
Actually I think the U.K. media, particularly when it comes to t.v. is just as insular as the U.S. Admittedly the number of people who actually watch t.v. news now is shrinking fast and that’s a good thing -lol.
This made me miss London so much! I was there, oh man, SIX years ago already... gotta get back! Every time I walk into a clothing store back home here in the States I miss London fashion lol. Isn't it funny seeing what was there show up here way later? Cracks me up at least.
The thing I appreciated most about London was how much of a "world" city it is. It was like a United Nations all within a few square miles. It's an absolutely fascinating place with so much to see.
Such a good review of Best About London. Well done. I love the train system. So easy to get to places via train. Also, extremely courteous people everywhere!
The company you worked for doesn't sound like the normal experience of work here in the UK to me, although I'm glad you got to experience that kind of employer.
Can't beat Friday after work beers - people in suits on the side of/ on the road ploughing through pints of cold lager. A nice melting pot when senior director and intern are suddenly best pals. I moved to Shanghai and asked the whole office out for beers - my bosses told me to calm it down because it made me look like an alcoholic. That would NEVER happen in London.
It's interesting to see how others see us. London started out as little villages that grew into one big city that's why each part still has it's own individually character. It's the fourth most expensive city in the world to live in . It is most cosmopolitan , it is possible to walk down the road and hear 200 different languages spoken . The rest of Britain is very different in character to London.
I’m from the uk and have been to London twice, it’s really expensive and so busy! When I went I saw hundreds of Americans and they were like so stunned by the sightings, I have always wanted to go to America so we could like swap aha, it’s very cold here and I love the heat when we get over 15 degrees which is hardly ever we are literally so crazy for it! I do love my country but I always find that people from america always want to come here and we want to go there! It’s crazy but loved this video and I LOVEE primark I get most of my clothes from there! Xxxx
I'm living in London too! This is such cool video, I should sum up things I love about London too! Should be fun, haven't thought much of that. :) I sub btw, you seem super positive and cool! x
I see that Tyler is lacking in engaging in the questions and comments so I want to add something that people are not getting regarding the news. In England, like Tyler said, the News is a big deal not only within the country but in many others also. However, it means that people are very cognizant of the world and what the world goes through with big events. It was in the houses of parliament where Theresa May (the PM) gave a short mention of the remembrance of Pearl Harbor day. When does the USA government (Senate or congress) give mention of any events outside of the USA? Just an example. Great video Tyler!
I got bored with work so packed it in, for a more lucrative and relaxed lifestyle! Both of my previous periods of employment were as good as it gets! Head of design with a brewery, for seven good years, with two plus hour lunches, several times a week, all provided by product suppliers..... First class travel on the 'Pullman' rail service with breakfast and dinner Mega expenses and Xmas gifts off the scale.... The other one with regular conventions at top hotels, major Xmas events with good food, accomodation and incredible gifts for top achievers! Unfortunately they went bust.....lolol
I’m from Pittsburgh and we don’t even have a subway!We have one train that goes to the South Hills,Right?! I just moved back to Pittsburgh.Everywhere is different from where we are from. Lol Oh,Yeah they don’t wear sweats in public,That’s a no no!
Late to the party again...sorry. Love your style, love that you are so natural and intelligent...... Love that you are so outward looking.... Love that, like, you didn't like use the word like, in at least once, and sometimes like, several times in a single sentence!
If anyone is planning to visit England and you want a realistic look at what it’s like, don’t go to London because it’s nothing like the rest of England
John Cornell I know that it’s still England, obviously, but London is very different to the rest of England in the sense that it has way more to do and they make an effort to make it look really nice because of the amount of tourism there. Sure, they may do that to other big cities and places which have famous tourist attractions but London is really different to everywhere else I’ve been in the UK.
@@jw-27j01 I think that is a fair comment..And now u really struggle to find any actual locals(most are moving away)So on many occassions u have people making Videos who really have'nt lived there long..
John Cornell firstly I’m not a he and also although everywhere in England is different places such as Liverpool have more similarities to other places within England whereas London, in my opinion, is unlike other places. It’s fine if you disagree but I hope you can kind of understand what I mean.
Excuse me but Primark is NOT a UK thing. It's IRISH🇮🇪. It's called Penny's. It opened decades ago in Ireland 🇮🇪 and there are penny's stores all over Ireland. It's quintessential Irish brand like Guinness, tayto crisps, riverdance ect. When the company expanded and wanted to open stores outside of Ireland they had to change the name because in the US there is a brand called JC Penny's. So basically it's called Penny's in Ireland but anywhere outside of Ireland like in the US or UK the stores are called Primark. Again it's an irish brand store NOT British.
What did you do for a living in London? I'm planning to live there next year as a hotel receptionist and I have no idea if I'll be able to make a living out of it
Sorry, I know your question was addressed to the young lady in the video but I was in a similar situation a couple of years ago. The simple answer is that London is expensive with a capital 'E' and a hotel receptionist job does not pay big money. Much depends on what your accommodation arrangements will be but if you are intending to live on your own in some kind of apartment then I honestly think you might struggle. To answer your specific question you won't make much of a living out of it. Having said that, if you can manage financially then you will be living and working in what I consider to be the greatest city in the world, so if you can cope with the likelihood of living modestly then I would say go for it. Good luck.
We are more informed about America than America is about us probably because we watch so much American TV and film. As you pointed out we do watch news about what is going on abroad. Many Americans on TH-cam have problems with British words biscuit /cookie etc I am always translating.
kind regards - just one thing, if in doubt ask - the natives are on the whole quite friendly! Pronunciation is useful, again just listen, ask and learn - e.g. borough is pronounced burra rather than burrow (where rabbits live)
Hi Tyler, thank you for the video! I'm moving to London in October and looking for a job in marketing. I love the sound of the company you worked for, could I ask who was your employer? Maybe I could send my cv over. Thanks B xx
When it comes to dress you do see plenty of guys in sports clothes but compared to the U.S. we are generally not as ultra casual particularly when we’re going to restaurants etc. Americans now have the reputation of being some of the worst dressed anywhere but of course that doesn’t apply to everyone.
John Small only someone from ltaly would say that, that’s why 80% of your football players move to London. You can’t compare London to Milan, that’s like London to Birmingham.
You were only there for 16weeks, hardly a reflection on those trying to live there permanently and on a average income. Not all museums are free, i agree some of the larger ones are, but the big attraction, the Tower of London, Madame Tussauds, London dungeon, to name a few cost a lot to visit, especially for a family. £16 to see St Pauls cathedral, a place of worship, such a building should be free.
The National Gallery, The British Museum, Tate Britain, Tate Modern, the Victoria and Albert, The Natural History Museum, Institute of Contemporary Arts, and many other museums are all free, musical concerts and church services at St. Pauls and St. Martin's in the Field are all free. Madame Tussauds and the London Dungeon are tourist attractions, not museums.
Number three we British don't drive on the opposite side of the road .Europe changed when Napoleon was master of Europe he ordered all his army on foot on one side of the road and his supplies with four wheels on the the right side .Because Napoleon did surrender at Waterloo he never set one foot on British soil so had no influence or power in Great Britain .We drive on the left it was Europe that changed not my beloved country. All that we British have is all yours God bless America.
As Simon said. She never said 'wrong side'. She specifically said opposite and the reason we drive on the left has absolutely f*ck all to do with Napoleon!
The reason we drive on the left has NOTHING to do with Napoleon!! We drive on the left because it’s all to do with keeping your sword hand free! In the Middle Ages you never knew who you were going to meet when travelling. Most people are right-handed, so if a stranger passed by on the right of you, your right hand would be free to use your sword if required. (Similarly, medieval castle staircases spiral in a clockwise direction going upwards, so the defending soldiers would be able to stab down around the twist but those attacking (going up the stairs) would not.) Indeed the ‘keep to the left’ rule goes back even further in time; archaeologists have discovered evidence suggesting that the Romans drove carts and wagons on the left, and it is known that Roman soldiers always marched on the left. This ‘rule of the road’ was officially sanctioned in 1300 AD when Pope Boniface VIII declared that all pilgrims travelling to Rome should keep to the left.
Living in Earls Court "WHEN" you were living over here NOT "whenever". That implies that you live/lived in Earls Court on numerous occasions. Yet another bastardisation of the English language by Americans that really gets my back up! Van Go? No, it's Van Goff. Grocery shopping probably seems cheaper because the price on the shelves is the price you pay at the till/checkout. No need to start working out the cost after you've added the tax.
If you are getting free massages and food from your company this is interesting, I think most companies stopped doing this as it is now regarded as perks in lieu of wages and should be taxable and declared. Perhaps if you can name your company HMRC can look into it.
i do very much appologise,but there is zero best thing about living in london,iv lived and worked there when i was 20 as a welshman,and the value of job is far out weighed by value of standard living

Even ‘youtube rewind’ and ‘google in search’ only focus on what happenes in the US only
So true about US media. You'd think we were the only country on the planet.
Actually I think the U.K. media, particularly when it comes to t.v. is just as insular as the U.S. Admittedly the number of people who actually watch t.v. news now is shrinking fast and that’s a good thing -lol.

It's lovely to hear that you took advantage of the museums. :)
The company you worked for doesn't sound like the normal experience of work here in the UK to me, although I'm glad you got to experience that kind of employer.
Thanks for this. I identified with all your comments. London will always be part of me now.

No sweat pants? U definitely didn’t go to the endz lol

An intelligent appraisal of our capital city.

couldn't agree more! the tube is amazing
You're so genuine I love it :) good to know your experience I'm moving there soon 🇬🇧
Lucia Coello Cool welcome :’) what country are you from?
Spain :))
haven't watched it yet but soooooooo happy that you uploaded another video 🙌🙌🙌❤❤❤
aw thanks! I'll be uploading more often from now on :)
Zara is a Spanish brand. It's all over Europe :)
Like a lot of things the Tube is great when it's working, and the most frustrating thing in the world when it isn't.
Glad you enjoyed your time in London
Thanks for sharing, Tyler!
Love the tube!! And the art!! And the pubs :)!
I'm living in London too! This is such cool video, I should sum up things I love about London too! Should be fun, haven't thought much of that. :) I sub btw, you seem super positive and cool! x
I’m from Pgh too! And that’s how I felt about Atlanta when it came to their “tub”. Lol We only have one in Pgh that goes to South Hills.
Great video girl! Keep going

And the way that after 9/11 they played the Stars and Stripes at The Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace.
WOW what company did you work for to have a Christmas party like that?! Sounds amazing!!!!
I got bored with work so packed it in, for a more lucrative and relaxed lifestyle!
Both of my previous periods of employment were as good as it gets!
Head of design with a brewery, for seven good years, with two plus hour lunches, several times a week, all provided by
product suppliers.....
First class travel on the 'Pullman' rail service with breakfast and dinner
Mega expenses and Xmas gifts off the scale....
The other one with regular conventions at top hotels, major Xmas events with good food, accomodation and incredible gifts for top achievers!
Unfortunately they went bust.....lolol
Finallyyyyyy another video
haha I know its been way too long
Duvet days for the win.
Fascinating. Thank you.
Come back, we miss you
you're so pretty! and you're video was so useful
London Tube, efficient? Hmmm... Perhaps compared to U.S public transport. Japan's Tokyo Subway, is on another level!
?
Good review you have a great outlook on things 👍
I’m from Pittsburgh and we don’t even have a subway!We have one train that goes to the South Hills,Right?! I just moved back to Pittsburgh.Everywhere is different from where we are from. Lol Oh,Yeah they don’t wear sweats in public,That’s a no no!
Late to the party again...sorry.
Love your style,
love that you are so natural and intelligent......
Love that you are so outward looking....
Love that, like, you didn't like use the word like, in at least once, and sometimes like, several times in a single sentence!

I think what he saying is don't judge the rest of England by London like don't read judge the rest of England by Cornwall it's all very different.

I agree. From what I've heard from actual people who have gone there, it is a REAL BORING place to live in.
Thumbs up 👍🏼🏴
Thank you , this is beautiful ... happy i found u
IM OBSESSED WITH U I LOVE U AND MISS U
Lebanese in London - must mean Maroush (literally amazing)
People in the states don't read newspapers anymore. Very sad. I appreciated the fact that the Brits read them.
Primark has come to the US.
Primark is one up from thrift.
London is the worlds best city and should be the capital of the world
It is.
It is.
Excuse me but Primark is NOT a UK thing. It's IRISH🇮🇪. It's called Penny's. It opened decades ago in Ireland 🇮🇪 and there are penny's stores all over Ireland.

This is awesome Tyler! :)
thank you! I watched you London vlogs and quickly subscribed :)
Thanks so much! Subbed to you as well :)
Being a Londoner I curse TFL every morning but after watching this video I see how lucky we are ... when there's no signal failure.
What did you do for a living in London? I'm planning to live there next year as a hotel receptionist and I have no idea if I'll be able to make a living out of it

zone 1 an 2 have the most companies like that.
Yes duvet days and 8 weeks annual leave
Blimey ! ....If you could sing ...you'd be the new Doris Day ( energy for two people )
you meant American become more rich in London??? it is way cheaper to get stuff In london grocery stores than in the us
Earl’s Court ain’t what anyone thinks of when they think of London...unless they’re Filipino maybe
I have been to New York, but i have not seen America. You have been to London, but you have not seen England !
8:20 When TH-cam have killed the annotations 😭
Come to haringey, you'll see if you think guys still dress well.
I've lived in the States and as a general rule. She's right. I'm guessing she wasn't hanging with da hood on da council estate innit!
I hope the pubs are not on your hate list. Better check it out.
❤️❤️😍
Primani!
The cost of Living is fucking serious in UK
Haha call it a creative soft focus, like in those old black and white movies.
London is cool but it does not represent England/Britain. It’s kind of a pseudo place. It’s beautiful but it’s quite different to natural Britain
I completely agree!
When it comes to dress you do see plenty of guys in sports clothes but compared to the U.S. we are generally not as ultra casual particularly when we’re going to restaurants etc. Americans now have the reputation of being some of the worst dressed anywhere but of course that doesn’t apply to everyone.
I think it's really funny that you think people are better dressed in London. Go to Milan, or anywhere in Italy to see what well dressed looks like.
yes but its soulless fashion.
Italian fashion students prefer to study in London I learnt.
VC YT How is it soulless? Yeah there’s tons of Italian students, fashion or non-fashion, all over London
John Small only someone from ltaly would say that, that’s why 80% of your football players move to London. You can’t compare London to Milan, that’s like London to Birmingham.
I liked but no mention of the people, which is the most important
Why would a museum not be free??
Cos they never rarely free at one time. Different governments have different ideas
Zara is the best thing EVER
EVERY boy i know wears a tracksuit XD
It's cause we don't add tax onto everything 😂😂
You were only there for 16weeks, hardly a reflection on those trying to live there permanently and on a average income.
Not all museums are free, i agree some of the larger ones are, but the big attraction, the Tower of London, Madame Tussauds, London dungeon, to name a few cost a lot to visit, especially for a family.

Also I need to know what marketing company this is 🤣

All that we British have is all yours God bless America.
Why are you attempting to correct her?
She didn't say we drive on the wrong side of the road. She said we drive on he "opposite" side, which is true.
As Simon said. She never said 'wrong side'. She specifically said opposite and the reason we drive on the left has absolutely f*ck all to do with Napoleon!
Peter Bentley Actually it has, but you're right in the respect that he overreacted and overcorrected her.
The reason we drive on the left has NOTHING to do with Napoleon!! We drive on the left because it’s all to do with keeping your sword hand free!
In the Middle Ages you never knew who you were going to meet when travelling. Most people are right-handed, so if a stranger passed by on the right of you, your right hand would be free to use your sword if required.

This ‘rule of the road’ was officially sanctioned in 1300 AD when Pope Boniface VIII declared that all pilgrims travelling to Rome should keep to the left.
It is the wrong side when 95% of the people drive the opposite way.
Sweatpants are worn by loads of people just not baggy ones. In my college half of all guys wear them over jeans.
U look very beautiful .
Just like London
Living in Earls Court "WHEN" you were living over here NOT "whenever". That implies that you live/lived in Earls Court on numerous occasions.

How polite of you. I`m sure we mispronounce a lot of their words too.

i do very much appologise,but there is zero best thing about living in london,iv lived and worked there when i was 20 as a welshman,and the value of job is far out weighed by value of standard living
I wish see u when i visit london next time
Iam momo from egypt
And i will b happy if we become friends
maybe your not really American and your European
You are easy to please? are you married??
Who has the most hunky men. ? London or The American guy's...lol.
You are very beautiful
Museums are excellent probably because over the centuries we have pretty much looted the world, to look after them of course..
I couldn't think of a place I'd rather live less. Hideous place.
You are beautiful & can't remember what you talked about💋❤💓💘
Van Go? When you have a tickle in your throat you don't co, you cough, so, Van Gough.
Yes but it's a Dutch word so it doesn't sound like "cough" either.
Go is totally wrong though
TheSleathable You're right, I think the correct pronunciation is something like Van Huh.
TheSleathable The Dutch pronounce it Vincent Van Coch (to rhyme with Coke but with a ch sound at the end)
I fall in love with you
Best things of live in London.... absolutely NOTHING
then why do most British people live there - what an idiot you are.
''most British people live there'' LMFAO who's the idiot, that'd be you VC YT.
London is barely recognisable as English anymore.
Silly !
Completely untrue !
London gives the rest of the UK £30 billion. Be grateful.
This channel is amazing to practice my English listening. I am happy because I found channels like it.
