I’m from the US and have been to London 6 times and have watched countless travel videos about the area and by far, this is the best, most complete and useful one I’ve seen. Well done Chris. 👍
I went to london during the coronation in order to witness history : Londoners and cab drivers were a charm when I needed the most . I went to london this past October and I had a sublime time on my European trip . Claudia . Austin Texas
Another way to get into London from Heathrow is by taking the Elizabeth line. It also takes you to Paddington but then goes further and goes right through Central London and stops at stations such as Bond Street, Tottenham Court Road and Liverpool Street.
Travelling into London - most expensive to the cheapest: 1. Taxi (on the plus side it's door to door, on the downside it will be about £100 during rush hour) - 2.Heathrow Express (book ahead it's cheaper, but still VERY expensive) - 3. Elizabeth Line (cheaper but with less luggage space - good if you are staying near Paddington) - 4. Tube (the cheapest option, from £5.50 and there's more stops, the downside - there's more stops, it takes ages, there's zero luggage space and at it's a regular commuter line - so rush hour is hell). Coaches (National Express ex) are also an option but it will take you into Victoria coach station
We love this video. There is such good up to date information in it. Before COVID we used to travel to London on a regular basis. We just returned to London recently after a 4 year absence. My husband tried Malaysian food on our recent trip and fell in love with it. We ate at a Malaysian restaurant in the Bermondsey area of London called Sentosa. The laksa and nasi goreng are excellent. It’s good to know that London is a good place for Malaysian food and that there are other good Malaysian restaurants in London. I hope that we can also visit Dishoom the next time we return to London.
Nice shout out on Malaysian food there.. Thank you so much for the tips and this wonderful video. Me and my family will be in London in January and looking forward to some of the places that you suggested.
Avoid these times on Trains: morning: 7:30 AM-9:30 AM/evening: 4 PM-6:30 PM - you'll also pay more, so travel outside these time - also note that the Tube lines normally stop around midnight or earlier (although there are some night tube lines open that run at night. If you miss that you'll need to use the Night Bus or use a Taxi (avoid all unlicensed taxis)
I like visiting London by Train as I only live two hours away. its a great place to walk and to use the underground. Also keep phone use to minimum when out and about there have been many thefts but i have never seen anything happen when i have been there. just be aware of your surroundings, i do the same in any U.S city too. my next trip is San Diego in Feb so was watching your video of that
We love you chris. Wow this Truely has to be the best London guide travel video I seen. Not just saying that. Like I said I'm 4 hours way from it and never been so for someone in the US to do this video is something huge and you could not be more informative, I learnt alot from it. I always said I wanna go but it's the price of the hotels that knock me away but I'm definitely gonna make it happen especially after seeing this video. You are a true TH-cam legend 😊
Chris, fantastic video! I’m from London myself and still watched it all the way through to get your perspective on the place and you’ve done an amazing job… One thing I will say though for next time is some pronouncing the following Covent Garden (Cov-unt) Tottenham (tot-num) Buckingham (buck-in-um) There’s definitely a few more but I’d have to watch the whole video back again and write them as I go. Next time you’re in London you should do a meet and greet. The wife and I are really impressed with how well you’ve done in this video. So much work. Great job.
Two things to add: The UK now requires a ETA (electronic travel authorization). And if you are traveling with a child 11 - 15, rather than using a different credit card for the buses and tubes, get a Young Discount Oyster card. These are available at manned tube stations where an agent will confirm the identity of the young person and adjust the Oyster card to charge half fare.
Wow 🤩 I am really impressed by this video 😊 and I want to go to London again!! It was July 2017 when I was there but only spend two days there so I feel that I have missed out a lot.. especially after watching this video 😂 and thank you very much for your advice on travel 🧳 to London ❤
Very useful video packed with essential information about London. Didn't feel like an hour. One thing I would highlight even more than you did is that you will be doing a LOT of walking. I did 20 kilometres one day, but was worth the sore feet. I was there in November as well. Would have lived to pick up a fellow explorer sticker. Maybe next time.
Have to say I get annoyed with Americans thinking British food is not good. We do more than deep fry or bbq stuff so perhaps our taste buds are more advanced!
Hi Chris, Thanks for sharing great info. I want to download an Citymapper on Iphone but I want to know is it free of charge? and if it's not, do you know how much do I have to pay for it? Please let me know. Thanks Chris!
When I wear a fake or knockoff of kislux , I feel proud knowing that I am not spending unnecessary money and I can look good while proudly supporting my family. As for the owners of designer brands, they have it all. There is no need to support them.
Funny to watch this while visiting London. Was supposed to beto tree days, but with weather-induced cancellation and rebooking of my flight, it’s basically down to two days (leaving 8:40 am instead of 5:50 pm)😢
Hi. Sorry this is a long comment but it might be useful to people who don’t know much about London. London (just London, not any area outside its borders) covers an area of just over 606 square miles (the City of London and the 32 London boroughs). One London Borough has city status (City of Westminster), and 3 London Boroughs have royal borough status (Royal Borough of Greenwich, Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames). The remaining 28 boroughs don’t have any additional status and are just referred to as London boroughs. All 606 square miles plus is legally, politically and geographically London (not the wider metropolitan area outside of London), so London’s population is roughly 8 million people (15 million may include people outside London’s more than 606 square miles). To be clear about London’s 6 international airports, what that means is that 6 international airports use London’s air space, but only 2 of them are actually located within London’s borders - London Heathrow (the largest in the London Borough of Hillingdon) and London City (the smallest in the London Borough of Newham). All of the 8 Royal Parks (totalling an area of more than 5,000 acres) are located within London’s borders (from The Green Park which is the smallest at 47 acres in the City of Westminster, to Richmond Park which is the largest at 2,500 acres in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames.) All other public parks and public gardens are owned and operated by the London Borough that they are located in (or the City of London Corporation if within the City of London’s 1.12 square miles / 711 acres) or by the City of London Corporation where it owns and operates public open spaces within one of the 32 London Boroughs or even outside London’s borders in the surrounding counties. For instance the City of London Corporation owns and operates Hampstead Heath even though it’s located in the London Borough of Camden (main heath) and the London Borough of Barnet (extension) totalling 790 acres, West Wickham Common in the London Borough of Bromley, and Epping Forest in the London Borough of Waltham Forest, the London Borough of Redbridge and (outside London) the county of Essex, totalling some 5,900 acres of ancient woodland. The City of London Corporation also owns buildings and other structures outside the City of London, such as Tower Bridge, which is located, on the north bank, in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets (where the Tower of London is also located) and, on the south bank, in the London Borough of Southwark. By the way, the version of London Bridge currently there is the 3rd stone version and there were several wooden versions before then, starting with the Roman built one some time after the Romans arrived on these shores in the year 43. Londinium covered an area of approximately 330 acres in Roman times and was abandoned after the Roman legions were withdrawn to protect Rome in the year 410. The 330 acres were resettled in the year 886 by Alfred the Great, King of Wessex and later King of the Anglo-Saxons (King Charles III is a grandson many times over of Alfred the Great). Alfred the Great’s grandson, King Athelstan of the Anglo-Saxons, became the first King of the English in the year 927. King Charles III is a grandson many times over from his younger brother, Edmund, who became the second King of the English in 939. Westminster Abbey was consecrated in December 1065 and the first English King to be buried there was Edward the Confessor in January of 1066. The first confirmed coronation of an English king took place there on 25 December 1066 with the coronation of William I, Duke of Normandy (known as William the Conqueror). King Charles III is also a grandson many times over of William the Conqueror. By the way only the Tube station is called King’s Cross St Pancras station. The railway stations are 2 separate stations called (you guessed it) King’s Cross station and, separately, St Pancras station. Also note that the Elizabeth line is a railway, not the Tube, although both are Transport for London (TfL) public transport systems, so it will have different fares to the Tube. Also, in Taxis (black cabs) luggage can go in the space next to the cab driver as there is no front passenger seat, which leaves 5 (not 3) seats in the back for passengers (or 6 in larger ones). All black cabs and TfL public transport (buses, trams, London Underground (also known as the Tube), London Overground, Docklands Light Railway, Elizabeth line, river buses (the ones with the Uber sponsorship currently on the sides, but note they are TfL run, not Uber), the Woolwich free ferry (foot and vehicle passengers), the Cable Car) are fully accessible - however note that the Tube, Overground and Elizabeth line access into stations or to platforms or from platforms onto the trains are not always accessible. It depends on the age of the station and if it’s been upgraded or not yet. The same with the UK’s National Rail train services and stations. The only reason you get bad food is if you insist on going to rip off tourist traps. Go off the beaten track and go somewhere the locals go to and the food (whether British or international) is good and good value. Most of this reputation in the USA came from World War II when food was severely rationed and many previously available foods and flavourings were not available. BTW it’s the pound, the British pound or the pound sterling, not the Great British pound. A plea to Americans (1) don’t do your “comedy” London/English/British accents (it’s nails down a chalk board). Accents in the UK change roughly every 30 miles or so and so there’s more than one accent just in London. (2) posh people don’t stick their little fingers in the air when drinking (I’ve been to a garden party at Buckingham Palace and none of the Royal Family did that - they tucked their fingers not holding the tea cup underneath the base of the cup). Don’t do that thinking you’ll look posh. 😊 If you want something extra with your food or drink (condiments or ice) just ask. It’s not that they’re not available. Same with service. They don’t want to be in your face or rush you so just get their attention and call them over. Simple. No, people do say thanks but we also say cheers (it’s slang). We say French fries when they’re French fries. We call chips (like fish and chips) chips (I think you might call them steak fries?). Yes we speak English in England. We literally created the language (and as you said London is the capital of England and the UK (United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) as a whole). Note that there are more than 200 languages spoken by children in London schools because we have communities from all over the world living here, as well as visiting here. Sorry about all the comments, but I’m a Londoner born and raised and have spent the past 29 years working in London local government, and I want visitors to enjoy London as much as I do. Don’t listen to those who say London is too crowded and too expensive - they’re only speaking about the central tourist areas which only covers about 1% of London. 😊 Also remember that the Household Division of the British Army (the 5 regiments of Foot Guards and the 2 regiments of Household Cavalry) are full time normal professional soldiers (infantry and tank regiments respectively) but they also do tours on ceremonial duties along with their normal military duties at home and abroad (including fighting in conflicts). They are not actors in costumes at theme parks so please don’t harass them when they are performing guard duty. The household cavalry in particular also have Ministry of Defence armed police at Horse Guards as that is military land and they will detain, remove or arrest you if you harass the soldiers or their horses. Hope that’s helpful. I hope no offence is taken as none is meant - only trying to add explanation or make a correction for next time. I did enjoy your video.😊
I just need to show up when ur there with Topher and let you be the guide... I feel like you missed a few adult things..... like what times the pubs close "when they stop serving beer" and if theres any adult entertainment aka gentlemen's clubs
It’s easy to make, it’s pancake batter, put in a big roasting tray (pre heated with a teaspoon of oil to very hot) and poured in. Put in oven until sides are browned. Otherwise in bun tins, small amounts of oil in each section, extremely hot, put in hot oven till risen x

Have a look at hotels farther out, probably cheaper and its not hard to travel into the centre by tube
@terrym3837 really. I never been there so I'm kinda new. I will definitely look into others. Thank you 😊
Chris, fantastic video! I’m from London myself and still watched it all the way through to get your perspective on the place and you’ve done an amazing job…
One thing I will say though for next time is some pronouncing the following
Covent Garden (Cov-unt)
Tottenham (tot-num)
Buckingham (buck-in-um)
There’s definitely a few more but I’d have to watch the whole video back again and write them as I go.
Next time you’re in London you should do a meet and greet.
The wife and I are really impressed with how well you’ve done in this video. So much work. Great job.

Thanks for sharing this with us 😊😊😊
My pleasure Debbie!
Just came back from London a couple weeks ago. The venchi truffles in Harrods were about €8-9! So worth it though!
Mmm
Great vid and tuber
A video on great City Paris is eagerly awaited from you
Paris is definitely on our list to re-visit

Thanks Michael and for the addition on how much walking it is
September is the best time to visit London
Yahoo, saved it to my playlist on You tube!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sweet 😀
We haven't had £1 notes for about 40 years.
Aww welcome to the UK and my home town ❤ x
Thanks Tracey!
Really well researched video. Also, you look like a young Gene Hackman.
Thanks ventricity!
Great videos thanks 😊
Have to say I get annoyed with Americans thinking British food is not good. We do more than deep fry or bbq stuff so perhaps our taste buds are more advanced!
I'm heading there in May and am keen for some Yorkshire Pudding.
YOU ALWAYS TIP OUR CABBIES!
Hi Chris, Thanks for sharing great info. I want to download an Citymapper on Iphone but I want to know is it free of charge? and if it's not, do you know how much do I have to pay for it? Please let me know. Thanks Chris!
Yes citymapper is free

The cab driver at 11:33 ain't that super knowledgeable about London as he's driving round Edinburgh in that shot!!
Hah...
The reason why the West and East End got there name is that's where London used to end - after that it was countryside
Funny to watch this while visiting London. Was supposed to beto tree days, but with weather-induced cancellation and rebooking of my flight, it’s basically down to two days (leaving 8:40 am instead of 5:50 pm)😢
Bummer!
@ you bet! I don’t think I heard it from you, but I already had “Dishoom” on my restaurant list, but didn’t manage to go… maybe next time
Beautiful
thank you
Covent Garden has a hard O as in Pop.
Hi Chris. Have you climbed to the top of St Paul's Cathedral?
Yes. But probably like 20 years ago

Wow Marianne! I appreciate the extra tips! You clearly love London 😀
London actually has the biggest theatre scene in the world - 1 million seats
Thanks for that clarification
I just need to show up when ur there with Topher and let you be the guide... I feel like you missed a few adult things..... like what times the pubs close "when they stop serving beer" and if theres any adult entertainment aka gentlemen's clubs
Thanks.. yeah. Well. When I'm traveling with a 4 year old I'm in bed before the pubs close 😴
The restaurants in Chinatown like to be paid in cash so they can reduce their income tax bill by not declaring all their income.
In Singapore China town I had to pay to use the toilet and pay for the toilet paper
Yeah. You mean at the Chinatown Hawker Center? It's like 10 cents if I recall
There is nothing wrong with our food! Stay away from fast food is the answer!
Even Fish and Chips... Going in May and am am keen for some Yorkshire Pudding.
It’s easy to make, it’s pancake batter, put in a big roasting tray (pre heated with a teaspoon of oil to very hot) and poured in. Put in oven until sides are browned. Otherwise in bun tins, small amounts of oil in each section, extremely hot, put in hot oven till risen x
the London bridge was falling down and now its in Lake Havasu Arizona... pass through there when headed to Vegas
Never get a paper ticket on the tube - utter rip off
20% Tax smfh
That taxi driver needs to re-,take his test, looked like he was in Edinburgh 🤣
