Finally after 40 years of my life, I will be landing in London in 6 days. Staying for two weeks. I live in Miami Florida and I am absolutely not prepared for the cold 😅 at all. In fact, I bought my boots today because I only have sandals 😅. Wish me luck. Merry Christmas everyone. 🎄
Don’t worry, It’s very mild in London at the moment (between 7- to 10°) so cold by Florida standards, but you won’t freeze. Hope you have a great trip!
I was in London from 18th-28th Nov. And saw all these places which are featured in this video. Feeling so good, and missing my time there. Your videos really helped me in creating my itinerary. Thanks!
So enjoyable! I know that these represent specific religious traditions, but travelers should consider visiting Westminster Abbey, St. Paul’s Cathedral, or Westminster Cathedral during the holidays. The settings are spectacular, the choirs are astonishing, and cost of attendance is low. Plus, angelic choristers in choir robes is such an English experience.
I have been going to London to visit my sister every year for years now, and every time I go back I watch your videos...and when I miss London, I watch your videos 😂
Came this past March of this year and loved watching your videos to get prepared. I would totally love to come for Christmas it looks beautiful ❤thanks for doing all of these videos!
Excited to be visiting London for Christmas - thanks for the videos and information!!! I will be staying near/across the street from the London Eye!!! Hoping to have a wonderful visit!
🙏🏼I’d love to visit London during the festive season someday. Everything looks so beautiful! So much to see and do! Thank you for sharing! Love the video!❤
Just back from our 2nd visit to London. I would definitely say my favourite time was April at the marathon. Totally different experience without a doubt. The London marathon everyone was happy and hyped it was great. Even on the over filled tubes. This time I was shoved, pushed out the way of photos etc if I hadn’t seen them. Too many people wanting that social media photo over actually having a great time. All in all we still had a fab time. We enjoyed winter wonderland, but I would say Tik tok/ Instagram makes it look better than it actually is. It’s just an over sized Christmas market. Not a negative experience though, just a totally different one from the last visit. The shopping experience and food experience however was absolutely amazing. We do look forward to coming back.
I am planning to visit London for couple days in Christmas time this video was so helpful i saw many videos you doing good keep going I hope meet you there in London merry Christmas 😊
Ok. I am returning to London for the first time in 20+ years and stumbled over your channel as I was looking for how to navigate the transport system ( Oyster card and contactless were not a thing back then). Can I just say well done on your channel, informative, engaging, personable and most importantly entertaining. As far as guides go I would put you up there with Janek and Honza of ‘The Honest Guide’. So again we’ll done and keep up the good work👍
London does the festive season better than any other city in the world... New York Hold My Coffee! haha j/k i'd actually love to experience London right now!
Thanks Jess!!! Nothing like the Holidays in London! You knocked this Best of London Xmas activities vid outta the park!! Always informative, on point and FUN!!!🎄👏🏾
Thanks jess you look like a Million dollars always a blessed humble kind american lady who sends safe advice to visit and stay in London always l be a fan always l won't left behind again on London thanks jess
Ok first off - thankyou for waiting until Dec 1st to put up a Christmas video (I know it’s still the 30th in England but I’m in Australia so 👍🏼) Just annoys me ppl starting Christmas early 😂 Second, I love London ( pun not intended but I like it )and I’m so sad I’m not there now to see all this in person!! So thank u for the next best thing ❤ We were there in late October- only for 3 days but we went to Dishoom in Carnaby based on ur recommendation- thank you it was great and very lucky we had made a booking!! The lights were up @ that point but not yet being switched on 😢 Hopefully we will be back for Christmas there in the not too distant future!! It was my husbands first visit and he also fell in love with London 😍
Hello from Orlando FL. I had a question and was wondering if you could answer it. I am looking to visit London Christmas day thru 12/30 and was wondering how it was there with the current protest situation. My wife is worried about safety with what she has seen on the news. Any thoughts? This would be our Christmas visit.
@@loveandlondon I only ask because we are going there next week and just curious as most afternoons tea place like the savoy and The Wolseley do and I do recommend the The Wolseley near the ritz for afternoon tea.
I really need help! I’m coming to London on January 2024, I’m from Malaysia. Can I get the Oyster card in Heathrow Airport, or I need to book it online before coming to London? Someone help me 😭😭
“You find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.” (Dr Samuel Johnson 1709 - 1784: one of our greatest Englishmen))
I’d suggest looking at the dressed windows of Fortnum and Masons in Piccadilly, which are generally the most artistic of any store, really world-class. Plus the arcades there like the Burlington Arcade and Piccadilly Arcade, which always look great.
Did the Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park this week, damn this was the most expensive "Christmas market" I have ever been, 5 quid to get inside, and then a mulled wine is like 6 to7 GBP what the hell???? In places like Germany or so you get for that price 2 cups of it with more in it haha
Loving the videos. With Christmas, are you able to suggest a good place to go if you are solo travelling on Christmas Day, like an orphans’ Christmas..?
Unfortunately we don't have plans for anything so specific :) but have a look at our already made itineraries! shop.loveandlondon.com/collections/itineraries?+collect+lt
Thanks for your videos. It was amazing. I started learning English some months ago, and at language school we were shown your videos. I try to watch all your videos since that time, and study London

Merry Christmas @enriqueruiz4751 That's so exciting! I wish you an amazing holiday

Remember this never it's too late to pursuit your dreams, I'm so envious but I wish you the best. ❤
Safe flying hun!

❤️❤️
Beautifully captured & exceptionally well-presented, thank y'all! 🙌

It's hard to beat London at Christmas.
Yes ❤️🌲
it snowed today at mid-day 12 pm!! I was in the north london area at the time
Christmas in London is like Christmas in New York City

Only been ice skating once, spent more time on the ice than on my feet, I swear there was a minor earthquake in Chelmsford every time I hit the ice.
I’ll be in London on the 18th🫡 I watched your vids on getting around and I hope I have a great time 🔥
Enjoy! If you need more help with planning what to do be sure to grab one of our guides: shop.loveandlondon.com

It's totally fine and safe, nothing to be worried about
With the afternoon tea can you request extra sandwiches etc
Depends on the place, but it's already a LOT of food!
@@loveandlondon I only ask because we are going there next week and just curious as most afternoons tea place like the savoy and The Wolseley do and I do recommend the The Wolseley near the ritz for afternoon tea.
wait so it's silent "s" in Grosvenor House? :)
yes :) but the doorman said anyone can say it how they want haha
How late in the evening do the lights stay on?
Depends on which ones
I really need help! I’m coming to London on January 2024, I’m from Malaysia. Can I get the Oyster card in Heathrow Airport, or I need to book it online before coming to London? Someone help me 😭😭
Read this! loveandlondon.com/how-to-pay-for-public-transport-in-london/
Yeah, but isn’t quite expensive to travel to London during that time of the year
It is!
“You find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.”
(Dr Samuel Johnson 1709 - 1784: one of our greatest Englishmen))
Yay for being vegetarian
the problem is how to find hotel under 500$ per night during this season :/
If you book in advance it's definitely doable
Are you dating , Jess ? You look so happy
You can be happy from other things besides dating 😂
I’d suggest looking at the dressed windows of Fortnum and Masons in Piccadilly, which are generally the most artistic of any store, really world-class. Plus the arcades there like the Burlington Arcade and Piccadilly Arcade, which always look great.
☃️❄️🧸🎄 4:23 I would've kept Mr. SnowMan as a Tasty Souvenir 🍰🎁☕️🇬🇧😅
It would have melted 😂

Yep
Thank you, it's such a bright story, well-told and shown! I'm gonna watch it with my students of English, they're sure to love it!
Loving the videos.
With Christmas, are you able to suggest a good place to go if you are solo travelling on Christmas Day, like an orphans’ Christmas..?
Agreed, no other Ciry does Christmas like London.
Can’t wait for my trip to London this christmass❤❤❤❤
There’s a film called “The Snowman”? ☃️
❤
Yup!
Hey Jess, could you please release a 7D6N Christmas guide to London for Dec 20-27? I am a clueless Malaysian 😅
Unfortunately we don't have plans for anything so specific :) but have a look at our already made itineraries! shop.loveandlondon.com/collections/itineraries?+collect+lt
You absolutely get it. You would have made a far better American Royal than Megan Markle!
We are huge Megan fans
@@loveandlondon 😬🙈 See if you can give her a few lessons then.
Im going to london next year for the jack the ripper tour and was wondering if you noticed if that bar was still open?
Go gorgeous yet also so fun! London does a magnificent job mixing artistry, technology, lighting and the spirit of Christmas with the decor. 🎄
❤️❤️🌲🌲
really hoping and praying to do this with my boyfriend
As a former competitive ice skater, I approve of this video hahaha.
Baha
Thanks for your videos. It was amazing. I started learning English some months ago, and at language school we were shown your videos. I try to watch all your videos since that time, and study London
You're welcome ! ❤️
Merry Christmas to you 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁
I’m surprised that after living in London for some years, you haven’t been converted into automatically saying ‘scone’ the way the locals say it 🤷♀️
There isn't a correct way to say it, even the Brits can't agree on how to say it
HAPPY NEW YEAR, Jess! ¡Feliz Año Nuevo! 🎆🍷 😉😎
You too!
Thank you for this very pretty video. I really enjoyed seeing your Christmas-themed things to do!
Glad to hear it :)
