About Love and London:
I'm Jess, I've lived in London for many years, and this channel is a London travel guide for anyone visiting the city that wants to experience it like you live here. Beyond talking about the usual London attractions, I show you some of the cooler things to do in London, that most travel guides don't mention. Watch my videos and you'll feel like you've got a Londoner friend telling you the best kept secrets in the city.
Mentioned in the video:
Handel and Hendrix Museum
Fashion and Textile Museum
Museum of Brands and Packaging
Garden Museum
Leighton House Museum
NLA (New London Architecture)
The Foundling Museum near Russell Square is free and interesting. Sir Soane's museum is also free and amazing, it's like a mini British museum with some paintings. They do free tours everyday and they have monthly candlelight evenings. The fan museum is also interesting, but it's in SE1 I think near the Tower Bridge.
The Fan Museum is in Greenwich, London SE10.
Hi, Jess, I've lived near London all my life and I've never heard of any of them. Very interesting. You produce excellent, informative videos. Looking forward to your next video soon
Cool!
WOW! The Brands and Packaging Museum looks great!
Thanks for this one. The Leighton museum looks fab. I'm moving back after a few years away, there's been a lot of umming and ahing, watching your videos has made me feel more positive about moving back.
I'm going to all of these museums thanks. 😊👍 I love expanding my knowledge of art, textiles and everything else.
Thank you! Now I know where all the cool museums are in London love the museum of fashion and textiles!!
What a refreshing take on some of the more obscure museums of London, nicely presented by someone knowledgeable, I've subscribed already!
Great video Jess. I’ve seen all these museums and loved every one 👍🏻
I've lived in London for years and I love watching your videos to find new stuff to do! I'm not working this week so I think I will check out some of these museums! Thanks Jess!
Ah that's great to hear Alex, love when Londoners find new things to do! Thanks for watching.
This is a great video for first timers or "regulars" like my wife and I (we try go to London on holiday about every three years).
I just enjoy and look forward to each video I enjoy seeing London though your eyes .. I have all my friends look at your channel whan know they are going to London
Jess, great video! Thank You! I'll be in London again March 2020. I'm taking my 18yr nephew for his graduation present. You have given me several new ideas to show him around while we are in the City 👍
Wow, the Garden Museum looks interesting and I will add Leighton House to my next trip itinerary!
Great video! I’ve never heard of any of these and they all look so interesting.
The William Morris Museum is one of ma fav places and love the fact you included museum fashion and Textiles!! Oh and Museum of Docklands is also an interesting place
Brilliant video!
Good job.. I have been to London several times and these are new to me. Thanks!
Great Video Jess! I live in London and have only been in 1 of these museums. That's a couple of weekends sorted out for us now. 😁
Thank you very much, best guide.🙏🏽😊 we are waiting more videos 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thanks Yunus! Check out the other videos on my channel in the meantime, there are HUNDREDS :)
The Sir John Soane museum is well worth checking out, for me the best small museum to visit
Good tip
amazing, thank you! I just moved back to london for my second year of uni and i always feel so guilty being bored when im *in London*
Lovely video, Jess! I've never heard of any of these museums before and now I'm intrigued to visit all of them. 😀 Another example of a lesser-known museum (I think it's not famous) is the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology in the premises of University College London. If you are into Archaeology it's really worth a visit. It's quite small but I enjoyed my visit very much. 😄
Horninam Museum in Forest Hill is my favourite museum after the obvious ones.
Yes, it is a very interesting museum.
I've just been to the main ones like Tate Modern, British Museum, Warner Bros Studios etc. but would love to see that fashion one!
I've been to Leighton House Museum and it is gorgeous, definitely recommend
Love this! Been to London many times, but I didn't know about most of these. Added to my list for my next London trip! The NLA looks really cool! Thanks so much for sharing!
You're welcome!
@@loveandlondon Happy Travels!
Interesting! Thank you!!
Hello Jess! I have been to London many times but I never heared about any of these museums. I was in London for 3 days and watched this video. I went to the Handel & Hendrix museum yesterday and had a great time there! Thanks and keep these video’s coming!
Greetings from Amsterdam, the Netherlands
So glad you enjoyed the recommendation! Thanks for letting me know :) More videos coming every single week!
Loved this video ❤️
Thanks for watching!
I would also recommend Dr Johnson's House in Gough Square, just off Fleet Street, the amazing John Soane Museum nearby in Lincoln's Inn Fields and the Wallace Collection in Manchester Square.
John soane museum is a real delight! So unique! Can't wait to go back
You have given me some more little ones to visit when I'm there in Dec. (I was hoping 'Coronated' would be in your outtakes.)
The Wallace Collection in Manchester Square is really good. Also Sir John Soane's house.
Good reccs!
Well done! 6 recommendations in 6 minutes! Just enough information to help me decide if I'm interested--thank you. I'm assuming/hoping that all of these wonderful places have weathered the pandemic. Thanks again!
Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching !
I'd never heard of any of them. Nice video and I'm going to have to see them this summer
Enjoy!
All look very cool and interesting . Want to visit them now on next trip . You were right , with the exception of one , I had never heard of them ! Informative as usual . BTW , love the " bloopers " at the end of each video . Bride v Pride ! Made me chuckle . Cheers .
Thanks Colin!
The Canal Boat Museum is also pretty cool & just a 5min walk from Kings Cross/St.Pancras :) Cheers from Nova Scotia!
Cool, now that's a museum I've truly never heard of before.
Hi Jess, I always watch your videos on London, your knowledge is really accurate and comprehensive. Would it be fair to say you now know more about London than your home city?
This video is amazing, I wish I had seen this before went to London
for next time. Thanks for watching!
Thanks & Love ! LONDON !
Great video this one
When Corona ends and I have a chance to travel to London, I really want to visit the museum introduced in the video.
Which one?
@@loveandlondon Garden museum
Nice job.
Thanks a lot for such a great video. It's very interesting!!! And cool !!! You're super nice :-)
Glad you liked it!
Weird coincidence - I was at the Garden Museum the day this video was uploaded. Great spot, and thanks for these others - can't believe I didn't know some of them!
Nice!
Very interesting 🙂
Thanks for watching Susan!
I've never heard of these ones, I'd like to visit the brands and packing museum 😀
I don't know if it still exists but in 1990 we happened upon a small mechanical museum. It was full of mechanical toys that you could put a coin in to see them work. My favorite was the mechanical podiatrist. I had to take off my shoe and put it in the machine. The "podiatrist" mechanical robot examined my foot and gave me a diagnosis! It was one of the coolest places I have ever been. I was in London in 2019 but did not get a chance to look for it.
I think you would call them clockwork machines. It was the best place I visited on that trip!
Do you mean the V&A Museum of Childhood? They have toys from many different centuries!
@@loveandlondon , no, it was somewhere in the Covent Garden area.
Cool video, I will definitely check one of these out when I'm in London next month. Also at 2:20 you can see the "f*cking legend" meme on the right xD
Thanks for watching!
Yes, the Handel/Hendrix House is wonderful. I visited there last month. But now I want to see the Leighton and museum with the advertising/brand products.
=
I love this video! Great museum ideas for a museum lover like myself! Also, the new intro is really great!
Ah thanks so much! Glad to hear you like it :)
Could you do a video on things to do in Kingston
What about the Flinders petrie museum truly marvelous
Awesome
Thanks for watching!
could you talk about english language school in london,please. I like too much all your videos, because i love london, thanks
whats the nail polish colour???? its very nice PLEASE REPLY ASAP!!!!!!! gd video too ty
I wish you had done this video a year ago! Very interesting and informative.
If you are visiting Leighton House, know that photography & videotaping are not permitted. (This practically killed me, because the house is incredibly beautiful inside. You are permitted to take photos outside, though.) There are security cameras everywhere, and the staff have a big monitor at the desk that they keep their eye on.
Makes the visitors actually enjoy the place instead of just photographing it for Insta :)
Brand and packaging 👍🏻on my to do list
lovely! Such a nice little spot
Take the 176 out to the Horniman Museum. 176 goes down Charing Cross Road.
Great video! Are this museums free of charge? There's so much to do in London! It's gonna be really hard to plan the trip...
I believe they are all ticketed. Yes so much to do! Have you seen my 3-Day London Itinerary? loveandlondon.com/3-day-london-itinerary
nice
I'd add the dickens museum to the list its excellent
What is the name of that Caribbean black museum that you went to? I’ve looked all over and I can’t find the name for it. Thank you love your videos they’ve helped me out a lot!
Hey Moriah! I talk about it and show it in this video: th-cam.com/video/7tnloVIyOTs/w-d-xo.html&t
Hey Jess!! are any special October events happening in London? like a fun fair/ carnival/ halloween parties? Diwali celebrations?? I'm travelling from 23rd to 6thnovember with my parents.
thank you!!
Check my "Special Events Happening in London in November" video :)
Hey from India..your videos are rad. Please do a video for a family holiday in the last week of December
That's very specific! :)
@@loveandlondon true that..maybe something more generic...about how to enjoy the best of London before bidding adieu to 2019
$:00 I visited Leighton House Museum a few years ago. I love the Middle Eastern interior inside. Unfortunately, no photograph is allowed.
I love that though... much more peaceful without people running around taking pics!
Hello please please tell me iam making a visit to London for 5 days from 18th October I just want to know is it too cold to travel during the month of October
There's a weather guide in my London Packing Guide: loveandlondon.com/london-packing-guide
Hi there,we are from india and visiting london end of this month.is london pass along with travel card worth to buy and whats the best sim card for tourist in uk?
Watch my videos about both of those topics for help.
Be great in the future if you included a convenient list in the desc of each option, perhaps with a referral link if they give you one :)
There already is a list in description! :)
@@loveandlondon Noticed haha thanks. Be worth looking into referral schemes, though!
We keep things like this editorial so that it doesn't impact what we recommend.
My favourite Museum is the Natural History Museum
That's a pretty popular one!
Check out forest hill
I watched your video about The comparison between living in London and New York. Can you please tell me how much taxes they deduct from the average worker for healthcare since it’s free in London. Also, does the free healthcare cover patients who are diagnosed with serious diseases, such as cancer, or serious surgeries?
I am coming to uk in December. I definitely going to visit some of these museums. Is there groups of people traveling around uk to join? It will be nicer to travel with people. I intend to explore for a month. Walking around towns, corners and hiden old shops
I mean there are of course group tours you can book :) In London, these are the companies I recommend using: loveandlondon.com/london-tours-recommend/
@@loveandlondon airbnb is good. There are a lot of interesting activities. I think while visiting city like london you should take your time, feel the place. 1 day to visit old book shop, 1 day to site in small and quiet coffee shop, other day to learning something new (in london i am learning to make tea and sweets), visiting a farm, walking by the river, and while shopping get something special (i am getting john lobb shoes).
I went to the NLA to check out the air pollution. A giant skull and crossbones appeared over my area, and the death star music from Star Wars started playing.
Ahhah pretty much!
Hey I hope you'll answer my question because I really want to know. Do the Warner Bros Studios Harry Potter show the real sets where some scenes were filmed? Or did they just build it like in the movie. I wanna go there but only if it's real. 🙈
Gzemis - hi they have dismantled the real sets and then rebuilt them all close together so that you can visit them easily. Some like the great hall set, knockturn alley etc are where they were originally. Hope that helps.
What’s the name of the place in the thumbnail??
Leighton House Museum (it's in the video)
Like and hi form isreal
Why no one wear mask?
Check the date of this video....?
