LONDON TRAVEL TIPS FOR FIRST TIMERS | 40+ Must-Knows Before Visiting London + What NOT to Do!

Very helpful!!! Thank you!

Also taking the tube to the airport is it relatively easy?

Should I bring some British currency? We are going to be in bath for 3 days

Great video ❤

I would say "Each to his own." When I went in 2014, not all stations were with escalators or elevators so I used Heathrow Express (cheaper then) since my accom was near Paddington Station. Can be walked but with luggage, will exert effort but I can't pull/carry due to surgery the previous year (it was an acid-test if I can already resume travelling, thank God I fared well so the following year 2015, I went to Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, Salzburg, Austria for the Sound of Music Tour, then to Prague, Czechia.) Took a cab with minimal fare from Paddington. My accom. has a bus stop at front & a short walk is a tube station. But I utilized mostly buses using my Oyster card where the unused balance was returned to me upon leaving. Likewise, this Kensington area accom is near main Victoria station when I went to Glasgow, Scotland, my hub to go to the Highlands to see Loch Lomond, Lochness, Glencoe, Urquhart Castle, etc. and jump-off point to Ireland. Even drop by Carlisle for Hadrian's Wall and Carlisle Castle where Mary, Queen of Svots was incarcerated & many Roman structures like the Citadel.
Utilized the ORIGINAL London Hop-on, Hop-Off Tour which was cheaper because I booked early before leaving for UK and comfortable as if I rented a chauffeur-driven transportation & was nice because it's valid for 2 days so 1st day I finished the whole round (there are several routings, depends on your interest), came with FREEBIES like on 2nd day I did hop-off at Tower of London FREE entrance, saw changing of the guards plus different towers with torture chambers, the crown jewels, etc. After finishing, boarded FREE the Thames River Cruise and took photos from the ship's perspective. Another FREE ride aboard Emirates Air Line Cable Car now name changed to IFS Cloud Cable Car and saw all of London from above. I didn't use the Tube because there were no escalators, I was taking csre not to walk much and saw when I left London, refurbishments were just beginning like at the Tottenham Court Road station near my 2nd hotel upon arrival from Glasgow, walking distance to Prince Edward Theater where I watched a stageplay. Dunno if ALL stations are now fitted with escalators and elevators.

We are coming to England end of september, we got a railcard because we are visiting 6 cities and Ending in london (4 days) the railcard was actually worth it for the year even through we are only out there 2 weeks. how do i connect oyster card with Railcard?

Is it just me or is she speaking very fast!?!?

Thank you so much!

Can you speak slower?

Nice to watch so useful information. Thanks. Please intimate if there is any option to buy Oyster Travel cards for London, from outside UK, can I apply online for it from India.

Where can I buy laptops in uk or India which will b cheaper?

Can you please talk a little less fast? It's exhausting and stressful to listen to. Little bit slower would mKe it easier for the ear. Wtf.

Thanks for the tip on the Wise card! I always rack up foreign transaction fees. Travelling to Britain and Paris in the next 2 months, so the card will be a lifesaver!

because..
Iam smile no see people London

why?
for me Iris

for me people the past

It's pronounced tju:b and tub.

What if your credit card gets stolen? Than I would like to see your reaction. I still use my oyster card. It's better if this gets stolen than a credit card. So not a good recommendation to use a credit card

You missed the Elizabeth line. Were you really in London? If you were, you would've mentioned it.

I'd appreciate if speak slower next time. I've been to London more than 30 times but I would like to see what you recommend.

I love visting London during the christmas season. It's wonderful with the lights in Regents street and co.

I'm good, I wanted to go to London to meet and talk to people, but now that I'm hearing it's just some globalist cashless society BS I don't really want to

Thank you for giving so much interesting information in such a short video. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Not sure if anyone has already mentioned it in the comments. You forgot to mention the best way to get into London from Heathrow is to use the new Elizabeth line. It also has Air con

In regards to #40. Can you also take of the discretionary service charge when using the QR-coded pubs?

Enjoyed the video but boy you talk fast lol. Have you considered doing a video on things to do in December in either London or the best places to visit in England in December, thanks

Was in London in September 2018 to meet up with friends. They took us to the BEST restaurant we went to in our 2 weeks there, Giuseppe’s Restaurante. It was amazing and owner was great

When you are trying to determine how long to stay, you loose 2days just based on traveling in and traveling out..London is a beautiful city but England is more beautiful. To see England (day trips)You have to rent a car. If you do, try to rent at least 2mths in advance with a good cancelation policy. I am renting a car for 10days (next month)for 400$. Last trip it took me 24hrs to adjust and I prefer a manual . You can find great hotel rates outside of London in cities such as Bromley or Bexleyheath which offer free parking. If you have to see Big Ben (again)park on the street in a town like west dulwich, walk to the train station and go anywhere within 30min (no buses). This trip I will be hanging out in Brighton, StoneHenge, Hastings and Cardiff. I will still visit London, but I won’t be seeing Big Ben (again).

Not Paddington express but Elisabeth line is better and has AV
