I'd recommend taking the 87 bus from outside Charing Cross train station. It goes past many landmarks including Trafalgar square, along the Strand, down Whitehall, past Downing Street, the cenotaph, Churchill war rooms, up to parliament square for big ben and Westminster abbey, then along to Tate Britain. I used to work at Horseferry Road and would get this bus everyday. Really good route for tourists and a lot cheaper than one of those city tour buses

I also recommend using the buses. On my last visit to London I ended up using the buses far more than the tube and I found that I gained a better intuitive appreciation of the layout of the city (how far between places, where things were relative to each other, noticing details I never saw before). Admittedly, the tube is often the faster option, and if the weather is bad it might be more pleasant being underground, but in the tube all you see is a dark tunnel. On a nice day consider taking the bus.

I agree! Sometimes I'll choose bus over tube even if it's about 10 mins longer because I prefer the ride if I can get a seat. Thanks for watching!

Great videos as always :) One tip is that when you get on the bus you don’t have to say where you go, you can simply tap-in your contactless payment card and take the seat for as long as you want. London buses have a single fare across the entire city, so you could take a bus from the edges of London to the centre for the same price as for a journey from one bus stop to the next. This is in response to your comment at timestamp 4:35.

Speaking as a native born Londoner, I can confirm that your channel is the most accurate tourist tour guide channel. Millions of tourists especially Americans spend hundreds and hundreds of unnecessary dollars/pounds when in London or the UK. By following the wrong KZbinrs. Your comment about not buying a "one day travel card" in another video is spot on. You should only buy this ticket/option if you know for certain you will be doing extensive travelling across all four zones, and constantly jumping on and of buses trains and the "Tube". That is making dozens of separate trips in one 24 hour period. The contactless payment on your credit card if it is "contactless" is the best option for a single trip or one or two maybe three single trips in one day. Also the Oyster card is not always the best option. Even though it is widely advertised. For single trips, tap you credit card onto the machine and tap out at the end, you will be charged a much cheaper fare for the single trip. Especially after 9.00am and weekends. Some ticket options are not cheap in the evening if you are travelling out between about 5.00pm and 7.00pm this is because that is the commuters going home rush hour. Although in the centre for the past Forty years Rush Hour has been almost for 24 hours each day. Keep up the good work.

Brooklands - the original race circuit Silverstone, about an hour & half north, both have museums & websites There's a McLaren dealership in Knightsbridge, that sometimes has an F1 car on display - not worth a visit, but if you're nearby. Also could be something at the Science Museum.

SO....in February/March 2023...I'll be visiting UK for a month. Much of that time will be spent traveling, by train, all over England/Scotland, but, I will be starting off with THREE days in London. Will be sure to get the 101 Book! As of right now, I think I'am going to be at a hotel in Chelsea. Though, open to suggestions. Want a location that is easily accessible, as I'll be doing some sightseeing, along with seeing friends ALL OVER the city and surrounding area.

Top tip re. No. 11 bus. Ps re. Discounted theatre tickets you can do this online as well. Eg last December travelled down to Xmas concert at Royal Albert Hall but was able to buy £25 ticket to see Come From Away (a fantastic show, sadly closing in January) on the train down

Gosh. Visiting in November will mean very changeble weather but nothing extreme. It will be jumper weather and you will need a jacket. London has so many visitor attractions, and therefore cover, so an umbrella maybe useful but just bring a fold up handbag size. I think the thing you will notice the most is the shorter days. It's fine but there will be no evening sun. I hope that is helpful. I live about 80 miles west of London. I love it there. In fact I'm going there this weekend with my wife to see an immersive theatre production about the Gunpowder Plot (please Google) and I can't wait. However, please note that London is expensive. I hope you have a wonderful time.

Hi Jess, what are your suggestions for first time London travelers that will be spending 24 hours there like us. We're going to Paris next summer and we plan on taking the Eurostar out of Gare du Nord ay 9 in the morning, spend the day in London, sleep over and visit some more the next day and take the 6pm train back to Paris. There's already a few spots we want to check out like Buckingham Palace, the Beatles crosswalk, the London Transport Museum and have real deal OG fish and chips in a non touristy area. Of course we'll ride a double decker TfL bus and I'll be photographing a lot of them as well. I'll be checking out more videos from your channel. Cheers and Happy New Year from Montreal, QC Canada!

Though the angles make it really hard to get good photographs, so it might be worth paying to go in. The admission is for the whole Royal Observatory, not just the meridian line, and it's a great museum for the sort of geek who wants a picture on the meridian line (hi!). 😀
