In 1976, TJ Maxx was founded in Framingham, Massachusetts, United States, by Bernard Cammarata. The first international store opened in Bristol, UK, in 1994. The company modified the name to TK Maxx to avoid confusion with the established British retail chain T. J. Hughes (which is not affiliated with TJX).

I can assure you both that Westminster Abbey is far older than the age you mentioned. It's construction started in 1245, in the reign of Henry III. Westminster Hall, which is next to the Abbey, dates from even earlier, to the reign of William 'Rufus' II, who had it built in 1097.

You must have read about the Lady Chapel at the East End of Westminster Abbey which was a late addition finished in about 1520. For gothic architecture that's LATE! 😆 As Gig said, most of Westminster Abbey was built in the 1200's and 1300's

The first church on the site is known to have been built in 960sAD, but there is some literary and archaeological evidence that suggests it was the site of the massive Roman-Christian Londinium basilica built in the 4th Century AD but then partially destroyed as a kind of punishment for the "barbarica conspiratio" ("great conspiracy" - a nationwide tribal rebellion) in Britain which began around 367AD. The point is - it's a very important place, historically!

I had a holiday job in the fabric department of Liberty in Regent Street and was offered full time, but turned it down because I didn't fancy the commute in by tube!! It's lovely seeing familiar places with new eyes. I moved to Australia for several years and when I came back I fell madly in love with my old country. many years later I still feel it. There may be difficulties but the core beauty, history, greenness is still there.

@@EECCTravels Due to the KZbin genies, you cropped up today and I have been enjoying your good humoured and guileless appreciation of our wonderful capital city - thus, I shall try not to be too vexed (thereby perversely negating my own enjoyment of your enjoyment!) by an honest, but ever so slightly sloppy mistake - allow me to explain, if you would? By the way, before doing so, we got most of the first video seeing you catch a flight then getting stuck in traffic in the world's most expensive cab. In part 2 we got to see you leave the hotel in the middle of the afternoon and then after blowing through Piccadilly (not Piccadilly Street), Trafalgar Square and Whitehall, see you miss your Parliament and Westminster Abbey tours! Hmmmppphhh! Anyway, so already feeling a little short changed, when you went to visit the Abbey, you correctly identified that St Margaret's is indeed closely associated with Westminster Abbey and that it was "built in 1523". For sure, it was certainly finished that year but even the incredible master masons and builders of the age could not do it in 12 months! I know you only have a limited number of minutes, seconds even, but I feel that the start date of 1486 is just as important, as is the fact a church had previously stood on the site since the 11th Century. But that is a minor quibble which, had my complaint been limited to that, would have passed me by with a shrug and a wry half sigh half smile as I muttered simply "Americans!" My real exasperation, which you will I am sure be happy to hear, I am mostly already over 😏 occurred at the point where, during the mention of that church's already impressive ancientness, you pan your shot up and down the bloody Great North Door of the Abbey proper!!!!! While I was generous enough earlier to acknowledge your identifying not only significant proximity, also much shared religious, cultural and political history with the closely associated St Margaret's - they are nevertheless still different buildings! VERY different buildings! Westminster Abbey is on a site that had already for six hundred years, starting during Saxon times in the 7th Century, seen people worship there by the time King Henry III decided he wanted a more spectacular church to house the remains of Saint King Edward the Confessor with whom he had become a bit obsessed. Edward had already knocked down the previous building of 960 to make way for his own Norman/Romanesque replacement, consecrated about a year before his death in 1066 but not finished til 1090. That "new" building in turn, Henry had demolished in 1245 to make way for the magnificent structure which exists today but which you only "glimpsed momentarily from the outside" while simultaneously referring to it as St Margaret's and mentioning a five hundred year history when in fact a over a thousand is nearer the mark. Whilst there are parts of the Abbey which were not finished until the 18th Century - most notably the mighty twin West Towers by Nicholas Hawksmoor (although in fact it can be argued construction of completely new parts of the Abbey continues to this day and indeed the current Surveyor of the Fabric, Ptolemy Dean, designed and had built in 2015 a small tower to house the lifts enabling wheelchair access to the Eastern Triforium) - the North Door which your shot captured, was probably finished no later than 1260 which makes it nearer 800 than 500 years old and the Pyx Chamber in the crypt is known to have survived from Edward's Romanesque structure, dating from 1060. It is even known with certainty there are still eleventh century tiles on the floor in there. Instead, while everyone watching was undoubtedly sympathetic to your tiredness from jet lag and therefore sleeping in, we had to endure seeing you "eat eggs". This in and of itself seems a wasted opportunity since the impression given was that it is a franchise you have already experienced elsewhere. At least go and eat a proper Full English at The Chop House for a really deluxe version or experience "real Englishness" at a neighbourhood "greasy spoon" - our inauspicious sounding but fondly meant term for a small, usually family run cafe that you might term a "diner". The point being that while I acknowledge being in the minority in having such specialist knowledge, Westminster Abbey seems too central to London - and Britain - to gloss over and "get wrong". We all love and appreciate food, but I cannot be alone in feeling that, history buff or not, if we were only going to get two parts, they may have been better focused on Parliament and the Abbey rather than more shots of hunger being sated at a bland franchise, otherwise you might just as well have gone to the McDonald's you remarked on in Part 1.... That actually sounded much more cross than I was - well, hey ho, ever mind, consider the exquisitely detailed critique a generous gift and token of appreciation by a native!😆

Pro-tip: if you have a medication that needs to be taken at a specific time each day (ie:birth control) figure out the time change and take your med at the time that would equal the time you take it at home. 8am ATL = 1pm GMT.

Westminster Hall just across from the abbey dates back to the 1100s 😃. The 1500s is not very old for the U.K.

Westminster Abbey originated back pre 1000 AD and not the 1500s. It has been enlarged and updated ever since.

The area we were look at when talking was built in the 1500’s.

Great video! I love London. There is so much to see and do. We were there in 2018 and had a great time.

Thanks for your videos. We will be their next October for a cruise out of Siuthampton. We plan on staying in London a couple of days post cruise. I'm learning as much as I can so I we are well prepared with ground transportation and how to get around to different things we might want to see. Your videos have been super helpful.

Hi again, just loving your videos of London 🇬🇧 thank you for sharing. I just wanted to share some tips to help beat jetlag next time you fly eastbound across the Atlantic, so you make the most of each and every day without waking up at 3pm! Most transatlantic flights depart early evening through late evening US time, landing early morning through early afternoon UK time. There are, however, daily early morning flights direct from Chicago and New York to London, arriving around 8pm-10pm UK time. You lose a full day travelling but you suffer no jetlag as you arrive in the UK at bedtime and go straight to sleep, waking up fresh and full of energy. No naps, no trying to stay awake throughout the day, ZERO jetlag. I've done it and I recommend it. I literally woke up at 4.30am in 5th Avenue, New York, caught my British Airways flight departing JFK at 8.30am, landed in London at 7.30pm and was in bed well before midnight! Love to you both 🇬🇧

Too funny. We just missed each other in London - we flew home the day you recorded this video! It's nice that they announce the strikes ahead of time so you can plan accordingly.

Thank you for all of your videos. Great information. We are going on the Celebration Transatlantic cruise and plan on staying a couple of days in London. When you went, did you land in Heathrow and if so, how did you get to London from there. I loved that you were able to walk to so many places. Where did you stay and did you like it? Thanks for your help.

According to the internet...bad source...I know, but still. TJMaxx and TK Maxx are the same. The story is there was a store in UK at the time they first!ened called TJ Hughes and they didn't want people to get confused. Great video btw :) Alisa your face was priceless when you bit into the quesadilla!
