First time walking London streets 23hrs no sleep

Hello..! Long time no see :D
I'm traveling again (finally!) and I am so happy. I will be traveling for a while now so stay in touch..!

There are no jaywalking laws in the UK

[@david31162]

What is jaywalking and is it illegal?

[@EddieBeaumontThomas]

​@@david31162jaywalking is crossing the road where you please, and not using a designated crossing. It's illegal in many countries but not the UK.

[@Oxley016]

illegal in the so called 'land of the free' USA but not the UK. Which one has the freedom then? @@EddieBeaumontThomas 🤔😂

[@JB-ys8ct]

@@david31162 it's when you don't use the zebra crossing (crosswalk) or you cross the road when the traffic lights haven't stopped the cars. it's not illegal to do this in the UK but in countries like the US or Germany it's illegal

[@david31162]

@@JB-ys8ct Thanks, I sort of guessed but didn't know exactly. I also thought I'd seen people accused of this just walking along the side of a road, probably I'm mistaken. Sounds strange only to be able to cross at a designated crossing. Impossible to do without walking miles in much of UK.

[@airlinesecret6725]

Loved your blog, so much more refreshing than the usual London tourist ones, thank you !

Because she's so naive and knowledgeable. Some of it was very cute other times not so cute. In those cases, embarrassing.

I love that you loved exploring my hometown. Please come back and experience more of London and share it on KZbin. It's great to see London through the fresh pair of eyes of a newcomer.

[@peterfhere9461]

The modern building opposite the Houses of Parliament is St Thomas's , one of London's most famous hospitals. It originally was located elsewhere in London and has been providing some form of healthcare since before 1215. It is part of the National Health Service (meaning people are treated there for free) and is also an important teaching hpspital.....

[@philipmason9537]

Jaywalking doesn’t exist in the U.K., you can walk across the road at anytime except on the major highways.

Randomly found this video, as someone who grew up in London (now moved out) it was nice to see it through your eyes. A lot has changed since I was last there. Walking around is definitely the best way to immerse yourself.

[@mikefoster6018]

I live in South London and have been walking about 15km/day with my camera all over the city for several weeks (I'm off work). It's incredible what you find, especially if you go off the common roads. One of my favourites is the 'Thames pathway' on the north side of the Thames, going east from the centre, which is absolutely full of old wharfs etc. You can really feel the history, smell the tide etc. For culture, there are also great high streets like the mod/punk vibe of Camden High Street, or the massively arty and diverse Brick Lane in Shoreditch. And following the canals that run east to west north of the Thames is always fun, with a lot of cool things going on and great architecture etc.

[@denisoleary5302]

Try the Southside. Rotherithe and The Brunel Museam.

[@AndrewStocker]

Enjoy London! Remember to look left when crossing and watch out with your phone / camera as there are moped thieves / thieves in general. Try to keep two hands on phone and be careful when having your phone on a table (keep it in pocket ideally rather than on display) as thieves will come in and place a map / newspaper over it or distract you and then take your phone. But enjoy there's a lot of great things!

[@rectify2003]

You look right, when you start to cross, and left halfway across, and keep looking both ways

[@gmdhargreaves]

Hello! They recently refurbished Big Ben (Elizabeth Tower is the official name). That is why it looks so golden! It was a dirty brown colour but they gave it a good scrub and clean lol! Enjoy London - greatest city on earth IMHO :) (from a Londoner).

The houses of Parliament have just had a complete clean and full restoration. It was a lot darker prior to that. Welcome to the UK😂.

[@JasonL220]

It was only the Elizabeth Tower(/Big Ben) that got the work done, the rest of the palace of Westminster is still a crumbly mess

[@razork1976]

Houses of Parliament recently had a general clean up and Big Ben was serviced. Your lucky it’s so clean!

[@pjh74]

Lived here all my life, knew everywhere you went, but it was so interesting watching it from your perspective, glad you had a good time ☺️

[@TreffpunktZoo]

13:00 what a charming and friendly young person. People like this make me proud to be from London. I hope you return to explore more of our city. I guess you have to see the main tourist sights once, but there are much more interesting and beautiful areas of London than this.

[@oblongmusic3389]

Good to see my home city through your eyes (or lens). I also like to walk around when I visit another city..it’s a much more natural experience than having a set agenda to visit a bunch of sights that everyone else is checking out too..I tend to stay in my own neighbourhood or Borough these days..Thanks for sharing your experiences ..🙏

[@ashleyupshall7641]

Your tour rap is relaxed and different from the usual cliche stuff. Enjoyed it.😊

[@WyeExplorer]

Loved that end to end. Yeah, walking brings you closer for sure. Enjoyed your Asian eating style - there was rhythm in it somehow and what a cool meeting there. Well, good to finish off with a laugh. Good going. Mark

[@jordanparkour3084]

I have literally done that walk from the safe stay and elephant and castle to central London and back my whole life. It’s so interesting watching from your perspective. If you come back, I recommend going the other way towards borough or Waterloo. So many other cool places you missed in this little video.

Afternoon tea is to much food for 1 person. Great vl9g 😊😊😊

[@juliehillman8743]

Glad you had fun visiting London. Just so you know Big Ben is the name of the bell. The building is Elizabeth Tower. The Monument to the Women of World War II, is to honour the millions of women that came forward during the war to cover the jobs primarily done by the men away fighting. Not just the women of the UK and the Commonwealth but all Allied countries. The UK flag is called the Union Jack (or Union flag). Please never feel rushed to leave a restaurant. Nobody would have bothered that you were chatting with the other lady, while giving yourself time to make more room for the rest of your food. It was also nice to see that you felt safe travelling the city in the dark. Hopefully next time you have enough time to visit the rest of our wonderful isle. There is so much more to see and experience. Safe and happy travels.

[@Ashtonishing1812]

You literally walked past and looked at my office on the 2:45 mark! The ugly black office block on the opposite side of the road. Wonder if I was in that day... You're right in that it is a weird mix of urban aesthetics from that vantage. I've often observed that.

It's not called "The metro" it's called "The Underground" here.. and those prices for the all you can eat buffets have gone up a lot with time. In 2012-2013 you could get some for £4.99 or £5.99 eat-in

I hope you enjoyed your stay. There is so much to see and do in this beautiful city. It truly is a special place. When I am walking around, I always comment on the architecture. It is probably my main rant about how these new buildings do not compliment the inherited tapestry of the past. Instead, they want to look like everywhere else, but in doing so, lose its uniqueness.
