Thanks for sharing your adventure!

[@rvlewau8713]

Our pleasure! Thank you for watching our video!

[@terrymacdad8742]

I'm sooo jealous it's my dream to visit London 😭

[@johnzick8771]

As a single Dad who traveled with his young teenagers... I love this video. You've done a great job raising your kids. Happy travels!

[@pipercharms7374]

If you ever go back to London again, I reccomend Covert Garden and Camden Market, too try lots of different foods! And also reccomend the natural history museum.

[@rvlewau8713]

Thank you for your suggestions! We will be sure to put those on the list when we go back to visit again!

[@lorddaver5729]

Covent Garden, not Covert Garden...

[@vale-y1i]

I hope you had a fantastic time here in the UK. I really enjoyed watching your video. 😀🙌🙏

[@rvlewau8713]

We definitely enjoyed our time in London, we can't wait to come back! Glad you enjoyed our video!

[@IronFreee]

I also used to travel to London with my father every few years. It was like some kind of pilgrimage, to show me where I was born before we flew away to other European countries :D We also used to watch a musical show every time we visited. Your lovely video reminded me of all those great times spent with him.

[@genEric_io]

LOL you got me at the "yayyyy were in london"

[@scratchoftheday2023]

Lovely vlog. Thank you for sharing .❤

[@rvlewau8713]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@Manwhosays]

Wow.. the kids are growing up! I remember the canyon creek video couple years back.

[@rvlewau8713]

The kids sure grow fast!

[@seeker1432]

You did well dad climbing that rope. Think i be asking for help. Nice to see you giving your kids your time and effort.

[@revbenf6870]

Your visit to Westminster Abbey reminded me of our late great Queen Elizabeth II whose funeral was held there just over a year ago, it broke me up yet again just remembering it. So glad you guys came and had a great time in our capital city. Please come again and explore many of our other great towns and cities -.Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Newcastle, York, Chester, Belfast, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Cardiff. Other great channels to check out: Rick Steves, Magenta Otter, Magic Geekdom, amongst many others. Peace and love. ❤🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@lion73266]

I enjoyed your video.

[@williammore558]

I would have taken the kids to the Royal Observatory in Greenwich. Take the ferry at waterloo and get a short cruise slong the Thames taking in the Barrier as well.

[@rvlewau8713]

Thanks for the tips! We'll be sure to go there next time we're in town!

[@utubeballbag]

Ypu guys seem like agreat family , glad you got the weather. This year wasnt as good

[@RollerbazAndCoasterDad]

Hope you enjoyed tge city we were born in and your stay in "Suvverk" (how londoners pronouce Southwark)

[@dirkdiggler0372]

The bridge you showed was Tower Bridge not London Bridge 😊 Glad you enjoyed it!

[@rvlewau8713]

Whoops 😅. Thanks for telling us!

[@sarah.ansari]

Did you recently travel? We are also planning a trip. How was the weather? Do we need to keep an umbrella handy ?

[@rvlewau8713]

We traveled around Europe earlier this summer, and the weather was in the mid 60s (F) in London so make sure to bring a jacket. In Paris and Italy it was in the 70s and 80s (F). Venice did lightly sprinkle for a couple minutes, but that was about it. We didn't bring an umbrella because it takes up too much room in the suitcase, but we brought ponchos just in case. We would recommend checking the weather before leaving on the trip to properly prepare for the weather.

[@sarah.ansari]

@@rvlewau8713 thank you for the reply. We just got back but wanted to know if you traveled through train to Italy and Venice. And how long was the ride. Also if the tickets cost a lot

[@alicedell8595]

Southwalk is pronounced Sutherk. And the river Thames is pronounced Tems. x

[@dorothysimpson2804]

The British Museum is free! Only special viewings need to be paid for.

[@BeckyPoleninja]

That was Tower Bridge not London Bridge, and we say Tems for the river :)

[@rvlewau8713]

Thanks for bringing up a mistake we made. We also appreciate the knowledge of the locals :)

[@dazza9326]

A good dad....

[@MagikGimp]

Fishcotheque, like Discotheque.

[@RetroMasters1977]

whats this National Lampoon's European Vacation 2

[@timholder6825]

You should have gone into the Cubana. The interior is brilliant. A big mural of Che Guevara and Fidel Castro. Kalashnikovs and Russian rifles and machine guns hanging on the walls. The bright colour scheme of the decor and tables and chairs matching it. It's on 3 levels and open planned. They do coffee or alcohol, including cocktails. The food's nothing special, but it's good all the same. Very busy in the evening or night, but less so in the daytime, a good place to get a coffee and chill. And it's only 5/10 minutes walk from the Tate Modern and in the opposite direction about 5/10 minutes from the Imperial War Museum.

[@rvlewau8713]

Thanks for telling us!

[@adamwynyard4065]

Where on earth is south walk ???? and that’s tower bridge not London Bridge btw

[@rvlewau8713]

I believe we meant Southwark. Whoops haha thanks for telling us!

[@Ayne-ny4em]

Are you all staying in one room ????

[@rvlewau8713]

Yes, to save money. We don't mind

[@Wayne-g8c]

Why 3 beds in one room bro

[@davidlauder-qi5zv]

Why did it take three hours to find your hotel?

[@rvlewau8713]

Because we got lost lol.

[@davidlauder-qi5zv]

@@rvlewau8713 Then why didn't you ask for directions - from a police officer, or in a shop, or a cafe, or from a passer-by?

[@rvlewau8713]

We tried to use apple maps but we kept going the wrong direction. Looking back we should have definitely planned it out better.

[@davidlauder-qi5zv]

@@rvlewau8713 You didn't answer my question. I asked you why didn't you just ask someone for directions?

[@maxmoore9955]

British Museum is Free .what do mean you Bought a Ticket ?

[@rvlewau8713]

What we meant is that we reserved tickets online before visiting the museum.

[@alicedell8595]

Yes, you are Americans, but you should really learn how to use a knife when eating(!). x

[@henryviii6341]

U.K is actually Britain to all of us who live here. None of us live in U.K. that’s for passports only. and Britain is not Europe. WE go TO Europe when we go to France.

[@rvlewau8713]

Thanks for the tip! We'll keep that in mind the next time we travel.

[@stevebarlow3154]

@@rvlewau8713 I'm afraid Henry was talking nonsense. Whilst the full name of the country is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, how we refer to the country differs according to circumstances. If I am abroad I would probably say I was from the UK. If I was referring to the main island I would say Britain and England, if I was referring to which part of the UK I come from. And of course the UK is part of Europe, both physically, culturally and historically. I'm afraid the Brexit Referendum brought all the xenophobes and 'Little Englanders' out of the woodwork!

[@timholder6825]

It's shameful that all the museums and art galleries (except the Saatchi and Saatchi which is shit anyway) are free, but you have to pay to go into the churches (Westminster Abbey, St. Pauls Cathedral). And both Buckingham Palace Gallery and Kensington Palace charge. Disgraceful, as these places are paid for through tax payer money. They're ours, but the royal family, greedy as ever, charge for entrance to see what we already own and pay for.

[@rvlewau8713]

Capitalism at it's finest.
