This Is The BEST FREE LONDON Visit In 2024 | V&A

[@lyndabond1443]

Let’s give Hannah some applause 👏 🎉. Beautiful museum and she showed us the creepy stuff and didn’t break her neck 😊❤

[@adams8847]

Best travel vloger by far always quality videos makes me want London so bad lol when I can afford it

[@geniushisfriends1260]

Yes indeed

[@purplepothos5794]

16:30 Just wanna say we all appreciate you risking life and limb to show us the sights of London, Hannah! Also, I checked Wiki for UK's most visited attractions, the data was from 2022, but V&A ranked 7th for the whole country (around 2.4 million visitors) equivalent to the Science Museum numbers next door; a few hundred thousand behind the National Gallery and 1.5 to 1.7million short of the big boys like the Tate Modern and British Museum. So it's not necessarily overlooked but given how much variety they have on show it definitely deserves way more. You must have gotten lucky visiting when it wasn't so busy.

[@jaanaipayne507]

This was s great tour of the V&A museum! Thank you for going in the gift shop, well done!

[@suzisharp132]

That was wonderful, Hannah!!! I fully enjoyed the visit to the V&A. Looking forward to lunch with Nat on Friday.

[@WakeUpAndCraft]

Wow! What a cool, FREE tour of an amazing museum! I can't believe it's not busier. It's really a stunning look around! Hannah, you are never boring! I love your commentary! Oops! Glad you didn't fall down the stairs! That gift shop was fantastic, it's like a little mini museum in there! I'm super shocked at the affordability of the items. Thank you for another wonderful vlog! Can't wait for the next one!

[@laurakene2010]

V&A is a wonderful museum to visit! Thank you for sharing what they exhibit at the moment. And that gift shop.....wow, I would most definitely get some stuff from there. Such a surprising yet great place to get something for yourself or as a gift to someone special. Lovely vlog, thank you, Hannah! So glad you didn't fall down the stairs! I'm really soaking in all that spring vibe in your video, it's only +2 here and it actually started snowing again yesterday (I'm in Estonia).

[@jaks6052]

Wow Hannah… that was brilliant… so much history etc., 70’s cloths remember very well😂😂😂👍🏻cheers🥰x

[@snooksmcdermott]

One of my happy places when I lived there one summer!

[@paulbennett8516]

Hi Hannah another great video very interesting & I don’t like museums I find them creepy great to see you got some buses at the start a winner with me

[@cliffhorman6846]

I must get to the museums when I return. It was fascinating, and I am glad you enjoy architecture and always focus on it, so beautiful. Cheers Hannah.

[@renahere1885]

Thanks Hannah...really enjoyed that museum...what a great place!!🤗👏

[@suzetteengelsma]

So glad I saw this.

[@sheilaenglish9738]

I once met a shoe designer in Prêt 😄 who said that on Mondays at the company she worked for there were no meetings, no emails, the day was just intended for finding inspiration. She mentioned going to the V&A, not to look at shoes but to look at tapestries, glass, jewelry etc and study them for designs, textures and colour combinations. Smart company.

[@g.s.632]

👍🏼❤

[@reyjay1965]

Good afternoon from Canada, Mum will be 95 in June and doesn't, as she admits, remember a lot from her younger years but the camera display got her talking about all of her black and white photos from all over the UK, Eastern Canada and all the way across to the Rocky Mountains that she climbed to get the best photos. We often get our tea and snacks and enjoy watching your videos together and I wanted you to know that they have brought back a lot of memories for Mum about her years living in London, meeting my Dad and travelling around before settling down here. You are a fantastic tour guide and I thank you for your easy and informative style. BTW, both Mum and I love that there is a coat room and think the gift shop looked amazing.

[@streamdr1499]

That was a lovely post to read, sending best wishes to you and your mum, from the UK

[@debbier9325]

Hello from Phoenix, Arizona. 😂That was a beautiful story, thank you for sharing that ❤️. I love hearing all the old stories that my grandmother would tell me. We can learn a lot from them.

[@HannahRicketts]

Thanks so much for watching along, glad you like the videos!

[@steveray8056]

Hannah, thank you so much for this fabulous video of the V&A. My wife and I agree that you can take us to the V&A as many times and for as long as you wish to make your videos. You are an excellent host and guide. Blessings 😊

[@jaana.s.]

V&A was absolutely the best museum to visit on a London trip. 10/10.

[@awineandfoodnerd]

Happy St. George’s Day (or just Tuesday), Hannah! Absolutely brilliant vlog today. A wonderful tour of the V&A museum. So many beautiful things and amazing creativity on display. Very much appreciate and enjoy the two a week vlogs. Glad that it appears that Spring has (finally) arrived in London. Hope you have a wonderful week and looking forward to Friday’s vlog.

[@peitho9408]

Hey Hannah! Really love the cheeky little texts at the end of your videos! 💕 Thanks for taking us with you to the V&A!

[@nightspore4850]

I’ve heard about the Victoria and Albert but never saw it. What an absolute gem. The whole place seems 10/10. I am really enjoying two vlogs a week.

[@2001MBKBooster]

The Victoria and Albert is a brilliant museum. You can spend hours just looking at one gallery. It's very much the thinking person's London attraction.

[@RRaymer]

Something as beautiful as this building would have a $100 entrance free in the US, let alone a museum inside. You are lucky to view history like that for free

[@flipperssuperawesomechanne7090]

You forget the Smithsonian is free.

[@Sue-np9fp]

Coo! How wonderful is THAT building? Absolutely STUNNING! (Am I allowed to say that)?! another great vlog Hannah! love Sue xx

[@FalafelSam]

Aside from each of the exhibits being so different and intriguing, the building itself was such an incredible backdrop ! Could spend a long time there admiring all the details. Honourable mention to one of the greatest gift shops of all time, as well

[@otterlips8414]

Hannah, Your tour means so much to me: years ago I came to London on a tour from Alabama (yes the country mouse came to the big city!) and the red bus passed the V & A. I remember wishing I could take a whole day to wander it. So seeing it through your witty eyes is a total joy. Loved it so much. Thank you.

[@MakeUpWitch]

What in the Harry Potter! ... I've never heard this one before. 🤣🤣🤣 I don't know why I thought this museum would be boring. I have to go next time. Unlike you I'd absolutely love the ironwork section. I have some iron furniture and decor in my home. And I love the selection of William Morris stuff in the gift shop. Hannah, you definitely got me planing my next London trip!

[@magdastar2249]

Me too. 👍

[@georgemoore7231]

What a wonderful job Hannah did in presenting the exhibits at the V&A. I was there with my late wife years ago and the museum was absolutely glorious. My wife especially enjoyed the jewelry exhibit.

[@pedonk]

"I'm all about alternating and mixing things up on this channel now" I'm loving it, and I appreciate all your hard work. you're doing good, keep going.

[@Stephanie-uj7un]

Hannah, this tour was amazing! I absolutely love your vlogging as you walk through, and all the different things you showed us! The running commentary is very smooth, and I love how your attention gets diverted to point out other things, or make statements about something that caught your eye. I just can’t express how much happiness I get from your videos. And when we finally travel to London for an extended stay, the V and A is the first place we’ll go! Thank you! ❤❤

[@jenniferhuedepohl5451]

Perfect timing! The notification for this video came while I am sitting at the airport-waiting for my flight to London 😊

[@hoppysport2872]

This is a superlative production and presentation. A true highlight is your quiet narration. It's captivating and relaxing. It kept me around. A dream would be Hannah narrating audio books.

[@ritaadler-everett5392]

The V&A museum has shot to the top of my "Must Do" list on my next visit abroad to the UK. Hannah, I kept wanting you to slow down, oh look over there, no wait, please wait, Hannah let's look over there! And as someone who's been in loads of gift shops, this is a 15/10! Fantastic! Thank you Hannah!!

[@katherinebrown8939]

The jewellery section is my absolute fave part of the museum

[@surfingtheoceanoftheinterwebs]

Same!

[@pwhitson6733]

Wonderful Hannah & you may say “stun-ning“ as often as you please. Your whispered voice was easy to hear, well done.

[@alannagordon9680]

The V & A was an excellent choice Hanna! I just loved the jewelry even funky stuff ❤

[@jameshollyoak8230]

Love a bit of culture on a Tuesday , amazing place and for free , thank you for showing us around

[@richardsawyer1492]

Thank you very much, my wife and I have always wanted to visit the V&A. Now thanks to your vlog, we will definitely find time to visit, when we next come to London. Thoroughly enjoyed your vlog, keep up the excellent work.

[@karenleggett3097]

Beautiful, you’ve so changed my itinerary the next time we are in London.

[@lawriefoster5587]

Thank you so much for this, Hannah. Brought back many memories of my visit to the V and A in 1971!! I had to keep reminding my self to close my mouth!! A magnificent yet comfortable place. Thank you again, Lawrie in Philadelphia.

[@andrewt3162aa]

Wow. So beautiful everything.... Absolutely stunning.

[@markbrown635]

Hannah this was a really interesting tour of the V & A Museum in London! I am shocked that a museum that nice is completely free of charge! Thx Hannah for once again taking us to another of London's premier locations! You have a keen ability for showcasing the most interesting & iconic places to see in London! Hannah, I look forward to Friday's vlog, & to see where you & Natalie will be dining next! In the meantime, have a nice week Hannah & stay safe!!!

[@Michelle-e4z]

Vlog at the V&A was so entertaining, enjoyable So hard to believe it is free Thank you….

[@snaomi67]

We appreciate all you do Hannah! Thank you for the wonderful tour🤗

[@rickmiller6520]

Wow, incredible throughout! Very enjoyable vlog! There is something of interest for everyone.

[@Janestjohns]

That was BEAUTIFUL!!! Thank you so much for a tour I would never have been able to take otherwise ❤

[@alisondoughty2194]

What a treat for inspiration.Thank you for a visit there.🎉😄

[@sydneykasmar]

Loved the tour. Lots to see and I really enjoyed the jewelry and clothing.

[@danielpetry6460]

Hannah, my wife loves your channel. I turned her on to your channel because she wanted to see the UK and London prior to coming on trips with me. Great job...keep it going. Daniel

[@ericbecker710]

HANNAH THE HISTORIAN!! Loved the Tour---❤❤❤ (But please be careful & watch your step while vlogging! We don't want to lose you!!)😮

[@AnitaAnneLloyd]

I agree 100% with you dear Hannah! The V&A Museum is the BEST in London. I always go there and then enjoy fabulous tea and scones afterwards.

[@laurahall9114]

WOW, you can certainly spend a lot of time there. Beautiful!

[@daniell1100]

Thank you , Hannah! V&A is on the "London Must-do List" :) Your hair is getting so long and gorgeous--it's a great look!

[@brewpackfan]

As always, Hannah, it is a pleasure being able to watch you go around London and video everything especially this museum. I heard about it living in the US always wanted to visit it and through you I have. Thank you so much for all that you do.

[@annetteconroy6921]

That was a marvellous meander on an antiques road trip . From the fashion collection, through viking invasion to the exorcism section. What a wonderful building and cultural experience to have on your door step

[@Kari_B61ex]

Love, love love the V&A! I've visited many times and can't wait to visit again. You can absolutely spend a whole day in there. I'm that old so owned a Sony Walkman!

[@MOE-gm3si]

One of the highlights of our London trip was the V and A this past October. Thank you so much for highlighting it. I takes me right back there. I saw the costumes, jewellry and silver as you did. The large paintings by Raphael are called cartoons. They were the preview to the actual tapestries which would have been made. The Chihouly chandelier is magnificent. Glorious buildings too. Love, love, love! Also please never underestimate what your museum visits mean to other people. Or even the architecture of London - a charming and wonderful mix of things you can't see anywhere else. Hannah, it has value.

[@elizabethoster8354]

This video is awesome!! I love The Victoria & Albert Museum is so amazing. Was that chandelier Chihuly? Thank you!! 😊❤

[@evelynporter6349]

I’m loving the architecture! I could spend hours there. I’m a huge history lover. What a treat. Thank you ☺️

[@gloriastone3211]

Thank you Hannah for a wonderful trip to the V&A! I can't believe it's free! Such amazing exhibits on so many topics. Loved the jewellry. You can spend hours there! The Dale Chihuly glass sculpture at the beginning was amazing.

[@Thanxloveit]

Thank you Hannah, for those of us who can't afford a UK holiday. Just wonderful and FREE! Amazing! You are lucky to live in such a culturally rich country and city. 😊💐🌸💜

[@beverlybaker9361]

Thank you

[@kathyevans2968]

I spent the whole day in the V&A with my son when in London last time. It was such an inspiring place, invoking great conversations!

[@donnagoode7768]

Oh Hannah, love you to pieces but really? The statue of “that man” was the STATUE OF DAVID. Probably the most famous statue in the world! Otherwise a wonderful tour. Thank you Sweetie:)

[@RosemaryStudy]

The Dale Chihuly installation at the entrance, the layered glass, is so amazing. I did an internship at the Orland Museum of Art (Winter Park, Florida, USA) during a Chihuly exhibition and got to unpack some of his "cartoons", the beginnings of his designs - it was so beautiful! Thanks, Hannah, once again for a great wee tour!

[@jackiegilles4487]

I have been lucky enough to see Dale Chihuly works of art at OKC Museum of art. They have a whole area of his work.

[@anne-mariecouvrette3613]

The V&A is one if not, my favourite museum in London. I always try to go when I am there. And it's been a while... Thank you for the visit Hannah!

[@steveatbuccscoin336]

Hi Hannah, loved this vlog today, its been many years since I went around the museums in London, and my memory seems to cross them over thinking a certain area of history is in a certain musuem only to find its in one of the others. Your style of vlog chatty and friendly adds to these trips around London and who does like a good meal in other vlogs. Must say your looked stunning with your hair worn naturally around your shoulders. Hope you continue doing two vlogs a week its great to see you doing two different vlog styles in the week and its nice to see you twice a week as well. Stay safe and enjoy yourself, see you Friday. Steve

[@QBeeC2017]

Thanks, Hannah! As always, I appreciate you showing us these things, but more than that I appreciate your humor! ❤

[@MichelleJonesKralka]

Hannah: “What in the Harry Potter are these?” 😂 Thank you for taking us around the museum. I’m a member and I still haven’t seen everything in there!

[@daPalma]

I need to get to the V&A to research the archives for a watercolour I have that was part of an exhibition there in 1913 This has just made me want to go even more! Looks great!

Thank you for taking us to the V & A. A museum I have ofcourse heard of but have never seen inside it. What a wonderful place. I'd be going there all the time if I lived in London.

[@janerobinson5944]

Thank you Hannah for showing V&A! It is always a thrill to tour this museum as there is so much to see and experience! There is never enough time to see it all😊

[@juanmanuelsalinas9606]

Lovely and CLASSY HANNA. Thank you for your incredible way of showing us London at the level it deserves.

[@anniebowen1]

😍😍❤️ Wonderful tour!! You really took us with you, sensational!!

[@howcotube]

Ah the V &A. It is on my list everytime I visit London but alas I only made a visit to the museum only once. I must go when I get to London in May (only a few weeks away and so happy to visit once again) I hope you are okay after that fall Hannah? Yes, that gift shop is huge and it seems a museum in itself. I do have the Osmo Pocket 3 and the combo package that gives you that extra battery handle that will give you much more video time. I like how it can charge so fast with a 30 volt charger. I do think a filter is important when filming outdoors and when I go to London and Bath I will use the Pocket 3 and hope for great 4K videos. Catch you next time and hello to Nat for me !

[@erine.5680]

V&A is also my favorite museum in London! Thank you Hannah! I would love to see a Kew gardens video in the future 💜

[@janetgorman3690]

omg, the V&A is incredible! I was there a long time ago and I still recall how in awe I was at that time. When you showed us the jewelry displays......wow....no words. Thank you so much for taking us along!

I never went here when I lived in England but I must visit when I come back next as it is 'stunning'. I still have and use the portable cassette player. Great for listening to old stuff that I recorded about 50 years ago.

Thank you for visiting the V&A. I can't get out much anymore, so it was nice seeing it again. It brought back so many memories.

[@straycat1403]

When we went to the beautiful V&A Museum last April we went first thing in the morning and it wasn’t busy at all and very, very quiet. We loved it!

[@katherinebrown8939]

I’ve been waiting for this one!! Thanks so much ❤

[@janetclaireSays]

This was fabulous! I can't believe it's free. A person could go there and take a room per week and get an education! I loved it, thank you so much for including this video on your channel! And I WAS wondering where you got those sunglasses!

[@sheilaenglish9738]

I had to go back and pause on the 1500BC jewelry. Those are pieces you could wear today, especially #1 and #2.

[@searam1]

Cheers Hannah, it’s Sean in Atlanta! When I stayed in Earl’s Court, it was just down the street from there and I got stuck in there one afternoon for several hours! You mentioned Mary Quant and that exhibit happened to be front and centre when I was there! I found that museum to be captivating and if it hadn’t been for the fire alarm test, they probably would’ve found me in there the very next day still wandering around! I used to work in fine jewelry and that section got me like it got you! I would have a hard time deciding between The Tower and The V&A… You are in my favourite room now, the Medieval/ Renaissance room with all the statuary and door frames. I loved that room-it just had a kind of atmosphere… Well done you, and may I just say that your little commercial break left me absolutely speechless… wow! Sean P.S. Hahaha, I meant to call you on all that mooching you’ve been doing! That word just cracks me up!

[@judynesher5898]

I agree with most of your comments but would like to add that in the Medieval/Statuary room you (Hannah) stopped by the statue of “a tall man”. In fact it’s a replica of Leonardo da Vinci’s David and yes, it is tall but he’s not just ‘a man’!!! It was lovely to see the V & A through your eyes, Hannah - thank you!

[@bisakor]

I was there last week, and I do have to agree that it is the best museum in London! I love the huge area with lots of detailed pillars and statues. It feels like I've been transported in time 🤯

[@nydiamontanez8025]

Love, love this video. I think the glass sculpture at the entrance hanging from the ceiling is Chihulys. I got to feel I was right there with you. I enjoy museum visit very much. It's one of my favorite pass times in NYC. Thanks for sharing as I don't plan to be in England anytime soon. Or...you never know. ❤😂

[@GabrieleTurner]

Loved that tour - well done indeed ! If you find some of the ecclesiastic items creepy you might just want to chat with a therapist about that,. ha ha It is atmospheric and evocative of all that has been and might be.... confront your demons. Not being critical - love your style and vlogs - just a thought as I noted you intermittently classify something as creepy which is merely historic and thought provoking. You are entirely entitled to your opinion of course. Reminder Sabina Savage is holding book launch and 10 year anniversary celebration - not to be missed though you may find some of her designs rather " thought provoking"

[@DanielFerguson-l2u]

A fantastic place, my only visit was in 1971, your video reminds me just how much fantastic stuff there is in there. Wow. Good job, thankyou.

[@richardalfredpalmer9660]

That was fabulous Dear Hannah Ricketts never been to the V&A Museum in my opinion I think the V&A is so much better more eye catching really enjoyed the tour and it’s understandable you have to whisper not to disturb anyone very interesting thank you so much Hannah see you on Friday bye 🙋‍♂️ love ❤️ Excellent video.

[@ameliaclark5792]

Thanks for the tour Hanna. I will definitely put this on my list for September.

What a difference some sunshine makes!! We went there during our trip this month and it seemed so gloomy inside because of the cloudy day. I think the best footage I got while I was there was the huge Raphael cartoon room and the Margaret Thatcher figure thing lol

Finally, the V&A! Great introductory vlog... Excellent sound quality on your subdued voice... So sorry the stained glass and some of the churchier bits made you feel creepy; I loved it... What exactly happened to you at 16:31-32? (you don't have to answer that!)... Wonder what the "Tropical Modernism" banners were about; I'll check other videos... Thank you so much for adding more museums to your programme this year... Cheers!
