Cripes - I much prefer doing things like this on my own - so much simpler than having to make decisions with others in mind! Can just do what I want, when I want without a care in the world.

[@Elwaves2925]

I had a similar thing many years ago with a mate and that was just standard shopping in the city. They'd only eat at McDonalds while I'll go most places - except there. If they weren't interested in a shop, they'd hang over my shoulder making it very clear. In the end I simply refused to go with them and went on my own. As you say, so much better.

[@johnoleary5293]

The V&A is a museum of applied arts, design etc, so it’s very different from the British Museum, which is more of a historical museum, with lots of really ancient stuff. If you haven’t been there you should certainly go. Another commenter mentioned the Wallace Collection, which is decorative arts plus lots of paintings. It’s jaw-droppingly spectacular.

[@Jay-Kay-Buwembo]

V&A has a lot in common with British Museum, permanent collections include a lot of art, craft, sculpture, ceramics etc from South Asia, East Asia and the middle east. Not to mention the Sculpture from the Mediterranean.

[@klondikechris]

The V&A was recommended to me when I was last in London. I asked what was there, and it was told that it contained things that you would find in a house. I spent the entire day there, saw perhaps three quarters of it, and what was there? Things you would find in a house! But, as you saw, amazing things! I would go back there in a heartbeat.

[@howie8582]

The V&A is one of the world’s great museums. I went a couple of weeks ago, not having been for decades and was enthralled. Definitely somewhere that needs multiple visits. Don’t waste your time with the Science museum, which has been completely dumbed down and ruined. Glad you loved the V&A

[@yinoveryang4246]

Yes, Dumed down to the level of a 5 year old . They've "diversified" into dump people

[@onenote6619]

The Casting Halls are awesome because Victorians went all over the world and took plaster casts of the most amazing statuary all over the world. You can see the best staues here, all in one place. And some of those original statues have been destroyed, so the museum has preserved what the host countries did not.

[@wrd777]

The V&A is called a "Museum of Applied Arts", as opposed to a "Museum of Pure Arts" like the National Gallery. Incidentally, it has arguably the world's best collection of oriental carpets. The big one under glass, the Ardebil Carpet, has been described as the world's most valuable work of art because, if it came on the market, every country in the Middle East would be competing for it.

[@BravoManUK]

There are certain inevitabilities in life. Water is wet, the sky is blue and Alanna will be thinking about food! 🙂 cool vid too, well done.

[@AdventuresAndNaps]

Thanks so much!

[@dVb9]

Interesting to note that you headed straight for the café. In 1988 the V&A controversially advertised itself as "an ace caff with quite a nice museum attached”.

[@AdventuresAndNaps]

😂

[@nicolad8822]

And then they changed it.

[@rayaqueen9657]

Yeh, the cafe is still an experience in its own right.

[@PUNKinDRUBLIC72]

Great post, museums are best solo. Your own pace is the best pace!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@CazPea]

It’s not unusual for people to visit museums or galleries on their own. I actually enjoy doing this on my own. Feels free.

[@chanchito4401]

I highly recommend The Wallace Collection, I went in not expecting much but it was absolutely fantastic! Lots of armour, weapons, paintings, historical ceramics and furniture/clocks. Also a decent café (where I actually saw Helena Bonham Carter sat at a table). Maybe after a bit of a break from seeing the V&A though!

[@PHDarren]

The V&A is a museum you visit to see something in particular, and then come back another day to see something else. Being free to enter helps.

[@grampstin9375]

Just a quick note for tourists, the V & A museum is just a quick stroll up the road from Harrods so if your not too tired out shopping you can always just wander up the road to the free museum 😁👍

[@dbracer]

Again for tourists, if you look around before going in, you'll find the Science Museum, Natural History Museum and Geological Museum on the other side of the road. I think they're all free to enter, too.

[@TheSkinner1978]

Well done on overcoming anxiety and going. I am the same but recently been visiting museums on my own and have loved doing so. It gets easier the more you do as quickly realise there is nothing weird doing so by yourself. This one I will have to add to the list to go to now as looks very interesting 😊

[@slytheringingerwitch]

I love this series. So glad that it continues.

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

My mother was a housekeeper in Old Brompton Road and I grew up (born in 1953) in Kensington Gardens and the museums and I always enjoy people enjoying the V&A. Thanks for taking us with you.

[@sailingby]

Great video - I used to be ‘dragged’ around the V&A when I was a kid (a long time ago!) - the highlight for me was the Welsh Rarebit in the cafeteria. The V&A is much improved from what I remember. I loved the Science Museum, Geological Museum, and the Natural History Museum, which are all in the same location (Exhibition Road). They all are really great places to visit - and free entrance! we are very lucky to have these wonderful resources.

[@derningtona]

The object at 17.56 is a copy of the reliquary shrine of St Simeon made in Budapest in 1893. The original, at Zadar in Croatia, was made in 1380.

[@isaacplaysbass8568]

I forgot to mention, your videos about the LASIC has really helped my sister to explore the options available, and to se whether she can find the right solution for her condition. Thank you once again.

[@paulguise698]

Hiya Alanna, Me and my friend Michael are going to London in 4 weeks time, I'm looking forward to it tremendously, I'm glad you went to Victoria and Albert Museum, and its free to get in, WOW, this is Choppy

[@vanburger]

So Funny when you said you thought the item was 1400BC, and it was a picture of Jesus Christ on the cross. Come on girl Fantastic video though x.

[@davidhines7592]

she didnt recognise the ark of the covenant later shh! 😉

[@nikkburridge3412]

Keep up the great content Alanna! Being a local I always recommend Greenwich to visitors. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site all easily accessible via a 10-15 minute train ride from London Bridge, or better still via a River Bus. You have the Royal Park with its stunning views of London, the Royal Observatory and Planetarium. Along the river you have The National Maritime Museum, Queens House, Cutty Sark Tea Clipper and the Old Royal Naval College which is constantly used as an historic filming location. Then of course there is the Market.

[@thetragicyouth]

Hey Alanna, I love your solo expedition videos! I recommend Leighton House in West London, Sir John Soane Museum, and the Wellcome Collection. I'd also love to see 'A Canadian Reacts To... Madame Tussauds' 😉

[@barball3955]

Well done Alanna, I was in my 60's before I did a solo trip, which involved 2 changes on the train, my son said he was going to pin a label on my jacket like Paddington, saying please return my mum to Bletchley station. It gets easier with each trip I promise you. Wish I had been brave enough when I was a lot younger.

[@markcity10]

Well done for facing your fear! It gets easier the more you do it. I went solo travelling for the 1st time thru Switzerland back in May and I was so nervous but it ended up being one of the best weeks of my life. It’s strange but you meet more people when you’re on your own, and I’m quite an introvert so it doesn’t come naturally but if you try to focus on whats around you and not on how nervous you feel things get so much more enjoyable 😊

[@ceanothus_bluemoon]

Reminds me of school trips years ago to London, when we all went our separate ways. I always headed for the art galleries and museums, and just like your trip, it was lovely and quiet. The V&A is a treasure trove and like all of these places, somewhere to visit again and again. So much better to do these things on your own, then you're not being distracted, or feeling pressure to rush. Hope things are getting easier.

[@kathywilliams1050]

Alanna, I loved this! I hope to visit the VA sometime soon. Glad you are striking out on your own. If I were to wait for someone else to be able or want to accompany me, I would miss out on a lot. I check online for exhibitions in museums of the US and sometimes drive 2-3 hours to enjoy them. Sometimes I meet up with distant friends there, or, if not, I enjoy the solitary trip, listening to books or music on the way. I eat alone, and browse through the displays at my own pace, not having to keep track of a companion. No pressure. No big hurry. A nice day on my own terms, rather a rarity, all told.

[@gmf121266]

I'm so glad you saw the Hereford (pronounced heriford) screen. It was made by Francis Skidmore who lived and worked in my home city of Coventry. He was an incredible metalworker and designer. I learnt about him when I volunteered at the local museum in Coventry.

[@suneyeintuition4315]

I'm digging your solo trips. It's healthy for all people to be independent and be able to enjoy their own company too.

[@simonbarnard1861]

I travel loads for work and whilst I miss my family, actually meals in restaurants alone are actually a highlight - some quality me time to think about my interests.

[@t.a.k.palfrey3882]

Thanks for an insightful yet comfortable trip to the V&A. It was back when I was a choral schoolboy in London, over 60 yrs ago, when last I stepped foot in the V&A. It is totally transformed from the musty, terribly boring, missmash it was back then. You've sold it to me, my Kentish-Ontarian. It will be on my list next time I'm in the UK visiting my son and grandsons. Btw, as I don't know where in Kent you reside, I don't know whether you're a Maid of Kent or a Kentish Maid. 😅

[@SteveMikre44]

I'm really enjoying this series. The Albert & Victoria Museum looks beautiful. I think this series will also help encourage other individuals to feel more comfortable going out and experiencing new things on their own...

[@ethelmini]

Vicky 1st - she was the Empress, Bertie was just her hubby

[@Stu-Vino]

Good on you, Alanna, for getting out of your comfort zone and creating a video like this. I'm a bit of an anxious traveller too, at times, so I feel your pain. My favourite museum in South Ken is the Natural History museum, always has been. I went there as a young boy and was mesmerised by everything. It really needs a day each at the Life and the Earth galleries - if you've never been, I cannot recommend it highly enough.

[@andyf4292]

the science museum over the road is interesting. - scary seeing stuff from your childhood, in a display cabinet, in a museum...and theres a wall opposite, full of shrapnel holes from a german bomb

[@eric-wb7gj]

I went to the V&A so long ago, the fossils were still alive! Thanks Alanna!🙏🙏

[@jasonsmart3482]

When i worked in town i would go once or twice a month to a museum during my lunch time. my favorite came to be the Wallace Collection which also has a rather nice restaurant. My other half works away most of the time so i quite often do things on my own. I actually quite enjoy it but always feel a little guilty asking for a table for one at a busy restaurant and often will avoid it but to be honest i have never had a bad experience.

[@The_Butler_Did_It]

If I'm ever in London for more than a couple of days, the V&A is one of the two places I always visit, there's far more than you can see in one visit. The V&A was the first museum in the world to have its own cafe, the room you were in wes designed by E.J Poynter, a well known Victorian artist. William Morris's company designed another one of the dining rooms. The National Gallery is the other place I always make a beeline for.

[@richardbradley2802]

The 2 'towers' (12:56) are a cast of Trajan's Column' in Rome, one fits on top of the other! - they detail the Emperor Trajan's conquest of Dacia (Hungary) in the late 1st/early 2nd centuries. Much easier to see here than in Rome!

[@sc3pt1c4L]

I saw the version in London, then a week later, saw the real one in Rome and thought, "haven't I seen one of those in London?" I didn't realise London had casts.

[@cherryblossom3046]

Well Alana, I am a 72 yr old lady who loves, prefers and does a lot of SOLO travel joyfully! Why? Because of the freedom to go when, where and do what I like without having to consider or negotiate with anybody else! I value this freedom so much so that I actually find travelling with other people rather intrusive and impeding to my enjoyment of my travels and exploration! I interact a lot with other travellers who I meet/pass and move on, thus sharing a little of my time without taking too much of theirs! I have met a lot of interesting and very friendly strangers that way! Love solo travel in my retirement having spent decades travelling in large family group forever caring for others' needs largely at the expense of my own! Hence I don't do cruises and tour group travel as I would rather go HAPPY SOLO! ✌️

[@Gnaderify]

Appreciate the effort you put in to actually properly subtitling your videos

[@JJ-of1ir]

Kudos to you. It's quite something to do what you're doing when you are a little nervous about travelling alone. People in a similar boat, watching your museum trips today and last time, will be inspired to try an adventure like this themselves I think. I'm looking forward to the next one. All the best.

[@debrabarron7061]

Thanks for this video-due to health issues the chances of getting to see these things is very slim. So thank you again, from California. 🤓🌴💖

[@k_soares.]

Alana, I get you! I also feel overwhelmed when visiting big museums, too much to see and too many people is overstimulating. In terms of doing things on your own, you will get used to it. I've been single for almost 3 years and I learned how to do everything on my own, in the beginning it was a bit uncomfortable but now I enjoy it sooooo much, I travel everywhere and do everything on my own and love it, sometimes you meet other solo travellers and it's fun! thanks for sharing

[@Temeraire101]

It's a lot smaller, but I highly recommend The Wallace collection. Just a few mins walk behind Selfridges. A hidden gem that does not get packed with people, free to get in and the glass roof covered courtyard with restaurant and cafe is great. And about 20 mins walk away is a lovely shop The Easter India Company.

[@Dinadan993]

I absolutely love museums and art galleries.

[@AdventuresAndNaps]

Me, too! 🙏🏻

[@Nclchitchat]

I do a lot on my own, travelling and visiting places that interest me. The way I look at it is that life is to short to worry about what other people are thinking. These people you probably won't ever see again so why get anxious. People are two busy doing their own thing (especially in big cities) to concern themselves with what you are doing. Memories are not going to be made sitting at home.

[@RMBittner]

My wife and I were blown away by the “cafeteria” at the V&A. It was recommended to us by an American expat friend who lives in London. (We were visiting from the US.) We thought, “Really? It’s worth visiting just for the cafeteria?” But it was. And of course the rest of the museum is incredible!

[@martinbond5166]

If you liked the V&A then try the Sir John Soane Museum in Lincoln Inn Fields (near Covent Garden). Its like the V&A but much smaller, and more quirky.

[@stanettiels7367]

Places like this - dripping with history - I love them.

[@kelvinmeneely3116]

Overwhelmed...is an understatement 😵... I'm very jealous 👍 thank you for giving me a glimpse 🖖

[@RoyCousins]

The V&A was a spin-off of the Great Exhibition of 1851 in the Crystal Palace at Hyde Park (later moved to Sydenham). Most of the major museums in London are free, so it's worth making multiple visits if you have the time.

[@davidpierce3217]

Great video, thanks for taking us along :) I've done a lot of traveling on my own. You miss your partner, but it's great being able to do what you want, when you want. Pluses and minuses

[@jcasillas78]

Wow, really cool museum! I'm a big believer in solo outings especially at museums, great video!

[@AdventuresAndNaps]

Thanks pal!!

Wonderful vid,it’s shameful,as being a Londoner,I’ve never been to the V&A,but after watching your tour,it’s a must for me to go visit.thanks Alanna,more tours please,this was just as excellent,as the war museum tour.

[@yinoveryang4246]

@@AdventuresAndNaps Many people go to museums alone, best way to see things,

[@dialwright]

She uses cutlery!! Now she's truly a Brit. 🤗

[@klondikechris]

We also use colouring in Canada! And that is what we call it as well.

[@Martyntd5]

Once you've notice how weirdly North Americans use cutlery, you start seeing it on every TV show from Star Trek to the Walking Dead. The UK is definitely rubbing off on our girl here.

[@Pte1643]

Out of the 3 main ones in the area, the V&A is generally the quieter. Most of the crowds flock across the road to the Natural History and/or science museums. Both very much worth a visit (also free), but both usually very busy.

[@Buzpud]

My mum used to collect inkwells. All lovely intricate pieces. Our biros are so boring in comparison 🤣

[@davidberesford7009]

Hi Alanna! before your next solo adventure to museums in London, take a look on-line especially on YT to see what ground work you can do. Victoria and Albert Museum have a YT channel of their own, and I have seen many tv programmes about the conservation work done to preserve such items as punk era fashions. Keep On Venturing, Don't forget to nap. Bye!

[@johnscott3714]

Liked the way you transferred from Alanna exiting the museum to Alanna doing the voiceover, Alanna! Great editing!🤣

[@ladylove3636]

I popped in Saturday pm as it's between mine and the dentist. I live here if ever you need a friend. 5 minutes on the bike to the V&A. I was taking photos of the tiles as I want to tile my fireplace x

[@TheWalnut47]

Just a wonderful episode. Thank you, Alanna.

[@TheIslingtongirl]

Yeah V & A is great. And some of their event exhibits are awesome to catch too. If you haven't been I recommend the National Portrait Gallery. I did that one by myself and it was really interesting. They also had a delightful audio tour which makes being by yourself less impactful.

[@charisse234]

Alana I so relate I too am trying to go to places on my own without breaking into a cold sweat! Thank you for this video! Positivity peace and love ♥️

[@tiggerwood8899]

My mum took me and my sister there when I was 12, 1974. I was bored to death. We spent 8 hours in there. I would appreciate it more these days

[@Daytona2]

I'm a straight down the line engineer type ...and the V&A is my favourite London museum. I haven't been for decades but it used to be a glorious miscellany. I love the ordinary social history stuff ...I've no interest in the obscene historical wealth on display (I think of the poor people who suffered). Really pleased that you aced the time, it makes it so much more pleasant. Hopefully this is a way to overcome your travel anxiety, just avoid packed trains/busses/underground at all costs - even for someone who love's travel, it stresses me out.

[@mccpcorn2000]

I was in the V&A on Sept 13th with a friend, so it's nice to see all this footage! The place is so damned big it's easy to get lost, so it's good to see you covered a few things we missed!

[@littlesparrowwitch]

You're not kidding that it's easy to get lost, I work there, I know the way to my office and the way out, that's it! I'm too scared to wander the galleries as I may never find my way out!

[@Raven6794]

I’m pretty good with doing day activities solo including eating in cafes but I do find eating at restaurants alone at night weirdly uncomfortable. This is despite as you say there are usually a few others also on their own.

[@fianorian]

Solo Brit and I totally understand the anxiety. I've always done London alone, but I still have moments of fear. That said, the V&A is always on my list of places to visit. I've been three or four times and also get overwhelmed with all the beautiful stuff.

[@howardkey1639]

The V& A is a fascinating museum and however much you look there is always something else you have missed to see next time you visit. Add to that this is just one of the great many London museums to visit. Which museum have you in mind to visit next. I can't wait to see which one you choose. More please Alanna 👏👏👏😊

[@AdventuresAndNaps]

Thanks so much! ☺️

[@acmdv]

You should go visit the Royal Observatory and the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich. - You will need an entire day.

[@t.a.k.palfrey3882]

One of the oft overlooked gems of London is a walk around the incredible little churches around Aldwich: Temple Church (Templers), St Clement Danes (RAF), Chapel of the Savoy (Royal peculiar), St Mary le Strand, and St Bride's (with its Roman crypt).

[@MartinCook-kg1vn]

And you may get a ticket allowing you to come back

[@Louise-pe1un]

I could spend months there and not get bored. There is also a lovely library where you can sit quietly reading or writing, and lots of collections not currently on show but available to view if you ask.

[@AmiHoss66]

don't get me wrong i enjoy company and socilising so long as i know the people well...but i do find a certain comfort and solace in being alone with my thoughts...it's nice.

[@ericrabinowitz2920]

The V&A is one of the world's great museums. Thanks for the tour. TRY THIS: The Romney, Hythe, and Dymchurch Railway on the Kent coast is a hoot. Miniature railcars, lots of history, and close to home.

[@bryanlea8115]

If you ever get the chance, go to one of the V&A 'lates', particularly in the summer. There might or might not be a themed event going on, but either way, you can look around at your own pace and then go out into the central square by the fountain and drink red wine by the bucket load.

[@bobblebardsley]

I really like the basic premise for this series, there's a few things that make me anxious (e.g. I'm fine with photos but I freeze if I know my voice is being recorded on video) so I hope you manage to crack the cringe and normalise solo travelling for yourself. I've been to the V&A once and it was right at the end of the day after visiting the Science Museum across the street, so we didn't have long and just spent the whole time in the Cast Courts (no regrets, those rooms are amazing). I'm really enjoying getting to see the other stuff in this video and your very natural-sounding voiceover, good work!

[@stinajones9847]

Loved this solo trip! One of my goals is to start taking myself out for solo traveling & solo activities around my city. I dont know why it can make us feel so uncomfortable but it surely does lol.❤🤞🏼

[@AdventuresAndNaps]

Thank you so much for watching ☺️ all the best for your solo trips, too! It's definitely weird at first but it does get easier!

Alana, I think you should have a day out visiting Chichester and Arundel Castle. Don't miss the prayer book of Mary Queen of Scots.

[@dazzelcop1019]

Great job. Most of our museums in London, including the V&A, are totally free to enter.

I went to the V&A recently and was blown away. Great video Alanna (bonus points for your very cool leather jacket)

[@AdventuresAndNaps]

Thanks so much! There's literally so much to see - I already want to go back lol

[@the-scamp]

​@@AdventuresAndNapsThanks for the reply, it's great to hear from you. I particularly enjoy your travel vlogs and also your taste-testing videos. I would suggest you visit Greenwich, you could go to the Maritime Museum (also don't miss the Queen's House, next door). Then, walk up the hill to Greenwich Observatory, and possibly take a look at the Cutty Sark.

[@pauly5418]

Beautiful museum! Like other massive museums, you would need several trips if you wanted to look at everything closely.

[@nigelanscombe8658]

Oh, I see Dale Chihuly’s glass chandelier is still hung above the desk in the main entrance. 🙂

I was wondering about this too. Haven't been since the late 90s.

[@terrystewart1973]

Something for next year, in the Spring when the weather is nice, might be a trip to Kew Gardens in London.

[@bunclecar9246]

Thank you Alanna, that was a lovely viedo of an astonishing place :))

[@steveb3]

The V&A is like the Tardis, it's far bigger on the inside than it appears on the outside (and it's a big building!). I've been many times and I don't think I've seen everything there yet? It's worth doubling up landmark trips, the V&A is next to The Science Museum for example, and walking distance from The Design Museum. The National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery are next to each other, and close enough to The British Museum to make it worth a trip. A wild card; The Postal Museum is interesting, and do the Mail Rail underground train too.

[@jandimarco3113]

If you love historical clothes, the costume museum at Bath is brilliant. Bath is a long way from London but a lovely place to visit anyway, and there’s the Roman Baths there …… etc etc

[@michaeldillon3113]

Recommendation - St Paul's Cathedral. The crypt is amazing . The tombs of Nelson and Wellington close together along with so many iconic historical figures . You can climb to near the top of the dome for great views across London . Anti recommendation - don't come to the isle of sheppey unaccompanied , not least because you have to catch the Sittingbourne to Sheerness train . The creators of the comedy series ' The Inbetweeners ' used to come to sheppey to write . They described the train ride as possibly the most dangerous one in England !?

[@DaveF.]

If you're tired with London, I'd recommend Oxford for a day trip - even if you can't get into the colleges, there are some great museums and cafes and it's gorgeous town.

[@michaelwhitcombe7749]

I second that. The Ashmolean museum has the Alfred Jewel and the Natural History Museum and Pitt Rivers museum are fascinating.

[@DaveF.]

@@michaelwhitcombe7749 Yeah, the Rivers Pitt museum is... weird. It's really problematic in many areas and the current curators know it and point it out. Never felt like I wanted to give a lot of the stuff back to the people it was taken from while visiting the British Museum or similar - but the Rivers Pitt one? It's like a bunch of Victorian archeologists did a trolley dash through the Empire grabbing one of everything.

[@ionariddle4823]

I had no idea the V and A was so wonderful now. I live just 90 mins by train from London so I feel inspired to plan a trip- on my own of course!

Love this video!! Carry a magazine or book with you when you’re alone for those embarrassing moments you feel ! It really makes you feel less stressed/embarrassed.

Try a museum outside of London, I know living in Kent makes that a little harder but maybe the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford is doable. It's certainly different.

Huge brownie points for fighting down the anxiety and not only made the trip but filmed too...extra points for using your cutlery like a proper Brit, not sure how Canadians eat but Americans drive me mad at how they stab at their food like a toddler.
