[@mattbentley9270]

Love that the kids listened to the full audio tour, most kids would get bored and not bother or be interested ! nice one kids..... omg, shard tea!! you literally did everything love it !

[@palmsandpalaces]

Thanks! We miss it soooo much! Are you a Londoner? Please tell it hello for us. More England vlogs to come!

[@andrewdoubtfire4700]

And once again. Such a nice family and great well put together vid that runs at a good pace. It was interesting to see you appreciating the end to end well kept and atmospheric streets. Something that many of us don’t really notice or pay much attention to; which we definitely should. A Christmas trip to Hamleys as a kid in the 70’s was the highlight of the year for me.

[@palmsandpalaces]

Oh, what a treat for a child to wander Hamleys! What a fantastic memory! Thanks for sharing. And thanks again for the kind comment. I appreciate it more than you know!!

Excellent video - You should have so many more viewers - Good luck growing the channel!

As a Londoner, for some reason, I am a bit obsessed by vlogs of visitors to London. To be honest, most are rather generic and rather dull and repetitive and self obsessed. But you have curated your trip very well indeed. Yes, you have got in many of the big sites, but you have fitted in a lot else as well, and you have shown me and others a lot of things I was not aware of. It is a city of 10 million people, it is enormous, and we all tend to stick to our city villages. Your channel deserves more exposure.

[@palmsandpalaces]

Thank you for your kind words. Appreciate the encouragement more than you know! 💛

[@ulsterscot]

Seriously…you’re like the best mum ever. Lovely family. You’re most charming.

Good to hear someone highlight the quality of British food rather than the stereotypical comment that all British food is bad. ❤

[@palmsandpalaces]

Oh yes, if anyone complains, they’ve been eating at the wrong venues… because British food is 👌👌!

[@richt71]

Hi. Here's a tip. Rather than fight for a limited view of changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace...go and see it at Horseguards parade. Much more personal, less crowded and don't have to arrive as early. Yes there's some nice streets in central London....that unfortunately have some not so nice prices attached to the apartments within them!

[@palmsandpalaces]

I'm taking note of this for a future trip. The kids would enjoy that, especially our son! Appreciate you sharing... And I did stop at many of those real estate windows along the streets - London is expensive indeed! But oh so beautiful!

I'm an old Brit, not from a city, so trips to London were always a big thing and a worry, concerning children. When taking kids to the capital, we always had a set of rules for the youngsters. ✨ KIDS ALWAYS WALK ON THE INSIDE - ie the adult walks nearest the roadside, the kids nearest the buildings. ✨ KIDS WAIT, ADULTS SEARCH - If kids and adults get separated from each other, the adult does the searching and the kids do the waiting. If you lose your adult, walk to the side of the pavement away from the road and the foot traffic and wait. Adult - your kid will probably be within 50 metres of you - retrace your steps looking towards the side of the pavement where the buildings are. I guarantee you'll find them in a few minutes if they stuck to the rules. Mobile phones may have changed this slightly, but "Kids wat and adults search" is still key. ✨ Tube Rules. Again: KIDS WAIT, ADULTS SEARCH. - If your kid gets left on the tube after you get off, they must follow this rule: Get off at the very next stop, walk to the wall and wait. Tube trains are very frequent, so the adult just get on the next train, gets off at the next stop and finds their kid waiting. ✨ If the kid gets off the tube and the adult is left onboard, the kid does the same as before - walk to the wall and wait. The adult gets off at the next stop, finds the train going back to where they came from and relocates the platform they were on.

[@palmsandpalaces]

These are fantastic rules! We have a standard family plan in case of separation but devised a new one, once we got separated on the Tube. Definitely a unique situation. Taking note of these for clients and a future visit. I appreciate you sharing. Have a wonderful day!

In the UK (and generally Europe) pedestrians have to yield to traffic rather than the other way round -safer that way when the pedestrians outnumber cars. If the car is stopping for you without making a sound, they're being polite or just putting up with it (rarely do people sound horns even when annoyed).

[@palmsandpalaces]

This is interesting! Thanks for sharing!

[@stevelknievel4183]

In the UK pedestrians only have right of way over cars at zebra crossings. That's why cars don't slow down for pedestrians. Even then though I would always wait until I'm certain that traffic is going to stop before stepping out into the road. Its better to be alive than in the right.

[@palmsandpalaces]

Absolutely!

[@eddiel7635]

Actually I think it’s the opposite (and just double checked the Highway Code) “Drivers and riders should give way to pedestrians waiting to cross and MUST give way to pedestrians on a zebra crossing”. The difference with the US is we don’t have jay walking laws so you can cross anywhere you like, not just at zebra crossings. I noticed in the US cars went into panic mode when I tried to walk across the road and stopped or slowed the car, rather than trust me to navigate my way around them. I assumed it was because of the jay walking laws and they aren’t used to it.

A slight correction, Mall in 'The Mall' is pronounced to rhyme with pal. It's not a shopping centre! 😉😊 Also, and I'm not sure why we do this, we put "River" before the actual names of our rivers rather than after. So it's the 'River Thames', 'River Avon' etc., etc.

[@palmsandpalaces]

Ah - thanks for sharing! Very insightful!

[@weedle30]

Not being rude or anything but you might want to edit the location for Hamley’s toy shop. The one you went to is in Regent Street not Soho - Soho is a very busy area but is separated from Regent Street - visitors heading to Soho to go to Hamley’s will be very disappointed not being able to find it and will have to turn back to Regent Street! (It’s a bit of a stroll too! 😵‍💫)

[@palmsandpalaces]

@@weedle30 This is good info - will do. Thanks!
