London Days | a few day in the city, book shopping, coffee shops & exploring notting hill

The “what’s for dinner pickles” was actually so cute lol

[@whatraereads]

We couldn’t believe we caught it on video, it was so funny to hear such a sweet moment between a couple

[@celtadiabolica]

I love all the points of visual interest you include in your vlogs. It's impossible to look away from, calming but also stimulating at the same time. Thanks for taking us along on your travels!

[@whatraereads]

Thank you thank you thank you! I love experiencing a city through the eyes of a creator and I always appreciate when they share little details or hidden gems ☺️ it makes me feel like I’m ’in that world with them’ in a sense so that is what I try to do too. It means a lot that you appreciate it ❤️

[@BookishAdventuresInWellbeing]

Another cracking vlog queen!

[@whatraereads]

Thank you so much ☺️💖

[@KayAmpersand]

Looks like you had a great time, Rae. Thanks for sharing. It was lovely to see your sister too!

[@whatraereads]

Thank you Kay 🫶

[@Purrfectblu]

You and your sister are hilarious! 😂! Thank you for showing us around London!

[@whatraereads]

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it ❤️

[@cecilialau_]

The povvo and ding dong vibes were everything, lol. Gorgeous video as always! The professional at it again 🤌 x

[@whatraereads]

I always say povo because of summer heights high 😂

[@TanyaWestley]

Everytime I tell myself no more books I end up falling into a bookshop and well, it would be rude not to haha! Nice to meet your sister in this one and looks like you made the most of your time in London but agree it never feels enough time x

[@whatraereads]

It’s truly so difficult to leave books and resist the temptation lol. Especially when they’ve been on your tbr for ages 🤣

[@mekiiiiiiiiii]

„Stop saying Ding Dong“ it was so funny to me hahahaha

[@whatraereads]

😂 I was laughing at myself editing tbh

[@michellekernan6678]

We finally see your sister! She’s hilarious!! One of my good friends is from Liverpool so listening to you guys speak is like being sat next to our Paula 🤣. Love from Aussie ❤️

[@whatraereads]

Haha she will love this! Just hearing your say ‘our Paula’ is very scouse and I love it ☺️🫶

Every book shop you stopped in looked so lovely! Your sister making a joke about being poor whilst in a rich area, that's basically me whenever I go visit my favorite indie bookshop 😂 it's very near a fairly rich area with gorgeous houses and I like to walk around there after spending way too much money on books. As a Canadian I'm jealous that you have access to other cities so easily via train, we have nothing like that around here. I don't drive and neither does my partner so we're pretty much stuck in our city. And even if we did drive cities are all so far away from each other here that we still probably wouldn't go anywhere that often. I guess I can live vicariously through you whenever you post these types of vlogs 🙃

[@whatraereads]

It’s kind of fun when you go to a rich area to pretend you belong haha! I always notice how much extra money is spent on the upkeep of the area, they’re always so clean and well maintained. We are pretty lucky with how close everything is here in the UK, although our train service is pretty bad currently, I am lucky I can drive if I like. I’m hoping to go to Edinburgh at some point soon as it’s such a picturesque place. I’m so glad you’re able to see these places even if it’s just through my little videos ☺️❤️

[@paigeobrien5709]

Great video! Had me laughing out loud a few times...also love the clips where you are barely keeping it together. I'm interested to hear your thoughts on Kala when you're done. I read it last year.

[@whatraereads]

Thank you Paige! I really loved kala, such a gripping and absorbing literary mystery with vivid characters. I was absolutely hooked (especially the last 100 pages)

[@suzannahslibrary]

How are you finding that Paula’s Choice exfoliator? I’ve been recommended it a few times but it looks quite harsh x

[@whatraereads]

I love it! (Especially alternating it) but it is quite strong stuff, so maybe use it once a week and then work up every other day? It says you can use it twice a day but I wouldn’t recommend ❤️

[@KirstyPritchard-n2l]

Where did you stay in London x

[@whatraereads]

We stayed at the Marriott house n Maida Vale!
