London England Travel Tips | East Vs West City Guide

[@williamsjc12]

This has to be one of your best videos of the last few years. Camera work, story line, music, everything was hands down a joy to watch! Way to go!

[@vagabrothers]

Thank you JC!! Really working on upping the quality of every upload! Cheers!

[@JamesBTravel]

East London is the real London. Amazing bars, pubs, food and a diverse range of cultures. West London is all tourist traps. Do North London next (where I’m from!)

[@JamesBTravel]

Sean Naamani Depends which bit of East London you go to. Yeah, if you go to a hipster cafe in Shoreditch you’re going to bump into a bunch of white bearded hipsters drinking turmeric lattes. But East London is massive and diverse. Huge Pakistani, Turkish, Indian, Caribbean and West African communities. Obviously if you let Instagram guide you, you’re only going to end up in the hipster hotspots.

[@danielkim7841]

Isnt East London super dangerous? I've been in West London and it was so stylish and vibrant and sophisticated with such a wealth of architecture, both building and landscape architecture. I can see how people may find it too touristy but I loved it.

[@di7209]

@@danielkim7841 Not really I live there and it’s pretty safe I’d say south is more dangerous than anymore in my experience

[@vasudhasharma2392]

You guys are the best travel bloggers/vloggers and damn together you are guys are too cool. Not to forget the research done in every vlog is amazing. Love it. Keep up the good work.

This video was so informative for non British people, glad to know every slightest bit about London. Thank you

[@AliceDickinsonx]

So happy you did this! I live in London so it’s cool to see you guys around here :)

Thanks Alice!!! We love London. Glad we passed your test :)

[@theshiptavern922]

It was a pleasure to have you guys at The Ship Tavern and look forward to welcoming you and your followers to the Tavern any time!

[@vagabrothers]

Aww thank you!! We love the Ship and will always come back for a pint or two each visit to London! Cheers!

[@NeilQ1962]

Hi Guys, glad you liked London. One slight correction, you don't need to load up your metro cards to use the metro (we call it the underground!) as the whole network accepts contactless payment, just touch in and touch out and the metro system does the rest. Love your videos, keep travelling and inspiring us all.

[@vagabrothers]

Thanks Neil!!! Cheers

[@22671955]

it's true but using Oyster is more convenient than credit cards :)

[@maxmullen6337]

Ettore Mo. No they are not. With credit cards (or debit cards) there’s no “topping-up” and you don’t have to buy the blooming things in the first place - and pay a five pound deposit - which you then have to claim back!!! I don’t know how it works for foreigners, perhaps they have no choice but to buy an Oyster card. But that’s the point. Oyster cards are for people who, for what ever reason, don’t have a payment card acceptable to the London Transport system, which by the way, includes busses.

[@thetruthjustice6324]

They charge you extra using visa/MasterCard your better off buying an Oyster card it’s 10 quid with a 5er credit. Pro tip before you leave you can sell the Oyster card back to the station they’ll give you 5 pound plus the remaining credit

[@maxmullen6337]

TheTruth Justice. According to railway enthusiasts, ordinary credit and debit cards are just a cheap to use as Oyster cards; and in some circumstances cheaper.

[@portia331]

We were in London in July and had tea at the Marriott too! We really enjoyed it. We spent the majority of our time in the Westend. I wish we could have had a private tour of the Tower of London with a Yeoman. Tower of London has gone down in my book as somewhat interesting but mostly a waste of time.

@@vagabrothers hey is awesome! We visited the springs and the asian tacos you've mentioned. Thank you 🤗

[@Besalu]

This is the kind of trade that you can only do if you’re sponsored by someone like VISA because food is extremely expensive in London so it’s basically a fantasy trip not for the real budget conscious person like the rest of us

[@vagabrothers]

The only place that was remotely “pricey” was Sketch. All the other restaurants had affordable options. That being said, yes food in London, as well as many other things can be quite expensive as the UK has a strong currency and is a popular destination. We always do our best to highlight locations for all budgets. Cheers The Vagabrothers

[@22671955]

Whats?!....... the Uk curency is not so strong as you mentioned! its equal to Euro! and the Pound has fallen due to Brexit

[@MillennialTravelConfessions]

Good job on the video guys! However, I do think that most of the places that you dined in (not sure whether you had to dine there because this video is sponsored) are quite expensive and there are better options to choose from for a fraction of the price.

So the western part is more elegant, royal and traditional, the eastern part is more Modern, laid-back. Two words in one city. Interesting. One Day I will definietly visit there. Take care♥️

[@OneGreenTiledStove]

Asia Pudel, they were both in zone one (central London) and the separating in east and west was a bit more narrative. Ducks and waffle for examples is located more western than the Tower of London. All in all you do see the difference (as you would between north and south London), but everything is close together.

Appreciate the places shown on this video but those places in West End in Zone 1 (and hence more like Central London still) aren't what we locals typically think of is West London so the title is a bit misleading.
