I love the oldest pubs in London, there's so much history. The George Inn, Southwark (est. 1677), Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese (est. 1667), Ye Olde Mitre in Holborn (est. 1546). They are fantastic pubs, such an atmospheric setting to spend an hour or two in, highly recommend! :) x

I had Alice in the Wonderland afternoon Tea at Sanderson hotel, it was so cute and amazing with all the Alice themed sweets and teas. I highly recommend it for more quirky afternoon tea, costs £48pp. I always liked Soho for food and bars, it's my go-to place for a night out in London and also has lots of amazing Korean restaurants which is my favourite cuisine. Tombo cafe is also great for anyone who loves Japanese and matcha anything.

Love this video! I was in London last May specifically for photography trip. I completely agree with shooting in SoHo at dusk. It was the perfect lighting and there were a bunch of interesting people to photography. I was there on Friday which was great because there were plenty of people walking around and visiting the pubs, eating and shopping. I also really enjoyed Shoreditch for street photography too. I went on a Saturday morning when the market was happening. Really great street scenes and tons of murals. Another one of my favorites is Camden Town. It is such a great place to shoot. There are a bunch of people walking about and and I took so many pictures in that area. There are also street performers in Camden which always makes for cool shots.

We’ve got two weeks coming up in May for our fourth stay and are no less excited than ever. Well definitely try a couple of the restaurants you recommended. We also enjoy eating one evening during our travels at a Michelin Star restaurant and the last couple times have gone to Le Gavroche and while we loved it would definitely like a recommend on another option if you have one to suggest. The Daunt Books in Marylebone is our favorite and the bonus is it’s only a couple store fronts from Emma Bridgewater’s, one of my favorite shops for wonderful tableware and kitchen bits and bobs.

Your videos have helped me a lot as I plan to visit London for the first time Feb 1-8th 2020! The weather seems to mimic Tacoma so I'm prepared but your "staying warm" video helped. I HAVE to do a Harry Potter type nerdy tour mainly to share with my daughter, so I'm doing the walking Muggles Tour. I'll let you know how it goes! We get to do High Tea at The Landmark London on Sunday where my husband's work event had us booked. We are so excited for that! I'll give you my feedback on that too!

They are smart and always a bit different. Looking forward to heading there in May armed with more of your suggestions. PS. My tip is to check out the Last Tuesday Society in Hackney. Cocktail bar and absinthe lounge upstairs, creepy, slightly pervy museum downstairs. The kind of weird, eccentric cool London does so well.

Also, if you want a taste of DUCK & WAFFLE but don't want to wait, check out the DUCK & WAFFLE LOCAL offshoot in the West End (near the Piccadilly Circus tube station). It's a more accessible version of the original with a scaled down menu. You can still the order the signature duck & waffle for £16 (instead of £19 at the original). View does not compare, though!

Like the vids - but as a born and bred Londoner, it’s striking that (other than Camden Town) you don’t like North London - it’s all South, West and a little bit East. What about some recommendations for Hampstead (not just the Heath), Highgate, Islington, Primrose Hill ...
@loveandlondon4 жыл бұрын
Who said I don't like north London? I live south so naturally more of my recommendations will be from there.
@NicholasNA4 жыл бұрын
So how about exploring some more. North London has so much more to offer than any other part of London (I admit that I am a little biased here). Within an easy walk of Hampstead Tube you can visit the Freud Museum, Keat’s House, 3 Willow Road (Goldfinger’s home), Fenton House, Burgh House, Hampstead Heath, old coaching inns, lots and lots of good pubs, Hampstead Theatre, the theatres of the Royal Central School (almost free performances by tomorrow’s leading actors), cafes, shops, views, the Chalybeate Well, restaurants (good and indifferent), architecture (old to very modern), recording studios, places of worship, art galleries, graveyards where the famous were buried, stand where Constable painted some of his iconic views ..... And that is just a small part of NW3. Get out a little .... ;)
