I spent an efficient one day in London. If anyone wants to refer to: I arrived at the Kings Cross Station around 2pm and then walked to the tower bridge while checking the shops along my route. After tower bridge at 5pm i went to the borough market nearby for dinner. At night i went to SOHO (it was lit!), then the next morning i checked out of my hotel and went buckingham palace for the changing of the guards at 11am.

Thanks so much! To be honest, making content that works for kids of all ages, interests etc is pretty tough especially considering I personally don't have children so I do not have experience of travelling with them. Maybe one day we will have people to help with stuff like that but for now it's a good idea to just scope out the stuff that your kids are genuinely interested in and choose to do those things :)

I'm currently planning my solo trip to London in September and I'm so glad I've found your channel and especially this video, as I was only considering Airbnb. I've read your article on why you don't recommend it and I agree so much with it, I would very much prefer if my tourist dollars can help the economy as we're all recovering from the pandemic (: plus I was looking at a few Airbnbs and felt really unsafe on the ones that have a few rooms in a single building and having other people I don't know in the building just sounds, weird and questionable. Never know what could go wrong, I'm already worrying my family on insisting going alone and I think the idea of me staying in a hotel is much more better now (: Thank you so much for the effort on making this video, so many tips that would help make my trip awesome, I can't wait already!

Just a correction on the point about postcodes. The first postcodes in a series are in Central London (like W1, W2) but then after that they are alphabetical based on the area name, not the distance from Central London. So W3 = Acton, W4 = Chiswick, W5 = Ealing, W6 = Hammersmith and so on.

[@jacks5kids]

One correction: From 5:50. The "2" in postal district "WC2" is not related to how far the area is from the center. For example NW8 (Cricklewood) is further out than NW8 (St John's Wood). The allocation of these numbers (at least for the more central postal districts) was originally related to the alphabetic order of the place name.

Quick comment about point 2. Remeber the voltage int he UK is 230v as it is across most of Europe. This means a simple adaptor is all you need. However, the US and Canada for example use 120v, so make sure whatever you plug in from there can accept a 230v input. Most laptop chargers can but phone chargers often don't.

[@NatsuMatto]

At least from my experience, all electronics will charge with a simple adapter. At least all of my Apple products (laptop, iPhone, iPad, etc.) have charged just fine.

[@loveandlondon]

Most phone chargers from the US only need adapters at this point too!

Hello friend good morning 🌄 Thanks for great sharing Greatting from Macau

Speaking of plugs, if a plug isn’t working, it’s because they mostly have a little switch on them to turn them on and off. Speaking of cards, you can just tap your debit card to get on the Tube.
