my first week living in london

[@HannahElise]

MY SHOW IS ONNN

[@MargotLee]

🥰 i love you!!

[@align.byanna]

Aww thank you for this vid Margot. I've just moved to London and I felt it was anticlimactic compared to what I imagined, I'm in my flat and I've done it and lifes just moving along? I expected this perfect clean slate and endless energy to curate my habits and rituals and community...but I'm reminded that these things take time to build! Currently practicing patience and trust that my life will blossom here... just not all at once! ❤ I hope to run into u in town xx

[@fofeeuh]

you are amazing! followed along for years and its awesome to see you in a new place :))

[@megpowers5676]

I was loving all the jokes in this vlog, you had me giggling! So happy for you and this next phase. I'm also in a LDR so I was getting a little choked up just hearing you talk about the couple at the airport

[@nickivsworld]

this feels so full circle!! so excited to follow your journey for the next 3 months. plus we're planning our european honeymoon so im definitely taking notes!!

[@ElenaTaber]

So excited for this chapter for you! I gotta pop on the Eurostar and come say hi ❤

[@kristieseekingsummits]

This is such a fun vlog to watch! So happy for you, Margot…brave and adventurous girl❤

[@kiarabedoya4160]

After I graduated in 2022 I moved to thailand for a year and a half to teach kids english and at first I also felt exactly how u felt. And although everything was new: my environment, people, the places I went to, it still also felt completely normal somehow. life was just continuing and still the same in some way. After awhile it’s YOU who learns, grows, and changes with time and new experiences. Every experience is a lesson and gives you perspective. Happy for you and this move! I’ve been a subscriber since you were in high school :,)

[@leahstein2870]

My dream is to move to London and the mundaneness of the idea that life just continues when you move abroad is so comforting to know that it’s scary to uproot your life and move to a completely new place.

[@aideenobrien6140]

This is so good I was RIVETED. Please keep them coming!! ❤ it’s reminding me of your semester abroad days and making me miss mine!! Wishing you all the best in London. My boyfriend just moved in with me in Canada from the UK so our LDR days are finally over too!! ❤❤❤

[@susanhurdelbrink7958]

I’m obsesseddd with this vlog. So excited for this new adventure for you!!!!

[@camrynrm]

margot I just adore you !! traveling and navigating new spaces can be so intimidating for me and this was so comforting. your content is peaceful and playful and reflective and such a delight (NoPO too - still working on vol 1)!

[@candiceevawilliams6]

Couldn’t wait for this video! Feels like my two fave KZbinrs did a “the holiday” house swap. Emily Canham has moved to LA and you’ve loved to London. Just so exciting can’t wait to follow your journey

[@MargotLee]

omg I'll have to follow along with her videos that's too funny!

[@candiceevawilliams6]

Please do! Enjoy every moment! ❤

[@amehnh]

Ngl, I haven’t caught up with you in awhile but I’m so happy to see that you moved to london!!! Congrats on this new journey margot

[@alexiswetzel1025]

Absolutely obsessed with this new chapter for you!! So excited to watch!

[@itsdaphnevh]

You haven’t appeared on my suggestions for so long and I used to watch all the vlogs! So happy your video appeared again

[@paigehenderson9545]

Welcome to London! I had a totally similar experience to you when I moved to London from NE England a few years ago. I was just like... 'oh this is just my life now' and went full steam with work etc. Looking back I wish I had given myself more props/grace for how insane a change it was. You got this hun x

[@tjh6314]

The way I audibly screamed “YAY” when I saw this video come up at the top of my feed 💋💋💋💋 so excited for you!!

[@yelizamyn]

I feel like new York was a beautiful chapter to witness, been following you since college then over covid! But it feels and looks like since youre american that new york kind of became exhausting or draining? It feels like london has some new fresh air to breathe for you and as if some new light comes through !!! Excited to see the new chapter! Feels refreshing already❤ i remember your first ny apt and your closet you had so much joy dressing and picking your outfits from that closet!!!!! I feel like i missed this over the second apt, it got lost when you attended more fashion shows ! Just something i noticed, never lose your own joy over the big events. The own style is always the best All the best 🎉

[@yelizamyn]

One thing you should definitely plan on doing is explore more of uk and europe! Im living in Germany and i asked myself why i never truly took the time to find acceptable affordable ways to explore more since there are good options to come around europe, if you find the time. 🙏🏼

[@LaraSofie845]

I just looove your videos and everything you mentioned about new beginnings - I felt the exact same when I moved away. Thank you for sharing your light and thoughts ❤

[@ozatanvi]

Your videos are such a burst of sunshine! Thank you for sharing your life with us. Hope you have an amazing week ahead! 😊

[@megamato5088]

Ah this video felt so full circle for me! This time last year I moved to Paris to be an au pair, having never even been to France before and knowing no one there. I cried saying bye to my parents at the airport and as the plane took off I remember looking out the window and shedding a single tear. I felt so silly but also so cinematic because I knew a completely new chapter of my life was starting that I had been so excited for yet was also full of so many unknowns for me! 8 months later I cried in my taxi to CDG having just said goodbye to my host family! All of this to say I really resonate with this video and am so excited for this new chapter of yours and look forward to the London content!

[@ann-charlotte6845]

Welcome to London, Margot 💕I moved to London a couple of months ago, and definitely needed some time to let all the feelings sink in!

[@iammarccolomayt82094]

this vlog is so nice & happy for you Margot! ❤

[@ownyourbold]

So happy for you! I love how unique & relaxing your vlogs are

[@user-qu8zs7vs1x]

Why not take the Eurostar for such a short distance? Much less polluting and actually faster

[@amylin892]

I died when you said you looked like a poodle 😂congrats on the move, Margot! moving to LA from Michigan was one of the hardest things I had to do, so really commend you for making the leap!

[@blc90]

You are the cutest. I'm so excited for this adventure for you!

[@zoecarpenter298]

Love this! So exciting you’re in London (biased as I live here and know you’ve been here before lots but it’s just so fab) You should take the eurostar to/from Paris or Amsterdam at some point as it’s a fun experience and super easy to do

[@laylalamrani7513]

Wait this is so crazy, I used to live in that neighborhood last semester whilst I was studying abroad in London! The world is so so small. Have an amazing time in the city :) I miss it already.

[@anna.seavey]

I completely understand the not feeling like a big change is as “monumental” as you thought-I moved from LA to Paris like 8 months ago and had that same “life is just continuing” feeling. So much change and so much newness but somehow not as crazy feeling as I thought?? In some scenarios it’s kinda sad that it doesn’t feel as exciting, but it’s kind of comforting for the anxiety ridden decisions lol, it’s never as monumental as it seems!

[@MargotLee]

Wow as someone with decision paralysis this is SUCH a good way to look at it

[@tifftungxoxo]

girl im gonna be living in london for a bit too!!! watching your vlog to prep!!!!! hope london is treating you nice

[@yoga.with.sophie]

I just love all your vlogs, and excited to see this new UK chapter for you! Do you mind me asking what jeans you're wearing in this? I couldn´t find them linked with the rest of your outfit xx

[@victorialawrence3890]

Adored this vlog, and it brought back the best memories of studying abroad in Central London ☺️

[@dabigail]

Margot! Just when I thought I couldn't love you anymore. You go and direct a love letter of a vlog set to one of my favorite tunes. Let 'em in!

[@deborahjohnson282]

I hear ya in terms of the expectations around "new" things. I've previously found myself underwhelmed by experiences that i thought would carry more weight in some ways, or deliver a momentous shift in emotion. Then felt so disappointed when those experiences did not deliver. I now see this happens because partly, I have this perfectionist and somewhat idealist expectation around life and its events.

[@pikachulovepeace]

yayy been so looking forward to this vlog!

[@karinamutka507]

I just moved from NY to Florida..long distance relationship for 3 years and it was time to live together which is super exciting! I’m 7 weeks in and it still feels like I’m visiting even though all my things are here, I’m in a routine, and I’m working etc. I recognize it as “new” but it also feels just like a continuation of my path thus far since I’m very much same person no matter where my address is.

[@joannaandrews4780]

The place is so cute! So ideal and cozy for a new adventure

[@erinlee4854]

This came at the perfect time because I’m leaving to go abroad tonight🥹

[@MargotLee]

safe travels!!

[@NikkiLThomas]

GIRL not it taking you well over an entire minute to open that damn baking soda I was like give it to me! haha

[@balletshark0101]

So excited for this new adventure for you!! :)

[@lisettemarissa7061]

You’re so cute with the French haha I was there last week so I feel you on it. I hope you have the most magical time living in London ✨

[@xindigochildx]

So excited for you! Love London

[@matchboxdiares]

Love this new era! Did you talk about your experience at the Salone show before? I’m going this year and don’t know what to expect haha

[@TheMsCroft]

Love the sound editing on this one !

[@Sophie-yg8ox]

i loved the music you chose !!

[@OliviaFunyak]

Where’s the belt from?! In love with it 🤩

[@ldevorah]

The translating & then trying to repeat and memorize what to say is SO real..😭

[@katielouiseE]

Ahhhh omggg I can’t actually believe you are in London!!!! 🤩🤩

[@elodieedna9077]

I live right above Café Clove, I can't believe you were there !! Their coffee is aaaamazing

[@stephanie4537]

Skoob is one of the best bookstores in all of London-so jealous that you live near it!! Take advantage for sure

[@joanneandre4573]

Lovely, sweet and insightful vlog, as always. Welcome to London, Margot. I'm French and live in West London. I might bump into you. Have the best time.

[@lilymacdonald4612]

Margot! Would you ever publish a book in the form of a journal with excerpts from your personal writing? I feel like you have mastered the craft of journaling and provide really nice guidance and life lessons :)

[@amandahilsinger3991]

I feel like it doesn’t feel so crazy because you’ve been in London for longer periods of time so the “culture shock” is more of a “oh hey I know you!”

[@e11ieadyson]

also would love any tips on where to get uncopywrited music to use i love the one you used in here!

[@yaracernich6409]

You’re my fav KZbinr. That’s all I’m gonna say, k byeee🥰

[@michaelanegus9900]

Make sure you do a trip to Durdle Door on the south coast as well as Pistyll Rheadr in Wales! Both 10/10 amazing travel bucket list items you won't want to miss, I swear.

[@MargotLee]

Added both to my bucket list!!

[@michaelanegus9900]

@@MargotLee Other cool spots to check out away from London: Hellfire Caves, Canterbury (do the Canterbury Cathedral, Canterbury punting river tour, and Catching Lives Bookshop), St. Leonard's Church Crypt, Dover Castle, Bayham Old Abbey, Bekonscot Model Village & Railway, and the Jane Austen museum in Bath.

[@allesae]

love your energy ❤❤❤❤

[@heybulldog2276]

First vid and I’m hooked in 20 seconds by the music choice 🤍 Have fun in London!

[@zomg4431]

i friggin love your videos

[@MargotLee]

[@norvina5576]

part of my mornings

[@stephanielake11]

I wish I could do the same…happy for you & this new journey!!💕💕💕

[@julesgermek7594]

omg youre living right near where i studied abroad this summer

[@PatrHerm]

I’ve moved, around 2 years ago, to what is now my life. And I have to say I also didn’t feel like it was such a groundbreaking experience 😅 everyone kept mentioning how big of a step it was, and how brave I was for doing such a 180 on my own. But honestly? It felt completely normal. Now it feels like this was always how it was. I need to constantly remind myself how it was before so that I can remember and feel how big of a step it was. Not sure this makes sense 😅

[@mh1211x]

What’s the reason you decided not to move in/stay at your bf’s place considering you moved there short term only?

[@afloridagalabroad]

When I first moved here, I had to quarantine even though the lock downs had lifted. So it didn't feel "new" for a while. I had started my postgraduate studies and then they went back into lockdown so I didn't really feel like a new chapter till maybe a whole year after I moved.

[@jackmlak]

oh my gosh where is that brown bubble scarf from? too cute!!!!

[@bea.copeland]

Love this! Thanks for sharing! 👏👏

[@triple.scorpio]

hi! can you share what camera you're using and if you need an external mic with it? seems great :•)

[@christinebessah871]

Great choice of music… was at the Paul McCartney concert here in Paris in December and he sang that song. 🥹 Enjoy London. 😊

[@AbbyCatB]

Margaret!! Where is your gray turtleneck from??

[@yc3227]

Just come across your vlog, welcome to London, I’m the opposite and I’ve always wanted to live in New York

[@freyabayer]

Loved it!

[@seaturtlekatsapis7558]

God love this vlog so happy for you!

[@e11ieadyson]

what little white camera is it you use to vlog with? my camera is so big!

[@AnaCarinaMurphy]

I am so happy for you

[@jancarlson2165]

Hi Margot!! Love you ❤❤❤

[@karolinakuni1533]

"....small, round objects" 😛 loved this vlog, Margot! PS. did I misunderstand, you were putting bicarbonate of soda in the fridge in order to keep the inside fresh...? never heard of it! 🤩

[@MargotLee]

Yes!! Baking soda helps with fridge odors

[@em_angldr]

French living in London here 👀 we do actually say 'rendez-vous' for appointment!

[@MargotLee]

the more you know!

[@catc3013]

where is your jacket from???

[@zhexy01]

What’s the camera you’re using to vlog? Thank you

[@louvedrine3661]

Just go here too, would love to grab a coffee !

[@dohasaha4836]

How does it feel to be living my dream ❤

[@SarahDavey]

Welcome! 🇬🇧

[@heathcunningham]

Margot! Where is your cutie fur scarf from?!

[@marinecrnguy]

We do say rendez-vous, we use it with any type of appointment :)

[@apiletcky]

so how much was the hair appointment

[@Angelina-dq2sj]

does anyone know what camera she uses? love you Margottt

[@MargotLee]

Sony ZV1F!

[@carlascalling]

ahhh ive been to that same home show for work!! small world :)

[@ellav9022]

I loved the video but it’s funny because I live in London and I want to move to NYC 😅 But I understand your love is here so it makes sense otherwise I wouldn’t recommend the UK these days. It’s so bad economically and even crime wise, and people are miserable and depressed, the weather obviously. But you have more money than me so you can enjoy it more, I couldn’t afford such a nice modern flat. It’s easier to enjoy a place if you have the money. But either way I’d choose NYC 😅 Havjng said that, coming from the US it will be good for you to explore, it’s a very multicultural city and you’ll learn a lot. Also, Montmartre the first T is silent *Monmart* ❤

[@lindakeaton5999]

I am new to your channel. Love your vlog. Great hair makeover. You and your boyfriend make a cute couple 🥰

[@umjessicaflynn]

my Siri turning on when you said “hair theory”

[@eliseelise2425]

Im dead u practicing my language is killing me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤

[@AmeliaHaye-u3o]

very interesting content, thank you

[@susangladstone357]

Very cute flat!

[@rileylawson9958]

Also you can just say “RDV” if you don’t want to say the whole rendez-vous thing lol

[@crisosb8405]

Did you quit your job in New York or take a leave of absence?

[@MargotLee]

I work for myself doing social media and running my business No Particular Order :)

[@rileylawson9958]

Did you get a UK visa?

[@ohaggie]

U.S. and Canadian nationals, plus many other Nationalities, can visit the U.K. without a visa for up to 6 months. The legal document is called an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA)- www.gov.uk/guidance/apply-for-an-electronic-travel-authorisation-eta#who-can-apply

[@itsteagstho4928]

Looove.
