visiting LONDON for the first time with a LOCAL

We never claimed to be experts on the history of places on this channel... and we happily add Dan to the list 😅 Today we got to have our friend, Dan, take us around London! From Starting at the Buckingham Palace to eating at the chic Borough Market, we came to find out that london is pretty rad. Join us for a hilariously inaccurate historical vlog of London 🤣

ABOUT US:
Hey! We are Kyle and Madie, two 20-something year old kids who live to travel. We have been together since 2016 and graduated college in December of 2021. We left August 27, 2022 to travel the world and travel on a budget of $60 a day as a couple. Follow along with us to see some epic places and see if we are able to stay on budget. Cheers! :)

To be fair, Charing Cross is about 300 feet away (East) from the point where Dan said the distance to London is measured from.

[@kyleandmadie]

He was very close! We just like to give him a hard time 🙂

[@raymondadams7570]

I admire you for not getting ripped off on the london eye, some people go up the shard or the sky garden for the view, i don't think your tour guide could get a job as a tour guide

[@kyleandmadie]

I think he’ll stick to his day job 😂

[@renz02818]

those kids looked pretty excited seeing that someone is vlogging in front of them :D

[@louiem2]

Cool vid guys, as a Londoner i really enjoy seeing visitors perspective of the city👍🏻

[@Mark_Bickerton]

The monarchy is only "Really contentious" for those that object to it. Those of us who are happy with it... it's not at all contentious... and that is most of us! Edited, cos I suck at typing.

[@adventuresforthecurious]

I really enjoyed your video! You both make me smile and Dan seems like the "perfect" addition! Just found your channel, but had to subscribe and I'm going to check out rest of your channel! Thanks for bringing joy to KZbin!

[@kyleandmadie]

Thanks so much!!! :)

[@michaelwiebe4282]

Great vlog! Love you both!

[@kyleandmadie]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@esands8874]

And on this trip we found out that Dan was actually from Milton Keynes

[@stirlingmoss4621]

Dan is your typical Brit...knows nothing about everything.

[@kyleandmadie]

😂 gotta love him ❤️

[@lyledeevore1389]

Cool vid... Hope you get up to Oxford. The City of Spires!!! Not far from there is Stratford-upon-Avon, home to Shakespeare and on the way from Oxford is Blenheim Palace home of the Duke of Marlborough and birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill.

[@bobbybigboyyes]

Funny how your 'local' expert gets Westminster Bridge wrong, then says "He'll take you to Greggs bakers where most tourists don't go" because ALL tourists go there because its so good and so cheap! 😂😋

[@KaziShumon]

Very nice Vlog in london

[@VERY_VARIOUS_VIDEOS]

Hello. Very nice London video, thank you for sharing, I like it 👍

[@kyleandmadie]

Thank you very much!

[@BeckyPoleninja]

Most atm's here don't charge fees..what accent were you trying to do lol

[@kyleandmadie]

Maybe not on your local cards, but they do on ours!

[@lyledeevore1389]

I hope someone clarified that the "Bell" is Big Ben and the structure is "The Clock Tower". Queen Elizabeth liked to spend her time in London at Windsor Castle. Quite a few of the royal family live at Kensington Palace and their last name was Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. George V changed it in 1917.... Was too German for WWI England!!!

[@paulficken5561]

There’s always one pedant. Everyone calls it Big Ben.

[@lyledeevore1389]

@@paulficken5561 That's not true. Proper English know it's history and refer to it in the correct way.

[@shaggyz102]

Thought it was renamed to the Elizabeth Tower?

[@paulutd69]

​@@shaggyz102Was originally St. Stephen's Tower and in 2012 to honor Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee was changed to Elizabeth Tower. But I believe most people refer to it as Clock Tower. Americans routinely just call the whole thing Big Ben.

[@darkmatter6714]

8:30 That’s a pretty decent Pakistani accent

[@kyleandmadie]

I think we will have to agree to disagree on that one 😂

[@RollerbazAndCoasterDad]

Nobody but crazy folk pay that price for the eye. If you book in advance it is cheaper. For example today (sunday) they are offering 40% off for tuesday-thurs. Or, you buy a bottle of yazoo milk shake for just over £1 (or various cereals and soaps) that has a buy one get one free adult ticket on it. Or you buy a multi attraction ticket in advance to go to say the eye and the London Dungeon. Or you buy a Merlin pass (lowest tier under £100) that lets you into the eye, every Dungeon attraction in the UK, the sealife centres, madame tussauds, shrek, peter rabbit, the blackpool tower, cadbury world..... Oh and Legoland, Altton Towers, thorpe park and Chessington World of Adventures and much more, repeatedly for a year.

[@RollerbazAndCoasterDad]

If you feel you missed something though we have a vlog. Oh and he wasn't massively wrong, charing cross is the old name for trafalgar square and the point is in the sqaure but on a traffic island behind where you were.

[@kyleandmadie]

We just like to give Dan a hard time 😁

[@Tanuj186]

Dan being antisocial!!

[@donaldomahoney1774]

Just to say its not a British accent its an English accent

[@kyleandmadie]

that is very true! In the US we typically would call it a British accent, but it definitely is an English one :) How do you think it was? Have to admit, it wasn't my best haha

[@dogwithwigwamz.7320]

That was a `terrible London accent,` not an appalling English / British one. Try YT, "The Water in Majorca, doesn`t taste like it ought to.."

[@Iskandar64]

Your London Friend seems to have taken you to all the shit places. Why?

[@kyleandmadie]

I mean we planned the trip to London…

[@jerzy7118]

There is a lot to see in London, but it's expensive, it's not like Poland that for 60 dollars you can visit and eat your fill and the hotels are cheap. I invite you again when you finish your van.🌏🚐

[@kyleandmadie]

Haha we would completely agree!!! Definitely more expensive than Poland. We would love to come back!
