Dusk London bus ride from Golders Green in North London to Central London - Bus Route 139 🚌

[@jenisinjapan]

I know this might not be the most "exciting" travel video out there, but I have a special place in my heart for videos like these! Definitely immerses you like no other -- including the traffic, the not so bright weather, the pedestrians, everything -- even if I've never been to London before, it definitely takes me there and I'm all here for it!

[@missym877]

Exactly! That’s why I like videos like this because it makes me feel like I’m there. Like I’ve seen the world and experienced it. It’s also cool to see how “suburban” or residential areas look compared to your side of the world.

[@pamscruggs2660]

I feel the same way

Fabulous. London bus from the comfort of bed!! Actually fascinated to see London with snow. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@JC-kz3ut]

Literally went through all of my childhood until West Hampstead-ish (Golders Green/Hampstead all my life, now living in the US). Golders Green bus terminal obviously has everything I grew up with, past Child's Hill, where many of my friends lived, past the fork going to West Hampstead (splitting off from Finchley Road, where I lived behind near Fitzjohn's for uni), past my 24 hour budget gym, past the cemetery I used to cycle around with my parents, past the Black Lion and the kebab shop next door, where I have had too many drinks, and definitely too many kebabs... The only question is why KZbin recommended this to me lol

[@l.a.f.8555]

Ohhhh many memories come to my mind!!! Back in the 80s living near Golders Green and taking the 13 to go to Central London!!!

[@patatopesto]

I sincerely say: I swear I look at your city with envy. I applaud whoever has planned it from the past to the present. Horizontal architecture, green and relatively wide streets and avenues. This city prolongs one's life. Because it's spacious! Greetings from Turkey, beautiful people of London.

[@viviennewest1867]

This must have been taken out of the top deck which is great as we can have a view of the route. And of course its been 63 years since I as a child sitting up front with my brothers which we enjoyed and thought it was great.

[@happy--user]

Navigating those narrow streets must be hell. I'd get a nervous breakdown on this job.

[@nanetten6238]

Lots of skill needed to be a London bus driver! Thanks for taking us along on the trip.

[@belle6219]

This is a great way to get a feel for London. Very relaxing, too.

[@adolfosofiao]

Wow! Nostalgic and buzzing with excitement. I grew up in Golders Green. Lovely to see all the familial places in your video. Thank you!

[@routemaster6639]

I also drive Route 139 every day ... thanks for including that !

[@OlavSchneider]

Absolutely amazing, makes me want to go to London.

[@rovhalt6650]

Not much to see. The real London is long gone.

[@phoenix1453]

I think london is most overrated city in europe i do not want to live in there

[@FallacyAsPraxis]

Don't go. Not a good place to be anymore.

[@PeaceDweller]

No matter what part of London you walk in these days you always have to look over your shoulder. Never used to feel that way 20-25 years ago.

[@-Tidgy]

All these ppl saying London isn't a good place, you're not even English 😂 Do you know why London 'isn't great' anymore? It's because of you lot.... Too many foreigners. Go back home 🗑️

[@qqqqcccc5937]

Thank you for always showing the bus route. You have no idea how helpful that is.

[@sobelou]

Thanks for this super video. Driving a bus in London isn't easy at all, and especially those bits on Priory Road and from Oxford Street down to the Haymarket test the patience and skill of any driver. Excellent!

[@consterus]

This trip is very relaxing. It's so interesting to immerse yourself in a different atmosphere, a different culture. It seems like everything is the same - the same people, but at the same time everything is a little different.

[@ttcfilmproduction]

Take a leisurely stroll through the beautiful streets of London. It's lovely ✨

[@leshernandez8577]

The iconic red London buses. But I still can't get used to driving on the opposite side of the road, perhaps like anything one could get used to it if done long enough. London its a very regal city and definitely a must see when traveling to the old continent. Great view, Thanks from Louisiana, USA. 🇬🇧😍

[@patm3814]

I really love these videos ! So clear and so well done - you really feel like you are right there ! Such a delight

[@edenjs1503]

Used to cycle this route more or less every day for several years back in the 90s. Have lived abroad since then and these videos bring back great memories and a new perspective of the changes over the years,

[@bellagirlgirl8827]

I can hear the wind whistling -- so cold!

[@jenniferlevine5406]

Totally captivating video! I want so much to visit London during the festive season!

[@MBihon2000]

Wonderful scenery around London bus routes. Enjoy watching from Detroit, Michigan every episode. I wish I could do it in actuality. I'm retired, nothing much to do.

[@RGC198]

Thanks for sharing. Love all the double deck buses in London. Here in Australia, they are quite rare. Sydney used to have a fleet of double deck buses, but they have all but gone these days. Melbourne's last regular double deck bus service ceased back in the mid 1950's.

[@catherineduc]

Really like the way you filmed it from the first person - like being in London! Thanks very much for sharing :)

[@PeterNorman-xd8tr]

A lovely video with a perfect view of your journey this brings back memories from my time as a London bus driver as I used to be a driver on this route I left in 2012 the route has change a bit I see it now goes from Golders Green it used to start and finish at the Fire station at west end green, also some bus stops moved and road layout but the west end has not changed as regards busy with pedestrians always loved it at Christmas with the lights and people shopping a great Buzz but a driver has to be fully alert with people stepping in the road without looking especially those from other countries that look to the left when crossing.

[@Smartychase]

Thank you I'm a londoner but don't use the buses and when I'm driving I have to pay attention so miss much of the scenery around me so with this I find I can experience London in a relaxing way

[@jeffrykieffer4034]

This is a wonderful video of a great ride in a great city. I have been to London six times in my life. I was very surprised how crowded Oxford St., Lower Regent St. and Picadilly get in the pre-Christmas season. The music track was very good and it was interesting to hear the folks getting on and off the bus: especially the French tourists!

[@asengeorgiev5834]

amazing how narrow the streets are!

[@ruthymccabe]

Built before cars ;)

[@PKGirpadeGroupOfIndustries]

@@ruthymccabeok so you mean since 100yrs that cars have existed they didn't bother to widen them?

[@ruthymccabe]

Well yes, because that would mean knocking all the houses down along the route - very expensive to do.

[@ruthymccabe]

Also bear in mind that not many people in the UK owned even one car up until the 1960's or so, even in London. The architectural style of the houses along most of the route shows that they were built between the 1860's and 1930's. Such high levels of motorised traffic like we have today could not have been foreseen at that time.

[@ramblepie]

This was very nostalgic for me as I used to live near here. Thanks for the video!✨

[@ronkemperful]

Outstanding video of an outstanding city. While we can most certainly applaud the skill and finesse of the bus driver, one must also appreciate the calm, patience, and cooperation of all the city drivers. I live in an area where everyone likes to assert their own rights in preference to those of others, this leads to road rage, honking of horns, and even gridlock on roads that have less traffic volume to start with.

[@willieexplore]

Beautiful views from the upper deck as always! Here's to a 2023 filled with red bus adventures!

[@valfaulkner648]

OMG the crowds around Oxford Circus and Regent Street, I so glad that I am watching from home! The lights are just beautiful and I think that watching your video is the best way of seeing them. Thank you.

[@misst.e.a.187]

Oxford Street was quite thin on the crowd front; but I must say that Regent Street was absolutely heaving, with no place to walk but on the road🤣

[@martinguarchalvarez6035]

The streets look clean and very well maintained, in spite of occasional bottleneck the drivers are polite to each other, no honking or trying to cut others off. Sitting in the first row on the upper deck was always the most coveted spot. I can almost smell London from my sofa.

[@misst.e.a.187]

This is only a tiny fraction of the metropolis. It's not all like this

[@mattterranova2654]

Just two minor things I'm confused about. #1 It says 21:00 as the time, which is 9 pp m(, I'm in the U.S. and we use the 12 hr a.m./p.m. time so 21:00 in Europe-ish is 9 pm in the U.S.) The question I guess is why is it still so bright at 21:00 in December? I'm in New York and once we set our clocks back an hour for fall back, especially in the 2 weeks prior to the solstice on the 21st it's dark as midnight before 5pm! Only during the summer is the sun setting at 9pm. #2 there's snow on the roofs and everyone is bundled up assuming it's at least below the freezing mark but it said it was 50°F? Again here in NY when it's 50° in December any snow we had would have meted and we'd be out in sweaters, hoodies or lite jackets. I guess I'm just confused that England has snow when it's 50°C and the sun is still up at 9pm 4 days before the winter solstice, or some of that info was incorrect? Thanks!

[@JamesDaviesPhotography]

Hi, the bus would be reaching Selfridges around 4pm and it was around 3c during that time in December :)

[@brian13105]

Ya , I'm in Toronto and though I didn't notice the temperature I did notice the time . Also the ride ended at about 3/4 of an hour past midnight which is a 3 & 3/4 hour ride but the video only takes 1hr. 24 min. and doesn't seem to be edited at all . Also London is quite a bit farther north than us but that should mean it gets dark earlier in December not later.

[@petrslivinski7481]

Wow! This ride is incredibly exciting and so much fun. Traffic jams abound these streets. Thank you for sharing.
