What NOT to do in ENGLAND - DON'Ts of England [U.K. Travel Guide]

[@briwire138]

Just to correct a few things. While most pubs close at 11pm, many stay open later if demand is there, such as at weekends. Often 2 or 3am. Clubs will be open even later. Days in June are very long, sunset at 9:50pm. Remember there is more to England to London, and respect queues.

[@bubblemummy1]

We love small talk, maybe in London they don't as they're always in a rush but out of London people are very friendly and chatty. If you want to get us Brits talking just comment on the weather! We'll have plenty to say then! 😊

[@Kellythistleton]

or moan most brits love a good moan 🤣🤣 i wish i could say just kidding but its true ha ha ha

[@Kellythistleton]

but yea we love small talk as a rule

same i live in north eastern england also when people talk about the uk how come itsonly about *london*

[@shanellemurrey9300]

@@lindseydvariety ig because London is the capital of England it’s the only city anyone outside the UK cares about lol. Although, never understood why there’s so many people that think all of Britain and the UK are both just England. Honestly feel kind of bad for Welsh people, they always get forgotten about

[@lindseydvariety]

@@shanellemurrey9300 Wales is a nice place its beautiful

[@laurenthurston6284]

Tip 20% but only when dining in. You don’t have to in cheap cafes but do it if you like them. We eat lunch from 12-4 and dinner 6-9pm. And we have plenty of clubs, usually open until 4am.

[@gmdhargreaves]

Many things wrong- my advice to anyone wanting to come to England/UK is come, get over here right now and be welcomed and never want to leave , but lovely voice, and lovely video. well done mate

[@davparkin]

Don't jump queues, the English won't like it, we may let you in front of us out of courtesy, but don't just rush to the front.

[@chloeharmer2403]

The ones about not queue jumping and standing on the right side of the escalator are big don'ts here. Small talk is polite OUTSIDE of the main cities. Just a couple more 1. On dining etiquette - don't ask for a doggy bag and use both your knife and fork together 2. don't be offended by the banter, we love to take the piss, all in good fun

[@josyms7849]

Most hire cars are manual gear shifts so if you want an automatic shift you should stress this to the rental company.

[@Snowphi]

Brilliant video I'm English and I'm late, greet people inappropriately and chat to people on the tube so I can confirm all these make all people very awkward. Relax I've survived 44 years getting it all wrong. I do say 'thank you', 'please', and 'sorry' a lot and love tea.

[@citrine65]

But do you say You're welcome? I heard no. 😀

[@Amber86queenbee]

Love the footage on this! Your videos just are so good and still has great tips and different to your other videos. In terms of driving as an Aussie the left is normal but what was shocking is DON'T fail to look up the road signs in advance. My sister did and then we were so confused on the speed limit the first day as they have a diagonal line to signify the speed on certain roads. Also it is very strange that they drive on the left but stand on the right on escalators. And finally don't fail to get out of the cities - some of the best places I have slept are the castles.

[@HungryPassport]

Hey there, so nice to hear from you 😎 and thanks as always!!! Yes, so many interesting rules that are totally different from everywhere else, but that’s also prt of the charm… How are things down under? Ciao (currently) from Florence where things are almost back to normal!

[@Amber86queenbee]

Hungry Passport yes it is the part of the charm of travelling but researching in advance helps to make the best of a location's rules and norms. Glad to hear your home is safe and well and getting back to normal. My state of Queensland is fine - for the most part life is normal here and no community transmission. Sydney is trying to contain an outbreak and it looks like it won't be until late 2022 or even later that our international borders will open. State borders keep opening & closing so people don't even want to travel within oz. So it will be a while to go but I will just be busy saving and researching so I can make the most of it when it is safe to travel!

[@HungryPassport]

Glad to hear things are okay, but so sad you won’t be able to travel soon… hopefully you can do some domestic traveling until then and plan in the meantime, we’ll try to bring more videos soon 😎

[@aaronpaul01]

Wow wonderful place, I thought that England is just famous because of London

[@tashylon]

Wanna go there again 😍

[@LB-my1ej]

It aggravates me that people think London is the only place in England. It’s just a big city, get out of London and see the real beauty of England

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Thanks for this wonderful video n thanks for sharing d useful info on England.

[@zoethepineapple1486]

A quick correction for the title The UK is not England so it can't be called England and the UK at the same time. It is either the travel guide for the UK or just England.

[@thetravelguide2]

I’m British and whilst we do love tea we arent obsessed with it

[@MavinVlogt]

Yeah agreed. Like I'll have no more than 1 mug of tea every other day

suprised unless i missed it no mention of our rounderbouts and what is 4pm tea N cakes 🤣🤣🤣 4pm tea time means dinner time its a regional slang and also tea time / dinner time starts anywhere from 4pm to 8pm depending on age groups in house small childen eat earlier where a house full of adults would usually eat later due to work ect

[@ryangreenway5707]

Wales is beautiful too not just England

[@brigidsingleton1596]

I absolutely and totally abbor the practice of complaining that British / English / UK foods are not good, even if only generally-speaking. That habit was started by American GI's during WWII when our countries foods were strictly rationed, as inbound merchant shipping bringing in foods to our shores, were targeted and frequently torpedoed by German submarines. We have, since the post-war rationing was ended, come a long way regarding both our own countries foods and the inclusion of incoming recipes by a variety of worldwide immigrants. Regarding pickpockets, as far as I'm aware, they exist in other main cities around the world too. Just be aware that your belongings will always be tempting to others and not everyone you meet will be honest, though the majority of us _are_.

[@acommentator4452]

re hiring a car and driving in UK. i think you should mention that using a mobile phone while driving is strictly forbidden, and you will be fined if caught doing so. you must not hold a mobile phone while the car is moving or while the engine is switched on, so even if stationary in traffic, it is an offence to hold a mobile phone. the police are very hot on this. also on seatbelt use which is compulsory for all occupants and appropriate child seats. children under age 12 or 4' 10" tall must not travel in front seat, unless airbags have been de-activated. frequent checks are made by police on all these, also drink/drugged driving.

[@OnWalks]

Good info of London 🙂

[@mintyisntaken5454]

if your touring in UK in the summer visit blackpool you wont regret it.

[@raybiscoejr5684]

Food is good never mention food around me let me figure it out my self when is good time but shift stick cars love it and that tea do lion good and I always look left if you see me looking left first in London or anywhere else just to let everyone know that’s the natural instinct in United States I specially in Lexington park Maryland oooooooooooh linger daytimes till 9 in summer like the McDonald slogs “I’m lovin it”

[@kevinhindmarsh9980]

You're wrong about the nightlife and about the prices. Most pubs do close at 11pm as you said but the nightclubs are all usually open until around 4am, you definitely don't want to go to a nightclub/bar in London anyway as you'll be bankrupt after paying £11.50 for a vodka & coke which you'll get for £2.50 at most other clubs anywhere else. London is genuinely the most expensive city in England, the big cities here are generally a lot more expensive than any small town but London is by far the most expensive city of them all with it being the capital.

[@Kellythistleton]

there wrong about a few things but still good effort im guessing the small talk is threw an experience and we as brits are good at picking up vibes of someone not in a good mood 😁 also the bar thing and night clubs tho many have shut down these days and also im still shocked at no roundabout mentions and what the hell is 4pm tea n cakes 🤣🤣🤣

[@petercdowney]

A major reason why London is so expensive is because the UK economy is so heavily centralised in London that demand for both housing and commercial premises is through the roof. The reason why a pint of Guinness often costs more than £5, especially in Central London, is because commercial rents are extremely high.

[@carleeroseterangi6923]

England is not expensive. London is. I’m from the north. £4 for a double gin and tonic, i come to london and it’s £10.80. In the supermarkets 75cl of gin is £12…go figure

[@theodorajackson6233]

Hi hungry passport I have a question on what to wear in England and what not to wear while visiting London I'm planning on visiting there in 2024

[@acommentator4452]

it is best to wear clothes in most locations.

[@jameshart6196]

Depends on the weather , take a range of clothes so you’re prepared for all types of weather , given it can be very random over here

[@shannonrose4842]

Not accurate there isnt a DONT get stabbed

[@fearlessfishman]

So many untrue cliches in this video I lost count. British food is great - we don't live off fish and chips. We're also, because of our history, more multi-cultural than most places so have cuisine from everywhere. Don't confuse London with England (and definitely not Scotland or Wales). It's like judging France by a visit to Paris. London is more expensive and not as friendly. As @beanybobs says below we love small talk. We are polite but we're not reserved. It's a stereotype. Some pubs close at 11pm but there are many pubs and clubs open till 2 or 3am or later. The nightlife is great. Go to independent coffee shops, not Starbucks (yuk!). I've done afternoon tea twice in my life for fun - and I'm 55 years old.

[@the1likesaf]

Sorry but you’re wrong about the night life. Especially in London and major cities. Night life is reserved more for Friday and Saturday evenings, but it’s there ok! Ok.

Bro I’m English and No one goes for afternoon tea

[@acommentator4452]

only rich foreigners with more money than sense. nobody takes it at home either. unless they have staff. other people either drink tea/coffee all day or when they feel like it. nothing to do with time of day. if working, fit in when possible. a biccy is the extent of the food with it. this is all nonsense from watching silly tv programmes. 99% would laugh at this.

[@alisontaylor7236]

Speak for yourself 'bro'. I often go for high tea and I always make my tea in a teapot 'bro'. Ps majority of British don't say 'bro', usually the inner city 'init'

[@saphyrobin4715]

I don't think the escalator one is necessarily true unless it is specified (in writing on the escalator or a sign) if not then It doesn't really matter, unless im wrong

[@zoethepineapple1486]

It depends how busy it is. If you are in the London underground and you stand on the wrong side you might annoy a few people so to be on the safe side I would just go with it.

[@acommentator4452]

you are wrong. this annoys people very much. unless there are few people using the escalors, with lots of empty steps, always stand on the right, and pass on the left. to the australian who wondered why it is reverse of driving on left, i think because most people are right-handed, it enables them to hold on with the stronger hand.

[@stevelee2504]
