I’ve been testing their products over the past few months (including on my recent flight to London) and love how comfortable and breathable the fabric is, as well as how long it lasts between washes... even after a 10h flight!

The BEST and most detailed guide to London I have ever watched. Concierge quality information, especially on how you can see St Paul's and the London skyline for free.

I'm a native Brit and Londoner, but my husband is American and he's visiting England for the first time and here I am lol searching for places to take him to! Thanks, one of the best guides on YT!

Wow! The WORK that has gone into this!!! Very impressive. I've lived here for 10 years and haven't done some of the things on this list. You've inspired me to get out there.

This is seriously THE best, most complete, informative video I have watched as I have been researching for my first visit to London (and I think I probably have easily watched several hundred). The minute I saw you had posted a new video, I had to click, like and share. I have always loved your videos, and I think you are the most generous person to share such in-depth guides. This is truly the only video someone would need to watch before visiting London. Thank you for the time and efforts you go to for those of us who get to sit back and watch!

I am studying abroad in London in Westminster and was a little nervous, but this really just gave me so much Joy and I am so 🙌🏾

I’ve watched a dozen YouTube videos and you’ve tackled so many alternatives that other’s have missed or just glossed over, like the museums. I’m going to g to be rewatching and adding things to be my Wanderlog. Thank you!!

[tonimiller]

Wow! There's some real gems here that I did not know about for our trip later this year. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into this!

You always “knock it out of the park”, Christina! Thanks to you, I now have a good idea for planning a future visit to London.

[jonathanporras]

Going to London next week! You made a comprehensive list of must-do and must-visit places! Thank you very much!

[edwarddavid]

I am planning my next trip and you saved me HOURS of research! Thank you !

[janellegilson]

You did an amazing job on this! I so enjoyed learning all about the different areas. So excited about Sir John Stan's house visit!!

During my trip to London in May 2024 I visited Battsea Power Station and even had lunch at Gordon Ramsay's there. I had absolutely no idea that it was newly opened, less than 2 years ago, thanks to you I now know. I enjoyed my tour of Battersea Power Station.

We’ve been to London at least 7-8x but you still managed to suggest so many good places. We’ll definitely be visiting your other recommendations this month. Great video 👍🏻 ❤

[mialovestravel]

This video came at the perfect time as I’m planning my trip for this September! 💗

[MeagsLife]

I'm hoping to visit London for the first time in Oct/ November, I'm so excited!

[doreensteinberg]

I am 84 and spent the first 34 years in London. Was evacuated, returned to London during the bombing as at 3 I said I would rather die in London with my parents. London means everything - its beautiful buildings and history. Your.
video was amazing I have you tube films of Churchill’ and Queen Mother’s funerals and helicopter trip over London. Thank you so much for bringing back so many memories and showing some places to explore

[McGrathPete]

Wow, I’ve lived in London all my life, and there’s some things in here I didn’t know about! What a well put together video, thank you!

[vramarathnam]

Thanks a Lot. I have never seen such a comprehensive guide with practical tips. I have a good idea now when i plan my trip next year. Great efforts you have taken to present this with a common man's perspective.

[Queensletterme]

Your vocal tempo on this video is PERFECT!!
I felt as in a comfortable conversation with an informative friend.
HOWEVER your fast talking pace as in the BRUSSELS video is fierce and totally unenjoyable.

Keep your own natural beautiful tempo. It l enhances the message you share!

Thank you!!
