Buckingham Palace is actually huge -just the front facade is an extension added on in the 20th Century. The complex stretches far back, and has nearly 800 rooms, and is one of 6 royal palaces (and about 30 if including smaller ones). The largest is Windsor Castle with over 1, 000 rooms. Also Soho is the original one -it's named after a hunting cry when the area was deer grounds for the king 500 years ago.

The dislike for Americans thing is most of the world not just a London thing 😂. Most Americans are perfectly fine people but sadly a loud minority who act like they are superior than the rest of the world can give the whole country a bad reputation.

The area in the West End known as Soho, derives its name from a hunting cry from when the area still used to be fields. (South of Horton is I think in New York).

Richmond is my town! Love Tide Tables. Been going there for years. The food is sensational. All Fair Trade, vegetarian, organic, locally made cakes, sweet pastries and savoury pies, incredible smoothies and juices.

So did you enjoy London? What did you like? What didn’t you like? What surprised you? Give us more insight into your experiences

[simpson]

You packed a lot into your five you should have stretched it out to at least fifteen! Glad you got to Richmond Hill and Park. My favourite part of London.

It’s the tube but the subway / it’s the pavement not the sidewalk. London is much much larger than just the central area you stayed… personally I wouldn’t stay off Bond St but I can’t argue it’s central …

Big Ben is the name of the Bell and the tower is called Elizabeth Tower.

It’s Nostalgic！I wanna go back to London, U.K. again！Your London video was very good👍👏🇬🇧

Why do ALL American travel blogs involve a trip to either McDonalds or Starbucks?!

[nickdadon]

Was that parle pantry in Chiswick? Did you walk up from Turnham green? My old stomping grounds, I get back there yearly! If you visit london again, I’ve a list as long as your arm for alternative places to visit! Also the anti American thing, can often just be just banter, take it with a pinch of salt, most people will like you (but not US politics). When I lived in the US as a Brit I got verbally bashed all the time, but realized people didn’t really mean it! Just banter. And every third person I met would try do a terrible Brit accent at me, “ello guyuvnr” etc 😂

I like London if you come over again to the UK there are lovely places outside London Gloucestershire, Devon and lots more.

The city, London is so vast a lot of neat places are less touristy & trust your if you feel at can still sight see if you want

[johnwaldron]

Sadly an awful lot of American visitors and other foreign nationals must think London is the U.K, as if it’s a walled city they have to stay within and never venture beyond. In truth there’s so much more of the U.K to visit and much more historical. When you venture out everything will be so much cheaper at a slower pace and the people are more welcoming and friendly.
