I was in London last November and I did my research before hand, prepared thoroughly, there are even whole tube trips on youtube I viewed so when I got there I knew exactly where to go and what to expect. Needless to say, everything went smooth and I had a great time. Except maybe this one time they had shut down St. Johns Wood station because some guy had jumped on to the tracks so I had to find an alternate form of transport, but luckily as if by magic, I saw a bus that said "Victoria" on it which coincidentally was exactly where I needed to go, so I hopped on it and everything was fine again. I Love London! I'm going back again later this year.

I have visited London several times. I plan to visit in the Fall 2022. I havenumerously informed fellow Americans to keep to the right in the Tube!

this channel is the best it's unfair that a good channel like this gets only 5k subs this channel deserves more

"Which could save you a few pund that is better spent on a few pints". My favorite comment :)

[matthewrobertson]

I completely agree about booking in advance! Doing so at attractions can also get you in quicker as well!

[Test-lwdg]

Haha this video is awesome man. I'm a Londoner and you nailed it. Funny too. Good work!!

[Plysdyret]

You drive in the other side of the road. Don't ever change that, it's just a part of this awesome city that I love so much! I don't mind it being a little old-fashioned.

One way streets can approach you from the left. Don't just look right. Notice the "look left" or "look right" lettering on the sidewalk.

The fist thing I was thinking in London is "Don't get hit by a car and look right first before you cross the road".

Then the first time a cross a almost get hit by a car. Dammit!!!

What is it with the UK and walking down escalators, the stairs are already moving in the direction you want to walk.

[teknekon]

Wonderful Syrus! Nothing but NOTHING drives me crazier than poor escalator etiquette! Well done! Love and cheers!👍💗😘🇬🇧

Contactless, Apple pay and android pay are actually cheaper than oyster and no hassle about topping up

[SimonS]

Oyster card can also be used on all trains inside the London zones except Heathrow Express, Heathrow Connect (between Heathrow and Hayes & Harlington), East Midlands Trains, Grand Central, Hull Trains, Virgin Trains and Virgin Trains East Coast.

A common mistake is going on the bus, scanning your card and getting off scanning your card again... your basically spending half your balance!

Hi, Your comment about crossing the road and looking the correct way is so true. A young newly married couple I knew had a Honeymoon in America. One of the first things they did was to take a walk from their hotel. As he crossed the road (being an Australian) he looked the other way stepped on to the road was hit by a car and died.

If you go to london & want to drink or eat go to wetherspoons

[shafhamid]

I'm from Malaysia and when it comes to using escalators, people stand on the left and walk on the right instead. Logic behind this is the same as driving. We drive on the left side of the road the same as in Britain. Slow lane is on the left side and faster or overtaking lane is on the right.

[mrcellophane]

You can save time and money by not booking airport transfers and using the underground from Heathrow or the train from Gatwick (Not Gatwick Express)

[TheRollingBear]

I didn't knew restaurants in London would let me pay %12, 5 extra service

[Dankman]

Films the part where he says you need to look right at a street where you need to look left, good job.
