American’s FIRST TIME on London UNDERGROUND! & Walking Abbey Road

We were bot able to ride the Underground at the beginning on our trip to London due to a strike, but it’s back open and we are hopping on!!

We are heading to Abbey Road to walk the zebra stripes made so famous by The Beatles! Will our first time go perfect… or do we get lost in the big city???

Oh no! As soon as you mentioned Abbey Road and DLR in the same sentence I knew you were headed in the wrong direction! Glad you got there in the end! 🇺🇲

[renatobernardin]

As a Londoner you gave me a good laugh seeing you both trying to find the Beatles Abbey Road. I nearly choked with laughter when you said you were using the DLR and were not on the Jubilee Line. Glad you posted your adventure as you saw and experienced a lot of the network. By the way, if you had stayed on the DLR it might have taken you to Greenwich where you would have experienced a bit of UK's maritime history and could also straddle the prime meridian line ie one leg east of 0 degrees and one leg on the west side. Loving your blogs.

Standing on the left-hand side of the escalator _every_ time! lol. You're lucky it wasn't busy or you would have had some very angry Londoners to deal with.

I left London 26 years ago & when I went back for a visit with my husband he was amazed I could navigate the Underground without a map. One never forgets after living there.

As a Londonder your journey to Abbey Road station to find the famous zebra crossing literally had me in stitches.... and yes, Londoners expect you to stand on the right, or they will ask you to move over or just give you 'the look' lol.

As an American who has lived in the UK / London for 35 years, I would recommend highly a visit to Hampton Court Palace. It's a 35 minute train ride from Waterloo Station. There is a beautiful park across the road and on the southwest side of the Thames, a road with antique shops, pubs and a great Lebanese restaurant. The grounds of Hampton Court Palace are large and beautiful. It's a great half of full day out.

In the 1970 I was at uni in Stratford and there was a campus at Abbey Road . Trust me the Beatles weren't there - a very nice sewage pumping station was though

Abbey Road station is always able to cheer up a Londoner when passing through. You'll not find another station on the network with a higher concentration of confused looking tourists.

I'm a Californian. I love it over there. Welcome to the Underground. May you visit it often. And I love it as much as I do.
The first time I went to London in 1994 I felt so overwhelmed by the Underground that I didn't bother to figure it out. On the second trip I was determined to get the hang of it. Now I'm overwhelmed with joy when I take family members for the first time. "No, no. You're going to love it!" Oh I miss the Isles!
The standing on the right. On one trip as I came from the train I could hear someone in the distance shouting something. As I got closer to the escalators I could see a pretty well inebriated man standing at the bottom of the escalators. A security guy was keeping an eye on him but hadn't yet stopped him to escort him out. As I stepped on the escalator the inebriated man drew in a big breath and let out in a sing song voice the yelling I had heard from a distance but hadn't been able to determine what was said. In that booming voice on the right! on the right!" It still cracks me up.

I was born and raised in London and started using the underground in 1960 when I first started work. Finsbury Park to Goodge Street back in those days. I am an old lady now and still miss my hometown. Love watching it in 2022.

Your enthusiasm for everyday London things is great!

Towards the end of his life Freddie said “All my lovers asked me why they couldn’t replace Mary, but it’s simply impossible' The only friend I’ve got is Mary, and I don’t want anybody else. To me, she was my common-law wife. To me, it was a marriage.” She was a constant throughout his life - and she still lives in that house.

You guys were really happy enjoying the sights of London our capital city thanks for coming to visit us 🇬🇧♥️🇺🇸

[lindalaliberte]

I think it's terrific that you guys took advantage of the underground system. I like the way you two aren't timid about trying new things. Looking forward to your next video! 👍🙂

[peterellison]

My grandparents lived in the flats opposite. As a child, I remember going out on their balcony to watch all the fans waiting for The Beatles to arrive or leave. Lots of screaming! The confusion over Abbey Road Station is totally understandable. As soon as I heard they'd named a DLR station Abbey Road, I knew there'd be problems for tourists.

[smyles]

We went to London for a week in 2018 and my daughter loved the underground system. We are from NYC and she at 11 years old said that it was cleaner and more convenient than the NYC subway. We can't wait to go back and see more of England!! Thanks for the tour!

[adoculos]

Haha, I thought what, Stratford?? They're going the wrong way.🤦😂

[susanford]

You two are lovely. So glad you made it to the real Abbey Road zebra crossing. I hope you had a great time & enjoyed all of the usual tourist destinations.

[chriswilson]

Love you guys!!!! Really hope you enjoyed it over this side of the pond...🇬🇧🇺🇸 🤝✌

7:17 Just as a fun fact, the longest escalator on the London Underground is actually at Angel station, at 60 metres (197ft) long
