Күн бұрын

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???

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.

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 "Staaaaaannnnd on the right! Staaaaand on the right!" It still cracks me up.

I took this advice on my very first trip there and spent half of my trip in Kent, basing myself out of Canterbury. You are so right. Next trip is booked and though I have a few places in London I want to see, I'm actually going to treat those as the day trip and base myself somewhere close by. What Americans need to remember is that over there, places that are "far away" and seem like they shouldn't be done are actually what we Americans typically consider a daily commute. Or less. Look up your distances and travel times and judge for yourself.

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.

Fun fact. Before the underground map you used was designed, previous maps were drawn as geographical locations, which was very confusing to travellers. Henry Charles Beck was an English technical draughtsman who created the present London Underground Tube map in 1931. Beck drew the diagram in his spare time while working at the London Underground Signals Office. He believed that Underground passengers were not concerned with geographical accuracy and were more interested in how to get from one station to another and where to change trains. Which is the map you used. Beck's system has now been adopted all over the world.

Regarding the hot trains, the (deep level) tube lines .were bored through London Clay which has absorbed the heat generated by the trains passing for many years and the temperature has been steadily rising all that time, despite the constant ventilation. The sub-surface lines were built by the cut and cover system and had much more ventilation, as they were originally designed for steam trains.

Our underground is much cleaner than the filthy NY metro subway. Glad you liked our underground trains.

I live London and it’s fabulous fun working out how to get to places. Sometimes it’s quicker to walk between stations e.g. Marylebone to Baker Street or do quick short cuts which they don’t tell you on the app

Best thing about the DLR is there is no drivers cab so you can sit in the front seat.

I'm new to your channel, when you showed Warren Street station it brought back memories of my commute to school, then Stratford which reminded me of when I was an London 2012 Olympic volunteer, but Abbey Road, I cringed as I knew you were the completely in the wrong part of the city. Pleased to know you found the right place, the tube is a great way to travel, to get about town with minimal fuss. Happy travelling!

4:20 In the '70s I remember a USAF officer who had travelled from Kings Cross to Huntingdon, on his way to Alconbury aerodrome, panicking when trying to open the train door. The doors had no internal means of opening - it was necessary to open the door window and use the outside handle. It may seem strange in these days of modern electronic locks, but it provided a level of security so that people could not easily and accidentally open the door and fall out.

I remember when the Abbey Road DLR station opened thinking did no one at Transport For London realise the confusion and wasting of time they would cause thousands of tourists for years to come by calling it Abbey Road. The adjacent Baker's Row has an entrance to the station so surprised TFL didn't use that for the name although assume it took the Abbey Road name as it's a more major route. Still, TFL must have figured it out after so many people ask station staff that they now have a massive advertising board at the station entrance/exit with "Looking for The Beatles Zebra Crossing?" It has directions how to get to the more well-known Abbey Road so at least that is helpful after the fact.

As soon as you said you were going to Abbey Road… I knew you were going to the station not the place. So many do that! Glad you made it. That’s where I live 😊

The London Underground network is over 250 miles long in total. Some of it very old, some like Stratford (where our Olympic stadium is - much much newer. That Abbey Road mistake happens to many people. Gotta get to North London for that zebra crossing 😊

I've lost count of the number of times American tourists have asked me to direct them to where The Beatles walked across the zeebra stripes at Abbey Road. Every one of them have thanked me profusely for my kindness and assistance when I've directed them to the Abbey Road station on the DLR. I've often wondered what happened.

the zebra crossing outside the studio is not actually the one they used. Its a little further down the road. I always tell people when im driving past lol

I just got back from a cruise in London and spend 3 days there prior to my cruise. I stayed at a hotel at heathrow and used the underground into the city each day and also took it all the way to dover port vs using the cruise shuttle. You made the same comments I did. I used google maps and the app, it was super easy to get around, clean, no funny smells, people seemed nice, great signage, yes it was hot. I don't live in a city with mass transit, so this was new to me and I was not overwhelmed at all.

@@jaxcoss5790 it's a combination of the tube and then you connect to the train. Then approx 1 mile cab ride from the train station to the actual port. It was SUPER easy.
