So sad you did not showcase more of Wales, this really was, as you said, a side step into Wales. There is so much to see in the south and west.

Tunbridge Wells is a cosy town to get to as well and just one hour by train from London. I also agree with a previous poster. Hiking from Eastbourne to Beachy head is great. Major castles and places of literary interest are also in the South (Kent/East Sussex).

My friend and I are planning our first trip to England. We have 3 weeks but the last 4 days I need to be in London. This was a great overview to help us decided how to plan our trip. Thank you! PS...too bad there are people who rather "nit-pick" the presentation than applaud for the amount of information you did get right.

My cousin and I bought tickets online from her home for the train and a tour bus of our choice (hop on hop off) and sat up on top on a lovely sunny day and saw lost of buildings with headset on listening to the recorded message on the bus. One bus tour included a Thames River cruise, which we took to cool off from the hot trip. It was a hot day. I believe we were there on June 8, 2016 just before you uploaded this video. The commentator on the ferry was very informative and funny.

It's not the Halls of Parliament. No one ever says that. It's called the Houses of Parliament or the Palace of Westminster.

Rick, I flew into London Gatwick airport where I was met by my cousin from Eastbourne. She drove me past the rolling hills covered with lambs and showed me Brighton briefly and we drove over to Eastbourne. The following day she took me to Beachy Head, the Belle Tout Lighthouse, Birling Gap and the Seven Sisters. The chalk cliffs were wonderful to see. I wanted to go to Southend-On-Sea, so wen there. I also wanted to go to Twickenham to see Kneller Hall and take in a concert there where my late husband studied as a bandsman in the 11th Hussars. We did the London "hop-on-hop-off" red double decker and I wanted to see Trafalgar Square where my husband brought a 60-piece High school band from Toronto to put on a show there. The Toronto school tour had parents as chauffeurs and they put on concerts all over the UK. They kids had a wonderful unforgettable time. I often wonder why Eastbourne is overlooked by many travel writers. It is such a lovely waterfront city with a renovated pier with lovely restaurant and there is a bandstand on the beach front. Brighton is similar and has many interesting things to enjoy also.

There's nothing wrong with his recommendations but it does irk me a little that he gets so many place names wrong. Oxford Circle? Trafalgar? Halls of Parliament? Windsor Palace? It's like he's flash-read another guide book and forgotten some of the details.

I don't think he was saying people don't like it. He was saying the cliffs are very high so if you want to commit suicide then they provide an opportunity.

I think people know less about those places. They're less iconic/well known but are extremely beautiful, hidden gems but then again, every corner of England is absolutely gorgeous. Except Blackpool/Manchester/Liverpool ! Northumberland is my favourite county for castles on the beach and moody moors and villages.

He gets it right occasionally, give the guy a break, he does pretty well for a 75 minute presentation out of his head, and anyway the building should be called the Palace of Westminster.

It's really funny how foreigners think it rains a lot in London, when that is literally the driest city in the UK!

Inky Scrolls Two things. 1. It is all relative. For England, there isn't as much rain in London. But if you've come from Arizona, it rains a lot in London. 2. There can be a geography misconception amongst some in the USA that London IS England.

I don't get why people think it rains a lot in England in general when it doesn't. I live in the North East and we get rain a few times a month. Really baffles me when people say that. I've been to countries in Europe where it has rained and didn't think it rained any less there than in England.
