Which London area is best to explore? London is HUGE and so you can't see it all in a few days, not even a few weeks. So in this video I tell you which London area is (in my opinion) best for what, so you can decide which one to explore (but hopefully you make it to all of them).

I live in the UK and try to visit London a couple of times a year. London is not the UK and these guides are brilliant even for Brits. Informative, packed full of recommendations and tips to avoid getting ripped off. Love the honesty of this lady. Well done Jess. More please.

I lived in East London while studying at uni at Queen Mary. After traveling all around London, I decided East London was my favorite! Maybe a little biased. East London felt the most underrated back then, but I agree that South London has taken that title now.

Just returned from a week long visit in London. We found your videos extremely helpful. We stayed near Paddington Station and Hyde Park which proved to be a convenient and a safe area to stay. Breakfast at the Marcie Green was fabulous. I would encourage visitors to wear what they feel most comfortable in. We saw many wearing athletic wear and gym shoes wherever we went.

East London was the area for immigrants because the West End (nowadays central London) was for the wealthy and so industry had to be in the east, with the winds blowing the fumes and smells to the east, and therefore it was always a cheaper area in the past.

Good advice, and in a video under 5 minutes. I've got to take another trip, as it's been over a decade since I've been to London. I didn't even know whether I was in the South, West, or wherever. I just looked at a travel guide and subway map, and decided I needed to get to a particular station to see something. I just travel aimlessly. ;)

@loveandlondon 2 жыл бұрын

yeah london is absolutely massive so if you're going beyond the usual super touristy attractions (which I 100% recommend going beyond) it's much more spread out.

Love this Jess! I noticed Brixton and Pelham while searching for flats all around London. Do you have any videos specifically about green areas around London? (, big enough to park trail run/park exercise/take long dog walks). I'm sure your other viewers who are not into eats and shopping would also appreciate it.

Καμία σχέση με την Αγγλία. Οι Λονδρέζοι είναι οι πιο μίζεροι και ψυχροί άνθρωποι στον κόσμο. Επίσης, η μοναξιά εδώ είναι μεγάλη.

I recall when the London One Day Travel Card was about 3 pounds. Days out were affordably fun. The late 1980's to early 1990's was a great time to live in the city. London was expensive, but affordable. It's still a great city, but no longer good value unless you live in affordable housing and income is above average.
