  • London is a beautiful city, but there is one thing wrong about it. The city needs more skyline. They say that London have new and old but I believe they have a little more old than new.

  • There are enough things here to keep me busy for a while, though I fear I was not able to find a few things I was looking for when I got there.

  • Do it. Come on over to London, We'll give you a warm Welcome!

  • @JackHarrisss I hope so, because Im latin and sometimes we think that some of you are xenophobes, but it seems you are kind so I changed my mind

  • that old saying when man is tired of london he is tired of life. That is a very narrow minded statement. its just used to try and mess with peoples heads and some people actually buy into it. they dont want to admit its dogshit

  • NYC has nothing on London, the way things are built in rows in NYC is stupid. Also some buildings in London are from 1100 and still standing. Well done brits you know how to keep your country tidy. I love England and I will be returning. Your random cosy little villages, the outstanding Beauty of your country side and the brilliant history.

  • This video is made before Trafalgar Square was pedestrianized in front of the National Gallery - was it in 2002?

  • trafalgar square use to look nice before they constantly had metal barriers around it. They need to get rid of them. I hate these barriers they are an ugly eyesore. the construction wokers could do with speeding up also in and around london. there's nothing worse than a short staffed city. it means the pace of maintainnace is slower. if they trippled the amount of workers it would increase efficiency.

  • ..I've lived in London all my life and this video gives you the theatrical Charles Dickens-esque vision of London from the past. But the London of today is a crime-filled, drug-filled, pollution-filled, immigrant-filled..hellhole.

  • I AM GOING TO LIVE THERE ONE DAY!!!

  • I love London !!!! It is a wonderful city !!

    Thank you so much

  • If I were to travel to the UK for several days, London will be on the top of my list of places to visit. :)

  • London's one of the best cities in the world :)

  • I miss London ....god the memories!

  • WONderful tour! Thank you sO much!! :)

  • Can I give my own tips>:

    1. Get an Oyster card you relally get screwed nowadays if you pay for tube and bus fares with cash.

    2. Definitely look around - not just the middle bit. What this man said is true, I think - London is lots of small towns that got merged together through general urban sprawl - that's why succesive governments since about the 1930'a tried to stop it spreading by creating New Towns, and shipping off working people there.. Ther's more - but out of space...

  • I'm from Polish and I like London very Beauitful city

  • Isn't London considered like the Birthplace of the economical and modern world or something?

  • I love this city,the streets,the people,the shops,the cabs ,to me it is a wonderful place! I have some good memories of London from my first visit here in 1986. I keep coming back again and again and still i get only good memories.I feel very safe in this city even at night.I love just walking around there are so much to see and you never get bored.Everytime i have to leave i just want to go back!

  • wow! EXACTLY 136,000 views, i am the 136,000th viewer!

  • What is Trafalar Square?

  • "Not the village fool. Although we had our fair share of those over the years".

    Yap.. they are being called MP's

  • my hometown! <3 i'm moving back

  • My dad works in London :)

  • London owns america :D

  • Thanks for this good tour around London, I really liked it, I'll revise it again and again

  • London is one one of the best cities in the world, if not the best. Does LA have historic architecture. and any city in the us by any chance

  • @00MrBlob yeah, LA has historic buildings, mostly from the Spanish

  • me aburre esto

  • I miss London--and reluctantly (lol) its rain.

  • I too love London but like Seattle it rains almost every time I set my foot on it as if knowing and intentionally testing one who would never hold an umbrella there. 

  • THe public transport in london is good value for money but not much else in london is good value for money. The transport system in london is about the best value it holds in terms of cost effectiveness. There are many expensive restaraunts in london which serve some real overpirced crap food

  • shepherds pie, cottage pie, fish and chips, cobbler, apple pie, pasties, yorkshire pudding, toad in the hole, trifle, scones, to name just a few are all british dishes popular around the world! if you dont like any of the above, its not the only food you can buy in britain like some dumb twats think!

  • yeh well considering london is in the top tow most visited cities in the world, it cant be that boring! its only marginally behind paris!!

    As for british food being shit, theres no food you can get anywhere in the world that you cant get in london, just because the british have there own dishes and cooking, it doesnt mean we dont eat steaks, fish, salads, fast food, etc etc.

    If british food is so bad, why are there fish and chip shops in most countries in the world?

  • I can say I came from NYC every other weekend to London every weekend and I like London a whole lot if not more than NYC. I plan to do a better comparison this winter.

  • London rocks !

  • London is magical forever! People,institutions,ambient,sc­ulptures,parks,football clubs,music clubs,worlds influence,reputation,importanc­e,position and life conditions are very good!

  • London is the biggest city in europe amazingly enough

  • London is Awesome!

  • I love london :) pls help me to go there :)

  • i Love you so much London you are the best best best CIty on the world

  • I LOVE YOU SO MUCH LONDON ♥♥♥

  • @762SLR762 Americans and Brits should really stop considering England or any of the U.K. member countries as part of Europe. You won't hear a true European calling England/Britain Europe. England/Britain/the U.K. is NOT Europe and it's people are NOT European. They are "Brits".

  • @vin332010 i was born and bred in london.england/britain is part of europe.what is the matter with you.most of your bloodline came from europe.anglosaxon norman viking celts and so on.or is it that you think you are more patriotic than say the frenchor germans or italians,spanish or greek ect.instead of being loyal to countries that are near you,you seem to always have your head up americas arse.no sir you are not a brit just a wanker.

  • @vin332010

    of course we part of europe retard. 

  • Great city,i enjoyed every moment when i was there!

  • This part is basicly the main part of london i suppose. if you see the fun bit of london, look up hammersmith or try and VISIT of fulham or WEST FEILDS!!!!

  • *

    Visit London is my dream

    And I hope it will soon become a reality

    ^^

  • Ive been to London and new york and as much as i loved new york it just didn't have the architecture or the rich history that London provides.

    st Pauls,westminster,buckinham palace,covent garden.

    The tower of london is a must!!

  • I miss London the best city in the world

  • I have visited a lot of cities around the world but London is the best! I love London!

  • @evelinagreece I enjoyed London so much and you get a great nice sensation while you are there.

    You just feel like you are in another world entirely. If you go there you will have a really good time and the people are so friendly.

    London also gives you an effect of being in a fantasy world. When you wake of in the morning you always want to go out for an adventure. The best times in london are the evenings everything just happens to be very lively out there. The sexy city!

  • @RobertsDigital I so agree with you. I had the same feeling when I was in London. I loved it!

  • Dont be dispirited, Londons a beautiful city. And its the people that make it, much friendlier than anyone in Paris. :P

  • I wanna go to London :(

    It's one of my biggest dreams

    :D

  • betychio86 you will enjoy yourself like crazy trust me.

    You just can't stop being happy being there. When you go to London i suggest you visit Canary Wharf as well. You will love that. Especially at night. The advantage about being in the Uk is that you can never be bored. People are so friendly. You will enjoy yourself very much as long as you have the money because its a very expensive city.

  • lol its a shit hole

  • London is awesome and more for a tourist.

  • London is Great. Anyone who says otherwise is just a loser.

  • I agree with you! =)

  • @fernandopercy Go to London.... it has a completely different feel from Paris obviously. I come from Toronto and truly enjoy the multicultural mix that London offers  much because toronto is exactly the same. Little neighbourhoods, the canals, the museums, the people, pubs and gardens - and yes even the seedier sides. The one drawback would be the tourists - but that would be you and me too.

  • I admit it. I am an Anglophile. i love every bit of the UK. I love the history, the churches and walks, the museums, the people, the pubs, the blackened bricks .. the theatre. When i have the money to travel I spend about 5 minutes deciding where to go ... I reason I haven't seen all of the UK yet so it's back to London to see friends and walk the walks I have done so many times. Mind you, i have travelled to other places...

  • london is boring just like the majority of the uk. well if youre into looking at pigeons, staring at the big ben with enthusiasm or like red buses then you'll love it. other than that, theres nothing to do but go to the pubs and drink like an englishmanlol

  • "Why, Sir, you find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford."

    — Samuel Johnson

  • @eastwardtv I wish I could thumb this up, oh well guess it just remains a mediocre comment >:D

  • @eastwardtv Ah, but let's not forget, it was the good Doctor who also wrote, "if you remember London, you weren't there".

  • every one thinks englands just about London im sure you haven't been everywhere in England to say its all boring you idiot

  • 15 million people who visit london anualy must also find it boring?

  • @KILLERZ0000 It's the best city in the world. Chavs like you should try somewhere with no culture, nightclubs, history. Try your mum's bedroom.

  • @KILLERZ0000

    That's rich coming from an Antarctican.

  • @KILLERZ0000 really? then 8 million should be silly for living in there and have many places to visit!!

  • @KILLERZ0000 Only boring people get bored.

  • @KILLERZ0000 i would disagree. get a coffee on picadilly, picnic on greenwich, have lunch at adams ribs, visit queen we will rock you, go out at some of the pubs... theres a london video on my channel, from a bit different angle so if you got time stop by ;) love the music here. so you see...

  • @KILLERZ0000 it isn't boring if you're not actually from around there

  • @KILLERZ0000 of course you have forgotten to talk about the beautiful architecture, the great museums in the world, the great plays in the great deal of theaters there, and of course, all the crazy experiences you can have there.

  • @KILLERZ0000 I have a feeling you will never truly enjoy life.

  • @KILLERZ0000 i lived there. i found plenty of things to do

  • @KILLERZ0000 Well, if you like plays you can go to the Globe, if you like art and science there are museums, if you like geology or history there are old pieces of buildings and interesting rock formations by the river. Maybe that would eventually get boring if I lived there too long, but for now I still want to be there.

  • London is the best CITY IN THE WORLD. I went there as a tourist and i Loved it.

  • i love NY the best city in the world!!

  • Hi mrhugmoral. I`ve been to both London and New York City. Unfortunately ! The latter I shall never see again, I have no doubt. The former ? Well - I`ll do my best.

  • london is overrated...i went there as a tourist and didn't like it much...

  • Me too. I dont get these people raving about london. I went there a few years ago and couldnt wait to get back to new york.

    The food was shit. The 4 star hotel would of been a 2 star in the states, the subway was JUST as dirty as , and the women... Oh GOD the women.....

  • you probably just don't respect great architecture.

    I went to New York - the women were all fat and obese, the only food was "fast" food.

    Just awful

  • why do u feel the need to insult another nations city ,

    london was dirty? right and so new york wins a prize for the best clean city in the world pleae get real would u ,

    the subay is one of the cleanest tubes in the world

    look at the underground of new york.

    i can so tell u havent been to london and ur just another typical yank who knows very little

  • @itom85

    you couldn't wait to get back to new york? well let me tell you that suits the rest of the world just fine.

  • @itom85 I went to New York. It was dirty and sooty and dull and the people were obese & rude, everything was expensive & the people were so ignorant there were no words... I have no idea why you are complaining about the food in London. London has The Ritz, Selfridges, Fortnum & Mason, Harrods, lovely quaint little pubs, gastropubs, restaurant chains & one offs absolutely everywhere. It sounds like you are just a miserable old bore with a chip on your shoulder. London is lovely.

  • i think just like any other maybe populated or famous city, london is nice yeah, but to go and like maybe shop if you have a lot of money, and to just have fun, but live?? it gets boring after a while!!

  • hahahah why are you guys rude? lol i'm american and i'm rude but like to people i know, but i would never be rude to a person from another country! hahaha maybe!

  • i love london and paris

  • Yeh untill you go to new York M8. I was in NY and some guy said "your not from round here" I said "no, is it my accent" and he said "no your way too polite" but I suppose in our capitol we get a bit ruder.

  • I've lived in London - Indeed, one of the greatest cities in the world: A MUST GO

  • covent garden had changed a lot !!

  • FABULOUS CITY! Lovely tour...

  • London is little better than what it looks like in this video..

  • Maybe because the video is a bit old.

  • so nice, im excited ;) going to london on friday, cant wait!

  • LONDON ooooh I LOVE IT :D Goood Shopping Places :D Amazing Clothes, Jewellery And Accessories :D

  • * * * * *

  • i have lived in london all my life (43) and it is a dump, it isnt worth the money

  • what ? why is a dump ?? well i will go to london in the next couple of months . and i do expect to well be worth the visit. i will go from los Angeles CA, to london . what should i expect ?

  • London is just like any big city in the world. Its has its good side and bad, some would complain about anything.

  • just fun, I have alwais been there 5 times and would like to go again. Try to see outside London such as suburb or hampstead.

  • @mtv4130 well if you live in Los Angeles....then dont expect the weather to be too entertaining!! I am going to start living in London from September...but to be honest Los Angeles sounds awesome though, it looks like such a nice place to live....but maybe the movies are too distracting...ur really lucky to be living in such a great place..

  • Central London is a nice place to work/visit but not live, as its too expensive and crowded and theres no where to get away from it!

  • I live in London ,and it is the best place in the world...............

  • duh... you live there!! i live in the U.S. and i say it is the best place in the world, but more specifict, california is the best!

  • lol fj i live in Pensacola,Florida and I wish i lived in the UK to bad im in America im only 18 so i may have a chance of moving there but most likely reality wont let it happen.<3 England

  • I agree - But I found the people incredibly nice when they took my money

  • i went there this year

    I loved it

    i got to go back there

  • MMMMMH!!!! The historical centre of L. is nice but not more than Paris or Rome....

    Personally i think than in Europe there are much more nice cities...

  • I'm never gone there but I love London!

    :)

  • I'm going to be in London for 4 months while attending school.  After living in a monoculture like South Korea for 3 years, I yearn for diversity and true life. London has it all!

  • Having lived in London for some time my experiences are not that great. It's quite a good place to visit but living there is a different story: high crime (especially during dark hours and knife crime); property prices totally over inflated; poor transport; can be very dirty in some parts; pretty polluted; usually cold and raining; not that friendly a place to live, can feel very isolated.

  • I'm from Lima,Peru and I've Never been to London :( but I will, soon probably, on southern hemisphere's summer 2010, I can't wait!!!

  • Hope you have a great time. I have always wanted to go to Peru as it is a fascinating place.

  • i was thinking about studying abroad in egham next spring, does it rain alot there?

  • not necessarily the weather is very changeable... i mean last summer it was terrible yet 3 summers ago it was brilliantly hot... don't forget Egham is in Surrey not London though... its a good 40 mins train journey from Waterloo... it about half way between Reading and London...

  • i love london

  • Brilliant movie clip, London... my city

  • Should it not be "Tourists' London"  ????? eh!

  • No its acually "The Tourists London"

  • G'day,

  • I love London too ! I'm strongly considering of studying there ! LA is so unnatural !

    But I'm from Europe myself ! And the british accent seems much more apropriate to me ! :):)

  • "Trafalar" square xDDD

  • que bonito londres! ;)

  • I have been to all of this places

  • 1 love london

  • Hello, This video is a perfect description of beautiful London. Is it possible for you to share the access to me, as i would like to utilise it in my blog.Thanks so much.Regards,Dipika

  • I love London ^^

  • i absolutely adore london. I went last summer and i miss it. I cant wait to go back for graduation!

  • I MISS LONDON SO MUCH!!!

  • yeah they dont show the true parts of london

    poverty etc, teenage killings

    the govt like to cover up

    give me athumbs down for all i care but im telling the truth .

    most ppl just se the nice part of london al the glamour.

  • what is your problem?? We all know London have a bad side like everything does.

    But we were tourist, i don't care about poverty or teenage killings, i care about the history and the beauty of the place. I have all the problems of the word in my country... London is a paradise if you compare it to my city.

    So, of course i'm going to give you a thumb down, because you're an idiot...

  • ah yes im really an idiot just pointing out the truth, i will stop complaining when the government starts putting money in the places that actually need it, instead of rich tourist areas.

  • You are soo much right, I was shocked when I heard the story of this lunatic fred west but i looove london and i wanna live one day there

  • Lol at you man ! Every city and big city has that ! Come and visit LA and you'll see some nice true parts ! Funny, aren't you ?! :)

  • ah yes like we don't hear about them everyday in all the movies etc.

  • you sound stupid as hell

  • how ?

  • Because you want "the government" to put money into your area instead of getting off your lazy backside and doing it yourself.

    People like you always concentrate on the negatives. London is beautiful and rich in history. Celebrate the best city in the world or go make your own video on how awful your life is.

  • so how am i going to get the money and time to do it myself when it's the governments job.

    Its the only side of London you hear anyway thats why i get fed up.

  • It's NOT the Government's job at all, it's yours. If you live in a bad area, get a better job, move on up, move to a better area. Or start a business in the area you're in and improve it yourself. Stop looking for reasons why your surroundings are bad and waiting for "The Government" to do something. Take responsibility for your own future. Work hard.

  • lol only if it was that easy.

    You sound like a rich kid in the burbs.

  • me toooooooooooooo

  • This video actually does london some justice!

    The best things about london are difficult to convey in a 30 second panorama.

  • im going to london in the summer

  • i love the london life !!!!

  • this is quite old i ,think

  • yea it look like 1996 - 1998

  • I hope that in september I'll be there!!!! :))))

  • I havent been to London in ages. I only live 30mins away!

  • I love London.....

  • London is the greatest city on earth!!!

  • huge

  • i'm there in mind and body, humm what other way is there...good.

  • the best place in the world

  • yeah london is a beautiful city but i think vienna is it toooo

    vienna is more quiet and the weather is in summer better
