I was in London two years ago and I enjoyed too much. I love it.
What I love the most is in the stations or big places there are stairs for people who are going upwards and stairs for people who are going downwards. It is so much easier !
“Let people of the train first”, one of the Tube announcements that still rings in my ears almost 12 years after i moved back to Germany. It is so rude to barge into a train when people are still trying to leave the train.
And jumping the queue, well if you feel suicidal and like people looking at you as if you are the devil in person, try it. But be prepared to get a right ear full. However it is the way to learn all the local swear words inside of approx 1 minute. Not because there are only so few words, but because you will hear them from about every direction around you.
Be friendly, polite and considerate and you can have the most amazing time in London.
This is why I love London ❤️
If Other cultures were to queue and wait in line these announcements would never be required, This is certainly never been taught to Germans
I will be visiting London at the end of March and I am so glad to have found your videos. I’m a bit nervous as I’ll be traveling alone, but I hope to have the do’s and don’ts, and some of the pronunciations down so that I don’t stick out like a sore thumb too much 🙂
I’m going to visit London next April and this tips are very useful. I’ve been watching your videos lately and they are very nice, easy going. Besides I live in Portugal, I talk with British people everyday when I’m working. So listen to British native speakers (especially teachers) helps me a lot. Get to know a little bit more about the culture also helps me in my job and sometimes understand certain customers’ behaviors. Thank you.
I’m so glad you find my videos useful Teresa. Thanks for watching and welcome to Eat Sleep Dream English : )
Thanks ! I’m taking the family back to London for a nice vacation this summer ! Can’t wait
If I may add to the list: in the underground, please don’t stop in the middle of corridors staring or chatting, because we will knock you over 😂
But we will toss a polite sorry at you after 🤣
zenjebil yes you will. Lol
I could literally listen to you read the entire dictionary… Your accent is so beautiful!
I’m from Madison, Wisconsin, U.S.A, so we just sound like were all talking through our nose… You bectcha!
No one ever mentions Greenwich park… its breathtaking view
I was just gonna say the same, no mention of south east.
I was just about to!
I just love this spot =D
noob
The best park ever!
I highly recommend Covent Garden. Covent garden is beautiful but expensive so have a look around but unless you want to have lunch at double the price it should be then explore outside it as well 😊
Long time no see, Tom! How have you been? Good to see you again. Thank you so much for this super informative, authentic video! It does remind me of my trip to London and make me want to go visit again sooner! Lots of great memory there.
Thank you so so much for the advice. You’re such a cool teacher, Tom. It’s really nice to hear your pronunciation. Well, I’m also a teacher and I’m inspired by my Mum, too. Looking forward to hearing another great experience 🙂 Warm regards from Indonesia. 😃
This Yank is coming to your lovely city for the first time in Europe for my 79th birthday. I love these videos, especially on getting around from place to place. Thank you so much.
You have missed so….. much.
What’s sad is some of these tips are just about being a kind and courteous human being. How discouraging that we have gotten so far away from common courtesies that now we have to call them tips.
Thanks for the great vids. 🙂
I’m buzzing with your revolutionary videos! Once again, thank you, Teacher.
Thank you for the useful advice. I am studying at the University of Surrey from next month for a year. I am so excited about my life in the UK.
Oh wonderful! Have a great time Reddy!
This video makes me so excited Tom. My one of the biggest dream is studying in London. And I always feel happy learning about this beautiful city😍❤ I hope one day I’ll come true my dream. Thank you so much for useful video. It made my day 😊🙏
It’s so true that escalator and queue etiquette are key things to be very aware of in Great Britain. I can’t quite believe how swanky that student accommodation is. It honestly looks like the Ritz compared to my old room in my hall of residence back in the day!!!
Really? The old British traffic rules suddenly change when you move from the road to the escalator? So confusing! 8^)
@Peggy Allen wow, I wish people where I lived in australia stood on one side, they just take up the entire escalator like the lazy fucks they are, cant even stand to one side
If you visit Washington DC it’ important to stand on the right on an escalator. Standing on the left slows those in a rush.
Very much common sense in australia as well, however when on an escalator we stand to the LEFT and leave the right hand side clear for people to walk.
@Denisa Z In Paris too 🤓
Visiting London is one of my dreams. Hope that will be true one day
@Mike crypto agreed. I’m from England and London is literally just a built up dump with polluted air! So many better places to visit in the UK
i wanna go someday too. i wanna see the big ben & the tower bridge. my cousins a huge potterhead & she went 2 go see a harry potter play
