The buildings themselves are works of art. I love the architecture of London. Can't wait to go back for an extended visit to enjoy the museums.
They do have some great architects, and the will to implement their visions. Many countries / cities have forgotten about the importance of inner-city architecture and just build any old rubbish dog-box cookie-cutter buildings sadly.
Always love your videos, composition, and content!
Fantastic roundup of the best London museums! Your recommendations are spot-on. Can't wait to explore these cultural gems and follow up with the post-museum adventures. Thanks for the great insights! 🇬🇧
Woo hoo, love your videos Suitcase Monkey! Thank you for showing off the best museums in London. The V&A is my absolute favourite.
You’re welcome Helen! Yeah, coming from a performance background, it covers lots of interest themes!
British Museum is my favorite one👌
I'm excited for more London content! I originally found this channel because of your 5 day guide and I was planning a trip to London. Pandemic obviously cancelled that, but I'm still learning and discovering more for when I actually can travel there. I can't wait!
Absolutely lovely! Please share more of London!
One of the best travel vlog channel, keep posting man.
GORGEOUS video as always! Was looking forward to seeing this one because we love London’s museums 💖💖
My Museum Studies degree isnt worth much at the moment but I can say with authority that this is an excellent range of London museums 😄
I am heading to London soon and this was honestly the best travel guide video I have seen so far! So beautifully cinematic and informative. I love how you included things to do nearby and gave an aerial view of the neighborhoods. I feel more confident for this trip and feel like I really have a lay of the land
Excellent list. I’d also add the Museum of London, which is a really thorough look at the city’s history.
I’m glad you mentioned that part about the “British” Museum, it’s a great museum and one of my favourites but that aspect of it puts me off of visiting it now.
Somerset House is also home to the Courtauld Gallery, which is great -- lots of Impressionist and Post-Impressions paintings. Very much worth seeking out if you're an art lover.
Absolutely yes!🙌
This is a lovely, fun filled video. Its great to plan what to do next on our visit to London, which is always good to visit.
I really love your videos and especially your sense of humour. I also live in London and it’s wonderful seeing it from someone else’s eyes. Please keep your much appreciated videos coming.
Just arrived in London for a few days and this video is perfect to help me plan some more as I watch this streamed to my hotel TV. Cheers!
All your London videos are awesome! Beautiful videography and very eye catching visuals! I am binge watching all of them 😊
The V & A is my favourite, and you did a lovely job capturing it! Yes
Near Tate Britain: just across the river is the Garden Museum in an old church. On a good day, go up the church tower for a really good view. Also, in the City, the Guildhall Art Gallery and Roman Amphitheatre.
I'd really like to see that street food markets video!. I've also loved this one, so well edited and full of useful information. Keep the good work going please 👏👏👏 and congrats on the channel! (I've been binge watching most of the videos and now I miss London more than ever lol)
Another exceedingly wonderful video! I’ve always skipped the Cutty Sark but I’ll go in now. Your choice of shots and your framing is very well done - thank you.
Hi, the composition of wide angle shots for the entrance, etc are beautiful & thoughtful! The narration is quite deep, informative, yet easy to catch for intermediate non native speaker of English who wants to know UK & the world & improve the English at the same time. The most important thing in most of your channel, you have quite an awesome English dialect that gives advantage for improving Pronunciation & Listening. Plus, how you tell the stories of places are systematic, easy for my brain to catch & grasp about the places.
Excellent explanation and wonderful video. Thank you so much!
Amazing!!! Thank you for the video! I´m new in London and this makes my life really easy to visit Museums!!
Thank you for the beautiful images related to the museums, it really gives a better on idea of what museum I would want to check the most!
Thank you! Because of this, I’ve added Greenwich to my list for the next trip.
thank you for sharing your experience!
6:12-6:18 Somerset House was one of the filming locations of the holiday film "Love Actually," set mostly in London. AND it has a skating scene!
Thank you for the tips and tricks in this vlog, very useful...we are planning to visit London in 2023 straight from the Australian Outback, so this is a good starting point in our research phase. All the best 👍🏼
I just discovered your channel & I love your content💗. I'm super excited to be traveling next month to the UK and to check out some of those sites you made mentioned in your Vlog.
I appreciate the way you present the information and how it is truly from the eyes of a native son🇬🇧.
With 💜 from Michigan, 🇺🇸
Very informative & good video ! It's good to watch your video when travel overseas is not possible.
Your narration is always spot on! Suggesting places nearby the museums was really helpful ,I'm planning to visit London in August 2022 but I'm looking forward to visit England every year so I hope to see more England in general related content in the future.Just subbed X
How was your trip?
Eating breakfast and watching your videos is a great combo, well done as always
I’ve been to London many times and visited most of your recommendations however you gave some good ideas for our next visit this summer. First will be Somerset House which I’ve not seen and a return to my favorite, Victoria and Albert Museum.
This was a wonderful guide to London's museums. I want to travel to the UK next year and have enjoyed all of the UK travel focused videos.
I will visit London next year and this video is an important information for me.
Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
These are fantastic videos! Thank you!!!
I love your videos! They let me travel from home (in America) and plan my ultimate vacation! I look forward to seeing your London food market video!
I am heading to London later this month. This was very helpful. Thank you for making this video!
Hello Suitcase Monkey
Awesome video will be great for those planning a visit to London. I would add one more museum, the Imperial War Museum to a must see. In the future when they are done their refurbishment the Coultard art gallery at Somerset house. Looking forward to the next one. Take Chris and Sandra if Canada.
Love it! It's really helpful
Thank you so much :)
5:42 this really good joke holds an important message that it's the viewer's engagement that ultimately validates an artwork as "art"
Awesome content 👍 Thank you for sharing 💗
For a smaller, more intimate experience, my favorite is Sir John Soane's Museum, a short walk from the British Museum. The personal collection is fascinating, and the architecture is wonderful.
Thank you for this video! I'm going to London this June (2022) and this is really helping me plan ahead, especially getting to know where everything is at ahead of time. I'm thinking of going to the british museum, natural history museum, natural gallery, and tate modern!
It's also worth noting that Tate Britain houses the largest collection of paintings by JMW Turner (one of my favourite painters) and I plan on visiting there in 5 weeks time when I'll be in London! I'll also make sure to visit the Battersea Power Station (made famous by Pink Floyd) which is just a short walk away from Tate Britain, so it's perfect really as both buildings are within close proximity to eachother.
This video was lovely and informative. Thank you for the recommendation of the painting app!
Just returned from our week in London. Agree with everything in this vid. British Museum, Natural History, Tate Modern - awesome and free. Cutty Sark - fee, but well worth it. National Maritime - good and free. Royal Observatory - fee and rather small, but interesting for those science-minded.
I always look forward to your videos. And this one is both aesthetically lovely and quite helpful for travelling to London. Please do continue with your plans for future videos. I'm sure I'll appreciate them too.♡
Thanks! I’ve got a few more London ultimate guides in mind. Let me know any topics that may be of interest.
I love all of your films! FINALLY getting to re-do my cancelled 2020 trip to London, so this helps a lot! thanks!
Thank you!
thank you, it's a nice overview and the combination with cafe tips is great.
Well Explained! Thankyou!!
Thank you for this video! If ever I’m in London again I can narrow down which museums to visit.
That was great! Thanks! 👍😊
Great video structure! I love how you provide background of places and ways of getting around .
Very helpful for my 2023 spring visit.
Cheers
You’re so right about feeling smarter after visiting museums! Can’t wait to make it back to London and hit up some of the places you mentioned.
Thanks Maureen! 😀
Excellent video!
great suggestions, I am so excited to cover all the museums :D
A great selection of museums. I have been to a few over my several trips to London, with the Natural history museum being my favourite listed. I also love Windsor castle, which although outside London, was an easy train trip/day out. The Military museum was also fantastic, although I mainly went for a paid exhibition on the 1950s.
Thank you so much, such a great and useful video guide created!! Looking forward to seeing more.
Thank you! I've got a UK playlist with loads of other content!
I'm going to London and this was really helpful, thanks
Excellent as always thank you ❤
I am binging your videos for an upcoming trip in April. Thank you so much for your content. It is better than all the guide books. Love from Michigan.
Love this video. I've only been to London once, but for my next visit I'll use the info given here. Thanks!
Great video 🎉
Thx for sharing the trip🙏🏻
Nice coverage!
Amazing video!
Fantastic roundup
What a great video, thank you!
wow, this video couldn’t have come at a better time! i’m 19 and have been planning my first ever solo trip to london to visit both the V&A and national gallery. i’m a history student and absolutely love museums, and these 2 are just world class. i will have to do a second visit to do the Tate as well! thank you so much for all the info, and the nearby cafes were really helpful too :)
Hi there! That’s great to hear. Yes, in hindsight I realized I’m quite cafe obsessed. Lol glad you enjoyed!
It was so enjoyable 🌱🖤
Excellent advice!
Super video Thank you
Thank you very much for this excellent video.
Thank you for another beautiful video about this amazing city 🙏🏼
My favorite museum is the V&A.
Because of Covid i wasn‘t able to visit London for the last 2 years, but watching your videos brings it a little bit closer to me ☺️
That’s lovely to hear. V&A seems to be a popular one from the comments I’ve had so far
Great to see you both back in action. Haven't watched it all yet but I'll be sure to forward to friends who would love a museum/eats guide.
Thank you for sharing 😀
I'm coming to London in may , good video. Thanks
Thank you for this video, it comes in very handy as I'm planning a trip to London with my teenage daughter for Nov 2023. So many great places to see.
Much appreciated by someone who just relocated to London from the US this year - still taking my time exploring the city's offerings. Great insights and can I say your narration is soothing as hell to listen too. Would certainly like to see a London markets video and, of course, any additional London food vids. :)
Hey thanks. Not sure if you know but I’ve done a bunch of London dining videos already. Check out my London playlist.
probably best London/UK related vloger
Great video, I have a couple of these places on my list for my next visit Tate Britain being one of them, for me this was timely and quite useful. Well done!
I'd add the Guildhall, an art gallery with the remains of a Roman ampitheatre in the basement, and - a bit out of the way, perhaps - the Horniman museum, a sort of overgrown cabinet of curiosities.
Excellent video, keep going.
This was great! Helps us narrow down (or confirm) which museums we're going to visit when we visit London. Love your videos!! I was very excited to see a new one after so long. 😊👍
Thank you for your patience!
@@SuitcaseMonkey good things come to those who wait. 😊
I had the great pleasure to live in London in the mid 80's during my semester abroad program from Guilford College, Greensboro, NC in the US. It was the best time of my life. We lived in the Hyde Park West Hotel off Nottinghill Gate. I was there for 6 months. My favorite gallery was the Tate. I am eager to return and visit all that I saw with the addition of the Tate Modern. What a wonderland of history, beauty and delight.
Thank you very much for this video and the work you put into it. Its really informative and covers all of those museums that I had vaguely heard about without understanding which ones I wanted to check out. All of those… and much more
It’s great to have to post pandemic information as well!
I will now go looking for the London markets video, or await it eagerly if it isn’t yet out
Thanks. It’ll be out mid June.
As a Pakistani I must say London is one of my favorites places ❤
Great episode, London very well known as home of museums , I like natural history museum it's one of my favourite. Thank you
I haven't visited London for quite a while, but my favourite museum was the National Portrait Gallery.
WOW! I immediately subscribed; what an amazing "show" (it reminds me of a good television show)! The narration is so much fun and the editing is perfect. I loved it.
Welcome! Thank you for joining us! I don’t post that often so I hope you can enjoy my existing content until the next one!
@@SuitcaseMonkey I am currently binge watching your channel and I’m glad I’m late to the party because there’s a lot to see! ☺️❤️!
Great video. Even I found the V&A the best of the 3 I visited in London. We visited the National Gallery on a friend's suggestion and we are glad we visited it. Would love it if you can do a video on wandering around seven dials.
i am so happy i found your videos!! Though my trip to London has been postponed three times, i have rebooked for fall 2022, and watching any of your videos is delightfully entertaining, but the London videos are my favorites. when my sister announced she is heading there with her husband and son, i insisted she watch all of them!! Thank you so much for the wonderful content and clever narration!
Hi Jane. Thank you lots for suggesting us to friends, that is what helps us grow! 😀
Bravo. Thank you
As an American i must say London is one of my favorite cities. I've been to the British museum to see the Egypt exhibition. But I look forward to seeing more. Love your videos ❤❤❤
Thank you 🙏
Thanks!
Thank you!
Your narration of London's best Museums is clear and concise. Every time Harriet and I ( Jim) go to london we take in some Museums. The choices were just right. Love you guys. Like to see you more often. Be Well my friends. Harriet and Jim . Richmond, Va.
Hi there Harriet and Jim! Thank you. Be well too!!!
Heading to London in June this year and so happy I found your channel. I liked the fact that you are recommending places within a narrow area along with suggested food options and nearby things to do… this is an awesome touch and great for first time tourists to visit and make efficient use of limited time. I hope you can one day do a travel video for traveling with kids? Keep up the good job.
Thank you. Glad it helps. We don’t want kids so…
@@SuitcaseMonkey thought you were going to say…. We don’t want kids…. in London. ..🤪😅🤪😅. Either way if you have friends with kids or some insight that would be super extra helpful to put in the videos.
LONDON IS A VERY GREAT PLACE FOR TOURISM.
