    I think you are really brave, Spencer and it’s great to see you on your solo adventure in the UK. I watch ETS and you don’t seem too loud to me, so don’t worry too much about that - just use common sense manners but no need to whisper! Have a great time and will look forward to seeing where you go next.

    Top Tip for first time UK visitors, spend 10 minutes before you visit looking at the Tube map (you can find it online). Not for what station is where, but to realise how colour coded every thing is and see those big white circles that's where you can jump from one colour train line to another without returning to the surface. That means you can go into any tube station and come out of any other in the whole tube network.

      Not dumping on you, him or anyone else...
      I've always found the tube map completely clear and logical. Added bonus is that when walking overground in an unfamiliar part of the city, you're never far from a tube station, so you don't have to worry about getting lost.
      It genuinely perplexes me when I hear people say it is difficult to navigate. What about it is difficult? I'm genuinely interested.

      @michaelgillman2505 Not me personally, but a lot of people I know just seem to get perplexed the minute they look at the map. I've been using the underground since I was young to go and watch football matches and it's relatively straightforward for me, but that definitely isn't the general consensus among people I know

    Borough Market was just a fruit and veg wholesale market back when I got married in the cathedral next door back in 89. You used to see down and out's scavenging unsold stuff when the market closed for the day. It also smelled a fair bit in hot summers. My family have been in the area for a few hundred years. I spend half my time telling US CZcamsrs who visit the market this. 😜
