Can't believe I just found your channel - it's absolutely fantastic! I am planning a trip to England for 2024, and am going to have to watch every single video! I really enjoyed watching this informative and fun video - it really made me feel like I was there with you. Thanks so much for sharing! New subscriber.
Fantastic to have you here and welcome! 2024 is around the corner and I hope the videos give you some great ideas of things to see and do when you're here, thanks again :)
I would love to visit Covent Gardens. So many great things to do and see.
Steve, Covent Garden - like one of those ancient hornet's or bee's nests, or - ancient villages built into a mountain, used and lived in today by *new generations. Urban archaeology! We watch all these period films, and see Covent Garden or other sites, busy with humanity then, ghosts now - once corseted, and coiffed, vested, and a heck of a lot more formal in speech. Oh, the stories and memories these places hold! Urban music, Steve, and it's deep, poignant. Thank you.
Thanks Karen
Thank you immensely for sharing such a treasure trove of information about Covent Garden, London! As a tourist eager to explore this iconic district, your video has been an absolute godsend. From the charming Neal's Yard to the bustling Piazza and the hidden gems of Seven Dials, your insightful guide has illuminated the myriad of experiences awaiting visitors like myself.
Navigating a vibrant city like London can be overwhelming, but your detailed breakdown of the must-see spots and hidden treasures has provided invaluable guidance.

As a first-time visitor, I now feel equipped and inspired to embark on my Covent Garden adventure armed with knowledge and excitement.

Thank you so much for your comments and wishing you a great time when you get here 👍😀
Sunday morning 🌄 treat 😋 of my beloved Covent Garden. ❤. I certainly learnt a lot. I used to 💘 smelling the herb 🌿 barrows. I didn't know that the French hospital only closed in 1992. I loved 😍 that elephant 🐘. I certainly would love 💘❤ to go 🚶 to the Royal Opera House. It was nice to see 7 dials in daylight. You certainly 👍 got a great view of London. It was a shame to see a couple of cranes in the distance. Not the best day on the London Eye. Like you said there are so many hidden spots and gardens and quiet places. I learnt some new things today. I was really surprised 😮 that there are still gaslight. The Apple 🍎 Market better have their mistletoe lights again at Christmas 🎄. Hope you got my thank 😊 you email.
Hi Lesley, glad you enjoyed it and yes so many different bits and I bet they'll do the same christmas decorations later this year! Love a good gaslight - takes you back in histyory just thinking about them - got your email and just replied :)
( 9:21 ) I thought it was York’s *The Shambles* that inspired Diagon Alley? 🤔
Funny as I know of many London and other places that claim that 👍😀
Thanks for Sharing!!💜💜💜
I've been there
What have inspired most was street with gas lamps,the garden with the benches.The balcony from one can have a panoramic view is outstanding,gas lamps reminiscing the 19th century London and one street which was famous for the crimes in former days,piccidally line,the video is remarkable
Thanks so much for watching and also commenting :)
Very helpful. Opera House tip is fabulous. I'll be stopping by!
It's really funny because you almost feel that you shouldn't be going up there , but it is free and open 😂 Enjoy it and thanks for watching and commenting 👍
So fun, I can't wait for the next 10!
Any history about those "crowns" on top the lamp posts, near St Paul's church courtyard?? Fascinating 🇬🇧🎊🇬🇧🎊🇬🇧🇬🇧
Funny you should ask, apparently if the lights have a 👑 on them it means that they are on property that belongs to the Crown. One thing I bore people with is that you always have to look up in London as that's often where the interesting bits are! Thanks Bill and also for watching and commenting on so many of our videos, really appreciated 👍😀
Brilliant video ! Got lots of tips , thanks
Thanks for watching and letting us know, have a great trip....👍
❤❤❤❤
There’s this one man that sings really well but I never found out what his name was. Is there anywhere I can check the performances by chance? Maybe where their names are listed?
Not come across this at all! 👍😀
Great videos!
Thanks so much for watching 👍😀
Very pretty
Thanks for watching
For the love of God, whatever you do, don’t go to Cafe Nero. It’s extremely average and is basically the Starbucks of the UK. You can find one on every street corner across London. There are much better/more unique places to go to at Seven Dials.
Monmouth Coffee is the best one around there but Nero's is the best of the big three chains ☕☕☕☕
@@LondonVisited Yeah, to each their own - different strokes for different folks. I thought Cafe Nero’s coffee was undrinkable. Just my $0.02.
No offense, but not traveling thousands of miles to wait in line for an over-priced ice cream cone with fake flowers on the ceiling, or to take my coffee to a little-known desolate, abandoned look-out area. If you’re trying to promote the area, at least have the common sense to wait for a sunny day. It look like dismal heck.
Thanks for watching and commenting and of course, no offense taken. The video is for those that do and the places shown are popular already and will continue to be, especially the ice cream shop which normally has massive queues. If travelling then safe journey, enjoy your travels and hope the video helped if only to know where no to go for you. Thanks 👍
