We went into London to try the famous Fortnum & Mason restaurant in the Royal Exchange. After our meal we went to the swanky Oblix Cocktail Bar in The Shard.

Hi James and Heli bobs I love your blogs. I'm suffering with depression at the moment and watching you two is the only thing that brings a smile to my face. Love you both xx
So sorry to hear that, sending you loads of love xx
@@xyxox2229 My husband has depression, so we hope you get some comfort knowing you are not alone, and we send you
love and hugs.🇦🇺
You're right there, James. Twenty-five quid for fish and chips in Fortnum and Mason in London ain't bad considering they're twenty quid in a mediocre, touristy pub restaurant here in the North East.
For my Dads 73rd birthday we made the mistake of taking him somewhere posh we went to the savoy. He ordered roast beef and when it came he said i love pink but that looks like you have ripped the horns off wiped its arse and plonked it on the plate 😲😳😲poor waiter didn't know what to say so after a few seconds (that seemed like ages) said excuse me sir i do apologise ...we just wanted the floor to swallow us up.Never again did we take him anywhere posh from that day it was the pie and mash shop 😂😂😂 .
😂😂
I love your dad already!
Helen is such a beautiful soul. You’re one lucky man James!
I love Helen, she’s such good company; humorous and good fun.
Proper milf
Yes indeed
Yeah I find myself just smiling all through the video when Helen is involved. Some of it because she's just great fun and so genuine, and part of it their banter. Great stuff.
She is so sexy
You two are hilarious. My wife and I were laughing our heads off at the 'spot the Northerners going in a posh hotel room' moment. I can see the pair of us doing exactly the same.
Life’s too short glad you guys made the most of it!
Love the hotel reviews Alex Polizzi must be shaking 💯🫶😜
I went first class by train from Birmingham to London. The outstanding memory was a "gentleman" in a very expensive suit who (whilst "working" on his laptop) put a finger into his nose, pulled something out, examined it and then wiped it onto the empty seat next to him. I really, really, really wanted to rub his nose in it.
My husband had a similar experience recently. A posh looking man near him constantly picking stuff from his eyes ears and nose and eating it all. He even licked his fingers afterwards as if he’d just eaten a delicious cake or something! My husband nearly gagged.
It’s a different country down there isn’t it? Great to see you treating yourself, life is short xx
This was a great vlog! i love how yorkshire people have to find other yorkshire people to just touch down for a min! A wise woman once told me "spend your money! there are no pockets in shrouds!" x
I rarely swear but there were two of the same two words came from my lips whilst watching your vlog. But you both deserve to be treated because your so wonderful together. I wish i could find someone who loves me like you love Helen❤🎉
Absolutely wonderful. The view from the bar in the Shard was worth the prices asked for the drinks - well, nearly! It was good to see you both having a posh trip to London and that deal with LNER takes some beating. But the video was made by you two being such a great couple remaining down to earth despite the opulence around you!! Just loved it.
Thank you :-)
SHE'S PISSED AGAIN

You call that pissed? Oh boy, son, you have led a very sheltered life!
So normal, easy watch, no BS. One of the best on here. Keep up the good work. 👍
Ace video. Much better than watching mainstream tv. Keep them coming. Cheers to you both.
Bless James can't relax even when someone else is paying😂
Wow, the trip looked fab, the view from the shard was so beautiful all lit up! I’d be there all night just looking 😂the food looked so good but personally wouldn’t bother with the oysters and not really into them. The fish and chips look very nice and the peas you cannot have the peas and I would’ve gone for the raspberry. Pavlova myself looked delicious. You did a very good job of it James of course always professional. Helen adds a laugh x
I'm so envious that you're getting some time in London. I was hoping to go next weekend but can't now so will make do with you two and your impressions - hope you have a ball. 😊❤
“I’ve counted them, there’s 16” 😂😂 ⭐️ great video as always
Loved this one. We lived and worked in London for many years, but left 7 years ago for a quieter life in Cornwall. No regrets, but there’s so much about London I miss. Such a treat to go posh. Especially if someone else is paying!
I would have an heart attack spending £200 just on food and drink but if you have the money it's okay for a rare treat
It was free from sponsors i think
Just as well but £200 I would have an heart attack or stroke
Excellent video - probably one of the best of yours that I've watched. There is nothing on this Earth that is quite as good as a freebie. Glad you had such a good time.
1.47 every single person apart from one woman is looking down at their mobile phone.
yeah, walk fast and ignore everyone is Londons hack to survival. Pre phones it was the Evening Standard, free. Grab a copy and keep your head down. I liked my time there, but glad i got out.
Great video guys, good to see you having such a great time. Helen could be a model for the pre raphaelite artists with that hair, fantastic.😊
Had a lovely afternoon tea in The Shard the other week it was amazing and the views were amazing.
Great video guys. I thoroughly enjoyed the two of you having fun and the banter 😉
I say Lord James and Lady Helen mixing with the hoi polloi in F&M....what what what ...LOL
You clearly don't know what "hoi polloi" means, mate.
@@Alan_Mac indeed old chap
Great video. "The oysters are pissed" Hillarious 😂
I love the vibe you and Helen have when dining out. The Salty Pixie best describes it as being wiggly. Between 1986 and 2002 I was lucky to live in Scotland and commute to London weekly and living that type of life every week took it's toll. But at 67 I am a reformed character and still here. I still have nightmares about a lost weekend which stated with half pints of port at lunchtime on a Friday, ended up in France on the Saturday and got home to Scotland on the Monday . We live part of the year outside Torrevieja and your F&M meal would have been less than 100 euros at say the Lobster Restaurant in Playa Flamenca. However because of Brexit we are back in Scotland as we have run out of days. Love Yorkshire as my wife and I worked there in the mid 2000's living in Whitely on the A19
Brilliant video James and Helen. Congratulations on getting a well deserved treat from a sponsor. You two are entertainment gold. Those Fortnum and Mason prices were pretty good for London where one small chocolate can cost £4.00. Loved the view from the Shard , but those prices ! Thanks for posting.
Thank you, I didn't think it was too bad either. It was cheaper than the Ivy in York
Really good post . Love seeing the both of you enjoying all the towns and food . Hope we can come over there next year and visit some of the history in England . ✌️❤️
So nice to see the places I used to go to as a Londoner...I am a Londoner no more. You two are hilarious. Thank you ❤❤
I’ve only just started watching and I’m cracking up already 😂😂😂
Love the video, we went to London for the first time this year. Loved it, hoping to go back next year❤😊 ❤❤
Helen is spot on with the Oysters, and yes you need two bottles to flow with the food.
I always enjoy watching you and Helen on your vacation thanks for sharing it with us
😂😂i feel your pain in the shard/shaft. I also got the biggest shock when the bill dropped on table 😮
Pissed Helen is a hoot ! 😂😂😂 nice one guys, top vlogging again 👍🏻
you should get sponsored more often James. This was a beautifully funny and epic vlog from both of you. much respect🙏- Kenny
Thanks Kenny
Thanks for reminding me why I detest London guys . Glad you had fun though.
I’m in London later in the year with friends. I was about to message to recommend we go to The Shard for evening drinks… it didn’t even get to the draft stage when you said it was £48 for 2 half lagers and 1 Dirty Martini…. I’m from Sunderland but lived in Leeds for 9 years so I think that gives me the right to be tight…. 🤣
Great vlog 😁🙌
Great video as always! My dad hated going in posh places and he always put on a really rough accent when ordering 😂
More of that please it was great, just up my street. Had afternoon tea in F&M when we were staying round the corner in the Ritz. We’ve been treating ourselves (a lot) since we both took early retirement and we love doing the ‘posh’ places.
Glad you enjoyed yourselves you’re both so entertaining to watch xx
Thank you :-)
Brilliant Vlog You two , & well done on the sponsorship it's nice to be recognised for your hard work , & good on you for treating yourselfs with the money 👍
Just loved this, you both deserve a treat like this! Looked like you had a fantastic time 😊
48 quid up the Shard! Haha. You’re paying for the experience! Enjoy every moment you two! x😂💕
Wow James! Your editing skills are off the chart! You were always decent but you are really skilled at it now 👏
Helen - what a beautiful dress! You have lovely taste in dresses.
Omg that bar in The Shard! What incredible views - I love dimmly lit bars but unless I win the lottery, I can't see myself ever getting a bevvy there!
Thanks for another great video gfta 😊✌
Thank you :-)
You two are so real, entertaining couple, well done, great vlog
Hi James and Helen the most relaxed I've seen you both look for a long time!!X🥰
Really enjoyed this vlog! You and Helen complement each other, you’re so funny, made me laugh, thanks!🥰
I’ve enjoyed watching you and Helen’s adventures over the time I found you keep on doing what you do best also I’m really pleased you’re watching the Scotsman in Tenerife 😂
Great music James good toe tapper,great cinematic feel even a bit of slow motion, top notch..
James I can't praise you highly enough that tap toey intro with slow motion, the iconic look of some the single file walking down the steps the train going over the bridge the super model appearing around the corner all unrehearsed caught the essence in a nutshell that's a talent James..
Love to have night out with you two, great video Helen and James 🥂👍
Another nice and entertaining vlog James & Helen. You both deserved that lovely meal. You’ve worked hard 👍
when u got off Tower Hill u shouldve walked round the corner to Tower Gateway DLR (Docklands Light Railway) and it stops at South Quay Plaza or Heron Quays where Britannia Hotel is,
Crushed peas, they became popular about ten years ago at 'upmarket' places because it was deemed to sound posh and some have stuck with it. Give me proper mushies.
OMG James and Helen, what a fab vlog. That view was spectacular and the drinks bill was mind-blowing. I wouldn't be able to walk if I drank 2 bottles of wine lol..I can always tell when Helen is tipsy, so funny you both are together. Food looked good as always.
Debbie Brid
Thanks Debbie, we had a great time and wouldn't usually spend all that money on wine! 😂
Sending lots of love to you and Helen, you two are a match made in heaven ❤❤
Thank you ❤️
I love it when Helen leads the way ....great fun and blog .
Love you two❤️ Helen has an awesome personality. You’re both such fun together!🥰 xx
Wow! Stunning view from the Shard, but bloody hell, those prices!😱
Looks like you had a great time, and why not, I would do the same. Thanks James and Helen.
Loved your vlog glad you enjoyed your little break
You two are brilliant like fish out of water 😂 Deserve all the success you get. Great to see you enjoying it 👌
Brilliant to see you both travelling in style....for a change😊😊
What's wrong with the Peugeot van? 😂
Great video James, loved it when you took Helen up the Shard lol 😂
We called in Harrods cafe for coffee & a croissant, l'm sure it was about £35. But it was worth it, a lovely place to be and it's good to treat yourself. That looked a great trip away. 👍
Loved it, you 2 deserved a treat, I love oysters but with shallot and Tabasco
Nice Vlog James/Helen . Cheers for the Heads up with the Shard . £48 for 3 drinks w.t.f .They definitely see people coming, don't they ! . I'm from Essex and I still wouldn't pay that . All the best guys.
I love you two
I felt like I was sat at the table in Fortnam n mason with yous
Great video love it so funny you two, Oh and thanks tro Surfshark!
James and Helen, loads of Kudos to you both. You are ROYALTY today. Truly amazing you actually came into London. Love the Hollies opening but Helen was not in a Black Dress. James you are. You were so fortunate to enjoy the Oblix Bar Shard. So lucky as you have to book way ahead.
I forgot to tell her to put a black dress on 😂
Malaysia Petronas Twin Towers where Sean Connery filmed Entrapment, had Chinese Meal for 4 in 2000, £1,000 quid. Life is only once enjoy.
What a treat! Congratulations on sponsor 🤩 🙋♀️
Love you both, such a good entertaining video, comedy gold, absolutely brilliant loved it. Xx
First Class used to get you unlimited alcohol at one time but now it's restricted, so I travel standard and take a tenner's worth of cans of Stella. Happy couple. BTW Great Video...
We love watching your videos and your adventures two smashing people xx❤
Loved this video. We had a good laugh. ❤🇦🇺
James and Helen, I do enjoy joining you on your outings.
That building opposite looks like the 15 minute city type thing, :(
good service good food great company and a hell view at the end. perfect trip I loved it
£48 for 2 halves & a martini. 😲😮 OMG.. can get a flight to Spain for that. 😂 joking aside it looked a lovely bar, and the meal looked great too. Loved this. 👍 xx
love you guys♥
Such a funny and honest sponsored video... other youtubers should take note 😅. Golden 😅
Another fun video!! Living life to the full!! Love it!!
The meal didn’t horrify me, nice place, good service so fair enough, the name is synonymous with quality… but the final drinks … 😳 good grief!! I was thinking £25… that was a bigger rip off than the Bakewell tarts on your Becky’s trip! 🙄😮🙄
I love oysters Helen 😊 “did you enjoy it ?” James: No 🤣🤣
What a pair of great people. Love you two.
James on that fish & chip review bit, did you and the fella behind go T-Shirt shopping together or something? Top video guys as always! ….Smithy
Look at you two, living the high life . Enjoy ❤
Great vlog as always, great couple
Wow I just love you 2..can't stop laughing at how natural you get on together 😂 Helen is amazingly funny . £48 for drink wtf is in those glasses 🥂 can't wait to you go to spain again..😅😅
Wow. Great trip. U both looked like u enjoyed it n u both deserve it. 🫶🏻xx
Looked lovely, who cares about the price when it's the one off experience that matters. That's how memories are made.

You two are so fun to watch your a lovely couple.🌻🦘
Never mind Trainline, I can sort you out with half price LNER tickets 😎
