Suitcase Monkey very nice 👍

[@jessicaseverns6578]

Love your channel! It is so well filmed, edited, and so perfectly informative. Which is why i have a travel question! Im going to England, primarily London, on my own for 2 weeks in July. Are there restaurants or experiences I should avoid being a solo person? Or are there things i really SHOULD do since I'm only 1 person. Thanks so much!!

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Hi there. Thanks. Hmm. Nothing specific to avoid. There aren’t any super serious ‘do not go there’ areas in London but all the usual city tips still apply at dark when alone. As for things to do, check out my museum video and I’m doing a good market video next month. Everything else featured on this channel works the same as 1 or 2 people. Enjoy!

[@jessicaseverns6578]

@@SuitcaseMonkey thanks so much! Ive watched all your videos about London travel so far and I look forward to your next one! Thanks again!!

[@EuroTangoExplorer24]

From quaint neighborhoods to tucked-away cafes and secret gardens, each recommendation offers a glimpse into the authentic essence of London that often goes unnoticed by visitors. As someone who appreciates exploring destinations like a local, I found this video to be incredibly insightful and inspiring.

Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler looking to delve deeper into London's local culture, this video serves as a valuable guide for discovering the city's hidden treasures. Don't miss out on these gems during your London adventures! 🇬🇧✨

I've lived in London since I was a kid and it's easy to forget it's actually a pretty place with beautiful architecture. I visit the places you have listed as well as covent garden. Often fantastic buskers there which make the atmosphere that much better.

Beautiful london

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Yup!! 😍

[@pal020701]

I visited London last month for the BTS concert lol unfortunately my dumb friend planned our trip way too tight so we didn't get to see anything of the city which is why I just booked a second trip in December. I love this city, it'll be my third time there but this time I want to make sure to make the most out of it and this video is a gem and exactly what I was looking for! I've also seen your other London tour guide videos but I was searching for not so touristy places where you can enjoy that typical London vibe, the architecture and views. you really nailed it with this video, thank you for the great tips!

[@LunasofficialMum]

Take me with youuouuuu

[@shorttermrentalcompany5521]

[@doloresfuertes6677]

All your videos are great. This one from London's native I particularly like. It would be fantastic if you can make a whole series of videos like this. I am a kind of tourists who is hunting in the cities for secret gems only locals know, so I am your viewer!

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Hi thanks. I do have a London playlist with about 5 or so videos in about London. Also check out our secondary CZcams channel - Carry On Monkey where I have a few more London videos.

[@user-zzyachieve]

Great video like a lot :)

[@richmck007]

Woahhhhh Which iPhone man?
Your video is great!
I am from London.
Left years ago.
Go back once is awhile but not seen it look so good in recent years!
Your portrayal does much more than a BBC documentary to say the least (!)
An iPhone did this? Come on now! I need the one you have!
Thanks for taking the time to do this video.

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Haha. It was mostly shot on an iPhone XS.

[@janeflasterstein8707]

Absolutely love your videos!

[@studogable]

For an alternative to London Walks, check out Free Tours by Foot. It's an interesting "alternative" experience.
Tremendous video, mate.

[@studogable]

Seconded. Sinead and company are amazing.

[@nawalriham4325]
