      We went from winter to winter to a few days of summer, and now back to winter. I see some blossoms, but I don't think spring is coming.

    I love your London guides, it's so nice to see London filmed like this. It's easy to forget why I love this city when I'm just commuting all the time!

  • @chontellelouisee
    @chontellelouisee Před 6 lety +30

    I loved this, Covent Garden is definitely one of my favourite spots in London but I've had nowhere near enough time to explore it yet! I'd love to see a guide like this on North London/Camden area if you're interested in making one, I'm certain there's more than JUST the markets but the markets kinda take priority anytime someone talks about North London so I wouldn't know!

    • @SamanthaMaria
      @SamanthaMaria  Před 6 lety +8

      yesss will defo do Camden!

    • @elenamoscone

  • @littlevoice_11
    @littlevoice_11 Před 6 lety +10

    I think you should do a hidden treasure/places close to the train stations e.g. Liverpool Street station. It has some amazing shops and things to see just a few of minties away. It's perfect to pass the time whilst waiting for a train.

    @chiraine1 Před 6 lety +45

    sammie, question? whatever happened to your office downtown. it was in about 3 videos while you were pregnant with indie and after that it was ever spoken about again?

    Keep these London videos coming! My husband and I don’t get to London often, but last time we were wandering aimlessly looking for a breakfast and it was getting desperate. Then we saw Dishoom and remembered it from one of your other videos. We were saved! What a recommendation!

  • @GracelynMariaHair
    @GracelynMariaHair Před 6 lety +1

    Another lovely video Sam! During the video I kept thinking "Oooo I've been right there!" I can't wait to go back to London. Definitely my favorite place to travel to xx

    @Mctrippzy Před 5 lety

    I went in 2003. Got some clothes from the Fred Perry shop and watched some street performers and got a bar of nice soap for my mam. Lovely place. Went to the market too. I was 13, great memories. Good video.

  • @brigitta7107
    @brigitta7107 Před 6 lety +2

    The way you direct your videos is art. I really can't watch a lot of CZcamsrs, but damn I love watching everything you post.

  • @AA-fz3lj
    @AA-fz3lj Před 6 lety

  • @wafy09
    @wafy09 Před 6 lety

    Samantha I love you so much! you are one of the few CZcamsrs that I keep watching (since the winged eyeliner video was uploaded), I always look forward to watch your videos. you inspire me to do and discover a lot of things in life because I'm a mom of an 8-month baby boy and trying to juggle between life and work could be hard/frustrating sometimes. I know it's not always sunshine and rainbows in life but that's why we have to keep pushing and do the things we love the most and keep doing them to make us happy. I don't know what I'm saying English is not my first language, so please pardon me. -your subscriber from K.S.A.

  • @bennie642

    A guide to south London/Brixton maybe in specific?

    • @Zainab-ox2pq
      @Zainab-ox2pq Před 6 lety +12

      No thanks, South London doesn't need to be anymore gentrified. However, I live in Tooting and can recommend Sam's 99p Store and there's a very good vape store opposite Tooting Broadway tube station.

    @Laura795100 Před 6 lety

    Love your London guide videos! Could you please do one on Hackney? I'll be traveling to London and staying there the second half of July, so I'd love to know all the cool hidden spots! ☺️

  • @giulianeda
    @giulianeda Před 6 lety

    I am really surprised you talked for a minute about Neal's Yard showing all the shops but not showing the most important (and popular and Instagrammable) things, the super colorful pastel walls with small Buddha's statues and butterflies and all! That spot is a gem, and from the video looks like every second road on Covent Garden...
    I went to Timberyard Coffee, had an amazing coffee and the most delicious brownie (qith who peanuts on the top) I ever had in my life!
    I love all your London guide's videos and the production is always stunning!

  • @georgieclay8067
    @georgieclay8067 Před 6 lety

    Omg I know London quite well so I didn't really bother watching these little guide videos but I watched the Covent Garden, soho and shorditch guides and they were so great! I did know a few of the places but they are so helpful and so well filmed, you should definitely do more xxxx

    loveeed this series but- would be super helpful in this series to have like a little map in the corner of the video or something only remembering like the directions or street names you give on the voice over can get a little confusing and to be able to link up the little route you did would be sweet!! loved the video though X

    @Zainab-ox2pq Před 6 lety

    Urgh Covent Garden is such a human zoo, there is no where to "chill" because it's too busy everywhere you go and it's hella expensive so make sure you got enough mulla. I use to work around there and it use to stress me out having to brave the crowds when I needed to grab lunch.
