In this London video, I show you why London, England is the empire capital. Let me know what you think in the comments below!
London, England's MEGACITY: The Empire Capital
London, UK is the capital of the United Kingdom and one of the world's major cities. Renowned for its arts and culture, lively nightlife, and world-renowned universities.
I lived in London for over 10 years and visited and lived in most well-known cities including new York, Sydney, Paris l can assure you that there is not a better city. it's the most exciting place on earth vibrant ,fashion, night-life,cosmopolitan ,a real city as they say if you tired of London you're tired of life!
Agreed
As a Londoner myself, I've never heard such praise 😂👍🏼
@@carinamurillo2150 well that's a compliment then ! and enjoy signal failures of london tube while I'm soaking the sun on the gold coast Australia 😁
Completely support your views as I had same experience like you, had lived London over 8 years🤩💥
Seems u have never been to TOKYO 😮💨😮💨🔥🔥
Every return of the Megacities puts a smile on my face.
London isn't a Megacity. It has an population of 9.5 million people so it is just a city. The guy got it wrong he counted all places in Greater London which has a population of 4 million
I live in London, one of the few that can literally say he's 10-15 minutes walking distance from the Buckingham Palace. Live in Victoria, Westminster, and can say that it has been the most unique and wonderful living experiences of my life. I've been all over globally, but no place have I ever felt, more connected, than in London. The only rub here is the subsequent affects from Brexit, COVID and the war in Europe, that is affecting all of us in London with the cost of living, lack of infrastructure, staff and supply issues.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Musab. Wow, 15 minute walk to Buckingham means you're right down in it! Hang in there this winter my friend ;)
I've lived in London all my life, and as a teenager I love the freedom the amazing transport links provide. I can go anywhere in the city in an hour, at any time of the day. There's so much to see and do, so much to look at. You can tell how the city has been built up over hundreds of years; it just feels so organic, a feeling that no US city could match. I am lucky to live here.
Yes, it's amazing to realize (and see and feel) how young all of our cities are on this side of the pond!
London is a sh*thole and the worst place in England to live in.
@@Bobbo123 True. I love hate it. It's not as bad as non Londoner's think, try the north west! Liverpool, Manchester, Warrington... they're equally as shite.

@@TDC_TheDocumentaryChannel hi
really nicely paced and detailed video! and you squeezed it all into less than 15 minutes. impressive.
Thanks, I really appreciate that! Tehran tomorrow.
@@TDC_TheDocumentaryChannel credit where it's due! and nice, i'll look out for it.
without a doubt, london is the best example of urbanization in the world. History, art, architecture, modernity all in one and a very successful combination indeed.
I am planning to visit London in the near future 2025.Thanks you so much for this remarkable video about the United Kingdom’s capital city in 2022❤❤❤
Capital of capitals. And i forgot a well done short video of London and it's amazing history over the years.
Wow! What an underrated and amazing video that was! Instantly gained another subscriber, my friend :) Looking forward to the next city already.
What a great city!
What a great video, well done and thank you for all the infos!!
🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Gerald hi
Yay my home city! I’ve been waiting for this one for a long time
Enjoy
@@TDC_TheDocumentaryChannel hi
Been patiently waiting for this
London is almost like a country inside a country. It has its own government in the form of an assembally with a mayor as a leader. It has the entire population of Austria in one city.
I haven’t seen London as now, very goos job to make this fantastic video my friend, greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪
These videos are absolutely fantastic. Thank you!
Thank you!
Live in one of the counties bordering London. I always hear a lot of hate for London from other people in the UK but personally I've always loved London.
because london is poor and dirty
@@xCeL46 If you think London is dirty go to Manchester... London is spotless clean in comparison.
Its usually people who dont live in London
@@LDNpat Birmingham is a dump full of rubbish and rude people badly run council too.
Only people who hate London are the ones who are bigoted and don't live in London the fact is without London the rest of the UK would not be standing .
Love this series so much!!!❤❤
Really interesting video, thanks! Look forward to exploring your other content :)
Welcome aboard!
Beautiful video. Great narratives. Tnx 4sharing 👌
Fascinatingly interesting! Congratulations!!
Amazing grahphics and editing!
That's true
Very insightful video as always.
Glad you think so!
Absolutely fantastic video
Glad you enjoyed it
No other cities in the world is as vibrant as like London I had ever lived for over 8 years there, still keep reminding those memories I have had when I was there- loving❤ London.
The footage is this video is breathtaking
Lots of good stuff for me to choose from on this one (like LA) and the 3d buildouts on Google map studio are 🔥🔥🔥
Nice vid! I like the mix of history and present day.
London is my favorite city. I hope someday I will be financially stable enough to visit there. From 🇵🇭
I hope so too!
Just wanted to say that I enjoyed the video and that you have a very pleasant voice to listen to.
Glad you enjoyed it!
London looks the best during Summer. When you wake up and hear the birds chirping in the trees from your window and when you go outside you see people walking, dressed for work or exercise, people jogging, kids playing in the park, some sat down for coffee etc.. it just feels soo alive in contrast to my hometown of 90k people where the streets seem silent during summer.
And during winter is just a wave of depression :)
I have always found Londoners to be friendly and polite. Despite the reputation it gets
Compared to the US (where I live), Britishers are generally more polite and have etiquette. They may be more reserved and not as talkative as Americans, but they’re more well-mannered more polished around the edges.
Other parts of the UK people are not friendly and Other UK cities are vert racist and bigoted.
London looks so gorgeous and modern ❤❤❤
I love London
So beautiful metropolis❤ I always dreamed about to visit London. Also my dream is to walk in rare forests of Great Britain 😊
I’m so glad you’ve mentioned our forests ,our forest’s our the oldest protected ones in the world and most were our monarchs hunting grounds ,now made public
Honestly is the best city in the world. I’ve been to a lotta cities. Just so rich with history, culture and the energy is amazing.
Nah. It's cool, but can get depressing. Tokyo takes the cake imo.
@@rayxr lived in Tokyo three years. Found that way more depressing than London - London is anything but depressing to me. To each their own though
@@rayxrtokyo is the definition of depression
Interesting video, for those romanticising London let me reveal some facts often overlooked (some were touched on);
The video mentioned London was filthy. It still is filthy! When I used to work there I recall the stink in the morning in central LDN. The streets are grimy! Western Megacity wise, prob only NYC could challenge it for filth. The pollution is so bad they had to introduce a clean air zone! Plus charge a fortune in tax for drivers of most vehicles.
The rent and house prices are insanely high & arguably unrealistic for single people wanting to live alone unless they have a high income. You don't get much space for your money either & could live significantly better in another UK city for the same price.
Travel on the underground/metro costs a small fortune and if you work in central London, a large portion of your wages will be spent on your travel and housing. The metro system is outdated as it was built in the 19th century so is mainly cramped. At rush hour it is horrendous. It can be a lonely city too as people do not even want to make eye contact with you. If you go to other UK cities you'll notice they're more friendly than Londoners in general.
The bus is cheaper than the underground but is slow & the traffic is terrible, it is hard to get anywhere quickly. They had to introduce a congestion charge to drive through central London & the zone has been expanding.
The crime rate is relatively high. You should prob not walk alone in dark quiet areas alone. There have been several high-profile random murders of women. However, I guess it could be worse, given the size of the city.
Empire city is a fitting title for the video as its wealth from the industrial revolution is a direct result of plundering and pillaging around the world, as most of Europe was overtly doing at that time & the legacy of that leads to the next point.
Not to be all negative - the city is super diverse & you can find every type of person there largely due to its imperial empire past. Whatever you're into, you'll find it there & there's always something to do if you have money (or for free if you're imaginative enough)
@@TheMiliPro dw we hear the negatives all the time. This is literally one of the rare moments the positives have been touched upon.
This is remarkably accurate
Please make a video for Oslo, Norway because Norway give Christmas trees to London every year.
No joke
That's true. Christmas tree at Trafalgar Square is from Norway 🎄
Yes. That's true
Norway explointing trees to London for money and it's concerning
@@Madikon07 The tree is a gift given in recognition of our support during WW2.
Such a great city so much to do such a good night out!
Visited earlier this month. Fabulous city, absolutely humongous, especially coming from a city of 70k population.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Would you really call a place with 70k a "city"? Mines 68k and we call it a town.
@@Kaiji...the population of london is 8.9 million, bit more than 70k lmfao
@@drone181 learn to read. Go back to school.
@@Kaiji... I’d consider any settlement of more than 20k people a city.
As a londerner i love my city amazing video
Brilliant presentation
Amazing city 👌🏻😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Excellent.
Most of the bodies from the Great fire were buried in Gravesend, hence its name, also Princess Pocahontas is buried there.
Britain is such a wonderful country!
Britain is several countries. England is the country you’re referring to.
@@lew9170 Ironic you call him a fool because you don’t know what several actually means. Several doesn’t mean seven it means 3 or more but less then many. So basically 3-10.
@@rubberducky4074 No he's referring to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
not anymore sadly
Jennifer Then you must not visit other parts of the globe, well now London is capital of declined Empire.
If you live on the tube line then you are so close to everything, I stayed in a flat that is next to hyde park, its crazy to have such a big green space in the center of the city that I am 15 mins walk away from the center and 2 mins walk into a giant green space.
You should make a documentary about Livorno, the third Italian commercial port
Ma che c'entra Livorno? 😄
nice assessment
I absolutely love London ! I feel at home each time i go there and i don't know why...
Лондон красивый город конечно я там не было везде красиво где нас нету вес мир прекрасен
London is certainly a large city! London's history encompasses many historical events! It would certainly be a one of it's kind to visit!!
A remarkably upbeat assessment of the city, given the chaos of its recent news, but an informative video nonetheless.
What recent news
@@davidmin3583 Truss's 30+ billion pound devastation of the economy; the steep rise in mortgage rates in a country with a tradition of variable-rate mortgages (and thus an expected collapse of housing prices as many homeowners default); Sunak/Hunt's slashing of public service funding; the prospect of every household needing to find thousands of extra pounds to heat their homes through the winter... that's for starters. Behind it all, Brexit's dramatic drop in trade with what used to be their main trading partner. The UK is looking particularly fragile at present, moreso than it has (arguably) for centuries.
Thanks Goostrey, I'm trying to take the long view as much as I can with this series.
@@TDC_TheDocumentaryChannel Fair enough, but the wealth of London (often as a repository for foreign wealth) has long contrasted with the relative poverty of the country as a whole, and those fault lines have to give at some point. We are living in interesting times.
You might want to read Oliver Bullough's "Butler to the World" about the modern British economy.
Beautiful London
Loved London. Came here from University and got A good finance career and up to £200k before 26. Made me networth just under £4 million before 30. Thank you London - great restaurants and entertainment
What job did you go into? Do you have any tips?
@@fbdjwjflac mathematics and finance degree and Masters in financial mathematics. Go to a good Russell group university, then get investment banking experience then get a leading Masters. You will then earn will in London if work hard for a leading company
@@dac8939 Im currently doing economics and finance at the university of Exeter is this a sufficient degree and university to get into the industry? Also any thoughts on the value of doing an industrial placement year at university?
Finally, I have heard that the working life balance and working hours are gruelling in investment banking did you find this to be true?
@@Terozad Is ok, but you will need do a lot more work to target the industry as it is not a main target top university. To get in you will need to do more internships and network well. You will not get into quant, but you can try other areas like asset management etc. To get into quant you ideally need mathematics degree, Masters in financial mathematics or Phd in mathematics, physics etc.
@@Terozad main target for undergrad are Oxbridge, LSE, Imperial, Warwick. Semi targets are Edinburgh, Durham, Bristol, St Andrews, UCL, Nottingham, York,. Then weaker targets (still god chance for top candidate but in tier 3 list) would be Exeter, Manchester, Sheffield, Bath, Glasgow, Kings College, Loughbrough etc. After that it becomes very difficult.
I studied abroad in England and visited London many times. I'm from New Jersey in the States and I must say, it's one of my favorite capitals. Almost better than NYC
But NYC isn't a capital.
@@peterc.1618 They never said it was tbf
I'm lucky enough to live in a town with direct trains to central London.
I love this city & can't wait to move there
Fun fact: it is estimated only 6 people died in the great fire of London. It spread rapidly but burnt so bright it was visible from a long way away and people were able to get out of the way
Great fact, I was surprised by the low number during my research.
Great video and I've lived in London longer than any other through choice as I grew in another part of the UK. Incidentally the largest Roman structure possibly in existence there - a British cultural icon and world heritage site of Hadrian's wall.!Indeed I've also worked at the LSE and near the roman wall remains that do remain alongside a statue of Trajan actually as I worked in the street parallel to the river several times over the ears. London is the best, but of course I'm biased!
Thanks Jamie! There was so much I wanted to include but had to cut for time :(
Where do those 3D renders of London come from? Sometimes it looks like google maps, but sometimes there are moving boats and traffic. Don't think google maps has that. Flight Simulator maybe?
Mostly from Google Earth Studio, but those with moving boats and traffic are actual drone video shots! Glad they fit seamlessly together enough to be fairly indistinguishable.
Love London ❤️ 🇬🇧🏴
Hi
OWH HELLLL YEAHHHH. Lets go
Let's goooooooooooooo!
4:44 Ollie Bye!
You missed two key points. One is the very unique jurisdiction that is the City of London Corporation. Granted by William the Conqueror, the City enjoys local sovereign rule and can exempt itself from acts of parliament. Financial regulation is often just a handshake agreement. It is the ultimate offshore location right in the middle of Greater London. The second is that London is literally the center of the world in that it has the lowest average air or sea mile distance to all other major cities on earth. Heathrow is therefore the most connected airport on the planet.
Great points Jeffrey, thanks!
Interesting how the UK, despite being some tiny island, has probably had the biggest influence on the entire world. Nothing special anymore, but still impressive.
Agreed
The UK is far less influential in the world after Brexit, tragically.

I live in New York and it is one of the best cities in the world but this here shows that one thing that NYC lacks the most is the long chain of highly important historical events. Also the growth of London that the author talks about in the period of 1600-1700 here, mainly comprises of the wealth looted from countries like India and increasing the Sovereign Grant aka Royal Wealth.
Lol new york is overrated as f#ck.there's barely anything historic, it's just giant skyscrapers
And London today has nothing to do with 1600s or 1700s British empire.
Most of its very recently built after Margaret thacher came.
Also, don't new york was directly funded by American slave trade.so you don't get to criticize others🙃
My favorite city in the world.
Beautiful London City

5:15 not quite true. Coffee houses were merely a branch off of the ale - and tea - houses that had existed for decades or (in the case of ale houses) centuries prior.
Still, such a brilliant video. Beautifully done mate.
13:17 also, its pronounced "oxford-sheer".
Glad you liked it and thanks for the feedback!
I just have to say thanks for putting the phonetic spelling when correcting someone. I know in the US and to my knowledge even in most accents in the UK, shire by itself is not pronounced sheer. I can't believe how many get upset when someone pronounces something phonetically.
@TDC Please work on pronunciations. Oxfordshire for example..
I'm from Devonshire and we pronounce the shire as in shirt.
Tea houses came around the same time as coffee houses
London wasn't abandoned after the Romans left - the Anglo Saxons and the Vikings both set up settlements in the walled city before the Norman Conquest.
Wasn't the Viking/ Jute settlement slightly outside the walls of Londonium? Modern day Alydwch area?

I didn't know that London was a dry city, it seems that climate change is forcing everyone to plan for the future I think that the city of London needs to construct and designate areas for reservoirs for the future water crisis of tomorrow.
It's because it's in the South East, the driest part of the United Kingdom.
I agree, although before flooding huge areas it’s worth remembering that the U.K. is the only nation on earth with an entirely privatised water system. Guaranteed profits for water companies disincentivises investment in infrastructure and has lead to billions of litres of water being lost each year, and mass dumping of raw sewage into water ways to cut costs. We need to establish public good instead of profit as the organising principle of our water system, and address the issues with our current infrastructure before flooding new lands.
@@mynameisjoejeans *England & Wales are the only countries with an entirely privatised water system. Scotland and Northern Ireland aren't.

This is a really interesting video for me. I'm English and my town has a train line that goes directly into London. I have always hated London. I have ADHD and London's pace is wildly overstimulating for me. This helped me see my country's capital from a different light. It still sucks in a lot of ways to me, but now I know it also has a few unique positives.
There are areas of London that you can go to that aren't busy at all. Fitzrovia and Bloomsbury are really chilled on weekends. And if you wanna experience more of London's history, you can go to bank and monument are for some historic walks there and that entire area is empty on the weekends! In fact, that area of London is so empty on weekend not even coffee shops and food places are open there! Unfortunately, you still have to go through the really busy areas to get anywhere empty and chilled 😊
London is great because of its rich multi-culture. Muslims, Christians, Jews and people of all backgrounds living side by side. Sure it's not perfect, but it is perhaps the greatest place out of all places in terms of diversification. Any racism, hate and non-sense gets stamped out rather quickly, unlike most other places. 👍💎🔥
Other UK cities are very racist and segregated with no integration at all.
Suburbia: "places like Los angeles" ? no ALL of north america fell under the big sprawl making it impossible to build effective public transport and live by foot in most of the places.
Wonderful view
Londinium is such a cool and Roman name. That is all.
I know!

*It is the 11th longest metro system in the world.
Underground..
@@jamesmorris3123 Okay
"Londinium" translates as "at the temple of Isis". As Isis was the major goddess worshipped by the Romans. And they named their new city after her.
The remains of the original Rome Wall , built round their city to protect it , can be seen in an area named The Barbican , on the wall is written "Londinium".
why do you think it means temple of isis?
Great video! But the way ylu pronounced "plague" kinda ruined it😂😅
London is a vibrant and multicultural cosmopolitan city compared to the rest of the UK always had many cultures and integrated city many condemn and criticise London yet without London economy the rest of the UK would not be standing .
Most larger British cities are hugely multicultural. Liverpool, Bristol, Cardiff, Manchester, Glasgow etc etc etc where many languages are spoken, schools where dozens of different languages are heard.
@huwsalway4099 other Uk cities are very English still and lots of racism and racial tensions and segregated areas with no integration at all people live separate lives, London has been multicultural for the longest other parts of the UK are changing and locals don't like changes hence why racism.and segregation is high in other uk cities and towns. Multicultural means nothing people are not united in the UK.
@@rogerdoger3347 some yes but not all, Cardiff and Liverpool are hugely multicultural but integration works pretty well partly because they both had the earliest ethnic settlements from Africa and the Middle East in the early 20th century because they were then the most important docks in the country after London.
@@huwsalway4099 Birmingham and west midlands is very racist segregated and same with Manchester and other northern cities have loads of racism and divisions no integration at all people are backwards and bigoted.

Slight inaccuracy at 1:45 - Henry III was crowned in Gloucester cathedral in 1216
When you called the city of london a ceremonial district, that isnt correct. The city of london is completely separate from london, and is treated as kind of an autonomous region of england.
Billions of pounds of dirty Russian money has flowed into the UK economy via the City of London, thanks to the Tory governments from 2010 - 2021. Putin was delighted with Brexit because it removed EU oversight of money-laudering and tax evasion/avoidance, so the UK became a haven for dirty Russian money in the years leading up to Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
Be sure to do Manchester-Britain's second city at some point as well!
@Jay Tee No, Britain's second city is Glasgow.
