Oh wow!! Thanks for listing all of that!!!
OMGosh! 😮 thanks for sharing. 💰💷💸
Beautiful Street, Incredible Weather, Fantastic Cars, Gorgeous Hannah - who could ask for anything more.
Love the lowkey flex of basically saying this place is posh and full of the top 1%, followed by Hannah saying she “doesn’t live too far from here”, you get yours girl. 😂❤
It doesn't necessarily mean anything, because in London wealthy and middle class areas are often in very close proximity to each other. I live less than 5 minutes away from one of the most expensive roads in London, yet I live in a relatively standard middle class home and most of my neighbours would consider themselves as middle class as well.
Grosvenor Square back in the 1800s was lined from one end to the other with large 4 and 5 story houses. There are only 2 left. In your opening shot, there is one of them just to the left. Grosvenor Street looks like what Grosvenor Square used to look like. The square was made to look continental with the newer buildings. Number 38 is one of the original houses on the Square.
Why is the only two left?
@@AngloSaxonVanguard Perhaps the leases had not expired. The reason I know a little bit about this area is because through research I found that my great grandfather was born a stone's throw from here in the 1800s. They were not rich. There were the rich and those who sold goods to them.
Love you love your content but please please stop saying guys!!!
Guys…
@@HannahRickettsdon't stop saying anything please!🙏😂
I just love your chirpy talking expressing your internal thought processing as you wander around, it is positively delightful!
Well said...I agree❣
I love the patchwork of old buildings. Mayfair is beautiful.
I'm American, and *yes* the ice thing is definietly a part of our culture. Here in NYC really nice restaurants might not give out gobs of ice but any fast food or fast casual place will give you a ridiculous amount of ice even if you're in Minnesota in wintertime :/
When I was a teenager and started getting into iced coffee (which often have more ice than coffee), I started telling the barista to go easy on the ice. The amount of dirty looks they give is funny and extrodinary, because they know darn well you're doing it to get more product (anyone would notice a half empty cup).
I still do that!
My 9 and a half years old daughter wanted to try a decaf iced latte from Starbucks, I hate their products so she had never been inside one. She paid for it out of her own pocket, then said that she could make a much better iced latte at home and was really upset that she spent €4,60 on a cup of mostly ice 😂😂😂😂😂. She will NOT be back 😊
Here in America, the amount of ice at the fast food restaurant is out of control. They are already charging you too much for the coffee.
Ice in drinks is a totally American thing. I remember when I visited in the late 90’s, my father said he couldn’t wait to get home so he could have as much ice as he wanted. 😂. I laughed at him so hard. He loved everything else about Europe but the lack of ice in his beverage.
It is so stupid that Americans love ice..really so dumb. Should invade Greolandia instead of oil countries..
This is another awesome adventure in London with Hannah exploring
the city and Grosvenor Square London this is what brightens up my
Fridays watching and listening to you have a wonderful weekend and
Thank You very much Lady Hannah.🇬🇧🧝♀️👋🇬🇧
Totally understand when you say you’ve come into your love of architecture “later” in life (I’m 34, we’re still young right?!), one of my favourite things to do in a new place is just walk around and take in the streets/buildings, especially in Europe as the architecture is much older. I love these type of stroll-along videos. Informative and interesting slice of life, and funny cos you’re the one doing them. Really great 👍🏻 keep it up ❤
Hannah you're awesome! I'm sitting here in the cold...my view is of the mountains but it is so nice to sit down with a cuppa on a Saturday morning and watch your videos . It brightens up my day to feel like I ve been somewhere different . As if I were there with you enjoying the local culture and variety of life .Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put it. Its such a pleasure and so much fun to roam the streets with you ! Love love from NZ.
What a gorgeous day! I love that you love architecture and point out so much of it. Americans love lots of ice. Our heat is dreadful and icy drinks are a sensory way to cope.
LOVE how you added the interior pictures to all the silly expensive real estate. And it can't go without saying, your humor just makes these videos so fun to watch! :-)
Hannah , you are doing an incredible job , London should be so thankful to have such a spokesperson, been watching you for over 2 years, Congratulations on your growth of your channel, I predict 800 k subs or more 🎉
This is fantastic as my husband and I will be staying at the Grosvenor House next month!
Love your videos, discovered you channel by accident.
I love London, the ultimate city.
Thank you for sharing
Another fun one, thanks Hannah. Love "window-shopping" all the real estate adverts (as a former New Yorker, those prices don't shock me at all). Also like seeing the menus posted to compare offerings and costs. Your several "throw-away" comments throughout the video cracked me up -- great job. Enjoy your lighter load these next few weeks. Cheers!
My only connection with the Grosvenors,who owns most of Mayfair, is that Hugh Grosvenor's new wife Olivia Henson (the Duke & Duchess of Westminster) used to work for Belazu, a bouji food producer, and after the wedding, which Prince William attended in Chester, their country pile, I found a jar of Belazu pickled lemons in my pantry! Consider my only brush with bouji! 🤣😂😅🍋🍋 I imagine many who live in Mayfair are there as a second, third or fourth home. The rich Arab women leaving the hotels are the usual clientele in that area, look at the cars. Enjoyed the tour! 🫶
you can buy their product in Sainsburys , I didnt know they re *posh*:D little pickles humous etc. all good
@@user-oy5fu5tj2p Ooh cheers! Yes, I gather Belazu is very Artisan and a Green aware company.
Your vlogs always brighten people's days up I enjoy every time you make a new one 😀
Beautiful architecture - like you, I really appreciate it. Thanks for a lovely walk Hannah!!
My first trip to London was for the 2012 Olympics. It was incredible.
Hannah, thanks for the walk. You're wearing a beautiful blouse, you look great!
Yes, Americans, especially this one from Minnesota, like a lot of ice in our iced coffee beverages!
As an American I can confirm that a LOT of ice in your drinks is DEFINITELY a thing! Love your videos, thank you for sharing London with us ❤
Lovely Hannah showing fabulous Mayfair on a sunny day.❤☀️🇬🇧
How lovely London looked today! Yes, the location certainly is posh, but the puffy clouds and sunshine adds so much more to the ambiance! Thank you Hannah for taking us along! Cheers, 💕🇺🇸
I used to work at 7 North Audley street, the building you’re commenting on at 7:20, Hannah. That building, the street, and Grosvenor Square are all much changed. In some ways for the better, but in many ways less so. I am quite happy with Mercato Mayfair…that’s a brilliant repurposing of St. Mark’s Church.
I enjoyed sitting back with a coffee and seeing another side to London. Beautiful architecture. Thanks again!! 😊☺️✨
I touchdown next week and am staying in Mayfair. I can’t wait. My 1st time in London!!!
Beautiful architecture!! Love it.
The G-Wagon is a very smart 4X4. Although even one of those would fade into the background, when surrounded by the cars in that area of London.
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe there are tax benefits to purchasing a G Wagon and making it a vehicle for "commercial usage" due to it's weight. This would explain why they're so popular with the rich and why there is 2 year waiting list to get one.
Another fantastic vlog walk! I agree with you about Mayfair. Great area to wonder around for a few hours but also more than a little stuffy. Really the Central London sweet spot neighborhood is Marylebone, and especially their High Street. If we could live or stay anywhere in London it would be there.
I hope you can revisit there again soon!
Was born in Baker Street corner of Blandford Street after the war,one of the few houses saved and restored thanks to my mother getting it saved as a historical building,therefore the entire block was rescued from destruction ! Us kids went to St. Vincents primary school and St James Spanish Place Church. Chiltern Street and Marylebone High Street our neighbourhood shops.Good to see so much of that Portman Estate preserved. Thankyou Hanna,find myself lol. West One Girl 🇬🇧🇬🇧
My son and I are in London right now and have been since last Thursday. Did Windsor and Buckingham Palace and it was brutally hot today!
VIDEO REQUEST: Magnolia Parks/Daisy Haties are very popular book series, you should go around London touring/reviewing or some sort of interaction with the locations mentioned in the books and maybe while your there mention the scenes attached to the location for the people who haven’t read the books although they are very popular and as a refresher to connect better with the locations :) thx
Hi Hannah, I think Shepherd Market is probably the only part of Mayfair with any real community spirit, it’s a charming little area. The late racing driver Stirling Moss bought some land there at a bargain price many years ago, and built a house to his own futuristic specifications. With lots of electrical installations which were ahead of their time.
Hi Hannah, beautiful day and loved the tour today. Your blouse is so pretty and looks lovely on you! Have a wonderful weekend, cheers from Sunny Arizona🤗
Fantastic Vlog Hannah! Lived in London for 15 years and you always visit my regular haunts. Brings back great memories. Thanks
What a great video tour. I will never afford living there but fun to see. Thank you; a very pleasant tour with a very pleasant host.
Yes, guilty as charged us 🇺🇸 folks love our ice. The lack of ice was one of the hardest things for me to get used to when I was living in Cambridge. I had my mom ship me ice cube trays for my little frig/freeze for my flat. The only thing in my freezer were ice cube trays! LOL
Another very cool walk around Hannah..nice weather too..Always look forward to Fridays..Those two lions you showed were called Regaire and Ferdenand..from Italian heritage..They were Rulers..Got a kick out of the prices too..See you next time..bye..
The homes are over priced, but still fun to see how much their going for.
I feel like the contrast you see in buildings that are right next to each other is a good representation of London. So many posh neighbourhoods in London are literally right across the road from people struggling to make ends meet, but anyway, as always, I love the video, Hannah. Thank you for liking my last few comments and this is day 7 of commenting until we film a vlog together 🙌🏾
@YannicksChannel
The difference in buildings is mostly caused from being bombed in -WW2. Looks strange, but it definitely doesn't let you forget. Blessings!
You got this. Vlogging with Hannah?! I don’t know, could you keep up? lol best of luck 🤞🏻
The rich living cheek by jowl with the poor in London is the way it has always been. It's why the sword stick was invented.
@@tinkerbennett5682 Wow, it's very interesting how buildings can you tell so much about a city's history
@@Nimbus6000 😂Hopefully well find out but Hannah's definitely the OG at vlogging
I enjoy your vlogs and seeing London but I could never live there, even if I could afford this area. If I won the lottery I would buy a house in the countryside with no neighbours
Me too!
Absolutely, why pay that money to live in the noise, no view etc. Give me a view any day.
@@clareking4434I love noise and atmosphere. I feed off the energy. Endless entertainment. You don’t like theatre, sport, restaurants? Nothing worse than an awful gloomy climate and nothing to do. Countryside wirh grey clouds is depressing. All about the buzz , then bugger off to second home in northern ibiza!
@@JohnSmith-sm7ez I have the best of both worlds. I live a 10 minute train ride from two great cities and I’m 30 mins away from an airport.
👍👍👍
Personally, I think ‘Keep(ing) a safe distance’ is always a good idea lol. If you got to meet Bruce I would be SO jealous! Great video-always enjoy your take on everything. Thanks! ❤
It’s Friday! That can only mean one thing… Hannah has uploaded a new video!! Can’t wait (commenting before I’ve watched because I know it’ll be another quality video). Literally this is the definitive place to get your London content. Love it. Xx
This is one of my favourite vlogs from you, I enjoyed hearing about the history of the area.
Nice to see you enjoying the good weather at last.
The thing holding the outside of the building up is facade retention and is very expensive!!
Hi Hannah this is what I love you doing…architecture and history enjoyed this…would not live here…love my cottage in my village…must tell you as in previous comment my niece’s birthday had a wonderful time at Chatsworth House in Derbyshire with picnic in grounds…this was an idea I got from your Kew vlog take care ❤
American here- one thing that I had to have more of EVERYWHERE in London last year was ice in my drinks. I am the stereotype 😂.
Ditto for me. Upon asking for ice in my luke warm diet coke, the British person responded, "Oh, you Americans".
Hahaha - we Brits think we are being short changed if we get a glass full of ice, only leaving a tiny amount for the drink we ordered 😂. Plus its rarely hot enough to need more than one ice cube here.
This woman has big ideas in her head like something i seen in ireland years pure snobbery cue for ship shop fish and chips nearly twenty five pounds country getting more dafter
From TX here….its been 105 F (40.5C) here in the Panhandle this week. Tea with that “obscene” amount of ice is the only way to go!
Love all the little pots of lavender on the picnic tables in the fanzone- so 🇬🇧!!! Yes hosting the Olympics is absolutely amazing!! Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics- 🇨🇦the best!❤Hello Bridgerton!😂give me art museums, architecture restaurants and shopping over a beach holiday any day and that is why I❤London!!!
OMG when you said "...not from experience, ok, that might be from experience." about the parking ticket that cracked me up.
I enjoyed that stroll around Mayfair. Thank you
Thats a fabulous Tour of the very expensive & Bougie areas 🥰 Wow the prices of those wines, whiskey eek 😂 .
Thank you Hannah for taking us a long on this tour was a lot of Fun 😅 .
Have a lovely weekend 🥰
Hey Hannah, Happy Friday! 😊Thanks for another fantastic vlog-always a joy to watch. I really appreciate how you keep things fresh and interesting! I have to say, the housing prices are truly shocking. It’s crazy how much more expensive London is compared to cities like DC, NY, or LA. For instance, as you mentioned, a house priced at £20M is around $25.5M. Living in the States seems so much more reasonable! I’d be comfortable spending between $2.5M and $4M in a great area on a spacious house with 9 bedrooms, 7 or 8 bathrooms, and a nice yard. But $25.5M for a townhouse without any yard space? That just doesn’t seem worth it to me. You should feel at home in your house, and if you’re spending a lot of money, it should be on something truly worthwhile. Just my two cents! Hope you have a wonderful Friday night and an amazing weekend! 💐🇬🇧❤🇺🇸💐
Depends on where you are in the States. Here in South Florida, from Miami-Dade County up through Broward County/Ft. Lauderdale and then to Palm Beach County, $20M properties are not uncommon, from nice houses with beautiful yards to condos in highrises with no yards at all. The same little 3/2 houses from the 50s and 60s that cost $50K when I was growing up are frequently $2.5M and up now. I am just as likely to find myself behind a Lamborghini or a Maserati at a red light as any other make of vehicle. Soccer moms drive Lamborghini, Maserati and Porsche SUVs. Teslas are downright commonplace.
Great video Hannah !! I too love the architecture around there and it’s super to have you as “our knowledgeable, beautiful guide”. Couldn’t ask for more, LOL. Prices of homes of course always blow my mind, but surprisingly restaurant prices don’t seem too bad. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and see you soon ❤
As an American, i love iced drinks. Enjoyed the video. Lovely buildings. Much out of my budget. Thanks for sharing.😊
Must admit the Buildings around Grosvenor Square are beautiful. Love your top Hannah. Yes we could all chip in together, not a bad idea. Would have fish n chips there. Way too pricey. Nothing better than a good old fashioned british pub. No I wouldn't live there permanently. Maybe as a second home/flat. Thanks Hannah really enjoyed the walk around. Enjoy the week end.
Is everyone just so rich in LONDON!! Look at all the fancy cars driving on the road! 😱
weout here living in zone4 with dirt filled street due to romanians ..dang i envy this !!
The park has changed so much, it must be 10 years plus since i went through there and then there was nothing like they had there, no food trucks or anything.
Looking gorgeous in that top Hannah! ❤
Always love a peek at the luxe life with you, Hannah. Wonderful stroll!
I asked a couple weeks ago for you to make a video in Mayfair 🙌 thank you for making it!
Lovely area to look at - mostly - but I wouldn't live there... but who knows, if I came into a fortune, I might change my mind. Not likely. As for The Boss, I wouldn't be waiting hours on a street to catch a glimpse, but we saw him in concert many years ago. Loved it!
So much fun hanging out with Hannah, and, yes....us crazy Americans love tons of ice in most of our drinks year-round. 🤣
Hannah 🎉 as a now iconic CZcamsr, I’m good for 100.000 £ on a 5 bedroom flat 😂. If I was going to spend that kind of money, I’d move to the Cotswolds and rail to London. Great fun and yes Americans love ice ❤
I bet you could get a gorgeous place in the Cotswolds with that kind of money and a decent amount of land, too.
Another fun Friday walking with Hannah on a tour of the remarkable Grosvenor Square London and it surroundings. Your hilarious comments on the prices of town houses and rentals as well as wine and champagne made me laugh 😂. Thank you for the great video Hannah👍👍👏👏see you next Friday!
That was such a fabulous tour. I really love the buildings. Thank you for taking us along.
Absolutely stunning buildings ❤❤❤I really could live there no bother...small problem no money 😂😂😂😂😂 thanks again Hannah for another great video ❤❤❤
Thanks Hannah - I love a wee walk round the posh parts of London with you. I’m going next Sunday fr 2 nights - connected to Taylor Swift….
Probably could try the Mayfair Chippy, do a vlog! As many are reviewing it as the best in London hence the huge lines!
As someone traveling to London this summer from US, I’ve been watching your vlogs and many others to learn about the city. If you travel to SoCal, LA Or SD areas, i can give you great tips too! I do agree London 2012 Olympics had a superb Opening Ceremony.
Really love your vlogs Hannah, informative and fun. Like strolling around with a friend.
Imagine picking up one of the really expensive bottles by mistake 😂
And imagine not really liking it! 🤭
Fab vlog with gorgeous weather , Thanks for posting 🤩.
Thx for the lovely stroll! my feeling is an apt is an apt is an...a lovely home in the country,,,, mellow nature, greener, with a garden, wildlife, ...oh ya! take care, mo from ca
Brilliant vlog Hannah again you give a true insight what’s London is like and you say how it is thanks Hannah 👏🏻😘
Love these walk arounds! A real insight into places to have a wonder around some day. Not sure I’d want to live in that area although a Roger Rabbit Roller (love a bit of alliteration) might change my mind 😂Thx for the video!
no ice in the coffee at 20 degrees farenheit here in the U.S. I recall being in London in early August and could not get ice for my drink.
Love your vlog, Hannah, on Grosvenor and area. I absolutely love the old architecture, fancy cars that roar by. Personally, if I had that much money, we would move to the UK from Canada 😂 Not in London, but 30 to 40 outside of London. Not a fan of townhouses. And I prefer the sound of birdsong 😊
I love your Prada bag Hannah! Mayfair is such a stunning area!! Thank you for this wonderful vlog!!! 😍❤️
A chip shop in Mayfair with a queue😱 I didn't think the super-rich eat good old British grub
Def agree on the fish and chips. Needs to be in a chippy and out of newspaper. Do they still do that?! Money definitely doesn't buy quality. 🤣🤣
Hi Hannah! I just booked The Ivy Asia afternoon tea through their website.😃
Thankyou ,great video .Im coming back ‘ home ‘ to London early Sept ,this is on my list .Yes ,it’s an American / Canadian thing ..ICE !
Another educational and insightfully brill vlog, cheers hanna ❤
Expensive road..i suddenly pictured Hannah drifting in one of those cars pictured in the thumbnail 😁
Hannah… many thanks for the summer walkabout in Mayfair. Many memories. And the next time I’m there, I’m going into Hedonism Wine. OMG what a place!
I love your channel.
Thank you,
Peter
USA
Beautiful architecture. 😊
Loved this video. Love, love the architecture, thanks for showing it Hannah. Yes, I think I could live there if I had the requisite income !! And it was sooo sunny, wow.
Hannah, your strolls around London always remind me that London is such a beautiful city. Something we forget because we all vacation abroad so much.
That was fun,see you next Friday 😊
It is a little bit of the Place of Versailles vibe, aristos gave of spacious places in the country side to live at the center of prestige and power and where the 'action' is happening.😊
What an obscene use of money. As you say, some people have too much.
Great video, again Hannah.
I would love to live in Grosvenor Square or Mayfair. But then I think I may have read a few too many Regency Romance books. 😁😁
London is a very expensive city to even visit let alone live there. 2002 was the Golden Jubliee year lol
Yes more ice in coffee the better ❤probably 3/4 ICE and 1part coffee 😂great video as always Hannah 😊have a lovely weekend
Hannah you are the best I want to help you in every way I can
A really great video/vlog hannah .I really enjoyed it.i really chilled out watching.looks like a very posh area wow!! I really love your video/vlogs .there in London.i love seeing the sights there in London.thank you so much hannah .from Dan.m
