Hi everyone, I really hope you enjoy this final instalment of my trip to London. If you would like to ‘buy me a coffee’ please click here www.buymeacoffee.com/nicolasfairford
My dream place.
Thank you, Nicolas Fairford. I am a full-time working Nurse and with a family of four children. I am always thrilled to listen to your videos and I just love tea as well( some me time). Thank you.
I’m American and was last in London in January 2020. I had a trip planned to go back again in May 2020 which obviously had to be cancelled. No use going if all the pubs are closed! So I’ve been living vicariously through you from your past few videos. My son was at Regents University and was sent home due to the pandemic. It broke my heart he had to leave!
Nicholas, you are such a darling soul. I enjoy your content very much. Thank you.
Totally coffee
"I never want money to be able to buy exclusivity." That was powerfully and beautifully said Nicholas. You're a rare and gracious person for even thinking it. Congratulations on the well-deserved growth of your channel! I remember watching your early videos some time ago and knowing rightaway that it was something special. As you grow beyond 100K, I hope that the personal and warm touch you bring to your channel always remains the same.
Yes, well done indeed! Nicolas is such a treasure
Thank you so much for supporting me from the beginning! X
I have watched all of Nicholas' content. His vids are like ASMR meets cottage/slow living and I love it. But sadly you are wrong when you say money doesn't buy exclusivity. I wish it wasn't so, but it is.
@@traceychalkley9946 It's true that money buys exclusivity in the world we live in - I don't think any of us can dispute that reality. That wasn't the point I was making above. What is worth praising is Nicholas' unwillingness to co-opt that mindset, at least in the context of setting up a Patreon. That is what's refreshing to see, especially in the CZcams community.
@@Era3662 Very eloquently put. Now I see the context I agree totally.
I must say, it is a lovely hotel. However, I honestly find your apartment much more beautiful. I think your furnishings are gracious and inviting, I don't find that to be true, even in such a fine hotel. I can appreciate the history, but given the choice, it would be most certainly, your beautiful home.
Well that is a great compliment! Thank you!
I agree
I also agree
Definitely so! 🙂
I must agree!
THANK YOU for caring about everyone and allowing us to see all your content, regardless of money. That was a sweet and beautiful thing to mention! Take care and thank you for your videos!
It's a pleasure! X
Four years ago my partner and I celebrated our 30th anniversary at The Goring. We could not believe our good fortune when we arrived and were upgraded to this very suite. It was beyond comfortable and so special. We’ve been back to The Goring many times since and I agree with you Nicolas, it’s our favourite hotel in the world! Thank you for the wonderful video, it brought back very happy memories.
Wow - how special! X
Oh my heaven's that must have been an amazing moment for you! I've worked in hotels and resorts and upgrading when available is the best thing for customer retention :)
Nicolas: Shows beautiful historic hotel
Me: Wants the sheep
Me too. Love the adorable sheep.
Well they are adorable x
Absolutely- it would complete my home.😁
No comment on the perfectly placed plum purple lampshades?
I can’t imagine the day of the wedding getting ready in there. It’s beautiful, thanks for sharing.
It must have been very surreal x
Fabulous! I helped design that suite with a member of the Royal family. It’s been much too long since my last visit. Thank you for reminding me of its elegance & beauty. It is very nice to see someone going through there that truly appreciates all its unique attributes.
Are u serious? 😲
It's a beautiful suite. You did a wonderful job.
😮😮😮
It is SO lovely!
Just subbed. I was extremely distressed today and I accidentally discovered your channel. I previously had zero knowledge/interest of any of this stuff so I never thought that hearing someone tell me how to make tea would soothe the soul like your video did. There’s a magic to what you do
I was brought up in Canada where afternoon tea was a must. Haha and I still enjoy it to this day, solo, or with others.
What a beautiful suite of rooms. The decor is stunning. What a treat to being able to view these rooms with you. Thank you Nicholas for another lovely visit to a place I would never get to see. The tea looks amazing too.
Love and best wishes for a beautiful weekend. 🥰
So happy you enjoyed the tour!
Love the purple lampshades. Such a beautiful suite of rooms.
I recently did my house in British Colonial Chinoiserie with 18th C. antiques and Baker pieces, very similar. Also, blue and cream with burgundy and black. The walls are silk in a cream and icy blue dripping. The baths are similar with mahogany and carerra marble. The videos are always interesting. I appreciate these videos.
What a beautiful suite. Layer upon layer of beauty and comfort. Every one should get the chance to spend even one night of their lives in a place like this. The memory of it would last a life time.
Thank you so much for sharing the exquisite surroundings of The Goring. It is one of my favourite hotels in London and your tour was so very informative and endearing. Nicholas you are a great presenter, generous with the details and personal descriptions you pick out and in providing us with the opportunity to have a glimpse into your beautiful world! I have no doubt that you are going places and will be a name to remember! I really enjoyed today’s episode - thank you so very much for making life more beautiful.
Thanks so much for your kind comments and feedback. So glad you enjoyed the tour x
You are so sweet!! 💕
So glad we have the opportunity to buy you a coffee, (or should I say, an afternoon tea 😁) you work so hard for these videos and we absolutely love to watch them! It's really amazing that you want everyone to be able to enjoy them and deserve our support!
So kind of you!
What a truly beautiful, elegant, yet very comfortable suite. I admire the detail and taste that the British Designers bring to the world. They have shown the other styles how design with honor to the past and a nod to present comforts. The gift of the Beautiful Sheep is touching.
Nicholas, you have done it again! Started my weekend off with elegance and beauty. I will be enjoying a glass of wine and strawberries now while I load the dishwasher and watch your video again! I look forward to "buying you a coffee" very soon (you are just so humble in your request). Looking forward to seeing you live on Sunday from my garden in the US. xo
This Vlog made my Friday too!!!
Hey Roberta, thank you so much for becoming my first member! I am so happy to hear that these videos bring you joy! I will do my very best to keep inspiring! Much love, Nicolas X
We stayed in a room here for our Silver Wedding anniversary. It was lovely.
What a great memory to have x
Nicolas, this was a glorious episode. Oh, maybe we can save up enough nickels to stay here even for a night when we visit, Lord willing! And, I really want to say to you thank you so much about the Patreon. I really love your idea much better. I think I always feel slighted/uncomfortable when other people have special and more content for those people, and I think it actually makes the owner of the channel a slave to it. Excellent choice and excellent wisdom!
Agree with all your comments re Patreon. Hope you manage to get to The Goring x
Thank you for sharing! I'm sure I'll never be able to afford to stay there, so it was nice to see your experience. The afternoon tea looked delicious!
I’m glad you got to experience it with me!
@ Amy H. This visit was lovely indeed and the afternoon tea was charming to. I love this elegant yellow dishes on the table. Sooo sunny & beautiful!
What a marvellous treat! Thank you so much for sharing such a unique experience. This episode was an absolute delight. With so many travel restrictions , constraints and regulations this episode whisked us away from all of those limitations to an exquisitely regal experience. Thank you once again, Nicholas.
So happy you enjoyed travelling with me!
Hello Nicolas.. this Goring experience was “top Shelf “. Your attention
to detail and filming and presentation is appreciated so much and is what makes
you a cut above others. You will get the rewards you so deserve .x
Thank you! Hoping to continually improve!
Interesting hotel, but looks a bit cluttered to me. The balance is not quite right. The place up north looked much better. Thanks for sharing.
" The balance is not quite right " . Those were my thoughts too . Too many pillows , too many objects , one can not breathe properly .
Yes I thought the same . That four poster bed ruined the look of the bedroom , the sheep was cute . Very apt at the moment too 😜
@@mariahelenatietjen5427 I agree. And I didn’t understand the purple lampshades in and otherwise tasteful room
@@frahn1702 That lampshade caught my eye as well. I am sure that it is supposed to contrast the green but don't see any other purple in the room.
@@rockshot100 Is it not the Royal Suite? Accents etc?
A wonderful and magnificent place where one feels the rich history and luxuriousness of silk patterns on the walls used on the Titanic as well. Extraordinary marble walls and Queen Victoria’s picture behind a specially made glass is truly remarkable. The Royal suite where Catherine Middleton prepared for her up and coming wedding is such a special moment in the lives of the Royal family that can be experienced by all who visit the Goring Hotel. It created an ambience and decor that is exceptional. The afternoon tea was divinely set up with delicious pastries, scones, and sandwiches and topped off with Champagne truly a perfect English Tradition. Once again, Nicholas you gave us the history, details, cultural content that leaves us dreaming and very thankful for your sharing all of it with us.
Total pleasure - thanks for watching!
Words fail me for how heart-stoppingly splendid this suite is! From the surprising yet perfect purple lampshades on the bedside table lamps to the motorized television hideaway credenzas to the oil painting of Queen Victoria inside the shower, swoooon! Your always elegant and appreciative presentation did the suite and the gorgeous tea full justice, Nicolas, thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you so much! So kind of you x
Nicolas, thank you so much for treating us to this wonderful experience! I loved how your face was so full of joy and amazement as you guided us through this wonderful suite. You are just a doll. I just love your videos. And, as an American who is obsessed with everything old world and royal, I am ever fascinated with these little tours you take us on. Thanks again!
Hello how are you doing 👋👋😀👋👋
The Goring Hotel In London: Ornate. Lush. Luxurious. All Combined Creates Comfort. ...This is the message in a few words which Nicholas Fairford conveys in this wonderful video made in The Royal Suite where Kate Middleton stayed before marrying Prince William. ...Not one of us ever dreamed we'd see this place. I personally love the loo's wall covering which is identical to the palace's throne room wall covering...how much more divine could any loo ever be?! And the other fabric wall covering in the bedroom which is identical to wall covering used on The Titanic. ...Nicolas, I, as many others, am envious of your adventure here in this beautifully decadent atmosphere. Thank you so very much for sharing. ...And the gifted Goring Sheep is delightful! And, what a lovely delicious spread you enjoyed for afternoon tea!!! ...And then there's you as a most kind and gracious host. Thank you.
Great feedback - thank you so much! X
@@NicolasFairford You serve a very delectable CZcams channel...we cannot resist! ...Keep on keeping on!
I can never get enough of afternoon tea themed videos thankyou for sharing..the hotel looks very nice.
Very gracious and generous of you to share your room at Goring Hotel.
I experienced and enjoyed Afternoon Tea during my recent Platinum Jubilee visit.
I miss London already 🇺🇸💕🇬🇧
A classy yang man. So good to see this charming manner of leaving still alive.
I love this hotel and I love that it looks like if you are staying in somebody's house instead of a hotel. I will definitely visit this hotel, when traveling to London is much more easier. I can't afford a room :) It always nice to have a great afternoon tea with beautiful and elegant surroundings and with so much history. Thank you for uploading this video , gives me so much inspiration.
It was such a treat to have a peek inside this lovely hotel, thank you!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Nicolas, think you for the lovely series of The London tour. For those of us that have never traveled overseas it’s was truly a pleasure. My best to you and much success for all your endeavors.
This was a wonderful video! The whole afternoon tea setting was just gorgeous as was the suite. Thank you for sharing!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Nicolas, we are so lucky to have you and your wonderful videos! I never thought I’d see the day when men wear their pants at their waist again, you look so handsome. The hotel is stunning. Thank you!
High-waisted is so much more flattering, I think
Thank you once again for taking us along with you! You make the World a Beautiful Place and we appreciate you for it!❤️
I will send you 3 coffees in my will and imagination ,more than 3 will harm you Nicolas ,you are marvelous host to all of us ,thanks !
Thank you so much!
So fabulous! Thank you for these visual delights. Love these moments when I can sip a cup of tea and live vicariously through you. Thank you for making the arrangements and tending to the details in order to share your adventures with your followers. Just adore your aesthetic, values and constant calm.
I am so happy to hear that! It’s always so nice to know that you enjoy what I do!
That afternoon tea looks like a dream, especially in a suite as lovely as that one.
Really beautiful video Nicolas. What a treat to see the Royal Suite. Thank you
Charming as usual ! And the details you talked about like the wall covering being the same as on the Titanic was really interesting! Thank you Nicolas for your beautiful tours of London!
When I am stressed, I search for one of your videos. Thank you for all of the work you put into these. It really shows.
You make us dream Nicholas
That’s all I want to achieve! X
Dear Nicolas, your charming channel and vlogs are the highlight of the week here on CZcams. Each episode is like visiting these places myself, even better, since you add such interesting items about the décor and history of your featured locations.
The hand painted wall covering with the chinoiserie feel is so lovely. Showering with a portrait of the queen behind glass is a little weird but fun. As a fellow maximalist, I enjoyed the many details you highlighted!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for sharing The Goring Hotel with us Nicolas. The sheep 🐑 in each bedroom made me smile. Here in Australia in the beautifully scenic Blue Mountains of New South Wales there is an exclusive resort called Lilianfels. It’s based around a grand historic family (former) home and each room has a kookaburra on the bed for guests. Very authentic Australian lol.
Sounds heavenly!
How beautiful! Thank you so much for the tour! I love the little sheep gift!
It’s so sweet isn’t it!
Loved it Nicholas, thank-you for showing us around.
A total pleasure!
As usual a superb video! Thank you for this kind of energy! We need this beauty in our life.
Hello how are you doing 👋👋☺️😀👋
I enjoyed this tour so much - especially knowing that this is where Kate Middleton spent the night before her wedding. Your graciousness and calming voice is mesmerizing! Thank you for sharing this.
My pleasure! Thank you!
Love to hear the history of the hotel and this room. So interesting. It is a beautiful place. I know it isn't everyone's taste, but I do love elegant looking wallpaper/fabric wall coverings in a room. What an interesting way to display the art in the shower. Thank you, Nicolas.
Thank you for sharing the history and beauty off this hotel. Loved the look of the delicious afternoon cream tea. 👍🥰
Dear Nicholas,
I absolutely love the way you are and your videos. You really inspire a lot of people. I really enjoy watching all your videos for all the ideas of holidays.
Hope you your great job on CZcams in 2024. 🏡☕️🥰
This is the most wholesome channel that caterers to all ages!! Love you so much

Thank you for showing us London. The suite is exquisite.
Thank you Nicolas for sharing this beautiful video of the Goring Hotel - My husband and I have stayed at the Goring a couple of times 23 years ago and till this day we have talked about all wonderful memories of this great establishment - your London Trilogy was well done - From LA - California
We absolutely adore you, Nicolas. Thank you for your commitment.
That is so kind! And I adore ALL of you!
Another wonderful video - many thanks Nicolas!
Nicolas behaves with dignity there, like he spends every other night in places like that:)) and his face is so enlightened! I will be just trembling on his place and won't be able to say a word because of the beauty and greatness around! Well done👍
That was fun and very informative.. and the decor was stunning. Thank you Nicholas!
The entire suite was gorgeous, but one of my favorite features was the sheep. 🐏. How adorable! As always, Nicolas, you are perfect in your presentation ❤️
Thank you so much Nicolas for this exciting trip into the luxury and warmth of the Goring Hotel. What better person than yourself to do us the honour. Congratulations again fof reaching the 100k mark on your channel. Well deserved. Life of live.
Hello how are you doing 👋👋👋☺️☺️
Black Adder on the loo wall, always keep a sense of humor! Perfect!
I absolutely loved this video! Thank you so much for taking us along and giving us a peak inside this amazing hotel.
How exquisitely delightful to share the suite Duchess Catherine enjoyed prior to her wedding. Nicolas, thank you for your wonderful commentary. Truly, truly a most pleasant video!!
So happy that you enjoyed it!
Oh Nicolas, what a delight your videos are. I have very much enjoyed the London series. Your enthusiasm and passion for all things beautiful, especially with this episode at the Goring Hotel. I can feel your joy as you gave the tour of your room.
Your videos are so peaceful. With my life and all the things that I do, I look forward to spending a few minutes with you on Fridays. Thank you so much for making that possible. Namaste.
It is indeed so easy to imagine the state of Catherine's nerves when she was there. A mix of excitement and I'm sure just wanting to hide under the pillows til it was over! What a lovely place it is, thank you for sharing.
Just one simple word : thank you for all these enchanted moments Nicolas
Omw. What an absolute treat. Such impeccable attention to detail. So beautifully presented Nicholas. Thank you.😊
What a lovely tour. Thank you for bringing beauty and elegance to CZcams!
Thank you for sharing this tour. I especially liked the tea and cakes. The shower with the painting was unique as well. Have a wonderful weekend Nicolas.
Magnificent hotel! Thanks for sharing Nicolas!!❤❤
STUNNING
Thank you for this incredible glimpse to such a lovely suite of rooms! What a wonderful role model you are Nicolas. I look forward to each of your posts. Thank you!
This was a Great Video! Love that you shared such a beautiful suite. What a dream come true.
I enjoy the mixed content you provide-decor, food, travel, etc. it’s perfection every time.
So glad to hear that!
Nicolas! I have been here since the beginning and learned so much from you.. your voice is so calming,, just love spending the ten minutes with you❤️thank you and congratulations on 100k!!!! You deserve it!!
Wow, thank you
Outstanding! So beautiful, thank you for showing us this beauty!
Thank you so much for the London series.
Hello how are you doing 👋👋☺️😀👋
This was lovely. Thank you. I especially loved the little museum-like touches in the writing cabinet and wardrobe. What clever ideas!
So lovely as always and the teatime was incredible !
Thanks for the very gorgeous film today❣
Thank you for the wonderful tour of the Goring Hotel and the lovely tea you had there; and all of your videos’s on London, so nice to see when Canada is still under so many restrictions.
That hotel suite is truly magnificent! I especially love all the historical moments you shared, as they add a special connection to the past and some of their special guests! Those gorgeous wall fabrics are such a luxurious touch!
I also noticed your hair had a deeper side part and looks particularly handsome on you! You look as though you belong in such a regal space! Thoroughly enjoyed your London series! Can’t wait for more beautiful content! 😍
I’m speechless. Thank you for giving us a peek into this very special world.
Many thanks for your charming vignette of a corner of the London I was never able to visit during my residence there a half century ago -- and for all your gracious-living videos. They help to assure me that I am not quite a fossil, and that gracious living and hosting, even for those of us of modest means, has not gone quite extinct 🥰 .
I’m sure Catherine (forgive me, but so much more ‘regal’ these days?) didn’t sleep a wink that night and hugged the sheep tightly. I would have!
Exactly what I was thinking! I bet she actually stayed in the second room too, much cozier.
All the emotions!
Nicolas....this was such a treat!!! (especially to those of us "across the pond" in the US) Thank you for bringing us with you to this lovely space!!
Happy you enjoyed it!
Love love love this series! U hit it out of the park!😘
Hi Nicholas, you are so modest in taking money yet so generous in giving is such wonderful gems and sharing it with us. It shows again what a gentleman you, so rare in this era. You are a joy to watch. ❤️👍👏
Such a lovely tour, you’re a delightful inspiration, dear Nicolas.
I love this series so much .Thank you !
Thank you for sharing this special experience with us!
Wonderful! Thanks, Nicolas, I enjoyed it.
Lovely, Nicholas!! Thank you for taking us along with you!!
Hello how are you doing 👋👋😀☺️☺️
Nicolas, this may be my favorite video of yours. I love the coverage of the design details of the Goring hotel suite. I always love to see a good tea spread (another favorite video of yours.)
Such a delight to the eye..beautiful hotel.
Thanks Nicolas.
