Hi Jess, as someone who lives on the outskirts of London I have found your videos spot on, the help and advice you give helps so many including me, lol. Love your channel you are the best ... Have a fab Easter weekend..
I love visiting London and Covent Garden is my favourite part. I usually go there every time I visit London and have something to eat in the Transport Museum cafe. Many, many years ago, before I came along, my mother lived in Floral Street just round the corner from the Royal Opera House.
Thanks to you my husband and I have had a wonderful time in London so far. Every night I check out your channel for ideas for the following day! You are becoming our go to tour guide. Thank you!!!!
You're very welcome India!! :)
Agree with going to Seven Dials and the Transport Museum! I enjoy your videos even though my latest trip is over. Got to start planning for the next one- maybe when the Cubs play there next spring!
This is perfect! I am going to be transiting in London in 2 weeks and planning to spend couple of hours in Covent Garden😊 Thank you👍🏻
Thirty something years ago, as an 18 year old, I got to run the streets of Covent Garden and had a blast.
I went to the Transport Museum in September and it was awesome!
These kinds of videos are awesome! very helpful and informative!
Glad to hear it, thanks so much for watching!
LOVE ur videos- short, concise and very informative 🙏🏻
Thanks Diana!
I really enjoy watching your vidoes. Can't wait to enjoy every tip and places you recommend! Keep posting! :-)
Thanks so much! I have many more tips on my Instagram, make sure you follow :) instagram.com/jess_inlondon
Great video! Thank you for the helpful information.
You're very welcome! :)
This was so helpful! So I'm going to be staying at the Seven Dials Hotel in Covent Garden when I'm in London in April. I went back and forth on whether to stay there because I could get a larger room for less money, but I heard that's just a really neat place so I went ahead and booked it. After watching this I'm so glad that I did!
Our Europe trip got cancelled this year due to the pandemic, but the silver lining is that it gave me more time to research before we try again this coming July (fingers crossed). I'm so glad that I came across your video- Covent Garden looks fantastic, with some real character to it, which is what we're hoping to soak up during our stay. Subscribing now.
Thanks for this great video! My sister booked our family's air bnb in seven dials so this will be nice to show mom all the things around the area! I am binge watching your videos in preparation for our trip in May and think it will be great.
You're very welcome Kimberly! Have fun binge watching ;)
Great video merci
Love this! My office was at 80 Strand when I worked in London so Covent Garden was convenient. A daily retreat. Never boring. Great suggestion! Wonderful video! Thanks! Cheers! 👍💗😘🇬🇧
Thanks!

You know I’ve watched a lot of your videos lately cause the brief glimpse of a possible Monmouth coffee caused me to go back and double check. You mentioned them in your video on Borough Market.
Hi Jess, your videos are awesome! Visiting London for 5 days in June then up to Whitley Bay and Newcastle for 10 days to visit my brother. I am binge watching and a new subscriber. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much Linda! :)
This place looks awesome. I will be visiting when I’m in London in September. Thanks so much. Your videos are so informative
This is a super old video so make sure you watch our much newer and better ones :)
I'm going to London in 3 days, your videos are much more helpful than every website you can find on the internet. Thanks!
Wow, thanks James! Have a great visit.

I just wanted to say that our videos are really great! :)
I'll visit London in about a month and searched around for something that is informative and apart from City Hacks London you are the best London tourist guide on CZcams! Good job, please keep it up! :)
Thanks so much :) I'm not sure how you found this video already because it's not been set to go live yet, but you got a sneak peak ;) thanks for watching!
I'm not sure either?
Thanks for the sneak peak! ^^
:)
i came to London yesterday (im staying for 2 months) and a few weeks ago i started writing down all of the informations you've made a video about and things to go visit around the town. your videos are very helpful 😊 and i absolutely love them and the guides are amazing 😍
Hi Paulina, thanks so much! :) Enjoy your time here, I hope we continue to have nice weather for you :) :)
yesterday i was there the best day in my life ❤️😍
Thank you Jess
This place looks so great! would love to visit one day!
You should!
I love your videos!
Aw, thanks Andre!!
Transport museum is so well worth it! They had a Hidden London exhibition, showing disused tube stations last I went-so cool! Coven garden is also so pretty in Christmas time!
When I was a kid I went to Jubilee Market while on a school trip, good memories
Also that row of telephone boxes are the (relatively early) K2 boxes dating from 1926 as opposed to the more common K6 boxes which came later in 1935.
You have great videos. Useful, entertaining, speak fast enough not to bore but to be understood. I am going to London (second time) next week so I am searching for this "not-so-touristic-places". Keep up the good work!
+Ana Chirila thank you so much Ana! Enjoy your second visit.
Seven Dials is my favourite place to people watch..highly recommended!
Definitely!
Have you been to courtyard in front of St Paul Church. Also the church has plenty of actor memorials? It was the setting for Pygmilion. And inside hasmemorials to Dame Edith Evans, Charlie Chaplin, Noel Coward, Gracie Fields, Stanley Holloway and Vivien Leigh
Steven Cassidy That is the most peaceful part of Covent Garden. The rest is noisy and overpriced. I lived in the area for 10 years.
Nice video
Thanks.
Oh my gosh covent garden looks so good! It makes me want to study abroad at london even more T^T
Will you be doing so soon Celine? Or just planning so far?
+Love and London Oh you replied hello!! I'm actually 18 and taking my 'A' levels in a few months, so that determines whether I'll be able to go or not 😊
Well you were nice enough to comment on the video so I always try to reply :) Oh that's great, well good luck Celine!
I have called it six dials for years... I am officially the worst Londoner! Great video Jess!
+LoseitlikeLauren HAHA best comment ever!! You've made all the work that went into this video worth it ! Lol
hello Jess, thanks so much for your very helpul vids !!! I'm french & I'm going to London in april... I saw on google maps a place called Avenue of Stars behind St Paul Church in Covent.. Do you know the place, is it worth a visit ?
Hi there! How exciting. I've never been or heard of it actually, if you're in the area, have a look!
What time should one visit covent gardens? I am thinking of visiting in the morning at around 8 am but then figured the shops would not have opened that early. What are your thoughts?
You're right, they wouldn't be open at that time :) When they open depends on the day. But you could have breakfast first!
great place for people watching......
:)
Hi Jess, do you think the markets in London are tourist traps with overpriced items or they are a great way to get a local experience. Thanks!
Hi Jen, the ones in Covent Garden are likely to be a bit more expensive than smaller, more local ones because they are hosted in one of the busiest areas of the city. Have a look and see what you think, you don't need to commit to anything of course! There are also lots of other markets to check out.
Hi Jess, would you recommend purchasing a 3 network sim card for all you eat data? I'll be coming from Australia and will be travelling to Paris and all over Italy. I read the SIM card has free Int roaming, so I assume the data can be use in those countries too.
Hi Mino! I was actually just looking at this the other day, but from the website I couldn't tell if you could get the free international roaming on PAYG, also it wasn't clear to me what the allowance was, and then I noticed that local calls/texts were expensive once you were done with your allowance. I'd see if you can call them and ask to clarify how it all works for PAYG. Otherwise, not sure if you've seen this video I've made about using your phone in Europe? czcams.com/video/WJjwEqUrrF4/video.html Sorry, I know I haven't been THAT helpful!
Hi Jess, thanks for the response. I've watched all videos which has been very handy for up coming trip in September :) I found my answer about 3's free roaming in France & Italy via this link www.three.co.uk/Discover/Phones/Feel_At_Home - keep up the good work!
Covenant Garden verse Notting Hill market on a Saturday morning in November ? It’s for 3 of my girlfriends who ha e never been to London and it might be there’re only visit. We have 2 full days.
Covent Garden :) They're quite different. Can't say. Portobello Road Market gets veryyyyy busy....
could you make a guide video about london whitout the torist atractions?
Hi Joshua, you'll need to be a bit more specific, there's lots to do and see in London :)
Do you need to have cash to buy from the market or shops? Will visa or master card do?
Always have a bit of cash but most vendors take card
How do u find the secret alleyway? X
sabah A three up two across,above the bins,btw,only Harry Potter fans get this lol
You told about 4 telephone boxes in this video. Can u Please tell me exact location?
I tell you in the video so listen again :)
Mohammad Khurram Broad Court, between Bow Street and Drury Lane.
we're you at the London museum on Tuesday?
Ah no! Did you see my doppleganger?
Does it sell fruit n veg?
Nope!
Went there two days ago. Not my kind of place.
If you could speak a little more slowly then people from other countries (foreign tourists) would be able to listen more easily and follow the subtitles. It is very fast.
You can slow down the video, just change the speed settings! :)
@@loveandlondon I didn't know you could do that. Now it's better. I need it for an English lesson and when it's so fast the students get frustrated. It's a really nice video, by the way.
