    Tom, you are bang on it. Was born in London, lived there for 30 years, moved out but I need to go in regularly for that buzz. You don't realise how really good it is until you have been to numerous other capitals. It just gets better.
  • @howcotube
    I agree with you 100%. I was born in the USA and when I take vacation we always go to the UK- London mostly and sometimes a stop in Liverpool. I find so much comfort in London and I look forward to visit as soon as I leave the country. We are taking our 10th trip to London in May since 2013. You covered just about everything that needed to be said about London, you should work for the travel bureau !!!! See in London in May !!!!
  • @iJoxy
    Tom, your positive attitude to life and London is really refreshing and inspiring 👍
  • @cmsim202
    I totally Agree. London is a unique city and there’s never ending things to do. It doesn’t matter how many times you’ve been to this city but there’s always hidden gem and there are always things to see and do. It’s an amazing city and there’s no other like the City of London.
  • @TransportGeekery
    Was great growing up in London. I rode the tube Independently from age 11. Can’t imagine many other cities in the UK where I could have that level of personal mobility. Outside London, younger people seem to be so much more reliant on mum and dad to chauffeur them around, and I’m not just talking about small towns.
  • @DavidM2002
    We've been to London many times. (We live in Vancouver). The last time was this October for 2 weeks. Unlike other trips, we didn't go anywhere else in the UK. We just moved hotels once from Fitzrovia to the Tower Bridge area. We walk all over London and have stayed in many different areas but we found Fitzrovia is our favourite. It has, by far, the best pub and restaurant choices. We loved our stay so much that we decided that we will likely continue to do this every year. I love your videos Tom and you really need do another one on places to eat.
  • @paullewis2413
    As a Londoner I know the city has many problems, tell me which very large one doesn’t have these, but overall I believe my city is the greatest in the World. London has an a, amazing way of reinventing itself. Sure some aspects were better in the past but many are better now and I guess this goes for most cities.. I love Paris, Rome,, Budapest, Sydney, Buenos Aires, Chicago, Cape Town, (used to love NYC but not anymore). however none of these can realistically compare with London for a multiple of reasons.
  • @JJ-of1ir
    This is a really great video and a reminder how much London has to offer.
  • @TripsandFeasts1
    I work as a high-end chauffeur in London & am pretty knowledgeable about what this great & wonderful city has to offer. Even though I know quite a bit, it often feels like the tip of the iceberg. There is simply so much here to do, both inside& out. Sometimes it’s almost overwhelming how much there is to do here. The choice is incredible.
  • @pol4ee
    Great video Tom, thank you! I love London to my core. There's been a general feeling that the city and the country as a whole have been going downhill. And this video was exactly what I needed, a reminder that London is indeed the best city in the world! Thank you and take care!
  • @Vickix1185
    Merry Christmas Tom! London used to scare me, memories of being crammed into a rush hour tube and holding my mum's hand for dear life so I didn't get lost as a kid were my core memories. I've visited 4 times this year and that's changed now - I love it. I love that, depending on why I'm there, the whole vibe changes. A work trip to the City, is completely different from spending a day with friends at the museums and seeing a show. As someone who lives in a city with appalling public transport, I love how easy it is to get around, and how accessible it is for me as a visually impaired person. Man, I need to go back soon!
  • @nathanielhoy96
    Visiting London and living in London are two completely different boxes of frogs. Additionally, it's worth noting that while London see's constant expansion and investment, that's money that ISN'T being spent elsewhere in the UK.
  • @TheJaydipe
    i love the vibe so much, it's fun just driving around the busy areas and just hearing the sound in the background
  • @MILITANT1
    Saturday morning with a coffee sorted 👌🏻
  • @tramcrazy
    I can agree with you here Tom, I live a couple of hours from London but whenever I visit I always find myself noticing something cool or getting excited by everything that’s there. Would love to live in London one day!
  • @welshieworldwide
    Little crime..??? 🤣🤣🤣 I work security in a 5* hotel and the amount of street crime just around this particular area is way off the scale..right on the street..day and night. Just because you don’t see it, doesn’t mean it’s not happening..!!!
