don't know I'm not sure if it would
be for me to be honest with you and that's what you get they look amazing
it's a really cute building to come and see is London the greatest city in the world I
don't know I'm a little bit biased but I think it's definitely in the top maybe the top five
do you agree but again I'm going to be showing you a little bit of London in this countdown to
Spring this is the first episode guys or maybe the second if you count last week's video If you
haven't seen
last week's go and check it out but yes I am down on the river thames and I'm going to
take you on one of my favorite little walks so if you had 60 Minutes in London for a walk this is
probably where I'd suggest you go now it is not quite spring maybe is when you're watching this
but it's getting warmer and 2024 for me the first month didn't count but the rest of the year I'm
going to be let's put the sunnies on being out and about getting our steps in and trying to adopt
some healthy habit
s at least 90% of the time but make sure you are subscribed because we have some
exciting things two videos week from this week from next week and I'm going to be showing you
bits of London museums galleries out and about what else restaurants afternoon teas shopping
to hunt for the best Easter egg so stay tuned I haven't been down here in absolutely ages but
I always think it is a nice place even when it's raining and there's often a Christmas Market here
so if you're coming later in the y
ear do check it out but this area I think is pretty epic the
architecture is stunning this glass ceiling is so cool and this art piece here it's from I
think it says 1987 look at this boat it's very oh what's the word punk steam I know that's not
but it's it's giving that and look there's like these little like Duck things sailing the boat
there's a few pennies in there but not many but yeah I think this is a really cool uh piece
of art and during the weekends there are more Market stores b
ut there kind of like indoor
outdoor that's the thing cuz you're in the UK you are covered over it's very cute in here
and it's good they got I can smell waffles and many pancakes and Cher Roos here guys yum I mean
it's almost spring maybe the Alpine Lodge is just staying they're probably making so much money
but yeah a good start and we are Stones throat from London Bridge Tube Station and there's lots
of little shops on the way all the way around oh German sausage and Toasties yum sadly c
heesecake
and crumble is closed but as I pan over you get quite the Epic shot of the city wow oh these
tiles are cute views of the London Bridge at night oh from the 15th century but it looks very
very different now and yes this is the city I used to work this way I actually hated working in the
city but the white building there I'm going to point eek is the walkie-talkie building and
up the top there eek I do have a vlog on it oh I will try and Link it below there is a free
observation to
wer so if you're looking for a free thing to do in London check it out and I've just
noticed over here that is a balloon exhibition we might go there but when I looked it was like
38 quid per person which I think is a bit steep but let's have a look over to our right we have
HMS Belfast which is a museum which you can go in I went when I was a kid maybe we should add
that to the list but peeking at the side there we do have the Tower of London and also Tower
Bridge we are here we are on the
south side of the river and uh we're going to get a little bit
of a view of the Tower Bridge not London Bridge guys that is further down and very unexciting
you will be disappointed and we have Fergie to thank for that cuz she did her music video under
tower bridge and now everyone in the world seems to think that bridge is tower bridge but it
ain't and also you can visit tower bridge and walk across the top I think it's about 11 12 quid
now I do have a video on that as well so we're going
to head along the river through South bank
and then eventually get to Westminster and I so happy because it is a beautiful mild day and very
quickly if you're new to my channel I'm Hannah I live in London and I like to do tourist bits I
like to go shopping all the time I like to show you food places and generally a bit of Lifestyle
in London so if that is your cup of tea do stick around o a very low helicopter I doesn't really
come out on camera but yes there's the reveal guys that's Londo
n Bridge it's not very exciting
is it it's actually really ugly I always get so many comments from people being like Oh Hannah we
went to London and yeah London Bridge sucks and I'm like okay it it does suck a little bit but
it's definitely very just looks like a load of rock really to bit of concrete Tower Bridge is
definitely the one but as you've seen there is a walkway along all of the south side and most of
the north side of the river temp so if you want to get your steps in like we ar
e today you can do so
and there's quite a few pubs along the way as well and they're quite cute yeah it's a bit ugly isn't
it right let's head on there are beautiful things to see and above London Bridge station pretty
much is The Shard that is a really good visit would definitely recommend that makes my legs go
weird even looking up right let's not get run over don't cross the roads how I cross them by the way
in my videos yeah don't do that and there's one of the Uber boats by Thame's Cli
pper it cost a few
quid I can't remember how much it is but it's a nice way to see the city I prefer to do it on foot
but we're going to Loop ground here cuz here is where Borough market is and we're going to walk
all the way down here maybe we'll get some food all the sun is shining but let's head on down to
Borough market we have time it's an hour's walk but I'm going to add a few little stops on it's
half turn try and see if we can get some food but I love all like the old little signs l
ook at that
so cool you can can tell it is tourist times and the holidays there is so much food here guys you
will find something whatever fussy eaters you're with whether you're vegan or you want dairy
free there are cakes for days Bakery goods for days meats and all sorts we're going to head
through just quickly to the main section I mean I will do an entire new video in spring for like
the updates and everything happening in Borough market because it is Elite and it's amazing it's
alway
s good to come with other people cuz then you can try lots of things you got to have your
patient pants on sometimes um but the food is incredible I say this every time anyone recognize
this Bridget Jones's flat she had a good flat but the market would literally drive me mad I'm going
to attempt to pick somewhere oh gosh the queues are huge and also it's a midweek day they have
fresh counters so if you want to come and get some meat some veggies some fruit awesome food to go
and as we go ac
ross the famous chocolate covered strawberries 850 Jesus that's a lot of money but
there was a bit of a debate cuz I think they got closed down a while ago because it was classed as
not a proper store uh I don't know how they got away with it maybe they added some more fresh
drinks I'm not sure yeah there was some issue that it wasn't like a proper I don't know store
that was eligible to be in here and it was a bit gimmicky but it's a popular one 850 though lime
me now I did say at the begi
nning this video I'm trying to be a little bit healthier especially
when I'm at home um I've been trying to cook my own meals if you watch my videos where I go to
different uh food stores you know I'm a little bit guilty of buying a lot of prepared food but
quick word from today's sponsor you know that I don't really enjoy cooking if you watch my videos
but 2024 I've been making a conscious effort to cook quite a lot of my meals from scratch and that
is where hello fresh has come into the m
ix they do all the work for me I can't really be bothered to
go to the supermarket after a day the office and it's delivered to my doorstep in the box ready
to go I am shocked guys at how many meal ideas they have now like protein high low carb there's
even like air fryer friendly and a fancy gastro range if you want to spend a few more pounds
and get something a little bit special I am a little bit weird about meat and ingredients
especially when it's delivered everything has been absolute
ly gorgeous in such high quality
super impressed also the portions have been really generous cost wise using hello fresh
has also been better value for me buying all the individual items from the supermarket I was
actually finding ended up being quite expensive I wasn't using the full container or full packet
of whatever it might be so if you want to give it a go I feel like it's the right time of year to
kind of start this again use my code rickets for 60% off your first box and then 20% o
ff the next 2
months plus an extra little gift when you do order so you can always pause it it's very flexible so
check it out out in the link below back to the Vlog but back here in Borough market I'm allowed
to buy something that is freshly cooked by someone else I think as I am out and about I'm going to
get some tacos from this little booth and it's going to be basically £10 for three tacos it's
kind of standard well they just called order 132 and I'm 568 so I think we've got a while th
ey
have desserts oh the black pig I think I've been there before a little seating area oh my gosh it
is busy today Japanese there's basically every type of food that you can think of but I would
say 6 to 10 is about standard this is where I went it was only 5 minutes so I got a pork a beef
and a chicken it looks amazing really good I'd say about 8 and a half out of 10 watching the
world go by let's head on humble crumble this is busy morning noon and night how much are they
there you go 65
0 or a large for 8 and that's what you get they look amazing and obviously so many
different types of fillings and toppings oh there you go there's the end of the queue for humble
crumble yeah we are above the train station it gives very Harry Potter audio I think the noises
right I like the sounds of the trains as it goes past but yes a lot of people later on the day we
walk around wines and beers and gin and tonics so it's a very good social place to go but I
could do literally an entire
video and I have on borough market right how do I get back to the
river down here as expected there's always lots of cool architecture by the river where you can
see guess the old Industries and where all the boats used to come in with goods and stuff but if
markets aren't your thing there are tons and tons of restaurants along here and like I said pubs as
well weather permitting something of these outdoor places a pretty good place to enjoy a bit of sun
and yes this is a very touristy thin
g to do but I actually love coming down here okay the water
is not giving tropical holiday but you know we we didn't expect that and across the way St Paul's
Cathedral looking epic in the Sun so with the drilling in the background we just enjoyed a bit
of borough Market we're going to scoot on along here to see Shakespeare's globe obviously it is a
a replica rebuild and the famous Millennium Bridge and with that beautiful view as I pan around
honestly this walk is such a good one you've got
the famous Globe Theater obviously not the
original it burnt down in like 1700s but yes it was rebuilt I think it was 1997 I've never seen
anything here have you seen a show I don't know I'm not sure if it would be for me to be honest
with you I will confess I stayed up too late last night watching car crash compilations on YouTube
I'd like to think I'm a cultured person but I think person person but I think Shakespeare is
my limit it's a really cute building to come and see I was got fair
y lights down it I think you
can do a tour as well but let's head on it's I can't believe I busy it is this is amazing as
one of those crazy fast tour boat things goes past this is the wonderful Millennium Bridge
it did wiggle for a while but they fixed it and as I weave through the crowds I say it's
good it's busy because if you ever watch my lockdown videos which I think I've taken off now
it was dead and I hated it but what I'm trying to show here with the sun in the background is look
at the difference in the architecture you've got the tape modern Gallery it's flipping awful let's
be honest and then you've got some very very old buildings oh gosh I don't know what time these
would have been from but it's I just love seeing the contrast of the architecture and then yeah
you do have the entrance to the guided tours and some cobbled streets definitely where trainers
no one cared what you look like when you're on holiday I always have my trainers on this is a
walking City a
nd I do want to do these videos to show you you don't have to spend an arm and a
leg to enjoy London you can you can like I said we're going for afternoon tea which costs an arm
and a leg but I like showing you freebie things too and then another 50 yards and we are
outside the tate modern which honestly was probably the number one place that I used
to go on a freebie afternoon out when I was a student which was many many many years ago
let's quickly pop in here I don't know if I'm allowed
to film in here but there are paid
exhibitions as well coming up I'm going to tell you I'm going to take you to the history
museum that is the number one visited place apparently and the British museum so let me
know where want to see in London there are 10 floors but don't worry I'm going to show
you literally like half of it I really like the building in here I think it's really cool but
yeah you can come in and have a bit of a mooch if it's raining a breast break from the rain and
see s
ome free art I always love the scale of everything in here it's absolutely Mammoth right
this has reminded me I need to add bin liners to my Tesco delivery doesn't it look like a bin
liner a right let's not fall down the stairs goodness are we being trolled like come on
anyway always a weird video I'm telling you always and the building on the left there is part of the
tate modern and it was a bit of a hoo har because these people here in this modern building they
built it and everyone on t
he viewing platform can see into their lounges it's quite the Scandal
also if you have made it this far in the video whatever this video is please do give it a thumbs
up I'd really appreciate it the YouTube algorithm is brutal these days and because I didn't Vlog
for probably nearly 2 months I think people who even subscribe to me don't get to see my videos
anymore so I would appreciate it oh look at the sun there are a number of outside pubs to eat
here and they're reasonably cheap cuz the
y're just normal pubs and you do get a little bit of a
nice view I think DHL boat what the heck I quite like black fries I like the red paint on it and
yes the architecture along the other side of the river is changing we're going kind of old school
now and there's a bit of a tourist boat there it is rammed sounds like a party you could hear it
the tunes are on but yes oh the sun's gone in come on and then you do have so many buildings
that are from like the 60s through to the 80s which I d
on't really don't like God I love that
mix I love anything that's a bit red brick and yeah lots and lots of boats out today again a
little map we started off around here and we have mooch all the way around here in and out
shake it all about and we are here by the Oxo Tower Wharf I didn't know it was called that to
be honest with you and we're going to carry on around the Queen's walk on the South Bank see if
there's any markets I'm not sure if the markets are at today but I love the red br
ick you can
live here there is a rooftop restaurant which I actually don't I don't recommend sorry um but
there a few little shops in here I can't believe how many people have been down by the river
rather them than me it's a bit Manky isn't it goodness what is that actual sand down there
that's wild ew oh my God why I don't know maybe it's me being a Londoner oh God I wouldn't touch
that if you paid me guess what another place to eat they've got drinks to go and there looks
like there's q
uite a lot of shops and little restaurants and food bits down there we have
the National Theater which yes is brutalist architecture are you a fan and by the bar for the
BFI you've got this little book Market which I think is always here I feel like that's very on
brand for this video but as expected there's no prices on any of the books but they've got not
of art you're really into cats there's a whole section on cats these are priced but yeah you'll
often find this type of thing in a Lond
on Market maybe we'll go to portobello at some point is an
Elvis LP £25 I like the lighting is struggling now but that is a nice POA color this is quite
a famous skate park but the only thing is you literally have an audience so you kind of got
to make sure you can I don't want to film him just in case he doesn't make it he made it
people love watching skateboarding and just passing the ice cream band if you're wondering
a Mr whippy with a flake is £450 I also think that there's about 450 p
ret a mangers as we go
up but this is the South Bank Centre there's a restaurant and I think there's like a rooftop
bar in there as well so if that's your thing and you may have been down here during Christmas
and there's usually a Christmas Market on which obviously is not here now it's an okay one but
I just like being by the river and then we get to Central I wouldn't usually come down here but
I'm going to carry on walking over cuz you can see that shadow the very famous Elizabeth Tower
otherwise known as Big Ben and the London Eye which is probably a little bit backlit in that I
was saying the other day it was only meant to be there for a few years it's near 24 years old
and always try to pre-book these things cuz it gets very busy God I think the queue does go
quite quickly I hope it does for everyone's sake and I do have tickets or a ticket cuz that's
all I could get for a very special tour coming soonish maybe a couple of months so subscribe
it was like getting Taylo
r Swift tickets but yeah I'm not going to tell you exactly
but it's pretty exciting I'm going to say it again guys do not buy anything from
this ice cream van this is the one that's just up the top of the stairs on the bridge
they charge you a fortune it's even been on the news that that one will charge you like
50 Quid for like two ice creams they get all the tourists and they still haven't been
removed anyway what a beautiful shot down towards vool I feel like even the lamp shades
are qu
ite nice around here but bougie with the gold and we're about to witness the scammers
again pretending to do a little bit of a show they all pretend that they don't know each other
well they pickpocket you so be freaking careful people that's a better view isn't it oh look
another peir westmin pier where you can pick up some of the boats I had my sunglasses on in
all of this video haven't I but honestly when I do that trying to stop my wrinkles guys but yes
that completes technically it's a
n hour walk and that's what I think you could do for free you
don't have to buy tacos halfway through like I did but a really nice free thing to do in
London out and about this little bit here though is a bit so don't judge London on that
kind of 100 yards it is a bit mental and watch out for Pick Pockets yes I hope you enjoyed that
video um if you want to see more in London make sure you do subscribe cuz I've got a lot coming
and the next video will be on Tuesday at 6 p.m. guys so there'll
be two videos every week which
I'm excited about I will do that for as long as possible until I'm pretty tired and I can't
cope alongside my day job but make sure also you check out the link and use my discount code
rickets for a hello fresh discount give it a go I know you guys already know hello fresh but yeah
I think what I'm going to do is probably do three meals a week and then still try to like learn to
cook from scratch um on those other nights and maybe one night out and a pizza he
re and there but
thanks for watching guys come and say hi over on Instagram and I will see you in a few days time
bye I am under here it's just it's really sunny

It wouldn’t be Friday without the lovely Hannah on YouTube, carrying us on a wave to the weekend 😊
May I just say. So wonderful to have you back Hannah 😊
Forgot it was a Friday a nice surprise. My favourite YouTuber always, funny, always different, never boring or fake and definitely the most beautiful lady on YouTube. Have a great weekend Hannah. ❤🎉🌎⛄🎅🤶🎄☮️🌈❣️✌️
Only HANNAH can make a 1 hour walkabout seem like 21 minutes!!---Time flies when you are having FUN!!❤
I adore London. I'm from Canada (Toronto area) and have visited London twice - once in 2013 and again last year. My maternal grandparents are from England (Birmingham) and I truly feel like I was meant to be born in England. Love watching your videos and reminiscing about the sites I have seen/places I have visited.
Hearing the phrase "It ain't" in a British accent is everything.😊
I hadn't been to London for decades. My husband surprised me with a birthday trip there in 2022. I think he secretly also wanted to be in a country where English was spoken! Language major in college, so taken him to German, French, and Nordic- speaking countries. We fell in love with London! Now our favorite city ❤ Love your tours. You are wonderful.
Hahaha ... You made me LOL with your bin liners comment! Because that is EXACTLY what i was thinking! 🤣
That sculpture is totally Steampunk! Now, if I had a few million dollars and could choose between New York City and London? LONDON all the way!!!! So happy you're back, Hannah, and thank you for all the effort you make to show us your wonderful, fabulous, to-die-for city!
Memories I used to run down that path every Sunday morning when I lived in London , it is beautiful
So Happy to see You Back Hannah, the Most Beautiful Smile, Looking Forward to Your Future Adventures ❤
Thank you for all the places in London I have never visited and never likely to now as I am quite old. Look forward to 6pm on Fridays. Thank you.
I live in Switzerland, near Geneva. I'm English. Lived in Singapore, Hong Kong, Geneva and Paris, Always love to come home to London, it is the best city in the world. No matter how many time I visit, I always love coming home and spending time in the best capital city in the world. I may have repeated myself. but the truth never gets boring.
Was in your fair city 50 years ago & loved it! Doubt I'll ever return so thanks for this great tour...felt like I was right there with you! Donna in US
Happy Friday, Hannah! Another wonderful vlog. You asked if London was the greatest city in the world…as an American who has visited, I’d be very tempted to say yes. The ancient and modern next to each other, things to see and do, and it’s a great city to walk through. Samuel Johnson said “…No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.” And well done you for cooking more at home! Thank you for a very enjoyable walk through London this very rainy and chilly afternoon here (Atlanta, Georgia area). Hope you have a fantastic weekend!
As a Canadian I love London for the history, interesting shops and fun things to do and see and love your take on London - keep em coming, Hannah
The comments here really show lots of Love for Hannah that is for sure. I too share that love she is just like the perfect warm lovely friend you go have a tea with. Looking forward to having her 2x a week 😁
Dear Hannah, thanks again for this beautiful vlog!!! You are the best! 🙂💐🌹🌻🌺🏵
Aah! Friday morning coffee with Hannah! Lovely! I actually did part of this walk last October with my son. (Tower Bridge to London Bridge Tube Station) It was surprisingly busy then too. I.M.O some of the best views of the City. Thanks for taking us with you, Hannah. 🥰
Great tour around London. Interesting fact about London Bridge. The previous London Bridge built in the 1830's was relocated brick by brick to Lake Havasu City, Arizona in 1968 and then reassembled when the City of London sold it to an American real estate developer to build the new one. It spans the Bridgewater Channel Canal and is a National Historic (international?) Landmark. Kind of random but very cool.
