Our Gear:
We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.

We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.
amzn.to/2WbTNFH
We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.
amzn.to/35AWqUs
Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.

"British are very organized"
Say that to my room -
NOTE TO AMERICANS: Whenever you pronounce words like 'Buckingham' and 'Nottingham'. If you want to sound less like a tourist, you don't pronounce 'ham' like the food. You would pronounce 'Buckingham', (bucking-um).

Full-time Londoner here - this is pretty accurate. Tbh I do wonder how many tourists come here and are actually a bit disappointed at how un-English London is, in the sense that they came here for a more English experience. London is really its own country. And it's great if you actually live here, because you can pretty much travel the world without having to leave the city.

Top Mistake tourist's make when visiting the UK, they spend most of their time in London. If you want to experience the UK then get out of London, public transport is quick and easy as you could travel to different cities within a few hours. And you would still save alot of money by doing this compared to staying in London. Spend a few days in different counties like the Midlands that have Leicester, Derby, Nottingham, Chesterfield, Matlock and the Peak District. Yorkshire for Sheffield, Leeds, York, Bridlington, Scarborough, Whitby, North Yorkshire Moors. Cornwall for St Ives, Penzance, Land's End. Scotland for Edinburgh, Glasgow etc. The whole of the UK is open to you in the same time it would take to look around London. And you would save alot more money.

To anyone thinking about visiting England (and I am a proud Englishman), do not just visit London as it does not reflect "England". Go to places like Oxford, York, The Lake District, Yorkshire, Cornwall, Devon, Bath and of course Suffolk (my home county). It pains me to say, Wales is also stunning, so make sure you visit this gem of a country.

England is very different outside of London, just like America is very different outside of New York City and the biggest city.
-
3:56 Yep, you saw that correctly. 1667. But note! Not "built in 1667", but rebuilt in 1667. Eat your heart out, America!
-
Just to let you know Walter, pubs are often open later at the weekend - till 1am
-
7:50 Our police have an arrangement with our criminals regarding guns: the police are not routinely armed so the criminals do not routinely carry arms either. The arrangement works well and we British like it that way.
-
i bet some americans are also shocked not everyone speaks in queens tongue, chews crumpets and carries extra tea bags
-
funny the different perspectives. Im from England I found the 'cops' with rifles a bit intimidating when I visited New York over the summer. Great videos though man!
-
this guy seems to be such a nice person (-:
-
I love police in England, you can literally just go talk to them
-
Lol, did anybody else see the pub that says "Rebuilt in 1667"? that pub was Rebuilt 99 years before America was even a country. And that pub was rebuilt after the great fire of London in 1666 and so it was first built more than 100 years before America was even a country. And it still stands today.
-
Stay away from anyone who says "oi wat u lookin at fam?" they're known as roadmen
-
I was shocked at how few public restrooms there are.
-
I like the in depth view of cities you give. Keep up the hard work! Subscribed!
-
I'm a briton and a bit of advice, if you need to ask directions ask the street cleaners with the orange hi vis vests on, because the police have an important job and they do get a bit irritated
-
Pubs don't close at 11 at weekends.

London is great but its a tourist trap. Visit places cities like Chester, Liverpool, Manchester were you will get a more British experience. Places like Shropshire, oxfordshire and more. most tourist don't even leave London. Great video mark
