15 biggest mistakes London tourists ALWAYS make 🤦🏽‍♀️

- Welcome to London.

I'm gonna tell you about the biggest mistakes

I always see tourists make when they come to the city,

so that you know about them

and you don't make them yourself.

By the way, I'm Jess.

I run Love and London,

and we help tourists who visit London like they live here.

And if it's your first time coming to the city,

I have a special freebie for you,

so make sure you watch to the end of the video to get it.

By far, the biggest mistake I hear from London tourists

is that they didn't realise how big that London is.

London is actually the biggest city in Western Europe,

and for comparison we have nine million people here,

and the second biggest city is Berlin

with just 3.4 million.

And even Paris only has two.

So you can fit a bunch of Parises into London.

That just goes to show how massive that this city is.

So when you're here, be prepared to hop on public transport,

whether it's the riverboat, the Tube, the bus, anything,

so you can make sure you're exploring

as much of London as possible,

which leads us to the next mistake.

Not going beyond the very touristy areas.

I see a lot of tourists coming for a few days

and not going beyond a few blocks

where the major tourist attractions are.

And listen, do the tourist attractions, that's fine.

But if you only do that, you are missing out on

a whole entire London that us Londoners love

and that I definitely think you should experience.

So if you wanna get out of Central London,

I've got a bunch of amazing video guides

that will tell you some great things to do,

a little bit more on the outskirts of the city.

And I will link those videos

in the description box of this video.
