The buildings themselves are works of art. I love the architecture of London. Can't wait to go back for an extended visit to enjoy the museums.

They do have some great architects, and the will to implement their visions. Many countries / cities have forgotten about the importance of inner-city architecture and just build any old rubbish dog-box cookie-cutter buildings sadly.

My Museum Studies degree isnt worth much at the moment but I can say with authority that this is an excellent range of London museums 😄

I am heading to London soon and this was honestly the best travel guide video I have seen so far! So beautifully cinematic and informative. I love how you included things to do nearby and gave an aerial view of the neighborhoods. I feel more confident for this trip and feel like I really have a lay of the land

Always love your videos, composition, and content!

Woo hoo, love your videos Suitcase Monkey! Thank you for showing off the best museums in London. The V&A is my absolute favourite.

British Museum is my favorite one👌

One of the best travel vlog channel, keep posting man.

Near Tate Britain: just across the river is the Garden Museum in an old church. On a good day, go up the church tower for a really good view. Also, in the City, the Guildhall Art Gallery and Roman Amphitheatre.

Absolutely lovely! Please share more of London!

This is a lovely, fun filled video. Its great to plan what to do next on our visit to London, which is always good to visit.

I'm excited for more London content! I originally found this channel because of your 5 day guide and I was planning a trip to London. Pandemic obviously cancelled that, but I'm still learning and discovering more for when I actually can travel there. I can't wait!

GORGEOUS video as always! Was looking forward to seeing this one because we love London’s museums 💖💖

I really love your videos and especially your sense of humour. I also live in London and it’s wonderful seeing it from someone else’s eyes. Please keep your much appreciated videos coming.

All your London videos are awesome! Beautiful videography and very eye catching visuals! I am binge watching all of them 😊

It was so enjoyable 🌱🖤

Thank you for the beautiful images related to the museums, it really gives a better on idea of what museum I would want to check the most!

thank you for sharing your experience!

Just arrived in London for a few days and this video is perfect to help me plan some more as I watch this streamed to my hotel TV. Cheers!

Love it! It's really helpful Thank you so much :)

I will visit London next year and this video is an important information for me. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

Fantastic roundup of the best London museums! Your recommendations are spot-on. Can't wait to explore these cultural gems and follow up with the post-museum adventures. Thanks for the great insights! 🇬🇧

I'd really like to see that street food markets video!. I've also loved this one, so well edited and full of useful information. Keep the good work going please 👏👏👏 and congrats on the channel! (I've been binge watching most of the videos and now I miss London more than ever lol)

Excellent explanation and wonderful video. Thank you so much!

As a Pakistani I must say London is one of my favorites places ❤

I just discovered your channel & I love your content💗. I'm super excited to be traveling next month to the UK and to check out some of those sites you made mentioned in your Vlog. I appreciate the way you present the information and how it is truly from the eyes of a native son🇬🇧. With 💜 from Michigan, 🇺🇸

I love your videos! They let me travel from home (in America) and plan my ultimate vacation! I look forward to seeing your London food market video!

Thank you for the tips and tricks in this vlog, very useful...we are planning to visit London in 2023 straight from the Australian Outback, so this is a good starting point in our research phase. All the best 👍🏼

Hello Suitcase Monkey Awesome video will be great for those planning a visit to London. I would add one more museum, the Imperial War Museum to a must see. In the future when they are done their refurbishment the Coultard art gallery at Somerset house. Looking forward to the next one. Take Chris and Sandra if Canada.

This video was lovely and informative. Thank you for the recommendation of the painting app!

Amazing!!! Thank you for the video! I´m new in London and this makes my life really easy to visit Museums!!

This was a wonderful guide to London's museums. I want to travel to the UK next year and have enjoyed all of the UK travel focused videos.

Awesome content 👍 Thank you for sharing 💗

Very informative & good video ! It's good to watch your video when travel overseas is not possible.

The V & A is my favourite, and you did a lovely job capturing it! Yes

Excellent list. I’d also add the Museum of London, which is a really thorough look at the city’s history.

Hi, the composition of wide angle shots for the entrance, etc are beautiful & thoughtful! The narration is quite deep, informative, yet easy to catch for intermediate non native speaker of English who wants to know UK & the world & improve the English at the same time. The most important thing in most of your channel, you have quite an awesome English dialect that gives advantage for improving Pronunciation & Listening. Plus, how you tell the stories of places are systematic, easy for my brain to catch & grasp about the places.

thank you, it's a nice overview and the combination with cafe tips is great.

Another exceedingly wonderful video! I’ve always skipped the Cutty Sark but I’ll go in now. Your choice of shots and your framing is very well done - thank you.

I am heading to London later this month. This was very helpful. Thank you for making this video!

Your videos are brilliant! Thank you!

Eating breakfast and watching your videos is a great combo, well done as always

Thx for sharing the trip🙏🏻

Just returned from our week in London. Agree with everything in this vid. British Museum, Natural History, Tate Modern - awesome and free. Cutty Sark - fee, but well worth it. National Maritime - good and free. Royal Observatory - fee and rather small, but interesting for those science-minded.

5:42 this really good joke holds an important message that it's the viewer's engagement that ultimately validates an artwork as "art"

great suggestions, I am so excited to cover all the museums :D

Thank you for this video! I'm going to London this June (2022) and this is really helping me plan ahead, especially getting to know where everything is at ahead of time. I'm thinking of going to the british museum, natural history museum, natural gallery, and tate modern!

I am binging your videos for an upcoming trip in April. Thank you so much for your content. It is better than all the guide books. Love from Michigan.

Thank you! Because of this, I’ve added Greenwich to my list for the next trip.

I'm going to London and this was really helpful, thanks

Love this video. I've only been to London once, but for my next visit I'll use the info given here. Thanks!

I’m glad you mentioned that part about the “British” Museum, it’s a great museum and one of my favourites but that aspect of it puts me off of visiting it now.

Great video structure! I love how you provide background of places and ways of getting around . Very helpful for my 2023 spring visit.

For a smaller, more intimate experience, my favorite is Sir John Soane's Museum, a short walk from the British Museum. The personal collection is fascinating, and the architecture is wonderful.

Thank you for this video! If ever I’m in London again I can narrow down which museums to visit.

I’ve been to London many times and visited most of your recommendations however you gave some good ideas for our next visit this summer. First will be Somerset House which I’ve not seen and a return to my favorite, Victoria and Albert Museum.

A great selection of museums. I have been to a few over my several trips to London, with the Natural history museum being my favourite listed. I also love Windsor castle, which although outside London, was an easy train trip/day out. The Military museum was also fantastic, although I mainly went for a paid exhibition on the 1950s.

What a great video, thank you!

I'm coming to London in may , good video. Thanks

Thank you for this video, it comes in very handy as I'm planning a trip to London with my teenage daughter for Nov 2023. So many great places to see.

Great episode, London very well known as home of museums , I like natural history museum it's one of my favourite. Thank you

It's also worth noting that Tate Britain houses the largest collection of paintings by JMW Turner (one of my favourite painters) and I plan on visiting there in 5 weeks time when I'll be in London! I'll also make sure to visit the Battersea Power Station (made famous by Pink Floyd) which is just a short walk away from Tate Britain, so it's perfect really as both buildings are within close proximity to eachother.

Your narration is always spot on! Suggesting places nearby the museums was really helpful ,I'm planning to visit London in August 2022 but I'm looking forward to visit England every year so I hope to see more England in general related content in the future.Just subbed X

Its really informative and covers all of those museums that I had vaguely heard about without understanding which ones I wanted to check out.

Much appreciated by someone who just relocated to London from the US this year - still taking my time exploring the city's offerings. Great insights and can I say your narration is soothing as hell to listen too. Would certainly like to see a London markets video and, of course, any additional London food vids. :)

Hey thanks. Not sure if you know but I’ve done a bunch of London dining videos already. Check out my London playlist.

Amazing video!

I had the great pleasure to live in London in the mid 80's during my semester abroad program from Guilford College, Greensboro, NC in the US. It was the best time of my life. We lived in the Hyde Park West Hotel off Nottinghill Gate. I was there for 6 months. My favorite gallery was the Tate. I am eager to return and visit all that I saw with the addition of the Tate Modern. What a wonderland of history, beauty and delight.

This was great! Helps us narrow down (or confirm) which museums we're going to visit when we visit London. Love your videos!! I was very excited to see a new one after so long. 😊👍
