BIG BEN- RIVER THAMES- LONDON EYE | London Opening Back up

Join me on a walking tour of London's Southbank along to see the London Eye/ Millennium Wheel. An icon from the turn of the 2000 millennium here in London and a great tourist thing to do in the city. We then take a stroll over Westminster Bridge to see Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. (plus a significant amount of scaffolding!) Plus a stop off to see the amazing Westminster Abbey, giving me Royal Wedding feels all over again!
Thanks for watching, let me know you enjoyed it with a thumbs up 👍🏻

    Ahhh this is a nice one. you see, I'm catching up... haha. I like that walk too. Done it a few times. The Embankment at night is lovely, and if you put on London by Night, Frank Sinatra as you walk along there with all the little lights, it's quite lovely. Never done NYE in that location, and never would. did it in Trafalgar one year and they had speakers out.... only... they failed and a police said "sorry guys, it's happened already". And I never knew they installed a lift on the Tower! My goodness. I mean it's obvious, but still, you don't think of it. Like you, I have been on the Wheel a few times. But it is expensive. Kind of once done, don't need to do it again.

    Fantastic Vlog and tour around my favourite city! Have also enjoyed your Disney Vlogs, as we have started to plan a trip ourselves and your hints and tips are coming in handy. Top tip for the HofP, contact your local MP and ask for some free tickets. No need to book online and never miss out on the date you want. You can pre-book six months in advance and you will also save £22. Keep the Vlogs coming.

    The time 1060 when the church was built, which are talking about recalls my memory of French language once spoken in England. In early later half of 11th century , about 1066 , French language was being established as the official language of England under William the Conqueror . Although , at the time , Frech language had not been in official existence yet, it had become the language of Ebglish court, parliament and aristocracy
