I think your video is absolutely amazing. Because you only managed to blink once in 12:38. That in itself is a hidden gem! 😂

The Churchills Arms - Kensington Sky Garden - Aldgate The Mayor of Scaredy Cat Town - Liverpool Street Leadenhall Market - Aldgate Tulip Stairs - Greenwich Greenwich Foot Tunnel - Greenwich The Vaults - Waterloo Spitalfields at Bricklane Little Venice - North London Saint Dunstan In East Kyoto Gardens

My favorite day in London was spent in Greenwich. The beauty of the Tulip Stairs took my breath away. There were some students singing Renaissance music there which added greatly to the experience! Also, you mentioned the Painted Hall, which is beyond magnificent, both as a piece of art and as a history lesson. Could have stared at that for hours. The Foot Tunnel is fun, albeit a little creepy. The view of Greenwich from the other side is striking, and was painted by Canaletto. Of course there's also the Royal Observatory, the main attraction, with the stunning views, the GMT line, and all the other wonderful exhibits. What I'd add to that to complete a great day is keep walking through the park in back of the observatory, which is lovely, until you get to the gate at the end. Across the road from this is Blackheath. It's a famous place (although I found no historical markers commemorating this) as it's where Richard ii and Wat Tyler faced off during the Peasants Rebellion over 600 years ago! Today, it's full of dog walkers and Frisbee players. Continuing into the village of Blackheath, now an upper middle class suburb of Greater London, you find some really fine map and bookstores, interesting pubs, an historic church, many beautiful homes, and a very pleasant, completely tourist free atmosphere. Taking the train back from Blackheath station gets you to London Bridge station in about 15 minutes, so it's an easy trip. As said, making a full day of Greenwich/Blackheath was my favorite day of my 10 day recent trip.

Terrific tips. Thanks.

Such a great video Joe, I live in London and while I've seen/been to a few of those mentioned there were some revelations that inspired me to find them or even revisit. And just to confirm they really are great places to go to, away from the usual places that are associated with London.

What an absolute treasure trove of hidden gems in London! This video is a must-watch for tourists and locals alike who seek to uncover the city's lesser-known treasures. While the iconic attractions certainly have their charm, exploring these secret spots adds a whole new dimension to the London experience. It's refreshing to see a local's perspective on the city's best-kept secrets - a true insider's guide to London's hidden wonders! Thank you for sharing your top 10 favorite secret attractions with us. Can't wait to embark on these off-the-beaten-path adventures! 🏰🔍🇬🇧

Very interesting history of London thanks for sharing.❤😊

Great suggestions! Can’t wait to visit and see these spots!

Been to London twice (I'm from Australia) and plan visiting again soon. Done most of the tourist traps so now ready for something different and your video has given me some great places to see. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful vlogs 💖😃💖 London is my favourite travel destination.

magnificent video Tour with Joe. I smashed the thumbs up on your video. Keep on up the solid work.

Great video on our way to London February 😀 can't wait to see these hidden gems.

Lovely! We are arriving in a week and your tips have been very helpful. Thanks Joe!

Many thanks, Joe. Great video and very informative.

Excellent video Joe!! Some very photogenic places in this list, especially the sky gardens!!

Nice view Joe ...I really want to visit once in London ♥️

Great video!

Some great suggestions here. Thanks. I'm visiting London twice this year. Once solo for 2 days and again with a friend for 3. I'm staying in Kensington for the solo trip so not far away from the Churchill Pub. Better yet, the hostel I'll be staying in is in Holland Park, so I'll literally be feet away from Kyoto Garden. The vaults looks interesting too, so will probably check that out. As for the second trip, me and my friend are drinkers who love unique puns and bars. I'm looking for some interesting pubs and bars and the Mayor of Scaredy Cat Town sounds perfect, and I'll definitely check out your other video

Very nice tol Thanks for sharing Hopefully mkarating din dyan

Thanks for these great suggestions. We're headed back to London next year and we'll definitely visit these spots. I would add the Churchill War Rooms and the Royal Observatory Greenwich, both so interesting.

Excellent. Did the tunnel with school when I was a boy in the UK. I love Brick lane and always visit it and spitafileds.

Nice video! I'm going to the Sky Garden this week :)

I live in Surrey just outside London, but I have not been to some of the places you mentioned. I should go soon and find out. Thank you. Your new subscriber here! 😍

COOL VIDEO! Now Christmas 2022, I'm coming to live in the UK for the next 7 months as my top of the Bucket List item. Resting an airbnb 2 months in Eastborne (2 months off Island in Dublin) then 3 months in London. Curtis, 56, retired U.S. Navy. I'll look for these places in your video.

Hi Joe. Thank you for this amazing video. We are arriving in London is about three weeks from Toronto. We plan on seeing St Dunstan after our visit to Skygarden (already made reservations) and the Monument. I've been to London by my husband hasn't. I just had to come back because London is so incredible. I missed Churchill Arms last time. I've done so much research I'm soooo ready to come back

Great video with alot of useful info. But after a while, I just became entranced by the fact that he didn't blink the entire video.

Like done watch done keep it up ...

Excellent content. I plan to visit London, and I've already seen the touristy spots.

The Greenwich foot tunnel is scary 😟 . I remember the first time I had to use it to go to work, early in the morning 5am. I was absolutely petrified. Lol. I imagined a scary dragon was about to chase me. It also had a scary echo Lol. I

Really interesting video, Joe. Will check a few of these hidden gems on my next video. Just one thing - you forget to mention where Kyoto Gardens is located. OK, Google, here I come....

Hint for all travelers in all cities: If you’re a tourist family with kids, then stay in tourist areas so nobody else has to deal with it 😀 If you’re a fun traveler then welcome and have a great time

Good video great suggestions. When we were there our friends took us to a restaurant/pub called Giuseppe’s Restaurante. When you are there again I highly recommend.

Thanks so much. You did a great job. Very informative and interesting. It would be great if you could add more photos to show each place. But otherwise fantastic and it really helped us as we're going to visit soon.

I thought the Monument was pretty quiet, yet an amazing place to visit.

Liked and subscribed first time watched your awesome video which just popped up today, I am from US, never been to London yet except airport transit. Would you suggest some best parks in London. Cheers 👍

Been to London twice and going again in July 2024. Never heard of most of these places but putting them on the list. Going with another couple who don't necessarily need to do the tourist traps so this is a great list. Thanks for making the video.

Some amazing places, I would love to see them all. I will be in London at the end of april for a day trip. I will try to keep them in mind and try to combine a few of them. Can't do all of them within 8 hours though. Sky garden has already been on my list but as far as I know you need a ticket to get up there, even if it is for free.

Super News Video

Am visiting London in 2 weeks time. Am not interested in the touristy areas. LOVED your video. Like to tell you which ones I visited when I return. A HUGE thanks from Belgium 🙏🌻

Your Stat can see you are performer! You fixed my mood i was low today! I like your theme of page. You've worked hard on this you deserved it! Pressed red box and liked! I do think we have one 2 thing in common. You'll see.

Blimey, well done... next time I'm in the smoke I'll check out that sky garden... btw tell your viewers not to be ripped off in the pubs, etc near tourist attractions... just walk away a bit and ask a local. I used to work in the City (Square mile) and got stung once... there's plenty of reasonable places if you're in the know x

Random tips.Cleopatras needle,gladiator arena underneath guildhall art gallery,parakeet feeding at Hyde park,most of James bonds cars at London film museum,jack ripper museum as it's about the only museum showing a poor person's home as opposed to ornate, brooklands to sit on a Concorde and which had the world's first racetrack for racing cars,inside tower bridge,the redone area of captain bligh"s tomb at the garden museum,its difficult to describe it's beauty,the royal mews,free glassblowing studio near shard,Aspley house is a must,Holland park costume Murals,Up Westminster cathedral(not abbey)free barbican conservatory to avoid eating up a day at Kew,trinity buoy wharf with London's only lighthouse,the maze that is HMS Belfast,touch the Olympic rings at the park,and finally walk. along any bit of the Thames shore and find yourself some Tudor or roman etc pottery,it's everywhere but do research what bits to look for on mudlarking Thames videos! Ssh though many of these places are not that well known..

You're fantastic! Calm, very nice, beautiful manner and accent...Thank you! Love all the places you mentioned! Love from Italy😍♥🖤💯

I attempted to use the Greenwich tunnel once when I missed the boat. The creepy never ending spiral stairs on the way down freaked me out and I had to get out ASAP. Its was silent and isolated and I had no idea what would meet me when I got to the bottom. Never again!

I walked under this tunnel to the other side of the Thames, but it wasn’t that creepy as I did in on the weekend of the Tall Ships Festival (year 2014 I think) so there were other people down there. But I can imagine what it would be like if it were deserted

Hi Mauricio :), here from Germany I am always traveling alone and flying to London over New Years 28th December to 2nd January 2023 and would be very happy if I can meet people who know their way around London and have a good time together Has.

Great video but i wanted to ask you what do you mean with the number above your hat ,which number? 3:50

Can you please recommend how to find that Jack The Ripper Tour in Spitalfields and Brick Lane? Thanks. Very valuable video.

It's not really hidden, but I love Camden Market. It is almost impossible to find a wider variety, of amazing food, all in one location, anywhere else on the planet. Plus the people there are so interesting.

Thanks for the suggestions! I’ll be in London with my bestie in December, I definitely want to visit the hidden bar! Is there anything you recommend a couple days before Christmas? TIA 😊👍

Nice options, Joe. While I definitely recommend Sky Garden, I'd avoid the restaurant... the food is unremarkable as is the service.
