It's odd how after 18 years of living in London this is the first photo I've ever

taken in front of Buckingham Palace. Funny how we take these tourist hotspots for granted

when we actually live in that place. To a tourist this red phone box is fascinating.

For me, I'm concerned if they still actually work, if I ever lost my phone. To the tourist,

Elizabeth is a queen, a ruler of lands and the star of a Netflix Original. But to me,

she's just my friendly old lady neighbour. Since starting this travel channel, I have

mostly ignored my own home town, not because it wasn't great, but because it was just

normal for me. So about a year ago I thought it would be a good idea to do a travel vlog

about my own city. But not as a local, as a tourist. How, would my wife and I holiday

in our own backyard. So over months of filming various days out, I have created this travel

vlog which will masquerade as being shot over 5 consecutive days in order to show people

what I think is the best of London, to act as a suggested guide for future visitors and

perhaps a different view of a place I've grown to love. This isn't just about hitting

the famous landmarks, and it isn't just about visiting places no one's heard of,

either. It's a splash of both and what I personally would recommend. If you're new

to the channel, we aim to make travel movies where the location is king, hoping you might

just find your next holiday inspiration. This is Suitcase Monkey being a local tourist in

So let's zoom out a second and take a look at what we have in store for us. Over the

week, we will mostly focus on specific areas each day to cover as much as possible in as

little time. To begin, we started in this area which broadly speaking covers the City

of London. Under its original name Londinium, 2000 years ago, it was here where the the

city's first Roman settlers inhabited so what better place for us to start.

The Tower of London is one of London's oldest buildings, with the White Tower in the middle

What I love about the Tower is how it sticks out like a

sore thumb when compared to its surroundings but also seems to feel right at home at the

I'd really recommend waiting for a Yeoman tour which is included in the price of admission.

Lasting around an hour, they vividly paint stories of the Towers past

I've seen a few different tours over the years, and

they have always been of a high standard, with a sharp, dry British wit, not dissimilar

to the humble narrator that you're enjoying right now.

Along with pretty much everything else I am about to discuss in the video, I will put

all important links in the description below, along with our social media so you can follow

us live while we do whatever London throws our way next. Please do come along and  say Hello

Somewhere that isn't as well known is St Katharines Docks. Literally hidden across

the road from the Tower of London, this little gem is great for a tea or coffee, a lunch,

a beer and occasionally a mini festival. Again, I'll link below, but they have sporadic

dates where they will host really cool international food festivals. But outside of those busy

dates, it's a really quaint, quiet, closed off harbour where you can watch people with

Next, we headed into the heart of the City of London, known as The Square Mile. It might

seem odd to suggest the financial district as a place to visit but especially on weekends

when the streets are empty of the usual business, there is some great architecture and history

OK, so if you're in the area and have a spare 30 minutes then The Monument is worth

a cheeky look in. It's only £4.50, there is never a wait and it gives you a nice simple

view of the City. But you do have to be fit enough to tackle the 311 steps it takes to

The great fire of London in 1666 left 13,000 houses burnt to the ground and The Monument

was erected as part of the effort to rebuild the city.

Along with the Tower, St Pauls Cathedral is one of my favourite historical buildings in

London. During the second World War Blitz, it somehow miraculously missed all London

bombings and stood as a beacon of hope. A short walk from The Monument, it's an impressive

sight. If you want to get an elevated perspective beforehand, I'd recommend going up to the

roof terrace within the One New Change building. There is a free observation deck as well as

a trendy bar if you want to take your time before visiting the impressive Cathedral.

Whilst The Monument is great for a quick stop, and without a booking, The Sky Garden is my

favourite free viewing space in London but usually requires a reservation.

Nicknamed the Walkie Talkie, I'd always recommend going just before sunset so you get the daylight

(LIGHT MUSIC CONTINUES, BUILDS WITH STRINGS)

If they've run out of free observation tickets, then I'd suggest

booking a table at the Sky Garden's Darwin Brasserie instead. The food here isn't cheap

but is good enough with an even better view, making it a great way to end your day. For

lots more restaurant suggestions, I'd check out our assortment of best London dining videos

we've already made, which I'll link to above and below.

London is best discovered on foot and I think there is no better way to relax into the city

than with a long walk along the South side of the River Thames. We started at Borough

Market, with the aim to fuel ourselves up for the rest of the afternoon.

Being London's oldest food market, its 1000 years of experience means you will be test

tasting, smelling and eating some of the best local and international flavours around. This

is an energetic, bustling space open Monday to Saturday with Wednesday to Saturday having

the most traders. Whether you're here for breakfast, brunch or lunch, you are guaranteed

to find something you'll enjoy and hunting for that goodness is often half the fun.

Walking along the Thames going from Borough Market to the London Eye can take anything

from an hour to a whole afternoon. Representing the bottom part of an official walking route

known as the Jubilee Walkway, it was opened by the Queen during her Silver Jubilee celebrations.

Along the way are dozens of pit stops that may or may not grab your attention but the

scrolling north side view of the Thames are worth the walk alone.

This whole area of Westminster has been the home of government and royalty for centuries.

Westminster Abbey being the initial seed, it was established in 960AD and has been the
