LONDON VLOG: Exploring the City, Markets, & Hidden Gems

Hey Taylor, what time is it? Oh gosh. I don't know. I wish I had a clock Let's talk I don't think it's gonna take me too long clothes bathing suit Not forget my passport this time I forgot it last time I was trying to go into Canada this past summer I got it somehow some way they let me they were really nice Canadians All right, but I don't think I can fly across international waters without it. So let's see. What's a fun one. Yeah This is probably my coolest one. It's not actually a passport stamp. It's a stamp from Antarctica You can go into like this like a research space and you can stamp it. So I thought that was pretty cool That's probably my coolest one here Egypt. That's a cool one to Japan immigration inspector. I like this Sticker my student visa for Spain Anyways pretentious You know, every time I come to JFK Airport, I'm always like how did they name a president after an airport that's kind of crazy I Shouldn't be holding this with so much pride. Look I'm not proud of it, but I needed some caffeine We're just gonna call this one a scratch Let's just pretend I didn't get the first coffee I saw and the tube about to get on one of these double-decker red buses and I'm pretty excited about it some early reflections Here navigating public transportation and a place that you're not used to is always a little intimidating and it's a muscle It's one. I haven't flexed in a while, but I do quite enjoy it once you get the hang of it It's so pretty Lauren again gorgeous darling It's a lot in a way with milk English breakfast tea Slay look at that goose. Look at that goose Okay, so Lauren literally just said I can't see anything and I'm like, wait, why do you have bad vision I just don't know that Yes The pretty Okay, now that I've been here for a day Marla bone on High Street, it's just absolutely stunning This is exactly the vibe. I was hoping for it I love to come somewhere and feel like a local and have my coffee shops and I've already done some exploring today We're gonna go to Portobello Road, which I have been to before in the past, but I haven't been to London I was here last in 2019. I want to say Tree last weekend of summer Okay, here we are at the Notting Hill So pretty oh Hey Here we are in Portobello Road in London United Kingdom Double fisting currently and I must say these these colorful houses are they're quite pretty and Lauren let me hurt scarf Just more wears color in her wardrobe, which I like so I could bash Oh Yeah, also Lauren with the coolest cargo pants, oh yeah. Oh, yeah Lauren is trying to be classic British candy. Can you explain the Percy pig? And you're getting party Percy, okay, and we're in M&S which is their department store Yeah, Lauren said I have to start with this before I can get to the challenge Because it ruins it. Oh, it's a pig I Mean business right now this this is probably the best thing I've ever had Anyway, I'm gonna bring you back some and you're gonna you're gonna like it I'm not pissing you tonight I want to watch that. Anyways, double-decker. Yeah, we are the pub Before I am There's like a handprint behind you Not what I was thinking I had a authentic Logger from Camden. Yeah, you did it which was good or not a Guinness. Yeah, I did Dirty dog, okay And I are trying this coffee shop called 31 below Oh So we're going to have a Sunday roast It's a surprise Name a more London shop and what that just was You can't you can't don't even try maybe here. There's pub. There we go. That made it even more We're getting closer to our destination for dinner so so how is what is almost like the main place to go? It's like the going out place You know We're feasting and Lauren has been trying to meet first to pour the gravy all over everything that's about half, right? Yes, and then the bread pudding to the bread sauce. Normally I put on the side. Oh, she's a little thicker Oh, yeah, she is. Wow Lauren and I are now going to I ---- you not a dessert place called utter licious You Forget that all the buildings here are you know, at least a billion years old You just don't get that in the US. It's kind of crazy. Wow. It's absolutely stunning out. We got some Partial clouds today, but anyway, Lauren went on a run this morning. And so I'm just out and about getting my coffee We're going to one that I haven't tried yet on Marlboro and High Street. This is just the most charming Street ever. I love it This is what I'm going into there's always people in there I assume it's Scandinavian based off of some of the signage they got so I'm excited Wow Absolutely stunning weather. I just took so many pictures Anyway, something I think about that Street like Marlboro and High Street is that it has a Lulu lemon It hasn't all birds, but somehow it still doesn't feel like a really touristy Street It's like very tastefully done, even though it has some of those, you know, typical shops that you see in the very gentrified areas I don't know. I'm doing something right? Here we go If I check on more and she looks amazing as always Hey Taylor, what time is it? Oh gosh, I don't know. I wish I had a clock Needless to say Lauren and I are in Westminster today It's a wee bit windy, but uh, pretty cool. I see it We're here in Camden and we're gonna go to Camden Market where there's a ton of food options apparently But how cool it kind of looks like Portobello Road, but kind of different just colorful, you know Lauren maybe we should get some you actually look good at those. You're basically already For showing this to me, I love it Yeah, I haven't even eaten yet. I said I just love the vibe. All right, I'm getting this because It just seems like the authentic thing to do Yeah, can I do a little bit about What's your reaction to beef Yorkshire pudding, so it's a Sunday roast in a burrito form and a Yorkshire pudding I'm extra happy because Lord, I just wanted to the shopping area I got this scarf because I'm so obsessed with Lauren's that you've already seen in a bunch of this footage So I got this and a couple other things Lauren also got some fun stuff. We did Yeah, she got stuff Camden Market if you come to London highly recommend Another part of Camden Market it goes on way further than I thought next is Dutch pancake And Lauren and I are sharing ten of the little Dutch pancake All right, nice vlogging skills Taylor really showed what it looked like and how I enjoyed it as well Lauren and I are back out Outfit change a little bit Oh pretty anyway, we're going back out now for dinner at You'll see but it's supposed to be awesome Lauren said it's sick Anyway, come along with us. Shall you? Quick pit stop back at M&S to get stock up on candy even though we're on our way to dinner because by the time we come back from dinner M&S is always closed and I'm like Because I wanted more of these which is probably the best thing I've ever had. I'm bringing some home to friends as well Sue me Do you want a little a quick look at what I got? Very quickly, okay raspberry and milk flavored foam sweets Percy pig the piglets These are small mini birds red and black gums because I just love gummies Percy pig the originals to cookie dough bites This one is milk chocolate with honeycomb.

It is so cool. Yeah, it's not religious like we said, but uh, you know What this isn't like fame enthusiasm for the video either. I actually think this is so sick Okay, and now we're on the upstairs terrace where there's even more of a seating. It's so cool But it's not like overcrowded. How is it not? Another day Another sunny day. Anyway, this is one of things I got yesterday It's a bunch of old Carhartt jackets up cycled and then patched together, which I think it's pretty cool I Are back together once again We've kind of been doing a couple of our mornings where I go get my coffee and Lauren does a run or a workout I'm waiting till I'm back in New York Now we're going to a place that Laura says apparently is all over social media as like a what would you call it a hot spot? Yes in London. I didn't know that you will immediately recognize the bathroom. Oh, really? Can't wait to see anyway, so we're going there. You'll see it in about three two one London's hottest tea place Chair of hair This place is I think supposed to like trigger your senses. Oh, that's why it's so weird Oh indeed, and it is so we got here ten minutes early and he just said take a look around There are crystal toilets that are only available before 11.
