Things NOT To Do in London

Hey guys, today we're taking a look at good 'ole Londinian. Let us hop straight on board and take you through some London underground etiquette...

1 Don't look people in the eye
2 Don't try to start a conversation
3 Don't smile at them
4 Don't ask for directions
5 Don't take photos of people
6 Don't ask for them to take photos of you.
7 Don't have loud phone conversations
8 Don't have your music loud enough so that everyone can hear it.
9 Don't eat smelly foods
10 Don't wear your backpack while on the tube
11 Don't put it on a spare seat

and as for the escalators...
12 Don't stand on the left side of the escalators!
But if you do use the left, make haste. There's nothing worse than being late and getting stuck behind some slow walking slowcoach, who thinks they're conforming to the rule but are actually walking too slowly!

13. DON’T buy individual transport tickets
Get an Oyster Card instead.
An Oyster is a plastic smartcard which can hold pay as you go credit, Travelcards and Bus & Tram Passes.

14 Don't take the central line during rush hour
Unless you like taking part in a life-sized representation of a hot smelly human sardine can, find another rout.

15 Walk instead!
Chances are that the next 2 or 3 closest tube stations are within easy walking distance.

16, Don't drive
Unless you want to pay an £11.50 congestion charge or like trundling along in first gear, you're better of walking, bus-ing or taking the tube.

17 Don't call it Big Ben
It's the Elizabeth Tower, Big Ben is the name of the bell

I suppose you'd want to visit Tower bridge too...

18 Don't confuse London Bridge with Tower Bridge!
London Bridge, Tower Bridge, London Bridge, Tower Bridge, London Bridge... Tower Bridge. London Bridge is the less fancy one.

What city would you like to know what not to do in next, comment below and we'll make it so!

Our visit London travel guide covers some of the top attractions including the best in arts, entertainment, museums, nightlife and restaurants in London. We also cover off-the-beaten-path activities that you won't find in your typical tourism brochure or London city guide.

50 Things to do in London Travel Guide | Top Attractions London City Guide Transcript:

So Hello from London! Time for a new destination. This is a city that I haven't visited in almost 4 years. So we're both very excited to be in London. And we're going to be making a little video guide. Actually a really big video guide because we plan on showing you 50 different things to do around London.

Our first stop was Trafalgar Square. This square leads to a lot of central attractions, so it's a nice place to people watch, get your bearings, and plan out where you want to go in the city.

The London Eye is a giant Ferris wheel on the South Bank of the Thames. It offers a bird's eye view of the city.

Buckingham Palace has served as the official London residence for Britain's sovereigns since 1837. The State Rooms at Buckingham Palace are open to visitors every year.

The Palace of Westminster, also known as the Houses of Parliament, is the meeting place of the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The Palace along with Big Ben are two of the top London attractions that dot the city-scape.

The Tower of London sits on the north bank of the River Thames.

And that's a wrap for London! Like with any mega city, it's impossible to cover all the sights and attractions you can enjoy here, but hopefully this video will give you an idea of what London has to offer.

This is part of our Travel in England series showcasing English culture, English foods, English cuisine and English people.

12 Things Not To Do In Edinburgh

What are the don'ts of visiting Edinburgh, Scotland? Visit Edinburgh, a city that is a treasure trove of history and culture and is well worth the trip. The fact that it is so unique, though, also means that there are many chances for you to make a fool of yourself while going about it.
When traveling to Edinburgh, following are some of the most typical errors that tourists make. But don’t worry! The worst thing that may happen to you as a result of making any of these blunders is catching a cold and perhaps getting some funny stares from the locals. However, being well-prepared will not only make your trip to the Scottish capital more pleasurable but can also save you a little bit of money and clear up some of the misunderstanding you may encounter there.
1. Putting in an order for a single malt whiskey served over ice
Or even worse, with a Coca-Cola
It is easy to see why Scots are so proud of their whiskey. A complicated beverage that is as refined as any French wine has been crafted by using generations' worth of experience and years' worth of maturing. If you ask for your single malt to be served on the rocks, a knowledgeable bartender will highly recommend that you drink it neat first (the way it was intended to be served), and if required, add a few drops of water to your glass. Those with less discernment will put the ice in the glass, but they will be evaluating you while they do so. If you spoil the flavor of a perfectly nice dram by adding Coke to it, the grading will be that much more rigorous.
2. You shouldn't just drink whiskey all the time.
During your time in Edinburgh, you should definitely have a few drams of the water of life, but save the distillery tours for when you're in the Highlands and Islands. It's possible that this picture contains Table Chairs for Restaurants Cafes and Dining Tables Furniture Chairs Wooden Chamber and the Interior.
Gin is big in Edinburgh: It is reported that the city has the highest per capita consumption of gin in the whole United Kingdom. You may take a tour of the Edinburgh Gin distillery, and then go to the Heads & Tales pub for a drink afterward. Similarly, in the Summerhall arts theatre's Dick's Bar, you can have Pickering's Gin, which is produced in the building next door, straight from the tap. The 56 North gin stockpile is the most extensive in all of Scotland, including more than 170 individual bottles.
3. Ignoring the raincoat
Even during the warmest months of the year, the weather in Scotland is famously unpredictable. It's been stated that whether the sky is clear or overcast, you shouldn't put too much stock in either one since you never know what the weather may bring. Even if you want to travel to Edinburgh in the middle of the summer, you should still bring a decent raincoat that is waterproof with you. Otherwise, you run the risk of being soaked. It is not worth your time to make an effort to control the situation using an umbrella since it will not hold up for long in the often-strong gusts.
