    What a fun time collaborating with you! London and New York are both amazing cities, the kings of their respective continents :)
  • Fun fact, you can travel from the center of Manhattan to the center of London without going outside? Here's how. 1. Take the E, J, or Z train to Sutpin Blvd/Archer Avenue 2. Go up two levels and take the AirTrain to JFK Terminal 4 3. Take Virgin Atlantic to London Heathrow 4. At London Heathrow, transfer to the London Underground 5. Take the London Underground to the center of London You have arrived in London without stepping a single foot outside. While it may not feel like being in the same city, I believe it adds a certain kind of connection between New York and London you may not get with other cities

    I much prefer London. In regards to food. In the US food is full of chemicals that are outright banned here in Europe. So I'd put London ahead on food. Cool video. ✌️
  • @zupermaus9276
    London's biggest attractions are free - British Museum, Natural History Museum, National Gallery, Tate Modern, V&A, Science Museum, Sky Garden etc. This includes the world's two largest arts and antiquities museums, largest natural history collection, largest modern art gallery.
  • @mrzooropa93
    Hey! Londoner here and I have to say that I love both cities. I've been to NYC several times that I feel like it's become a second home to me. This collab just made my day. Thanks for this.
  • Most important factor is where does your journey starts from... I'm from Canada it's incredibly cheaper to go to New York but it's so much more exciting to go to London!
  • @toddgreen4217
    I have been to both and I love love love London! It feels cleaner and less congested. Also, as others have mentioned, the big attractions are free! Oh and the Tube is quieter, easier to navigate, and feels much safer then the New York City subway.
  • London restaurants are way cheaper than New York restaurants. Point should have gone to London on this one! There are bagels and pizza by the slice in London too! And if you want iconic cheap eats that real Londoners eat go get a meal deal at M&S and get a coronation chicken sandwich for £3.50 or go to Greg’s for a £1 sausage roll. And we also have a Chinatown where you can get cheap buns from a Chinese bakery. You let him have that one! Haha
  • @bani_niba
    It depends more on the exchange rate than anything else. Currently, the USD is relatively strong, so that make everything in London cheaper.
  • Just came back from London yesterday and Jess was a big part of our travelling plans. Have to say also that John was my main source for NYC last year. So a huge thank you for both of you for two years of great vacations! Your respective work is greatly appreciated! ❤
  • @m-cw7er
    I’m going to London in June to see my Phillies play the Mets. Thank you for the awesome videos.
  • @gigteevee6118
    This is an incredible comparison video! Thank you, as a Londoner who loves New York equally it’s essential ❤ New York is more expensive as a tourist for sure, living in London makes things a little easier on the pocket though.
  • @Tom-ou9qb
    NYC subway might technically be "cheaper" but the London Underground encourages shorter trips which I think makes for a more efficient, better system. That's just my opinion tho. Also, it's not really that confusing once you get into it. NYC subway system is a lot more complicated in my opinion.
  • @iloveflorida4520
    Two of my most favorite cities! Just got back from Europe and spent 4 days in London. We try to go to NY once a year! Love them both! Great video!
  • For museums, better to compare London and Washington, DC. Both are national capitals, and the Smithsonian museums are free as are the big museums in London.
  • @eatsmylife_
    aaaaaa the collaboration i didn't know i needed 😍 two of my favorite creators from two of my favorite cities 😍
  • @richherberts7173
    Love this video! Jon and Jess are two of my favorite content creators and to see the collaboration was a blast. I started following Jon several years ago on my first trip to NYC and found Jess' channel this spring prior to our first trip to London four weeks ago. Very informative and accurate. Great job!
  • @KimberTravels99
    Legit the 2 main vlogs I used to plan my trip to NY last summer and our trip to London this summer. I love both of you and your "go to the locals spots" recommendations. Thanks so much!
  • @prdgy112
    Thanks for this Jess and John. Londoner that hasn't been to New York yet so found this really useful.
  • @johnoleary148
    Quality video Jon. City of my birth v one of my favourite cities and one I visit a lot. Just love the variety of content. Such well balanced views to. Nice Collab.
