I know. These days on Travel with Kate, it’s been all London, London, London. Well, that’s because I have formed a mild obsession about the place. And in this video, I indulge my fantasy of moving there by asking a group of American women living in London about their experiences moving to the city. Take a look and tell me what you think.…
In the British capital, I got in touch with Sarah Bennetto, a popular comedian and radio DJ. Like I do with all the locals I connect with in my videos, I asked her to show me a slice of her city that most visitors probably don’t know about. Initially, we were going to go to her favorite coffee shops in East London. But then we got to talking and realized that wasn’t nearly as exciting as showcasing her growing list of great spots to make-out around town. It wasn’t easy to narrow down her selections. After all, London is a very romantic city. But I think we did a good job. Watch the video and tell me what you think?…
In London, I met up with James Dowdeswell, a British comedian who actually grew up in a pub! The plan was to sample a few brews at his favorite neighborhood boozers in East London but our pub crawl got interrupted! And I’m glad it did. Watch to find out why. And check out James’ very funny stand-up comedy in this video below!

I’m in London right now. And as I walk through the streets I can’t help but to mimic the accents I hear. But the honest truth is that I’m not so good at it! In an attempt to get a London accent right, I took a lesson from a dialect coach. Watch the video. Follow along. And try to get it too!! Here’s the script in case it will help: Excuse Me. Can I ask you something? I’m looking for a great restaurant nearby. Something inexpensive but delicious. A real local find. In this video, I feature another conversation I had with Sarah where she explains how there isn’t just one English accent but rather quite a few — LIKE…
Vayable.com local guide, Kathryn, revealed some of her favorite London things to do. From vintage shopping, touring the street art scene to finding repose in a hipster cafe I got to see a real local’s perspective of the city. For a tour with Kathryn visit her page on Vayable.com.…
I took a Vayable.com guide for a spin. And what I got was an evening full of great food and a really fun local experience. My guide, Matthew, is not a professional tour guide. By trade, he is a journalist. And he often writes for Lonely Planet and Time Out as a food critic. So you can imagine, he is quite knowledgeable about the London foodie scene. I’ll let the video speak for itself. But I will say, I loved knowing I was, most likely, the only non-Londoner there. See my post about Vayable.com here.…
