Ibn Insha said Let's go to China I obeyed his advice and went so far that I reached London Not that station London, from where you are buying socks and Jackets This is Real London, the London of Princess Diana Historical Lords and Oval Cricket Ground London Whether it is Big Ben or Tower Bridge
British Parliament beautiful building or London Eye These City Attractions surprise you So, this is a request, just like you people don't take me light In the same way, you do not have to take light London city London City located in the surroundings of Brightham known as the "Museum of Human Beings"
Yes, it is such a wonder that more than 150 countries and ethnicities live here London is the only city in the world where more than 300 languages are spoken I do not lie In London, you don't just travel by air, water and roads The city has the oldest underground train network in the world Which is like a spider's web in the ground under the city If we talk about sports, London has that honour that no other city has
London has had the honour of hosting the Olympic Games three times The introduction of London is not just restricted to the Museum of Human Beings Rather, there are 170 museums in different parts of the city 11 Museums out of them are considered National Museums
Not only ancient but also modern wonders are spread in the city So, today Grip on Trip starts its travel series from England In this series, we will talk about UK's Visit Visa And will see the London city attractions Because London is called the "City of Cities" And this is my favourite city historically
That's all Right now I'm out of here and heading to the immigration Pictures of Street performers, Labourers, Police, Teachers, Bus drivers Saying you Welcome in London Look at the picture behind me He is a Police Constable saying you Welcome to the city The immigration process was easy, there was a little problem
But your brother started speaking in English, so he allowed me to go So, we are going out in the city from Terminal 3 And let's see, what is going on Here I am in the airs of London So, first, let's talk about the UK's Visit Visa
The standard fee for a UK visit visa is £ 115 pounds That is around 40,000 Pakistani rupees In Application you have to mention your travel plan You must have to mention your travel dates, names of visiting cities, hotel bookings and travel cost
If you are married, then MRC letter and if you are unmarried then FRC letter Your Bank statement showing annual income Your employer's name and address, if Visit Visa is sponsored to you then Sponsor's information and if you have a family member living in the UK, their passport number and address
Your complete Travel History, Police Certificate and NIC, All these documents are scanned and uploaded with the application At the end of the application, you get the booking date of the Visa Center There you go to perform Bio-metric and submit your passport
All these documents in the Visa application can be uploaded one day before visiting the Visa centre It is not necessary to submit all the documents immediately Application is filled on the website of the UK Government The response time for a Visit Visa is three weeks
Although you receive the e-mail of the decision letter in one week It is mandatory to have a Bank Statement in logical flow to get a Visit Visa Because all the rejections I have seen and heard these days are all on bank statements After coming out, I do not feel typical Airport vibes
It is not, too big, too crowdy with so many people There is a rush here but it is very quiet The weather here has drastically changed, the temperature is 0 degree even if there is sunlight There are so many ways to go to central London City Black cab taxis are very expensive
The longest route is by bus, it is cheaper but takes 2 or 2.5 hours Because you will experience the famous London traffic Along with that, there are two options, one is Heathrow express It will take you directly to Central London Paddington My hotel is also in Paddington
This is Terminal 2, Central Bus Station underground and short stay car park We are going towards the underground If we talk about going to Central London from Heathrow Airport, we have many options First, we will talk about Black Cab Taxi, this is quite expensive
It also depends on which time you are travelling in London But Taxi will charge you more than 100 pounds Apart from Black Tax, there are options for Uber, Bolt, Ola and pre-booked Taxi But they all are the most expensive modes of transportation in London The second option is the Heathrow Express
If your hotel is in Central London then Heathrow Express will take you to Paddington station within 20 minutes In central London, most of the hotels are located near Paddington Now we will talk about Elizabeth's line, I have to travel in it Its fare is around 13 pounds
It is free for children under 11 years of age This Line travels from Central London to East London Apart from the Elizabeth Line, we have an option for Piccadilly Line as well It also goes to Central London, and it has a minimum fare
The next option we have is by Bus which is cheaper than the Tube But it takes a lot of time because the bus will go through the busy and famous London traffic and it will take you around 1.5 to 2 hours to reach Central London.
First of all, come to London and buy an Oyster card But I have found a brother here, who is also a subscriber of Grip on Trip Had a great chat with him all the way but he doesn't want to come on camera He told me to go to Paddington station
If you buy a Heathrow Express ticket then it will cost you 25 pounds And you will reach there in 20-25 minutes The second option we have is the Elizabeth Line, which is cheaper I'm in no hurry, so I am looking for Elizabeth Line Then we go from there to Paddington Station
Let's take our luggage first and place it in the hotel Then we will move forward but this is the whole way of Elizabeth line or tube, I am going to experience it for the first time Let's check it out, Before this, I had only seen it in movies
How perfectly they communicate the whole way I am standing here, and you have to go from here to reach underground Here they have also told you how many minutes to walk If I want to move from terminal 3 then it is a 7-minute walk
And for an underground bus station, it is only 2 minutes walk from here I was recording at a terminal near the Elizabeth Line One female security guard came to me She started her sentence with "Sorry Sir" She asked me to close the camera She humbly requested that you cannot use the camera here The name of this table is "The Wild Table of Love"
It features 10 animals, which are the most dangerous species in the World Here it is written "Do not Climb" Paddington is a tourist area, here you can see Indian and Pakistani shops You can see so many Indian Pakistani restaurants and hotels here
I choose to stay here in Central London because 90% of the tourist locations are in Zone1 and Zone2, Central London or in the surroundings of Central London This is an entire lane of hotels and at the back side there is another lane of hotels Ok, there are so many hotels on this side of the road as well I am feeling like I am in Lakshmi Chowk On the right side, there are many hotels Telephone booths are still operational here This is my hotel, with 3 beds London is really very expensive
I thought the room would be very nice, but see this is the room They charge 112 pounds for this room I don't know about breakfast, I will ask them, if breakfast is complementary or not The bathroom is very spacious How does a person take a bath here, check it
I booked a very decent hotel from my side, I paid 110 pounds for this hotel But I am feeling disappointed after looking at the room The room has just basic facilities, I would have got such a room in Pakistan for 3000 PKR It is a tourist city so it is very expensive
I have taken this room for one night, later I will stay at my friend's house Meanwhile, my family will also reach here Fruits are available here I found a Mughal Indian restaurant here, but it is closed Due to some construction work
The wind is blowing very cold and every other person is holding a coffee Halal food is written in some restaurants, You have to take care of Halal/Haram here So, Halal is written here, Let's go and take a cup of Coffee from here
I have taken a small cup of Coffee Because the wind was blowing very cold Most of the taxi drivers here are women Food Delivery Uber Eat is a very famous App here Bicycles and Motorcycles are mostly driven by ladies
I often say that it is very important for development and prosperity that women should be independent first And provide her with basic rights So, see where this society has reached and the woman here is also independent My London visit is just not for the vlogging purpose Rather, I came here for family settlement
As you know I am a photographer, and I cover events, weddings and food I want to start my services here, InshaAllah So, you can also book on my page Takhleeqar Productions Maybe in the Midlands or near London, because London is quite expensive I will make my settlement somewhere in that area, InshaAllah
Because the wedding season here is in the summer Mostly in June/July While in Pakistan, the wedding season starts in winter So, we can manage these both works together Now my eyes are closing due to sleep But my excitement about visiting London dragged me onto the roads So, let's find something to eat I took a taxi from my hotel for 18 pounds The taxi service is quite expensive, I am surprised Right now, I stopped at King's Cross, I had to go to Camden to get the card I am standing here at Kings Cross station of St. Pancras
This is the first station I have seen where the Intercity, Intracity and International trains of Eurostar run I think the London to Paris train that passes through the English Channel under the sea tunnel they built here A very famous famous series is shot here.
Kings Cross station in Central London is very famous and old The construction here is, similar to old buildings in India in Pakistan. Buildings from the British period Exact that type of windows and arches On Mall Road, the building, which was built mostly by the British, has a construction structure, architectural style
Town Hall and some other buildings like the GPO building, and High Court are all built by Britishers And here I am feeling the same vibes of Old British era buildings Eurostar trains are standing in front of me They travel between London and Europe
As I told you, from this station intercity, intracity and international trains run So, I thought of exploring this station King Cross and St Pancras both are different stations But they are located near to each other, St Pancras usually deal in international trains While King Cross deal in national and international trains
My friend went to his job, and I was late, he gave me his ATM card Check, How good friends I have He messaged me, you can spend 86 pounds So, he is not a very good friend Now we will travel and roam around in London On oyster card, 6-7 pounds are charged
From King Cross, there is a distance of 1 mile to Camden market I am going to cover this distance on a walk We will explore the Camden market There are so many Halal options in Camden market, So I will eat from there Then I will take some rest
Then I will be OK, right now I am so tired You know that a person gets more tired on a flight And I did not rest even here and started wandering around Now 8 to 10 minutes distance by walk is left So, let's go to Camden market while looking at London streets
The way from King Cross to Camden market There are so many restaurants on the entire way There are countless Halal restaurants on the road I am passing through There are so many Halal food options I have completed my 8000 steps by walking on these streets London City is Amazing
You are always so excited when you come here first time Especially in a city like London Right now I am badly tired Feeling sleepy but I want to explore this city more ATM is installed on the footpath of the road
There is no way a person close the door or keep his hand on the keypad to check if there is a chip or not Anyway, Man feels these things more outside I can see the Halal board, Look at this This is Chicken I can see three Halal shops all together here
This is a restaurant "Woody Grill" I think they serve Shawarmas, and it is also Halal This is Band of Burgers, and it is also Halal Halal is written on the shop Here " Halal" is written So, let's go inside In this Halal restaurant, there are Algerian and Romanian people
But they allowed me to record video in the restaurant's kitchen They said you can sit and relax Because right now there is no rush, So let's check their menu and start recording The beef quality in the burger is very good and it has an amazing aroma
The aroma of this beef driving me crazy Check this, Double-layer cheese with a double patty There are prawns cooked in olive oil and this is a different kind of fries Fries made from sweet potato They are orange-yellow in colour This is Alvis Burger, their most famous and hot-selling Burger
The recipe for this burger was quite simple they just made a patty with beef mince, salt and black pepper The beef mince was just simple, there was no other thing added to it And What an amazing taste it has We added so many things to our beef burgers
But here people only enjoy the taste of meat And it has the taste of pure meat These are the leftovers of Burgers Now this is the time to enjoy prawns along with sweet potatoes Your brother has made the prawns disappear from inside them
Now we put this plate also along with the Burger plate I have eaten Sweet Potato fries for the first time We used to eat sweet potatoes after boiling or roasting Here sweet potatoes are in orange colour The food of Band of Burgers was amazing and very good in taste
I cancelled my plan for Shawarma Because there is no space left in my stomach Tell me your opinions about my UK series' first vlog The most important thing, this series is not just for country vlogs I am going to settle here with my family here in UK, InshaAllah
As you all know, I have a photography business Takhleeqar Productions Here the wedding season months are June, July, August, and September In these 4 months, usually, weddings happen here in the UK In Pakistan, the wedding season is usually in winter, So I will cover those months in Pakistan
This is my plan, Kindly pray for me All my Grip on Trip viewers from the UK, if you need photography services Then your brother Umar from Grip on Trip is now in the UK to serve you I will let you know my plan soon in my videos
We will shoot a few vlogs in London Then we will explore Manchester's side My friends who live there told me there is a snowfall scene If it doesn't snow there, we will move to Glasgow And if it doesn't snow there, we will go somewhere else
Anyway, we will search for snowfall, as this is a winter season Will search for snowfall in Glasgow And then we will focus on our work Give your response about this vlog, I am very much tired and feeling sleepy Will see you soon in London There are also many friends to meet
But I am here for 2-3 months, So I will meet all of them, InshaAllah And if I get some response after this video, then InshaAllah will meet them Remember me in your prayers and give your suggestions for my business setup See you people soon in the next episode, Allah Hafiz
In the next episode of Grip on Trip, I will visit Trafalgar Square And we will see the UK's famous Big Ben Tower Also will learn about underground London's Traffic science That's all
