(sultry upbeat music)
- I'm here with Ali from the
YouTube channel, Papa Teach Me
where you can learn how
to speak better English
and also hear about accents
and culture in the UK.
- That's right.
So I've lived in London
for most of my life
and I wanted to show you
some really cool places
around Soho where you can have fun,
eat, and drink really cool stuff.
So this place is amazing.
I often come here just for a cheap coffee.
Espresso's are one pound, so we dig,
have you been here?
- [Woman] No I haven't, not before you.
- You're gonna love this.
The coffee is thick, it's good, it's juicy
and it's only a pound.
And like if you're looking for a good tea,
they'll let you sniff a bunch of jars
to find the perfect tea.
And this place has been around since
like 1887.
- Seven (laughs).
(clapping)
And you can buy coffee and
tea to take home, right?
- Yeah, I'm definitely
gonna sniff a few jars,
get a really good tea,
make a good brew at home.
So if you want a really
good theater recommendation,
I definitely recommend Book of Mormon.
It's the funniest show I've ever seen,
and for like cheap tickets,
you were telling me a cool
way you can get cheap tickets?
- Yep, you can check on the app Today Tix
and sometimes for shows that
are like during the week,
they'll have cheaper last minute tickets
for the show cause otherwise
they're kind of a bit more expensive
cause it's popular show.
- Yeah.
- [Woman] Okay Ali, we're
in the Dog and Duck pub
and why do you like this place?
- This place is a really cool,
it's a cool vibe, cool atmosphere,
also really famous people from history
used to come here.
George Orwell, the author
of 1984, Animal Farm,
used to drink here.
More recently Madonna would come in here
when she was dating Guy Ritchie,
and she'd order a pint of this,
Timothy Taylor Landlord.
Cheers!
- [Woman] Cheers!
(clinking)
- This place is amazing.
So when I have my Italian students,
when they come to London,
they always complain
about our coffee, we have rubbish coffee.
Italian coffee's the best one.
Well, look no further than Bar Italia.
They have the best
coffee, also the tiramisu.
(smacking)
- Yum.
- Do you want to try some?
- Yeah, let's do it.
- Let's do it.
So, Soho Square's a really
cool place to hang out,
chill with your friends,
have something to eat,
have something to drink.
You might also be wondering
about that hut back there.
Myth is that it's a passageway
to Buckingham Palace.
It's not that sexy,
it's just where they
keep the gardening tools.
- [Woman] Yeah.
- So if you wanna see more of London
you can hop over to my channel
where we show you how to see
all of the best sites of London
in the shortest amount of time.
- Yup, you can watch that video
by clicking the box that's popping up
right below us.
(beeping)
- (mumbles) Have you been this?
- I haven't.
- Have you been this?
- Nope (laughs).
- Let's do that one again.
(beeping)
(gasping)
Oh you can't see it, it's fine, it's fine.
- No? (laughs)
- It's just I don't.
- (laughs) Blooper.
(beeping)
