About

Love and London is the Youtube channel for people who want to visit London like they live here (and we've got tips for Londoners too!) If you plan to visit London and want to avoid the overdone and overhyped, this is the channel for you. If you prefer to do only the touristy things... well, that's not our style. Jess Dante, Londoner and travel expert, is the woman behind Love and London. She started making videos in her bedroom to help visitors to London enjoy her new city that she'd moved to just a couple of years earlier. Over the years, the videos on the channel have evolved into sharing insider Londoner knowledge that helps even first-time visitors to see a more diverse, local and interesting side of the city. Jess and her team of London experts will show you the best bits of the city and help you avoid the worst.

Video Description

In this month's instalment of trying London hotels to see if they're worth the hype, I go to a 5-star hotel in Mayfair where the Queen and her sister Margaret learned to ice skate (YES REALLY). Along with having other interesting bits of history, the JW Marriott Grosvenor House Hotel is one of the most popular hotels for Marriott Bonvoy members to redeem their points. So in this video I test out of the suites, I give you a tour of the hotel lobby, take you with me for dinner, breakfast and afternoon tea (it's one of my favourites), and more.
