We are about to follow the footsteps of Charlie McDonnell
in an attempt to recreate his Landmark Rush.
We are starting here, with the Tower of London
and we are on the move.
Ladies and gentlemen: Tower Bridge.
And the bus.
We are on the move.
Hi.
Maruša and Nina.
Yes, me and her. Or both of us. Yes.
Now I'll be on my own, because we don't like her.
No! You won't.
They said they're giving us millions of millions of GBP.
We are at the landmark number three.
So, the third landmark: The Shard.
It's supposed to be the tallest building in the UK.
It will in fact be the tallest building in Europe
when it's finished in May.
Our next stop is the London Eye
so we are going to the Waterloo tube station.
We are going on the tube.
The tube is a scary, scary place.
[Singing] People are staring at me.
There are 413 escalators in the London tube system.
The fourth landmark: the London Eye.
Quite cool. And the lights are on during the day.
We have a beautiful sunset over there on ...
(we can't see) ... what's it called?
On the right. [laughter]
We are already under the Big Ben.
It's 5 pm and the clock is working.
Let's go. Carry on, mind the gap.
Westminster Abbey! The place where William
and Kate got married. - That's right.
(Do you want me to take your photo?)
No, we're filming, thank you.
This is number six on our map.
We will continue to 10 Downing Street,
where we won't be able to go in ...
But! But that is the home of the current Prime Minister ...
... sir ... His name will be written in the top left corner.
This is so much fun. Maruša says: "Let's go!"
and I ask: "Where?" and she is like: "Uhmmm ..."
So, where? - Down the street. - Down the street.
- Here. In the general direction of here.
- It genuinely says Wh&%#$/& Hall. - Wh&%#$/& Hall.
- Look, there is a shadow over the name. - Wh&%#$/& Hall.
(Thanks Karen.) Number seven. [laughter] She said Karen.
The *** bag. Ok, number seven: Downing Street, 10 Downing street
somewhere back there. It's the home of our ... our :D Minister.
It's very guarded, there are many policemen, they are very armed,
they have ... stuff. We can't go in but ... it's great.
Yet again we just went. - And it was in the right direction!
That was a coincidence. She IS London!
Here straight and at the roundabout ... - Straight ... Ok.
And there is ... what is? Trafalgar Square.
Hi. This is our eight stop: Nelson's column. At the same time,
we are in Trafalgar square and if you turn ... that way
there are double-deckers.
Behind the Column there is The National Gallery ... or something.
And now, we're going to go ... forward.
Nine. Piccadilly Circus.
You might have noticed it got a bit dark in the meantime.
We found a store with the British flag printed on everything.
And we need ... if we found toilet paper with the flag, we'd buy it.
That IS a fact.
Anyway, behind us is the thing on the Piccadilly Circus.
Pretty lights!
And here, in front of us is the restaurant, in front of which
we watched Russell Crowe film a movie.
So in the loving memory of that.
He was there. We saw him.
Our next stop is number ten, Buckingham Palace.
Everything begins and ends with the Queen.
Look! Kate! Gotta go.
We have arrived. The last sight: Buckingham Palace.
Now we are due for a cup of tea with the Queen,
because the flag is up which means she's home,
and you - enjoy!
We were totally in London.
Camera and shabby montage.
Music.
