The video consists of highlighting these 7 major tourist traps:
- Visiting restaurants that are in prime tourist spots
- Visiting ‘Traditional’ food locations which prey on tourists with overpriced sub-par food (check Tripadvisor etc)
- Using Rickshaws
- Buying crap from souvenir shops
- Visiting ‘famous’ but fake filming locations (e.g. Notting Hill book shop)
- Non Legit Costume Performers that demand money
- Instagram food spot traps
But remember there are always plenty of other tourist scams especially in London but fear not there are also some great free things to do in London as well!
