Can you day trip to London with dog? And car, kids and Grandad...

Hard day trip to London with the dog. The car. Our kids. And Grandad.

It's a little bit difficult when you can't all go into places.

It's a Dad Delivers Vlog! Where I try to share all the mistakes I make, so you don't have to.

Covers visiting and parking in Central London, treating John Lewis Oxford Street like a theme park... cheap and free things to do with the kids in London... spending a lot of money with the family in London and a tiny bit of where not to eat with the family on our day trip.

hello i'm Neil and uh you might recognise the location in the background this is London England, united kingdom and uh i'm i'm stuck here with the dog walking walking casper around cavendish square which is in central London and it's just behind a really giant really giant it's a moderately sized department store called john lewis the family have gone in this is our day trip to london dogs dogs obviously aren't welcome in in stores or anywhere so i'm stuck outside with the lead and the camera so i thought my dad delivers vlog starts right here i've been making some videos about the i was just gonna say the smooth ride but it's a struggle struggle being a dad anywhere in the world but particularly here in the uk maybe this is it maybe this is the day that i start vlogging regularly about some of the little struggles the little issues and how i don't cope with them very well maybe cataloging on video all of the mistakes that i make oh as a family so casper's pulling me pulling me around the square he's not been to london before this is good isn't it it's like some kind of bad disney live action movie isn't it what would be the worst thing that could happen if i were to make a video every day and just catalogue how a year works there's a little time capsule we got into the car uh two weeks ago to do this and uh look i even got i thought that would be the video to start on our unplanned day trip to london by car say hi everyone hello

and it didn't work the turbo blew on the car had to have the engine completely repaired but it's two weeks later and we've done it again and we knew this would be tricky to come to london with a dog and we knew that one of us would have to wait outside everywhere we went whoa pigeons so the biggest shock was well we've obviously not been here for a couple of years because of the whole pandemic thing we just saw the parking prices we've come on a sunday good job we did because i i was braced to spend a lot of money on parking to make a you know special day trip treat london like a theme park look at these prices i've been very familiar of it you know since the age of five but that that hourly rate right there that is that is something special and on top of that i've got to remember to pay the ULEZ and congestion charge we're going to spend good Saddiq Khan money it's it's good to know that out-of-town-ers can uh can help out the poor people of london we're happy to help you know spend some money from the other shires to support the metropolis in its hour of need i've just realised they've put bars on the benches and i thought oh that's nice it's to divide up the benches to mean that more people get to sit on them it's not it's to stop people sleeping on them it's a it's an anti-homeless device okay i just got a call from my long-suffering wife they're going to come out and they're going to relieve me casper so i get to go in and see granddad my son they've both gone missing casper and my long suffering wife have a a very special bond and she told me yesterday that some hairs got caught up in casper's bottom so he was having trouble going to the toilet so she um helped him

she's a doggy doo doo doula

they've all had enough so i'm now going through it all by myself

which isn't quite the christmas trip that i had planned oh well

well that was a complete washout it's not the same by yourself on a family day to london so we're gonna go somewhere else now to find something to eat wow so london south bank is over there just dropped off the family i don't know if i got that on the dash cam there and bizarrely i've managed to find somewhere just around the corner this never happens in london it's only uh it's only a yellow line look so that means i can use it on a sunday which is great so casper and i we're gonna we're gonna go for a walk just you and me again isn't it yeah see if we can get some south bank action i used to work in this building here it's uh it was the tv station for london and uh made a few programmes here over the years it's so strange seeing it all boarded up and now scaffolding to take it apart

oh man i'm beginning to sound like a 50 year old already but oh it's weird seeing it so we're in Pret and i've got the dog hiding under the table we're outside it's not warm and it's a bit busy the queue is about double digits in there so it might be some time before we get some food okay slight problem we need to find a toilet don't we so we're going to try in here

oh here we go here we go here we go so they were great toilets that was really good that worked out well didn't it so now we're going to go back to Pret A Manger - no toilets - see where we can what we can do with the dog whoa and see what we can do with the dog and granddad

you know who'd have thought that having a car granddad two kids and a dog turns out it's slightly stressful so we got some food look at this steak and chips they went with the steak and chips i i went with some too so it's um bankrupted us somewhat but at least we got some steak and chips so that's a win

so now it's the the drive home hour and a half stuck in traffic on a sunday how was it out of ten joe score out of ten

stella what was today do you give it a score out of ten today is score out of ten for today a nine? oh brilliant how's the steak and chips joe
