The 8th episode of the Death of the High Street - LONDON

This was a place that was always on my list to come explore, but I was really shocked to see how many boarded up shops there were. Even in places like Covent Garden.

I lived in London and worked in central London in 2015 and 2016, so it was crazy to see how much it has changed since then.

Thank you to Jacob @citiprintltd7535 for all the ace info from a local with first hand knowledge. Do check out his channel and I will link his website below.

It was also the perfect episode to talk about business rates, and discuss just how expensive these can be. Especially in a capital city such as London which is already insanely expensive, add on heavy business rates and it is no wonder that there are so many empty shops and boarded up places.

I actually really like London, and if it wasn't so expensive, I would probably still be living there. And if it wasn't so expensive, all these shops would be able to stay open.

Thank you as always for watching.
