00:00 Hello, so today's video theme is richest neighborhoods.

00:03 So I've taken you to the West End of Glasgow.

00:06 When I was doing my research, various spots in Glasgow came up for the richest area, like recently.

00:13 I think it fluctuates and it changes all the time, the actual like specific streets and everything.

00:17 But I feel like the West End is consistent.

00:20 There's been places in the South Side, the North, never the East though.

00:24 That's one thing, which is a shame because that's where I'm from.

00:27 I got the subway here from Buchanan Galleries to Kelvin Bridge.

00:31 So we're going to walk downhill headway.

00:33 As an area, it feels posh, like everyone's dressed nice.

00:38 There's lots of like independent shops, lots of nice bakeries and cafes.

00:45 The bars are slightly more expensive, although they are probably nicer.

00:51 So let's go and explore.

00:53 Absolutely stunning.

00:55 One thing the West End is great for is vintage clothing.

00:58 So this is their vintage clothing shop.

01:01 It's also home to Glasgow's very own Kelvin Grove Art Gallery and Museum, which is down this way.

01:06 Over here also is Naked Soup, which is arguably one of the best places for a bagel and soup in Glasgow.

01:14 We would go there today, but it's always queued out the door.

01:16 I always feel quite intimidated when I come to the West End because everybody looks good.

01:20 Everyone's dressed immaculately.

01:22 Even the students, they've all got their street wear, but the expensive stuff is just like a sea of North Face jackets.

01:28 So one thing that is really good about Glasgow's West End is it has the Botanic Gardens,

01:32 which is right next to basically everything.

01:35 So if there is places that are busy, you can just come here and take some food or just hang out here.

01:42 You don't need to walk that far.

01:43 I suppose other places in Glasgow have that as well, like Southside.

01:49 But these are really, really nice gardens.

01:53 It was £6, so that's more money I would want to spend on a sandwich, but it is really, really good.

01:57 It actually might be the best sandwich I've ever eaten.

02:00 So it's salmon beetroot and I think it's cream cheese.

02:03 I think salmon and beetroot are such a good combination.

02:06 I think more things should involve this.

02:08 And on rye bread and it looks like homemade bread.

02:12 Extraordinary views.

02:14 That is one of the only issues about if you do decide to go to a park and eat your lunch,

02:19 that Scotland, especially Glasgow, is extremely cold.

02:23 And sometimes it just gets a bit too cold.

02:27 And you don't want to do that.

02:29 Or you need to move, so wrap up.

02:32 This is the Libertines' tour bus.

02:34 The Libertines are playing at the Old Moor tonight.

02:36 A revamped church, which is now a bar and live music venue.

02:42 I feel like I'm in Paris.

02:44 This is extremely chic.

02:46 The decor, I mean, there's flowers just hanging from the ceiling.

02:51 Flowers over meadows.

02:52 The wallpaper is beautiful.
