Do you know how to pronounce Chiswick
, Tottenham
, Leicester
, and Vauxhall
? London has some quite unusual place names. Most London place names are not pronounced how they are written, so you need to learn each name individually. That’s why in this lesson, I will teach you 17 London place names and their pronunciation to help you sound like a native English speaker. This lesson is for you if you plan on travelling to London or simply to expand your general knowledge when reading literature or watching English programs. Even many Americans don’t know how to say these names correctly, so watch this video and get them right!

>How to pronounce LONDON places correctly: Vauxhall, Marlylebone, Leicester, Chiswick…

Hello, how to become fluent in American English?
If you’re on Richmond branch you will never see Chiswick Park Station:) It doesn’t stop there. You need to take Ealing Broadway branch…
The word “Vauxhaul” resembles Russian word Вокзал/ Vokzal/ that is translated like station (Railway station, bus station and etc). Maybe this Russian word comes from that English.
Thank you, Benjamin, I enjoyed this video very much :)
I never knew how to pronounce correctly some of these
