London Part I

Well my time in London has officially come to an end and what an incredible 10 days it has been! As I write this, I am sitting on the train to Yorkshire gazing at the sun beating down on the picturesque scenery of rolling green hills, perfectly thatched roofs and fields of animals. I have loved London so much but can’t wait to get some open space! I want to tell you about everything I did in London but couldn’t possibly fit it in one post so I have decided to split it into 3 parts. Here is part 1.

Day 1:
The first day in London my grandma came down from Yorkshire to see us. We had a beautiful lunch at the British Museum with one of her friends and her daughter and visited the German Exhibiton. There were lots of fascinating artefacts some of them 600 years old! I found the war section especially fascinating. When we got back to our little hotel we discovered the common room and the resident cat lounging on the sofa. He was an enormous and very friendly tabby cat and would come and sit on your lap when you sat down. 

Day 2:
Black Friday. I had never heard of Black Friday Sales before but before we knew it we found ourselves in the middle of Oxford St with half of London. We visited almost every shop on Oxford and Regent st: H & M, topshop, Desigual, John Lewis, Jack Wills and Tiffanys just to name a few! Burberry had the incredible tulle dress in the window from the Burberry with Love christmas film starring Romeo Backham. Tiffanys looked like a postcard with wreaths in every window and christmas trees by the door. Abercrombie and Fitch was as exciting as ever, with the gorgeous shirtless male model standing at the door to greet you and have a photograph with you. Inside the lights were low, the music thumping and the smell of their signature scent mesmerising.

Day 3:
One of my favourite days! We caught the tube to the Shard, but the tickets were sold out so we decided to wander across London bridge to the Tower of London. The views of Tower Bridge from London bridge were incredible! We then walked all the way from the Tower of London past St Pauls cathedral, big ben, houses of parliament and then to Westminster Abbey. The weather was so perfect, blue skies and the sun shining! After admiring the beautiful Abbey, we wandered down past Downing st and made it to Trafalgar Square for sunset. We finished off the day at Jamies Italian in Covent Garden with the Italian Nachos and pasta. Decadent!

Part 2 coming soon!
