London

London was our first stop of the trip. It wasnt very cold but it was usually cloudy and typical London weather. We did have a few sunny times which made it awesome to sit out and read in the parks :) It is manageable to see all of London by foot but it was a lot of walking. We walked as far as three hours in one direction (just to see platform 9 and 3/4. Any Harry Potter fans?). Overall I loved London and did not want to leave. My most favorite thing in London was sitting in the garden in front of Buckingham Palace and just relaxing. Hope you enjoy the pictures :)

Must Do's/See's in London: 

  • Take the classic phone booth picture
  • Westminster Abbey
  • Big Ben & Parliament building
  • Buckingham Palace & Changing of the Guards
  • Tower Bridge
  • Eat fish&chips (I tried one bite! arent you proud dad?)
  • London Eye
  • Platform 9 & 3/4 from the Harry Potter movie



Westminster Abbey



 Big Ben


 The British are coming, The British are coming :)


 The Queens home :) Buckingham Palace


 There were so many people there (but of course I managed to push my way to the front)


 Awesome changing of the guards ceremony


Where and how Harry Potter enters Hogwarts :)

 I suppose fish & chips should be eaten if youre in London
