Welcome to my London Trip.
Here I will show you my London experience and all the places that I think you should visit the next time you are in London.
So here we go...
Our trip to London was very eventful. It started when we missed our first flight while already in the waiting area. The flight had initially been delayed and when the time got adapted again, we did not notice the announcements because we were busy watching some online video streaming service!
When we noticed that it’s already late, we ran to the gate 30 meters next to our seating area and the staff informed us that boarding was already over. To say that we were sad and disappointed is an understatement.
We bought tickets for the next available flight, but this one was from another airport, about 100 km from where we were, and was of course super expensive because we booked at the very last minute.
Driving to the airport was another obstacle because it began to snow heavily and the roads were almost impassable. However, we managed to get to the new airport and finally finally took our next plane.
Our hotel was based near Kings Cross station. We choose a hotel near kings cross because it's a good place to start the days and explore different areas of London easily by public transportation.
If you like the hotel, watch out for our next blog where we will review the hotel.
Camden Town
Camden is a very popular Tourist center that is well known for its alternative culture and vibrant community. The town offers a diverse, and eclectic selection of markets, cuisines and live music.
It is a great place to shop, eat and drink and just enjoy the music scene.
Being our first stop, it definitely did not disappoint.
Camden Market is also very interesting. With over 1000 unique stalls,shops, restaurants and bars, it offers so many nice shopping options and is a great fashion area for hipsters.
Covent Garden.
Covent Garden is cozy romantic place and is a good place to spend the day shopping and exploring the history and culture, or spending the evening dining and enjoying the theatre and street artists.
It has a variety of places to see such as Covent Garden Piazza, where street performers showcase their artistry, the royal opera house, and the London transport Museum among others.
Tate Museum.
Tate museum offers a range of art collections, from British historical art to international modern and contemporary collections.
It offers free exhibitions, and also has art for sale and various interesting events.
You may need to check their website if you are interested in specific collections and events but otherwise it is a definite must see for everyone who likes art and museums.
Big Ben.
Big Ben is the famous clock and clock tower that is also called Elizabeth tower and part of the Houses of Parliament, is an iconic London landmark that has attracted millions of tourists.
We were so excited to finally get to see the famous clock that is said to weigh a massive 13 tons and has stood the test of time since 1859!
Sadly, we were not able to visit the site as it was getting renovated during our stay there, but we managed to capture a few shots from afar.
London Eye.
The renowned London Eye is a very popular site to visit that gives you great views of London. It is definitely a must visit place to visit and the long queues prove that even more. The pods are big enough and move slowly enough to get to see and enjoy the view. The ride takes about 30 minutes, once you get through the queues.
It is actually super nice in the evening, I would recommend going there by night
Leake Street.
Leake street is a road tunnel in London with cool graffiti and urban art painted on the walls. The street also has diverse dining options and a lot of entertainment.
We ate at a Thai Restaurant, which was a fancy place with delicious food. Interesting enough, the place had no real waiter, and instead, we were served by artists. Despite the service being average and hotel being pretty cold, the experience was interesting and worth the while.
Liberty’s.
Liberty’s is a 144-years-old department store in London that is famous for its floral and graphic prints. It is a department store that sells clothing, jewellery, make-up, perfume, furniture and many other goods.
It offers a great shopping experience and is a good place to pick a gift or two for your loved ones. Whether you plan to buy something or not, I think it is definitely a nice place to step in and have a look.
Carnaby street.
Carnaby is an area in London that has 14 streets with pedestrianized shopping and dining establishments. It is home to both hundreds of british and international brands and labels, boutiques, restaurants, jewellery, salons, restaurants, bars, cafes and many more.
Carnaby street is known as the home of fashion and offers a variety of fashion inspiration especially 1960’s fashion, and is a very nice place to ‘shop-til-you-drop’!
