My last trip to London was in May 2012, and now that it's been almost a year since my visit I'm getting ancy and wanting to travel again. This past week I've been looking through my pictures and writing to the friends I took the trip with. Such a great adventure :)
Here's a recap of my favorite parts:
When we first got off the train at Kings Cross Station all the Harry Potter fans - myself included - wanted to find Platform 9 3/4. We searched and searched on the actual platforms and annoyed quite a few people (
embarrasingly enough) but soon found that the platform had been moved! It wasn't quite as legit-looking as the original, but it did suffice. I think our picture turned out well!
Our Sunday continued by attending a service at
St. Paul's Cathedral which was completely magnificent. The inside of the church was so beautiful and inspiring.

Tower Bridge! SO beautiful! |

In Picadilly Square with my group for the day |
|
At the British Museum! One of my favorite spots. |
|
Covent Garden's live music - it made me so happy :) |
|
Getting ready to see Wicked with my roomie and good friend! |

KEATS HOUSE! |
Visiting Keats house was, by far, one of the most exciting parts of my time in London. I loved the area of London in which he lived and I loved learning all about this amazingly sensitive poet and his muse, Fanny Brawne.

I'm taller than Keats! (this is his actual height! Poor self-conscious dude) ;) |

After acting as our own tour guide the second day and stumbling around London on our own (
yikes), the group reunited at
our hotel before heading out to see Les Miserables!
The pic below is of me and a girl who everyone mistook for my sister! It was kind of hilarious hearing that from several different people (even complete strangers!). Do we look alike?!

All in all, it was a wonderful trip. Hope to see you soon, London! |
You so pretty :)
