London Adventures
hello lovely!
for an early 21st present my boyfriend paid for us to go to London for a long weekend.
it was amazing - we had to drive because of train strikes but was okay because of the amount of bags we had (I had) :/
It took about three hours to drive down on Thursday 18th August which wasn't too bad considering we stopped for a bit and traffic/congestion zones.
We stayed in Crystal Palace (perfect location for shops & for easy transport into Westminster)
Friday 19th Aust
we got the bus into Westminster - downloaded the TRL app which was a lifesaver for finding bus stops/buses.
Once in Westminster we took some photos of Big Ben, parliament, Westminster abbey and the Supreme Court (SC).
its free to go into the Supreme Cout so we had a gander around the the different court rooms which was amazing, I sat in the seats in court room three which was super cool!
each of the three court rooms were all amazing in there own way and all unique. I think my favourite court room was court two because it acknowledges significant women throughout UK History.
After this we went for food and planned out the day, we walked to Buckingham place, tried to find downing street but got lost so had a good time just wondering around admiring the different statues and significant landmarks in/around Westminster.
we also walked over the bridge and took some basic Big Ben/parliament photos and the London eye.
Before we got the bus back to Crystal Palace we went into Waterloo and got to see other cool sights, them we walked and got the bus back to the hotel.
Saturday 20th August
We had a bit of a lay in then got the but around 9/10am, and headed back back to Westminster.
I booked a guided tour of Westminster the day before and it was amazing! I would 1000% recommend booking a tour.
After the tour we were starving so went to find somewhere for food and just had a walk around Westminster to Trafalgar Square where we got the bus back to Crystal Palace.
went to the shops to get a sandwich for later and some fruit.
I hope you enjoyed this short summary oF my weekend away!! If you want to see more photos/have any questions feel free to on Instagram!
