Among the sights included were the Tower of London, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, and Buckingham Palace.
A great thing about London is that the museums and art galleries have no entrance fees. Think of all the inexpensive (/free) dates you could go on! I enjoyed the British Museum the most for its beautiful entrance foyer and amazing sculpture rooms.
London is such a bustling, vibrant city that even walking around is enjoyable because there's so much to see and take in. The stroll along South Bank, in particular, is not to be missed!
Europe Parts 2 and 3 featuring Paris and Rome are coming soon!

@Khatu Your tips were super helpful, thank you so much!!
ReplyDelete@Ashley I agree, all the museums/art can get overwhelming... by the end of the trip I'd been to so many they all kind of started blending together. Good thing I have pictures to remind me which was which!
I would be all over the free museums like mud on a pig! I have so many photos from the ones I've been to in TO and just imagine, I paid for all of those visits, lol. So wonderful you got to go back, someday I hope I can go too :)

ReplyDelete"The stroll along South Bank, in particular, is not to be missed!"
ReplyDeleteI love the South Bank too. I'm hoping there'll be a Christmas Market there again this year. And there's always the Globe Theatre, which is a favourite of mine. It's not going to appeal unless you like Shakespeare but it definitely appeals to me.
My favourite part of London is Covent Garden though. The Globe and St James's Park are pretty close behind it but Covent Garden is one place I always make time for. It's got such a wonderful atmosphere, it's always busy, there are all the little shops and the markets. And at Christmas, it really comes alive. Last December, my Mum and I booked into serviced apartments London for a weekend in Covent Garden. And it felt like we'd had a week's holiday, it was wonderful. Chestnuts, mulled wine, hot chocolate and the markets. You couldn't find a better atmosphere anywhere in London.
