London. Biggest city in the UK. Biggest city in the European Union. It’s a big deal. So two friends and I decided to visit over the long Easter weekend. It was a great trip, four full days in the city with beautiful weather, we saw just about everything. Seriously. This was largely because Prerna and I had Alessio as a tour guide, or our "guide-tour" as we called him throughout the trip. But the problem I have is how we saw so much that trip was one huge whirlwind. I find it difficult to explain the city with more than just a description of all that I saw and did. So once more, this post is lacking in narration but incredibly rich in photos.
Some parts of London are very pretty. And some are very posh, as well.
 |
| This is Harrods, the most upscale department store in the city. Yes, we went in. Yes, it was incredible. |
Some childhood dreams were fulfilled this weekend...
 |
| Harry went through here and so did I. |
We went to some markets...
 |
| Camden Town Market |
...and many museums.
 |
| A collection of full and partial Greek (?) statues in the British Musuem |
 |
| A piece of art displayed in the Tate Modern |
We saw all the major landmarks in the city...
 |
| Me in front of the Tower Bridge |
 |
| Me, Prerna, and Alessio in front of Buckingham Palace |
...by day and by night.
We took the tube to get everywhere we needed to go...
 |
| Westminster Tube station, just beside Westminster Abbey |
...we stayed in hostels located near the city center...
 |
| Prerna in our dorm-style hostel. I slept in the top bunk next to her head. |
...and most importantly, we had an awesome time! It was a whirlwind of a trip, four intense days of highly efficient sightseeing, but still an
absolutely fantastic four days.
