I'm going on a two week trip to London! Yay!

Archive: 25 posts


Well I'm going to London with my school tomorrow and I'll stay there for two weeks!
So yeah, I won't be active for that time. So any tips on London people would like to share with me before I go?

Sure!
Most of the museums and galleries are free, and you only have to pay for certain exhibitions etc.
These include:
The Science Museum
The Nartural History Museum
The Victoria & Albert (The V&A)
The Tate & The Tate Modern
The National Gallery

There are also tonnes of parks etc which are really nice.
Try to visit most of the landmarks, and if you find most of these areas a little crowded, you can still see them from high above the city on the famous London Eye.
While on the Southbank, after visiting the Eye, you can go to the London Aquarium, or just have a walk along the river.

Anyway, that's all I can think of for now, message me if you have any questions

Ooooooo, haven't been to London for years, at least five! The last time we went was to a concert in St John's, Smith Square and in between rehearsal and performance we went outside for a walk and a roll and walked past The Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey. It was awesome just being near those awesome buildings, me being a country girl an'all.

Hope you have a great time blizzard!

Also I would highly recommend the 'Rainforest cafe' its an extraordinary experience eating in the middle of a jungle!

Ooh also, a great day out would be Thorpe Park which is about 30 mins outside London.

Oh yeah you'll definitely have a great time no doubt I was just referring to some of the attractions like BIg Ben and Buckingham Palace etc, I just wasn't that wow'd by them

However the museums that were mentioned before are awesome, you'll definitely want to check them out

And we're actually having a summer this year. London is an amazing city when there's sunshine, it transforms. We get so little of it, everyone gets out and about and really appreciates it. You'll have a great time!

Plasmavore's covered most of it, a long walk along the South Bank from Westminster to Tower Bridge is an absolute must.
