London Trip: Day 3 Final Day: Millennium Bridge, HMS Belfast, Tower Bridge, Shakespeare's Globe

On our last day in London we had to carry out backpacks around with us after checking out from the Bedford Hotel in the morning so we thought it would be best to do some more sightseeing. So from the hotel we caught the tube and got off at St. Paul's and started our sightseeing from there.

Next we walked along the Millennium Bridge and had a quick walk around the Tate Modern from there we walked along the Thames and came across Shakespeare's Globe.

Next we passed the HMS Belfast.

We then walked across Tower Bridge.

Then we walked around the Tower of London which at the moment is surrounded by porcelain poppies to commemorate the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War, which looks so pretty in real life.

We then got onto the tube and got off at Victoria and had another look round Westminster Abby and Big Ben.

Overall me and my Mum had a really great time and saw lots of sites but to be honest I am so glad to be home and released how lucky I am to live in such a quiet city.

London Trip Day 2: Museums, Kesington Palace & Oxford Street

Here is my second blog post for what I got up to in London:

After we had breakfast at the Bedford Hotel we headed off to the Museums in London, all of the main Museums are quite near each other. The first stop was the National History Museum which was amazing, there are so many things to see and do. My favourite thing about the museum was learning about all the animals and creatures on the planet they even had a dinosaur exhibition. Also you get to learn about how the earth was created and developed to what we know today.  

Next we visited V&A museum however to be honest we felt it was a little bit of a letdown we did the fashion exhibition which was really interesting but the rest of the museum was a bit of a letdown.

We then went of to dinner and next visited the Science Museum which as really interesting I have to say the Museum has 3 floors but the second and third floor was a waste of time. So if you plan to visit the Museum stick on the first floor because that is where all the best stuff is.

We then took a long walk to Kesington Palace and had a walk along all the gardens.

For the rest of the afternoon we walked along the whole of Oxford Street and did a bit of shopping and then went back to the hotel. I have to say my poor feet were killing me.

London Trip Day One: Buckingham Palace, Westminster, British Museum and the Bodyguard

Like I said in my last blog post, I had booked 3 day short trip to London with my Mum and I thought I would share with you some of my photos that I took and where we ended up going. As soon as we arrived in London we had to carry our backpack with us so we decided to stay in the local area near the hotel so we didn't have far to drop our bags of in the afternoon. We first took the underground tube to Buckingham Palace and had a walk around the area to look at all the nearby sites.

While we were outside Buckingham Palace we ended up seeing the changing of the queen's life guards.

The we walked up towards the Horse Guards Parade where it is used for royal parades and ceremonies.  

Next we walked to Westminster and saw Big Ben which seemed a lot smaller in person than it does on TV! I also waked pasted Downing Street which was bit of a letdown because the street is cut off and surrounded my police so you couldn't get a good look at it or take a photo.

After dropping our backpacks of at the Bedford Hotel we then went for a walk to the British Museum which was a few minutes away from the hotel. The Museum contained lots of artefacts from all around the world which was broken up into sections in the museum. The most interesting part of the museum for me was the Egyptian exhibition where it was full of Egyptian statutes and Mummies.

They even mummified cats!

To finish the day of, me and my Mum had booked tickets to the Bodyguard at the Adelphi theatre which was amazing I had never seen it on DVD so the story line was new to me. Alexandra Burke was the main lead in the show and she was amazing she could sing and dance and it was the second last show before the show goes on tour.  I really recommend if you love musicals, then I would go and see it in a town near you. 

Stay tuned for my London blog for day 2 and 3!

London Calling

I have finally got round to booking a short holiday to London it been on my mind for a few years now and I finally booked a few days of work so I can go along with my Mum. I don't think I been on holiday for well over seven years so I am so excited! Even though it is only for 3 days I'm going to make the most of it, fingers crossed the weather not too bad. I made a wish list of places I want to visit such as the National Science Museum, a few famous landmarks and I booked tickets to see the Bodyguard the musical. Which is something I wanted to go and see before the show ends in London. Hopefully I will remember to take lots of photos so I can put them blog to show you all when I get back.
