Days 8 + 9: St. Paul’s Cathedral, British Museum, and The End!

Thursday, March 27 Thursday! Our last full day in London. 😢 This was a shorter trip than many of our recent trips, but it felt like a good amount of time overall. Of course, I could always use more time... there were certainly things we didn't get to (I mean, I think you could spend… Continue reading Days 8 + 9: St. Paul’s Cathedral, British Museum, and The End!

Day 7 in London: Natural History Museum + Harry Potter Studios!

Wednesday, March 26 Day 7 already! This was a great day. This was a more structured day, because we had Warner Brother Studios: The Making of Harry Potter tickets for 4:00 p.m., and the studio is quite far away. I had strategically planned to do the Natural History Museum in the morning, because our apartment… Continue reading Day 7 in London: Natural History Museum + Harry Potter Studios!

Day 6 in London: Richmond! And The Grenadier.

Tuesday, March 25 *Real time update! We're home! We got home LATE last night (Friday night... well, actually early Saturday morning by the time all was said and done).

Day 5 in London: Westminster Abbey, bridge pics, graffiti tunnel, Abbey Road and… football!

Monday, March 24 Westminster Abbey On Monday we had timed tickets for Westminster Abbey for 10:00, so it was a “slightly” earlier morning to get everyone up and ready and out the door. (In this season not necessarily essential to pre-book, but I saw conflicting reports and as we had other firm evening plans, I… Continue reading Day 5 in London: Westminster Abbey, bridge pics, graffiti tunnel, Abbey Road and… football!

Day 4 in London: Buckingham Palace, Churchill War Rooms and Jack the Ripper…

Sunday, March 23 The “plan” for the day included 3 big rocks- Buckingham Palace at 11:00 (1-2 hours total), Churchill War Rooms in the afternoon (~2 hours), and then the Jack the Ripper walking tour at 7 pm (2 hours). Adding on travel time and meals and wandering time, I knew this would be a… Continue reading Day 4 in London: Buckingham Palace, Churchill War Rooms and Jack the Ripper…

Day 3! Hyde Park + Windsor day trip

Saturday, March 23 Saturday’s plan was mostly a day trip to Windsor. We ended up staying up too late Friday night and probably still had some jet lag effects, so we were just slow and lazy Saturday morning. Which was actually fine, since the main attraction in Windsor is the Windsor Castle, and it doesn’t… Continue reading Day 3! Hyde Park + Windsor day trip

Day 2! Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Chinatown and more

Friday, March 21 Our first full day was great!! We were a bit slow-moving in the morning, which I had expected. I hadn’t booked any timed tickets or anything, but was pretty firmly set that we’d do Tower of London on Friday. It’s a lengthy activity that requires multiple hours or a better part of… Continue reading Day 2! Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Chinatown and more
