london is the definition of classic and cool. there are so many sights to see, like the buckingham palace, london eye and big ben, except apparently big ben is under construction for the next 2 to 4 years (who really knows), so when we were there all you could see was the nice scaffolding that completely covered him, but hey, at least we could still see the clock. so shoot for 2021/2022 for big ben’s new look. the whole time I was here I was just replaying all the scenes from the 30 hugh grant movies that took place in london. kidding there’s only 18. from window shopping in piccadilly circus to exploring the quaint and colorful homes of notting hill, filling up a day in london is quite easily done and it is truly one of those cities that you can’t get tired of.
sidenote: highly recommend going to see a play and going to a football match while in london, both are amazing experiences and you definitely won’t regret it.
