London's Calling...Cheerio!

When I was 16 I visited London for my first time with a group from my high school. The only thing I really remember doing in the City is spending a day at a flea market and I vaugly remember seeing Big Ben. One thing we did NOT do was go see Buckingham Palace. Ever since that trip I had been determined to go back and see all the sights and do LONDON up right.

After a silly airline ticket purchasing incident I ended up with a trip back to the city I had been longing for for over 15 years! And this time I got to see what I wanted bc I went, of course, by myself. I literally walked all over this grand city for 4 days! I went at the begining of January and expected it to rain the entire time and it only rained one time when I was shopping at Harrods and was done by the time I was finished.


here are some of the highlights of my amazing 5 nights across The Pond:
