LONDON CALLING

LILLY ALLEN- CHINESE

 

Before school starts, I decided to take a mini trip to London, because... why not? :) Although it was a mini trip, it definitely took a long time to get to London and back. With bus commutes, airplanes, and walking for hours we finally made it to London. The trip back however was complete hell, and resulted in a 17 hour trip back, which should have been no more than a 4 hour trip.

I was only in London for two full days, but I definitely want to go back before it's time to leave for Canada again. Two days in London wasn't enough, however I was able to see some amazing things, and am so grateful that I had the opportunity to do so. To my surprise, the weather was perfect. It rained for ten minutes one day, and the rest was sunshine. I always hear how rainy the UK is, but with my experience so far, I have to disagree.

I stayed right in Holland Park while in London, which was no more then a fifteen minute walk to Nottting Hill. The buildings around this area were so colorful and full of life. I  was like a little girl on Christmas every time I saw a brightly colored apartment building.

The shopping in London was my favorite. Oxford street can't be beat.  I tried not to spend tooooo much ;) If I had all the time in the world, I would definitely spend a full day just walking along Oxford. So many stores to see, many of them that can't be found in Canada!

Here are just a small amount of pictures from my trip to London.
