londonVisiting London was like stepping foot into the UK version of New York City! It's a city that thrives on tourism, history, and chaos, where everything you could possibly want or need is within an arms length reach. The streets are filled with constant movement, the "tube" is exactly like the transit systems in NYC, and the people....well, they are just as rushed and aggressive as anyone would be that lives in a major cosmopolitan city. But ah, London! How can you not love a city like this?! Although it wasn't exactly how I always imagined it would be, it still came pretty darn close. I only spent a few short days here, but it is definitely a city I will one day find myself in again. The food is incredible, the nightlife is vivacious, and the shopping is endless! Below I will provide a brief outline on the highlights of London that I experienced. I will also include the costs, location, and hours of each place visited. ACCOMMODATION |
