London

We had a chilled morning and sleep in plus some life admin after sleeping in a proper bed!
We caught the bus and tube into the centre of London, starting at Westminster. It is very easy to travel around from here - it took about 40 mins to Westminster station from Louise’s place.

We walked around Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, St James Park to Buckingham Palace and along the Mall to Trafalgar Square. The streets are still filled with Union Jack flags and other decorations from the King’s Coronation a couple of weeks ago.

We then walked across Jubilee Bridge and infront of London Eye to County Hall where we went to see the play (based on the Agatha Christie story), Witness for the Prosecution. It is a theatrical play in the old county hall of London (in an actual old court room) and is about a man on a murder trial - it was very gripping right until the very end, and members of the audience were able to be part of the jury and deliver the verdict! We loved it!!

We then went for a drink ‘inbetween bridges’ at a summer pop up bar and enjoyed a beer and aperol spritz and food (including a delicious truffle pizza - Gab’s favourite) in the sun.
We then felt in the mood for more walking and walked along the Thames towards the Tower of London. On the way, we passed so many people crowding at pop up bars and restaurants and enjoying the sunshine (which we know is not always common in London)! We finished up by crossing the Tower Bridge where the sun was shining over the Thames (still very bright at almost 8pm!) and then caught a train back from Aldgate station back home.Baca selengkapnya
