St John's Wood

Today was basically our last day for the entire trip! :(( but that’s okay because we started off the day with something fantastic: Lord’s Cricket Ground! We were running a little late so we took an Uber there. When we got there we entered the gate and went straight into a museum. It was so so cool to see all of these legendary players’ gear and stories, and to learn a whole bunch! Now I know why the ashes are actually called the ashes. After a few more people from our tour group rocked up, our tour guide introduced himself. When I tell you that he was the most perfect cricket fanatic, kindhearted, British gentleman ever, please believe me because he really was all of those things. He knew absolutely EVERYTHING. He showed us all around the stadium, whilst telling us all about the rich history of the grounds. And to make it even better London weather decided to switch things up a bit and show some sun! Best. Tour. Ever. We’d also booked in a ‘cream tea’ (basically scones and drinks) at Lord’s tavern which was AMAZING and made me feel the most British ever. Then we strolled down to Abbey Road Studios and the crosswalk. Honestly, the crosswalk is very hard to distinguish. Like the only reason we knew it was THE crosswalk is because it was pretty crowded. Also poor traffic, constantly stopping for people to take photos haha. Then we decided to go to 221 B Baker Street - where apparently Sherlock Holmes lives. I don’t know anything about Sherlock so I was kinda just following Sarah but hey! There was a cool house with a cool little souvenir shop with a bunch of Sherlock stuff so I guess we were in the right place. Then it was time for me to be introduced to Harrods. I also had no idea what this magical place was at first but wowee that is a place and a half. With everything being costing an arm and a leg. Then to kill time we checked out both Leicester Square and Trafalgar Square, both of which were insanely busy. There were a whole bunch of Chinese New Year celebrations happening which were pretty cool. Then it was time for our final show on West End - Frozen! Now I’m not much of a big Frozen fan but oh. My. Goodness this show blows Wicked and Lion King out of the park. It was genuinely perfect. Like it was the most specky, the most entertaining, most energetic show ever. And the BAND ahh it was the perfect level and genuinely made me listen to the frozen soundtrack. So so good. It’s gonna be hard to let it go. Pun absolutely intended. Then for our last dinner in London we decided to be fancy by going to…another pub. Totally worth it. Some munching and crunching later, we took a bus back to the air bnb and zzzzzLæs mere
