Hello, you lovely human beings!
How are you? How’s everything?
Some time ago, I decided to make a post about my London visit and call it ” London Diaries.” Maybe these will be actual diaries if I happen to go there once again! I still have so many musicals to see on my list!!! (P.S. If you haven’t already seen “My Favorite Musicals,” you SHOULD!: https://whatdidshetype.com/2019/08/04/my-favorite-musicals/ )
But unfortunately, I didn’t have a chance to post it here! Then the pandemic happened, and I postponed it since we weren’t able to travel.
So, I’ve gathered my photos and my experiences for you! We stayed for a week and it was my second time visiting London, but honestly, you can never ever just visit everywhere in London in one week! There are still museums that I haven’t seen! Hopefully, we’ll have a chance to travel again once it is safe to do so!
Let’s start this little diary, shall we?
1) Tate Britain.
If you are a lover of art like me you should definitely visit Tate Britain!
The entrance to the museum is free. You can visit many exhibitions by getting a ticket. The station that is close to Tate is Pimlico which is on the Victoria line.
If you’re hungry I would definitely recommend The White Swan to sit, relax, and something to eat!
2) National Gallery.
I guess this is what every tourist that is visiting London has to go. National Gallery is full of art from all times! As an art lover, I fell in love with every artwork! It’s located in Trafalgar Square.
3) Victoria&Albert Museum.
I loved this museum! Everything was so freaking nice! I was unable to visit the Dior Exhibition, unfortunately, but I was able to see the Mary Quant Exhibition and I was lucky enough to witness great fashion pieces! I’ve also fallen in love with the statues and the building itself! * heart eyes*
4) Windsor Castle.
Who loves Royals as much as I do? Let me see your hands! I count myself lucky to have witnessed where the magical wedding took place as well as to have visited the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world, which has been the family home of British kings and queens for almost 1,000 years!!! How cool is that?
Windsor from my point of view!
5)Westminster Abbey.
Another home to one of the most historical wedding- Princess Diana’s. Also, the abbey where coronations of British monarchs took place. You will immediately feel this atmosphere once you enter the abbey. It is filled with history and the shadows of British monarchs.
I took this picture of Westminster!
6) Covent Garden. OH EM GEE. I miss this place! I loved how lively the shops were, the street sellers, the amazing handmade jewelry, and Whittard’s lovely hot chocolate and teas!
7) Kensington Palace. I loved Kensington so much! Seeing Queen Victoria’s room, her piano, the great hall. It definitely felt like I was time traveling! 🙂
Queen Victoria’s bedroom!
8) West- End, Baby! I saw Wicked and it was SPECTACULAR!!!
I was sooo close!
The Old Vic:
I watched Arthur Miller’s All My Sons and it was beautiful. The cast was amazing!
That’s all for my little London guide, friends! Let me know if you are planning to visit London soon! Or, which place was your favourite London spot? Let’s meet in the comments!
Stay safe,
Love,
Penny
