Yep, welcome to London! Here are just a few highlights:This building above (the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben) was my favorite-looking building in all of London.
You can't go to London without going to King's Cross train station to see Platform 9 3/4 :)
See ya, Mom & Dad! I'm goin' to Hogwarts!

We went to Greenwich - the beginning of time! (the Prime Meridian)
On a boat cruise down the Thames River with Big Ben in the background. What a sunny, beautiful day!
And of course, as we were on a nursing study abroad, we went to the Florence Nightingale Museum in London...loads of fun! ;)
(there were costumes you could try on throughout the museum, and on the bottom right is a dress made out of a maps!)Our first night in London, we got tickets to see Wicked!
The famous Trafalgar Square...
A view from the top walkway of Tower Bridge across the Thames
This was in the Tower Bridge engine room...ha ha
And Phantom the 2nd night!
The last night of our study abroad Christina and I ran a 3.7 mile race for homelessness in London. This (running) is my way of seeing the city! :) It started and finished at St. Paul's cathedral, crossed the Thames several times, went by the Globe Theatre, the London Eye, the Tate Modern, and many other beautiful sites of London. It was really fun!
Sorry it's just a smattering of pictures from London. Its a busy, bustling city, but just as London-y as you can imagine. We also went to Buckingham Palace, the Globe Theatre, St. Paul's Cathedral, and had plenty of tube rides stuffed to the rim (and then some!)! What an experience! :)

stuffed to the rim with heads popping out of the tube if i do say so myself. still can't stop laughing about that incident. that's what you get for trying to smooch your gf after the ding-ding-ding of the closing doors.
ReplyDeletejust one more incident to report of yearly injuries from the tube.
over-out. christina
I know that they drive on the other side of the street over there in England, but that doesn't make left right, and the dress made of maps is definitely in the lower right of your picture collage! It sounds like a lot of fun, though. I love all the pictures and wish I could have experienced it with you.
