With only 4 hours sleep, got up and showered to get ready for the flight into London city airport. The roads were clear, the flight was smooth and I arrived into the City airport that was connected by the DLR. Was able to ride the DLR and get into London in all of 10min. I will definitely fly into LCY if I have a chance in the future, I will take that option. From airport to Guesthouse was under 1 hour. Even during peak hours the tube was not that bad. Living on the other side of Camden in West Hampstead. A kitchy/yuppie location. More upscale than in Camden proper, with restaurants that catered towards that crowd. Finally met up with LMV. They didn’t have the smoothest first day in London, but was able to explore West Hampstead.
Breakfast was in order! Then headed downtown to go on the touristy bus tour. Although I had already seen all of the London that I wanted (minus Wicked and Tower of London), it was still very fun to explore London with LMV. They were so cute! Having that double decker bus tour gives you an informative view from the tour guides that add their stories of the historical view. As windy as NL was, London was even more windy… maybe it would help to NOT sit on the top deck.
He was great! Went into the chapel, and learned about the horror and executions of the historic site. Saw the Crown jewels in person! Definitely worth the entrance fee.
Went back and called it a day, had dinner at NANDOS… bahahha. Talk about self-serve!
Then I got on the tube around 11pm and ventured around Regent’s Park and into Camden. Dropped off something for my 2nd cousin and got back to the guesthouse.
