One of the places my cousin wanted to go to while we were in London was Greggs. So after getting a bit turned around after leaving Westminster Abbey we searched for the nearest Greggs and went for a bit of a hike. The way my cousin explained Greggs was that it was cheap food, essentially a [...]

Big Ben and Parliament Square
Near Westminster Abbey my cousin and I wandered through Parliament Square in order to get a non packed view of the Elizabeth Tower and a closer look at the statues in Parliament Square. Big Ben is actually not the name of the tower or even the official name of any part of the tower. Big [...]
Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey was one of those places I wanted to go that fought with us. We originally thought we'd be going in during our Total London Experience Tour but instead just looked at it as the bus drove past. Then after we picked up our London Passes we headed over and it was closed. So on our [...]
Peter Pan at Kensington Gardens
Our last full day in London started out early and was packed. I had made a list of things I wanted to see and first up was to the Peter Pan statue at Kensington Gardens. The story of Peter Pan has always been one of my favorites every since I was little. We took the [...]
Aux pains de Papy
One of the first places I noticed from our hotel was this little bakery called Aux pains de Papy. But the first time I saw it I thought it was closed, due to this building next to it. Aux pains de Pappy is a cute little French bakery located near our hotel. It's open from [...]
Sally Lunn and The Real Italian Ice Cream Company
After looking around the Roman Baths my cousin and I walked around town for the short time we had left. Bath is an absolutely beautiful city and I wish we had had a lot more time there. A day or two would have been amazing. A friend of mine studied abroad at Bath Spa University [...]
The Roman Baths of Bath
In 43 AD the romans while building a road found Bath which was a natural hot springs, the only one in the British Isles. The Romans built the Roman Baths and then after 400 years left. Saxons built a graveyard over the baths and later it was found once again. The waters are believed to [...]
Stonehenge
Second on our day tour after Windsor was Stonehenge. A beautiful and awe inspiring prehistoric monument that was built around the same time as the Egyptian pyramids. It's in an area filled with other prehistoric monuments, but is one of the most famous and the only one we had time to visit. Due to destruction [...]
EAT.
The tour we were on for Windsor and the rest of the day didn't include lunch. There was an option to have lunch with the meal, those were packed lunches and unlike the Total London Experience at the Alberts we couldn't be added to that one. So instead we stopped in the train station on [...]
Windsor Castle
Our fourth day in London was another full day of tours. We got on a bus and our first stop was to Windsor Castle. Windsor Castle is reachable via train but we went on our a tour bus. We wandered around the castle grounds and looked at the state apartments. Windsor Castle is the largest [...]
