There are several Costa Coffee's around London. The one we went to was across from our hotel. I ordered a croissant warm and with jelly. The jelly came in a little glass jar which made it cost more. My cousin ordered blueberry yogurt that she loved. We saw a lot of these while we were in [...]

Up…T
While we were looking for a restaurant in Chinatown I noticed this small bubble tea shop and made a mental note to go there after dinner. After dinner turned out to be surprisingly super spicy my cousin and I headed over to Up...T. It's a small shop that only had a few workers. They had [...]
Bejing Dumpling and Chinatown
After missing our tour my cousin and I headed to Chinatown for dinner. We wandered up and down the street looking at menus, comparing prices and deciding if it was a place we would eat. In one of our tours we were told that by law every restaurant in London must have their menus outside [...]
The London Bridge Experience
When going through the list of things to do with the London Pass we were drawn to The London Bridge Experience. Apparently, according to the BBC before it was opened the workers who were digging found a crypt of skeletons and refused to keep working alone. The London Bridge Experience is a walking tour in [...]

We ordered the four sauces our waiter suggested and my [...]

The London Pass
Our third day in London was mostly free. We had one small tour in the early evening a walking tour that we missed but we made up for it and had fun on our own. The big thing we did though was go pick up our London Pass. The London Pass is amazing. It's a [...]
Fiori Corner
For our breakfast after spending some time at Platform 9 3/4 we went to Fiori Corner. It was a nice cafe/restaurant and a great place to gather our bearings for the day. I ordered a cinnamon danish and my cousin ordered a salmon and cream cheese bagel.
Platform 9 3/4
On the start of our third day, before breakfast or anything else we went to the tube station nearest us, Kings Cross. It's by the trains by platforms 9-11 against a wall. It's a straight shot from outside and to the right, by the restaurant The Doors. Depending on the time there is a line which [...]
