Oh, London



London was always one of those cities I had assumed I'd visit effortlessly and at any ol' time, but after visiting Paris an embarrassing number of times and still no London up to this point, I decided it was time to change that. I had also assumed I'd love London easily, and I was right. Though I could do without the crazy queuing up for meals and crazy short days (and I thought sunset in NY was early!), I thought it was a beautiful city and kind of had the best elements of NY and Paris in one. I rounded up some of the places and neighborhoods I visited in the first few days and will hopefully follow-up with a part two; otherwise, this header here will be somewhat awkward. I'll let the below photos and captions do the talking!

  1. My husband and I adore London. We hope to live there someday, actually. Not only is the art scene incredible but it's just a train ride away from Paris and so many other incredible places. Looks like you had an absolutely lovely time (you and Shini were cracking me up on Snapchat).

  10. I can't believe how much you managed to squeeze into a short visit. LOL. We LOVE to queue :P BTW, I got to Bao London early and was the first to arrive. Guess what? We were sent over to the other side of the road to queue.

  12. Queuing for meals – yep, that I always found crazy, too, even after four years living in London. It looks like you hit some pretty good spots, though – did you make it to Bao? I don't have patience for that. Barrafina is just amazing, though, and Lyle's is just too pretty to skip. Hope you make it to Sydney next, not many queues here from the look of it, and plenty of sunshine. x
