Remembering Europe: London, Baby!

After spending too few days there last year, I've always wanted to go back to London. The time we spent there was really not enough to see EVERYTHING I wanted to visit. Sure, we did "see" some of the places, but we weren't really there (case in point: Trafalgar Square). What was the point really if you're just going to see, and not be there, right?

(BTW, my parents paid for the whole trip, so I really couldn't complain about how they want to travel with us. I am of course still very grateful for the experience.)

And since Sherlock has reaffirmed my love for all things London, here's a few shots from our very short London trip last year.

Near our hotel, the Kensington Close

I could eat fish and chips every day, all day. Srsly.

Buckingham Palace. Quite sad we didn't get to go in :(

Is this Belgravia? I kind of shrieked when Irene Adler stepped into her house in Sherlock's A Scandal in Belgravia because I recognized the place from our trip!

Queen Victoria's Statue, near the Buckingham Palace


St. James Park. I was on the lookout for Crowley and Aziraphale ;) Totally fell in love with the place -- I could imagine myself having a picnic here, or just chilling out here one afternoon


Trafalgar Square. Never went *into* the square, as I took this photo only from our double-decker bus. When (not if!) I go back to London, I'm definitely spending an afternoon here.


The Thames and the London Eye.


The Big Ben. I don't really know if we can go inside and have a look around, because my parents just showed us Big Ben so we can take pictures.


London from high above. This was taken from the London Eye -- the weird shapes in the clouds are, I think, our reflections.


At dusk.


Mind The Gap, London Underground. On our way back home to our hotel.

I will see you again, London <3
