Travel: London (Part 1)

Hello everybody,

in February I went to my favourite city London.
It was such an amazing time and I wish I was still there. There is going to be a second post next week because this one is already quite long.

So let's get started!
I've been in London a few times before so we had plenty time to do whatever we'd like to do. We arrived on Sunday and the weather wasn't the best tbh but it was still lovely (except the ferry part 'cause I got seasick). As we drove towards London our SatNavs took us weird ways (one of them is from my uncle that we use to see speed cameras) anyway it was actually nice we have been to parts we never been before. The rest of the day was very chilled we just had a quick snack and later some tea at my uncles and Chinese takeaway (probably not what you expect when you go to London).

We are always lucky with the weather it rarely rains when we come to the UK so on Monday it was so sunny but we were kinda stuck in the hotel because we all felt a bit under the weather and the past days were very stressful. We did go out on that day but just for a little walk. In the evening we (of course) went to Carluccios.
What's London without having a big trip to the shops (or in our case two). I think London is one of the best places to go shopping. There are so many different styles coming together, there is just nothing you can't wear.
When in London I love to walk around (way more than at home) so instead of taking that 2-minute walk to (one of) my favourite restaurants from the tube station I took my mum on a 15-minute walk. The Creperie in South Ken do the best crepes I have ever had in my life.  The dough for the savoury crepe isn't as sweet there as it was at any other place I went to. Whilst shopping I found some candy floss grapes in M&S. It is one of the weirdest but also best things I've ever tasted. If you find some try them. I wish we had them here in Germany.
My favourite part of this trip must be Wednesday, I finally got to go to the Warner Bros. Studio Tour. Seeing all the details from the films was an overwhelming and burned-forever-in-my-mind-experience. I can't describe how much I want to go there again it is so crazy. My favourite parts were Hogwarts Express, as soon as we went in that room I screamed of happiness. If you've been there before or seen pictures of it, you know that there is a room where they built a model of Hogwarts. It is so beautiful. Another highlight was walking along Diagon Alley and going in Ollivanders. I've never seen more wands in my life.

On the last day (for this post at least) we went to Vertigo42 and had afternoon tea on the 42nd floor. I'm scared of heights but I don't know what it is but every time I'm in London all my fears shrink and let me enjoy my time (i still had a lot of respect being that high up). The food was so delicious and the view... just wow. I could have sat there for hours. At the end of the day we had dinner at a Lebanese place we went to before.

Right, I'm gonna end it here. I hope you enjoyed this little view into my holidays.
And here are some more pictures!
See you next week!
Love, Steff xx
