A DAY IN LONDON

Last week Sean and I took a day trip to London. We love going to London, there's always so much to do and I love the energy of the city. We couldn't believe it had been 10 months since we last visited for our anniversary.



We decided to start the day in Camden, but before we could get there we needed to buy our Tube passes. We usually buy the one day ticket but this time we purchased Oyster cards that we can simply top up every time we go!

We had a little look around Camden but honestly it was just too busy so we wanted to get out of there pretty quick. We really wanted to grab some food in Camden though as everything looked so appealing and smelled amazing! We each picked up a delicious Polish sausage hot dog and found a spot by the canal to sit and enjoy our first meal of the day. I also wanted to track down somewhere to stop and have cold drink but nowhere seemed to sell fresh peach iced tea. I settled for peach and raspberry and we headed off to the station back towards central London.

We had a wander around Leicester Square, went in the M&M shop and popped into Bubba Gumps Shrimp Co. I didn't know the place even existed but I was amazed when we bumped into it. I picked up the cutest little Bubba Gump Shrimp badge whilst I was in the shop and I definitely want to visit the restaurant above next time we are in London.

I really wanted to get some shopping done as I needed some new clothes for Amsterdam on Wednesday and for college in September. We caught the Tube over to Oxford Street as I wanted to look in Selfridges and I was desperate to wander around the new Lush store. Our first stop was Pull & Bear. I always buy their stuff from Asos and I didn't know they had shop on Oxford street. I bought a few amazing tops with the money Sean gave me for my birthday but there was so much more I wanted! Pull & Bear stock the most amazing t shirts, most of which are under a tenner and I wanted them all! Unfortunately they didn't have my size in hardly anything booo. 


We shopped until Sean was tired and needed a little coffee bless him. After a quick pit shop it was back to the shops! We went into Debenhams and Selfridges where I bought a few new bits. Time went so quick while we were shopping and before I knew it, it was closing time and I had completely forgotten to go to Lush. After that it was time to grab some grub so we walked to the nearest Spoons which happened to be right next to Marble Arch.

By now it was getting quite late and we only really had an hour before our coach left. We thought about grabbing a quick drink in The Hard Rock but decided to spend our last hour walking around Westminster as the sun set, much more romantic! We took a few typical tourist photos and then headed back to the coach station to go home.


I love our little day trips to London and we don't have to wait too long till our next trip as I'm going back for a beauty event at the start of September!



I'd love to hear about some of your favorite places to shop, eat, drink, relax in London as I plan to spend a lot more time here over the next few months!

  1. Your photos are beautiful! I like Pull and Bear accessories but never look at their clothes. I have heard they are super lovely though.
