As a product of reading countless guidebooks at the bookstore, and stalking people lucky enough to study abroad in London before me, I have compiled a list of the top 15 things I need to do while in London.
In no particular order:
1. The London Eye. This is my desktop background (well, 2 out of the 5, thanks OSx) so as to stop being such a poser, I should probs actually go.
2. Tour Parliament. Watch parliament in action! I'm mostly in it for the cool uniforms (costumes? what's the respectful word....) they wear. This is much more interesting to me than the changing of the guard, though that's probably a form of blasphemy for me to say.
3. Westminster Abbey: There are services daily here, open to the public. This is def happening, probably multiple times! Also, this is where Kate married Harry. It's probably best that I have been to this church before my own royal wedding. We wouldn't want me to be out of my element or anything (smart thinking, right?).
4. The Globe Theatre... and The National Theatre and ALL THE THEATRE
5. Platform 9¾!!! I'd be remiss if I didn't do make this happen (that's something Brits say, right? remiss? Trying here)
6. The Tower of London.. Three words: The Crown Jewels.
7. London Zoo. Alas, no pandas. I don't want to talk about it. At least I'll get to meet Alphie!! :P
8. Little Venice.
9. Russell Square Garden
10. Hyde Park... Fashion Week!!!
11. Regent’s Park. Looks like a beautiful place to have a picnic...
12. Portbello Market: Giant Flea Market... Also has yummy snacks
13. PRIMARK.
14. Covent Garden. (Can you tell I like gardens?)
15. Ben’s Cookies. Heh, I know... No judgement please :P
^this seems like the most fitting way to end this list
