Welcome to a new post!
If you've seen my last blog post (if not, click here to read it), you'll know that I recently went to London for a day, during my time in England. But I also spent a second day there throughout my stay. This time though, we decided to look around some other spots of London that we hadn't seen before, or had only been to very briefly.
We decided to explore Camden, Primrose Hill and Shoreditch and had a great time, even though the weather wasn't the prettiest. Oh, and we also had a quick stop at King's Cross, which obviously is a must see for any Potterhead. I didn't take any pictures there, but in the end, there's not that much to see. I'm still not over the fact that a picture in front of Platform 9 3/4 literally costs £10. I might have ended up buying a key ring though...oops. Honestly, that shop was literally heaven.
The first stop was Camden, which a lot of you will probably have heard about, whether you're English or not. It's very well known, hence why you can basically barely move most of the time. But there are many cute little shops and people selling almost every fan or touristy shirt that you could want. There are also many many different cute little stands selling lots of nice food. The only downside is that most places that have nice food you just don't want to stop at cause there are sooooo many people. In the end we still managed to get some though haha. Lucky us.
Fries and feta.
Off to our second stop: Primrose Hill. Don't think without Mr. Harry Styles I would have ever gone to the place, but I am just so glad that we did because I literally fell in love with it. You know you're in London, but it somehow doesn't feel like London. It's just as pretty, but soo much calmer. I wish the weather would have been nice enough to take some more pictures of the actual streets, but oh well. Also, the park is literally so beautiful and you have a perfect view over London and lots of popular sights. If I could I would move to that part of London straight away, honestly. So nice! I definitely recommend going there if you're in London, even if you just end up sitting on top of the hill in the park and make your way through a whole package of chocolate hobnobs...;)
Using the Overground instead of the tube for once.
Arriving in Shoreditch.
Despite everyone always raving about how much they love Shoreditch, it wasn't really our thing. I'm pretty sure we must have landed in the wrong parts of it and probably missed out on the good stuff, but oh well. One day someone who knows something about London will need to show me around there. They do have a few nice bits of graffiti there. We ended up spending quite a lot of time in front of the LIKEtoKNOW.it wall, which is just so cute. If you want your own pictures in front of it, be quick, because it'll probably be gone soon!
After enjoying a Mushroom & Halloumi wrap at Nandos, we then made our way back home to Brighton.
And that's where my second London adventure ends. When I first went to London, over two years ago, I immediately fell in love with it and knew I would love to live there. Going there again within the past month just proved that once again. It's no secret that London is an awesome city, though. I can't wait to go back.
Leave me any tips you have on places to see in London, if you like! :)
Have a beautiful weekend ♥
Love, Jacqueline Xx
