Travels : London

I’ve been to London three times and each time is better than the last! The people , the vibes, the night life, the landmarks are all just wonderful!

London was my first place of travel outside of the country and they most certainly not disappoint!

Of course on my first day I did all of the touristy things such as sight seeing, taking the tube (Train) and eating at local pubs.

The food wasn’t as flavorful as i’d hope but still good. A few days into I came across some of the mom and pop shops and when I went further out into south London and they showed out with the food!

A few things to know about traveling to London is that…

First, you will have an amazing time!

Second, Collect all of your receipts when you are shopping and ask for a tax form. At the end of your trip you can stop at VAT refunds in the Heathrow airport to get the money back that you spent in tax. You must do this before you go through security because they do not have one past that point. You also have the option to mail it in.

Third, You must visit Sketch! It is a high tea place and kind of bougie lol but it is an awesome experience! Each room they have has a different feel to it and is SUPER photo worthy for the gram!

If you enjoy shopping just as much as I do I would recommend taking the Piccadilly down to Oxford Street , thats where you’ll find all of the best shopping stores from high end to Zara and top shop just to name a few!

Fourth, I highly recommend you visit London during the holidays starting Late November into December. Their holiday decorations are to die for and you will absolutely fall in love and will never want to leave. I know I didn’t ! lol
