London Calling
If you want to see what is great about Great Britain you should start with its capital London.
I came to London prepared! With the biggest, newest purple umbrella which remained untouched till unpacking time back at home. I was lucky to have zero days of rain while the whole trip.
Take a photo tour with me and let me convince you that London is the city you simply need to see for yourself!
I was hesitating to upload all these photographs in one post but I could not leave out any more than I already have. I want to show all the diversity a city can have. It is fascinating how all the different times left unique footprints throughout the history.
Personally I love statues of any kind - as you will see from many of my photos.
Take a deep breath and dive in..London is calling..
I love to learn about sights when I am in front of them. Since the city is huge there is no way I would take a guided walking tour. Not with only five days I had. This is why I chose bus tour - in my opinion one of the best ways to explore London. I booked two day tour and it was perfect.
Top 5 places I recommend you to see when you find yourself in London:
~Trafalgar Square
~Any Theatre
~London Tower
~Covent Garden
~Buckingham Palace
There was so many places I wanted to see but I run out of time. I will probably not go to London for quite a while because I have so many other places I want to visit. Besides if I go back to that part of Europe I would try going more to the north and experience the Great Britain away from big cities.
I appreciate your time and would also love to hear from you. What were your favorite, and not so obvious, spots that I have missed in London? I am looking forward to seeing some of your London photos!
And do not forget to have a wonderful day :)
Wonderful city and even a better post! Great work!
Thank you very much I appreciate such feedback :) It helps me stay motivated to keep posting my photography work - no matter how amateur it is :)
I can almost smell the history of this great city.
I agree, the historical value this city holds is amazing. Have you ever been there @oldtimer?
I'm still waiting for steem to reach $50. Then I'll say: London, I'm coming!
The sooner the better :)
I've always wanted to go to London. It is my wife's favorite city. Great photos. Really great post!! people could really learn a thing or two about how to blog by reading your posts. I am definitely following now!!
It is very nice to read such encouraging words thank you! I hope you will visit it soon. Maybe sooner than you imagined, now that we have Steemit ;)
I live in London. Best place to be here daily and enjoy everything. The pics are really excellent. Hope you had lovely time into the happening city. Which one is your most memorable site?..👍👍👍👍
Oh you are lucky aren't you. I would love to stay there longer and find little hidden places too. I did have a brilliant time. Trafalgar square and London tower were amazing. I loved the tour through the tower, I learned so many things from the history.
Awesome post! What was your favorite experience there?
Oh my I can not pick just one! My favorite three were London Tower tour because I am interested in history, afternoon tea on Trafalgar Square because it was just so peaceful even if it was busy and a play I saw in Duchess Theatre, its title was The play that goes wrong.
Yes, start with London, so you can get it out of the way..!
I know right! There is so much more out of the capital. However, it is extremely opulent and versatile city worth seeing.
Haha xD , I know it is, and you definitely did it justice with your photography. Nice post!
I'm from Yorkshire, I'm gonna cycle down there next month, looking forward to seeing the big city again.
The closest I have been to Yorkshire was Liverpool. What is the best sights to see or things to do in Yorkshire? I will keep an eye on any posts from there!
York is a lovely place, really old cobbled streets, street performers everywhere, a million weird and wonderful shops. And the countryside around here is great. :)
Sounds very tempting. I like street performers.
Consider a trip to Brighton (London by the sea) most worthy place to live in the UK, just an hour away from Victoria Station
I looked it up just now. I heard about Brighton but never really looked the info about it. It looks like a nice place and the fact that it is by the sea makes it even more attractive! Thanks for suggestion.
Brighton is love, so different than anything else in the UK. So many crazy people here, you honestly have no idea until you visit it:)
These are some top of the line picks from London, Thanks for sharing every thing looks so peaceful and cool. The building look magnificent... Thanks for sharing k4r1nn
Yeah I was the stereotypical tourist in London! In such short time you have to chose the best battles ;)
Some great pics there, hit so many of the iconic landmarks!
Thanks @moneybags. I had a lot of fun there.
P.S. Nice name you picked for Steemit. Hope your money bags fill up soon ;)
London was so cool! I was there 4 months ago and it definitely did not look that sunny lol. It was very cold!!
Well I bet it looks beautiful in any weather. What did you like the most? How long were you there for? Didn't see any posts on your blog about that yet ;)
I was there for about 1 week. It is on my introductory post! I absolutely love the culture over there, history, and also the beautiful architecture of the buildings. Them brits can drink for sure!
Oh my how could I miss that. Sorry! It has to be perfect since the Queen lives there :)
