London ☕️🇬🇧

I spent a week in London! Here are some of the things I did that I really enjoyed:

Places

• I visited the national COVID memorial wall by St Thomas’ Hospital and the Thames overlooking Westminster Palace

• I went to Trafalgar Square, Russell Square, St James Park, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben + Westminster Palace, Westminster Abbey, and 10 Downing St

• I crossed The Thames along these bridges: London Bridge, Tower Bridge, Waterloo Bridge, and the Lambeth Bridge

• I saw the West End production of Frozen at the Royal Theatre Drury Lane

• I went to King’s Cross and saw Platform 9¾. Then I took the Thames Link to spend an afternoon in Cambridge, where I saw the University of Cambridge colleges and the outdoor Saturday market!

• I visited the London Wall, Borough Market, Piccadilly Circus, and Harrods

Eat/Drink

• Vegan British breakfast at Bill’s Soho Restaurant (36-44 Brewer St): vegan “eggs,” “sausage,” and “bacon;” English tea, baked beans, toast, and mushrooms
