For a while now London has been at the top of my list of places to visit and back in November I finally visited! So many people claim that it's their favourite city so I went with suuuuper high hopes (no pressure, London!) and I can definitely say I was not disappointed.
We - my family and I- went on a coach trip for the weekend to see the sights as well as to see the West End show Wicked (which was a-mazing!!).
I visited Covent Garden Square which was so beautiful and possibly the prettiest market I've ever been in. It was also completely unexpected as whenever I've people talk about it I'd imagined an actual square garden with flowers and benches, surrounded by shops so it was a pleasant surprise for me to see what it actually is! We also saw Big Ben, the London Eye, Trafalgar Square and Buckingham palace as well as taking a stroll through St. James' Park, the Soho area and down Oxford Street - the Lush store is mahusive!
Also, despite all the buses, which were literally everywhere, we decided we'd walk around instead which meant I got funny looks from everyone as I attempted to SatNav my way around with my Maps app, haha!
The definite highlight of the entire trip though was seeing Wicked on the West End. I love a good musical and this is easily one of my faves! I genuinely teared up during 'Defying Gravity' because Elphaba's vocals were insane! I loved it so much I'm going back in February to see it again! :)
Which cities are your favourite? Let me know where else I should try and visit.
Love, Grace x <3
