Summer Adventures: London


Buckingham Palace

Before heading off to Cambridge for the summer, I enjoyed a long weekend in London. I haven't been  in years so it was amazing to go back and experience it again. Although it rained a bit (of course!), the weather was perfect for going out and exploring the city. I was able to visit a few churches (including Southwark Cathedral where John Gower "The First English Poet" lived and is buried), tour the Tower of London, catch the matinee performance of Wicked, wander the market on Portobello Road in Notting Hill, and squeeze in some shopping on Oxford Street. While it was a jam-packed weekend, I wouldn't have had it any other way.
