Day 1
After our planning session the night before, we had the whole day planned. We set off straight after breakfast to find a chemist before meeting up with the rest of the group at the royal Albert hall. After we found them in hyde park which was across the road. Next stop was to try and find the memorial to princess Diana, after failing we came across the river Thames where some of us tested the water temp, which was absolutely freezing. We then went to the marble arch without half of the group since they wanted to go to the War Museum. We then headed off to Buckingham Palace on a double decker bus. Next was a walk through of Trafalga Squeare with a stop at McDonald's before we followed the others to Westminster Abbey but since we didnt know how far inside the others were we explored the church that was next door. Then it was Liecester Square where we found M and M world and then bought tickets to Les Miserables for Me Gen and Jack, while the others bought Kinky Boots Tickets.

Day 2
After we arrived home the night before, we had planned today by purchasing London Passes for 66 quid. There were 8 of us who were still up to discuss this so we went along with it and went through the plan. First up was Hop on Hop off Bus to the Tower Of London which we found an awesome experience. Then we headed to the Tower Bridge where we got to walk across the paths that joined the towers which has the glass floors over the bridge and river. We then got to go down to the engines that lift the bridge. After a stop at the gift shop we headed to the Borough markets for lunch then to the London Bridge Experience which was like a horror trip through Histpry. We then up the Shard to see the cloud covered city of London. We yet again split off from the rest as both Gens and I headed home while the others went to the movies. When they got home they told us how bad the cinema was and that it was more like a home movie cinema than anything else. We had had dinner at a sushi place and came home to decide on the next days events since we had tickets to Harry Potter World.

Day 3
We got on the tube to head to Harry Potter world, but to get there we had to get on a double decker bus that was dedicated to Harry Potter world. We arrived amd had a blast going throughbthe making of Harry Potter and we got to try Butter Beer and Butter Beer Ice-cream at the cafe inside the tour. We continued on then spent a ehile in the gift shop before we went to Kings Cross station, the home of platform 9 and 3/4, which was not very interesting in the end. Another Maccas lunch later, we headed back since it was getting late. We stopped at a Tescos to get a 3 quid meal and also some microwave meals. We decided that the next day would be a museums day.

My group decided to start the day at the Sciemce museum before heading to the natural history museum then maccas for lunch and Harrods to look around. We then headed to Piccadilly Circus to get to China Town for Dinner at a buffet restaurant before we went to our West end show.

We didnt want to leave. We had had a blastnin London and were exhausted but still loving out London week. We set about getting ready to leave and stored our luggage in the basement. We then set out on our final day exloring London. We decided on the Victoria and Ablert Museum before heading to an English Afternoon Tea with the other group. Then we headed back to BP house to pick up our bags and catch the tube to the Airport. We said good bye to Andy and Lise before we went through security.
