London is one of my favourite places to travel back too! You never get to travel all off London the first time.  Some of my favourite places in London to visit would be Buckingham Palace, London Eye, The Shard and Ice bar. The Ice bar is a very cool place to visit, it is -5oc but it was a very fun experiment. I cant wait to go back!That is my sister and I in the picture enjoying cocktails in the icebar which was very tasty! 😀

There is many museums that are free to get into in London like Tate Modern, National gallery, British museum and National History museum, This is the entrance to the national history museum which is very cool..and I would highly recommend you go!

There is many parks to walk around but my favourite park is the Hyde park. It’s one of the largest parks in London!

I would recommend that you purchase a London pass. Now it may be a bit dear for students as it is £67, but it is well worth it  believe me, as you can visit many different places. If you just visited these 4 places alone, Tower of London, The view of Shard, Thames River Cruise and London bridge experience (which is the scariest attraction in London), You would save over £110  just by having this London Pass. The ticket can be easily found on this website below.

Places I would highly recommend is Madams Tussaud’s, Harrods if you like shopping even tho you prob wont be able to afford anything in there 😛 Oxford street– street full of shops and a huge Penney’s for the ladies!! Camden markets, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and Tower of London.

I would recommend though that u purchase an Oyster card. An oyster card is a electronic ticket for travelling that can work on underground trains, overground trains and buses, which can be easily found on the link below. Usually when I go over to visit my sister I put around £20 on it and that will do me for the weekend usually 2-3 days. Underground tubes are an excellent way of transport in London. It is a very fast, cheap way to get around. What I didn’t realize though when I first went to London, that going down on the escalator  you have to stand on the right side as it is rude to stand on the left side of the escalator as people are rushing and running down the escalator so if you are not in a rush stand on the right hand side of the escalator!
