London, England: London Bridge

The London Bridge is your typical destination spot when going to London. I fell in love with it because it was everything London meant to me in one massive stone construction. I hope you enjoy the photos!

London, England: Tower of London

The Tower of London was a neat locale.  Just across the bridge, you can enter this old fortress and feel like you really are caught in a time warp.  The only thing I didn’t like was the claustrophobic stairwells… They were unpleasant to walk up and went around and around in circles.  I nearly had a panic attack and fainted.  Seriously.

London, England: Kensington Palace

Another of the royal family’s dwellings.  I wish I lived in a palace.  Yep, I said it.  I want to be a princess.

London, England: Picadilly Circus

It’s London’s version of Times Square and it didn’t disappoint.

London, England: Trafalgar Square

This was my very, very, very first glimpse at London and it set the tone for the two weeks that I was there.  I walked out of the tube and right into Trafalgar Square and burst into tears. :)  I was 19, halfway around the globe, traveling solo yet it was the most exhilarating feeling I’ve ever felt.

London, England: Highgate Cemetary

I went through a period in time where I was obsessed with old cemetaries.  So, when I planned my trip to London, I thought, “What cemetary can I go to that will really give me the sense of being in a super old graveyard?”  I came across Highgate Cemetary where Karl Marx’ bust is and the rest of the place was utterly divine.

Only downside… Twenty minutes after walking into the cemetary, I was hit with a migraine that nearly made me vomit.  Weird huh?

London, England: Buckingham Palace

Buckingham Palace was just as I expected it to be.  Glorious, over the top, luxurious and grandiose.  The only thing I wasn’t expecting was how small the balcony looked from where I stood.  You know the one I’m talking about… Where the royal family gives their speeches, waves, etc.
