See London’s Sites in Just One Day!

This post is sponsored by Adagio Teas UK London Collection Tea

This past Easter weekend My Uncle came to spend a day with me in London from Paris. It was only a short trip but due to my amazing travel planning ; ) (check out my pics on Instagram), he was able to see quite a lot in London (more about my life in London here) in just one day. Due to some rail replacement, the Met line wasn’t running from our area to Wembley so we jumped on our rail replacement bus. Our first stop was Baker Street to see 212b Baker Street. I’ve just recently started watching Sherlock but of course, I’m a huge fan of detective-ing anyways.

After Baker Street, we hopped on the 453 Bus to Westminster. I’ve got to tell you this bus line was amazing for so many reasons, besides the fact that it was 1.50 GBP, but you got to see so many iconic London landmarks and streets such as Regent’s Park, Oxford Circus, Piccadilly Circus, Regent Street, Trafalgar Square, Houses of Parliament. Click here for the full route.

 

 

We got to explore Westminster Pier, Westminster Bridge, take tons of pics with Big Ben and stopped by Westminster Abbey. We then decided to take a long walk to Buckingham Palace and took a stroll through Green Park which I loved and had never been to. If you want to do the park properly you can rent a striped lawn chair : )

 

 

Next, we were off to Covent Garden for some afternoon tea at the Delaunay, because you can’t come to London and not have Afternoon Tea right? After resting our feet for a long while and had loads of tea (so lots of trips to the loo) we walked to Trafalgar Square and got to soak in some sun.

It was a beautiful afternoon in London so there were loads of people in Trafalgar. By then we were both pretty knackered so we hopped on the 15 bus at Charing Cross which is a popular tourist line (I like the 453 better) and headed to our last stop of Tower of London. We even walked over Tower Bridge which I had never done before! We ended the day by meeting up with Sonny to have a curry. It was a successful sightseeing day in London. Keep Scrolling for my breakdown of the day.
