My Favorite Memories in London
Harry Potter Warner Brother’s Studio
If you’re a Harry Potter fan, this is a must see attraction! My sister and I went the first year it opened. We booked tickets months in advance. If you’re interested in going, it never hurts to book early. Enjoy a butter beer! It tastes like a cream soda. I could easily split this with someone next time.
The scones at Fortnum & Mason
These were recommended by a Fitness Center member at my old job. Wow! The sweet butter cream and warm scone were amazing. Be sure to go to the restaurant floor and sit down to enjoy them warm. You can buy them on the lower floor, but they aren’t as good.
Buckingham Palace tour
The tour is open during the summer months. We also booked this in advance. I enjoyed touring the palace and seeing the carriages. If you’re visiting at a different time, be sure to see the changing of the guard.
Ride the London Eye
This isn’t something I would come back and do, but it’s fun to do it once. Plus, you get some great views of the city. It takes about 25 minutes to go around and it’s big enough inside to fit a car!
Visit the Tower of London
It’s not cheap, but it’s fun. Again, something I would only need to see once. I enjoyed the seeing the crown jewels the most.
Visit the Westminster Abbey & St. Paul’s Cathedral
Walking through the different cathedrals in Europe is one of my favorite things to do. There is so much detail compared to what we have in the U.S.
Walk through the Kensington Palace Gardens & Visit Hyde Park
Our hotel was close to the Kensington Palace. Since I love the colors of the different flower beds, this is a fun memory to look back on.
