Since I've been a child I wanted to visit London...
Ever since I've seen Peter Pan to be honest
...and this year I finally did it!
Since I suffer from panic attacks and anxiety it was really hard for me to get on a plane. But I told myself the whole time that flying is still the saftest way to travel. And so I managed the flight without a panic attack.
I stayed in the 'YHA Oxfordstreet' which is a hostel but I booked a double room.
It is only one block away from the famous Oxford Street.
Pubs, cinemas, boutiques and nightlife is just around the corner.
And the popular Piccadilly Circus is also just a quick walk away.
I have to admit, the room was a bit small. But since I didn't spend a lot of time in it, I didn't mind.
The hostel offers a kitchen and a lounge to watch TV or eat your meal.
You can store your grocery in it - just mark it with your name.
What I also really loved about the kitchen, it is pink.
I wrote a list with things I wanted to do, and wanted to see and I managed to do most of them.
1. -Oxford Street
Oxford Street was a crazy experience. I live in little old Germany and to be honest, most of the germans are not that kind in particular situations. But the british people are so nice. That's one thing I discovered whilst shopping on the Oxford Street.
Also, the shops are so much better. And I really like the 'Self Service Checkout'.
In a nutshell - I spent way too much money.
2. -London Eye
I really wanted to see Londno from above on the London Eye. But the queue was ridiculous, so I didn't go.
Also it was a bit expensive but I'm definitely planning on doing it the next time.
3. -Big Ben
Big Ben was just amazing. It was so beautiful and I was really impressed by all the details.
I could just stand there and stare forever.
4. -Piccadilly Circus
Piccadilly Circus reminded me a bit of the Time Square in New York. Obviously it's nowhere near as big but still impressive.
5. -Buckingham Palace
I'm really into history and The Royal Family so Buckingham Palace was really something I always wanted to see. I wanted to do a tour but since it was the late afternoon it was too late.
Definitely doing it the next time.
6. -Victoria's Secret, Westminster Abbey, M&M's World And A Red Phone Box etc.
These were the things I also wanted to see but weren't my highest priority.
But I managed to see them all.
There is no VS in Germany so I got really excited when I entered the shop. So a bit money was spent.
When in London, a red phone box is a ''must-photograph'' thing on the list.
All in all the four days trip to London was amazing and something I am 100% sure I will do again.
London is just stunning and beautiful and I already miss it.
So if you consider on visiting London, definitely DO IT!
