While this was not our first trip to London (in fact I’m quickly losing count as we go through London often), we spent our first day upon arrival wandering the city and taking in some of our favorite spots. Each trip to London we try to hit a couple places different than the last trip, as the city is so big and there is no way to see it all in a short amount of time. This time around we decided we wanted to go through the British Musuem again (steps from our base at the Bloomsbury Hotel) as well as making it back to Notting Hill which we hadn’t made it through since our Honeymoon 3 years ago.
We enjoyed a lovely afternoon stroll through the neighborhoods of London and ended our night with a gorgeous sunset and a night stroll along Portobello road. London is always a fantastic city with an energy all its own. It was especially magical with the holidays in full swing and as always, we thoroughly enjoyed a day wandering around one of our favorite cities!

I love London! My boyfriend is living there right now, so I head there pretty often and I’m usually left super jealous that he lives there and I don’t! 😉 There’s just so much to do and so much to explore that you can return time and time again! 🙂
Casey Martin says
Isn’t it amazing! I am loving all your photos from London recently 🙂

The British Museum is my favourite place to visit when I lived in London. I would go every two weeks and soak up everything I was seeing and buy far too much stuff in the shop. I became a ‘friend’ of the museum and loved getting special invites to things. Oh, I am so jealous!

I am so jealous. I visited London in 2011 and it was the best experience! I loved the city, the history and the people. I would go back in a heartbeat.
Casey Martin says
It’s such a fantastic city! And repeat trips are honestly the best there because you see things that you never saw before! 🙂
