I never thought I could fall in love with a city as much as I’ve fallen in love with the city of London. I’ve only spent a total of 11 days there, but those 11 days have changed my life. I’ve found the city of my dreams in London, England.
The streets are filled with red double decker buses and lined with red phone booths. It looks like something out of a movie. I walk down the streets and I feel so content with my life. The streets are filled with people, but they still hold this aurora of peacefulness.
London is such a big city that you’re always able to continue exploring. I’ve been there twice and I still feel like I haven’t seen the whole city. Whether it’s shopping on Oxford Street, the hustle and bustle of Piccadilly Circus, or visiting the tourist sites of Big Ben or Buckingham Palace, London has so much to offer and has something for everyone.
So why am I completely and utterly obsessed with London?
1. The Tube
The London Underground is so impressive. I used it all the time when I was there as I way to get all around the city in minimal time. The traffic is insane and the Tube gives you a way to avoid it.
2. Oxford Street
Shopping in London is any fashionista’s dream. I love it because the city is filled with some of my favorite shops, like Topshop, H&M, Zara, Mango, and Primark. But besides all of my favorites, London has something for everyone.
3. The Tourist Sites
Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, The Tower Bridge, The London Eye—the city has so many incredible sites to see. I’ll never forget the first time I saw the beauty of Westminster Abbey, the church of the Royal Wedding, or the time I was able to see Big Ben from the London Eye.
4. Fish & Chips
Being a picky eater, I don’t like very many foods, but I know that in London I can always find something to eat. There’s a pub on almost every corner that serves fish & chips.
5. London Love
I’m in love with London. It’s an incredible city and one I hope to live in someday.
