Walking through the cityTrafalgar Square
From Trafalgar Square to Westminster Abbey, London is nothing short of things to see. The National Museum of Natural History and the British Museum are surprisingly free. Leave most of your day open for the British Museum, as it takes close to 3+ hours to make your rounds. Exploring the city is made easy with the tube, buying an Oyster card is the quickest way to go. You may hop on and off wherever you’d like, and wait times are usually less than 5 minutes. Hyde Park’s Winter Wonderland, a quick tube ride away, was filled with delicious food, music and drinks. Christmas shops lined the way as you explored its endless fun. Twinkling lights seemed to pave every street while walking through the city. If you are thinking of going to Europe, London is a “must see” on your checklist.
