London!




Our short trip in London.

We went to london during Niko's school fall break. It was a surprise Harry Potter tour and a short london city trip for his 10th birthday. We were lucky to have a beautiful sunny weather during our 4-day stay. We did a lot of walking on the 1st day (bought the oyster travel card the next day for 3 days).

1st day
-Arrival at Gatwick Airport. We took the gatwick express train to Victoria (30 mins. Travel time)
- Hotel check-in

...And our city tour started.



-Buckingham Palace
-trafalgar square


-National Gallery



-Westminster

-Bigben


-London Eye


-Picadilly Circus


2nd day
-London Tower

-London Bridge exhibition


-Horse guard parade


-Victoria Shopping center


-Harry Potter tour
Birthday boy opening the door of Hogwarts 😄.













Bought a package in viator that includes Harry potter entrance ticket + return bus tix to avoid any hassle  😂. I also got a promo code by signing up to their newsletter, so we got a discounted price.

3rd day


-Camden Town



-Madame Tussauds


-Harrods

-Picadilly (shopping again!)



We got 2for1 offer for London bridge exhibition and Madame tussauds by printing a voucher online and showing my gatwick express return ticket. We saved a lot of money! We wanted to see some other places but we don't have enough time to cover everything in 4days. Hope to be back again soon.
