Spend a Weekend in London

This past weekend I jetted off to London with one of my five flatmates! We flew down on Thursday night and returned late last night. Friday morning we woke up, and went to a delicious brunch at the Woseley. Their bread display looked delicious, but I had some of the best eggs benedict there. Next, we went to the London Eye. It was breathtaking. (Definitely buy tickets online. We had to wait 30 minutes with our online booking, but it could have been much worse) Then we did some sight seeing. We did the cliché (but oh so fantastic) afternoon tea at Harrod's. After, we did some shopping before going to see the Book of Mormon. It was fantastic. I saw it in June too, and it was just as hilarious the second time. We finished the evening with a delicious meal in Chinatown. 
Saturday we woke up early to go to Camden. I love Camden. It is so incredible, and you never know what you're going to see. There's lot of cool vendors selling souvenirs, and the food is surprisingly delicious. We had crepes by the water. We then went to Hyde Park and walked around for quite some time. After, it was time to shop again. We went to Portobello Market in Notting Hill, and it was so adorable! Saturday night we went to dinner with my flatmate's friends. We then met my godsister at a cute pub in Piccadilly Circus. 
Sunday morning we went to tower bridge. After, we met one or my friends from middle school for lunch. We then got some last minute shopping in before heading back up to Scotland. 
It was such a fun weekend! I feel like I need to sleep now, we were going nonstop the whole time. My feet are killing me, but I can proudly say that I navigated the tube like a pro. We never got lost, so I was quite impressed with myself (especially considering I get lost going anywhere in Houston)
I had a great experience and can't wait to do some more weekend traveling!
