London Guide

My time in London was far too short.

I didn’t even get to go to 221B Baker Street.

I also logged over 31k steps in a day, it was astounding.

Eats

The best meal I had in England was on the ferry ride from France to England. Beans on toast actually hits.
Pimlico Traditional Fish And Chips – An absolutely enormous amount of fries (wait, I mean chips), and fish. Was it very good? No. Was it still something I’d recommend you try? Yes.
Greggs – I was recommended to go here by a friend for a classic English experience in the form of a meat pie. I do not believe that’s an experience one needs.

White Cliffs of Dover – Absolutely stunning. This was such a memorable first glimpse of England. If you arrive from sea, definitely try to arrive from the south.
The National Gallery – One of the best perks of England: most museums are free. Truly nontrivial, world-class works on every wall.
Trafalgar Square –I wish I had more time to just sit and people-watch for an hour or two.
Hyde Park – Beautifully expansive and serene. Hard to believe such calm exists in the heart of a buzzing city.
Buckingham Palace – Catch the Changing of the Guard on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays at 11:00 AM.
The Shard – Saw it, didn’t go up — next time I might. Still impressive from the ground.
London Eye – Saw it.
St. Paul’s Cathedral – Once the tallest building in London, designed to bring you spiritually (and physically) closer to God. You feel the intention.
Big Ben – Truly stunning. I swear I noticed a subtle lean with my own eyes — or maybe that was just awe.
Palace of Westminster & Westminster Abbey – Absolutely intricate. So much detail, it feels carved out of time.
House of Commons – Not enough yelling.
Tower of London – Has an eerie feel to it, for understandable reasons.
London Bridge – Fun to walk across!
