Last London Weekend

Well my last weekend in London has come and gone, and it was bittersweet. It was sad to realize that my time in London is drawing to an end and that I'm going to have to pack things into the next couple of days. Also this week I have papers to work on...gross. Anyway the sweet half of bittersweet is that my mom is finally here! That basically signifies the end of the trip now that she has arrived, but I'm that much closer to France now! I've been having dreams about Paris and Nice, so you could say I'm excited. It will also be nice because I won't have work or school to stress me out, so it will be a real vacation!

Sorry about the lack of posting lately, but they will be few and far between until I'm back in the States and have the time and internet access to post on a more regular basis!

Anyways, here are a few pictures from my packed last weekend in the wonderful London:

Went to see Swan Lake at the Royal Albert Hall on Thursday.

Went to the Leadenhall Markets on Friday where Diagon Ally was filmed in the first Harry Potter movie...though I don't see the resemblance.

Went on a tour of Fuller's Brewery on Friday.

Free beer sampling after the tour.

Friday night we went to the London Zoo, which is open on Friday nights just for adults during June. It was so fun!

There was an area called the  "invisible DJ" where you could rent these light-up headphones and then go dance, so only the people with the headphones could hear the music. It was so funny to watch!

Went to see St. Paul's cathedral where Charles and Diana were married on Saturday morning.

Then we went to the Portobello Markets, which were huge and amazing! I bought some really fun stuff, but didn't get any pictures unfortunately. Also not pictured, my mom arrived to spend the next two weeks with us on Saturday!

Saturday night was the Camden pub crawl.

Some of the pubs were really cute!

Sunday morning started off walking by the Sherlock Homes house.

Then it was on to Abbey Road.

Then we ended the day with an organ recital in Westminster Abbey. I hadn't been inside the church yet so that was really fun to see. I got to walk where Will and Kate got married!

Hope you all have a great week!
