LONDON, LONDON, LONDON. THIS CITY RESEMBLES MANHATTAN IN ITS HUSTLE AND BUSTLE, ITS OLD ARCHITECTURE, AND ITS HIPSTER POP-UPS. I SPENT AN ENTIRE DAY WALKING THE CITY FROM FRONT TO BACK (WITH A FEW SHORT SUBWAY RIDES DURING THE RAIN). I STARTED MY DAY WITH A RESERVATION (THANKS TO A SWEET FRIEND WHO KNEW THIS WAS NEEDED) AT THE SKY GARDEN. IT IS THE HIGHEST PUBLIC GARDEN IN LONDON AND THE VIEWS OF THE CITY ARE TRULY BREATHTAKING. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ON YOUR DAY IN LONDON.
NEXT UP WAS BIG BEN. IT IS LIKE THE STATUE OF LIBERTY, SOMETHING YOU JUST HAVE TO DO DESPITE HAVING TO DEAL WITH LARGE CROWDS OF TOURISTS. THE PARLIAMENT BUILDING AND WESTMINSTER ABBY ARE LITERALLY ON THE SAME BLOCK WHICH MAKES THIS STOP WORTH IT. I REALLY ENJOYED EXPLORING JUST OUTSIDE OF THIS AREA AND WALKING ALONG THE PARKS.
