come on, Central London! :)



I consider it our Day 1 here in London. everything, the Londoner style starting with our healthy breakfast :)

mixed fruits

with honey, yogurt, and granola. YUM!

and oh, panauchocola! <3

then, off we went to explore London! :) we passed by the Brockwell Park before heading to the Herne Hill bus stop :)


rode the bus from Herne-Hill station to Horseferry road.



from there, we walked and posed at various tourist spots and great sceneries around the city. First stop: Victoria Towers Garden :)

that's the houses of parliament behind us

Buxton Memorial
The Burghers of Calais

Uncle Alan shared that Londoners/British  build sculptures for their heroes who defeated the French. But of course, he has nothing against French men :) then off we walked to where people are going gaga in preparation for the Royal Wedding.

Westminster Abbey: where the Royal Wedding will take place on the 29th

sadly, Westminster Abbey was closed for sightseeing
so, we decided to have lunch at the cafe. TRIVIA: Londoners prefer vinegar and salt for their chips. tried it and it's lovely! :)

fish and chips for lunch :)

then, to burn all the calories we gained from lunch, we walked through St. James's Park to Buckingham Palace :)


meet the Royal family. hihi
they so excited for their wedding! HAHA

then, we walked again to the Green Park where the people loved the heat, and where people are IN HEAT! hehehe



 we rested and had some ice cream at the Green Park before we went on cycling around Central London. FUN!








after half an hour, we found another cycling station where we returned our bikes. then we went to Trafalgar square, Leicester Square, Chinatown and then we had our tea time at Patisserie Valerie, Soho :)

 Uncle Alan went home early and we strolled some more :))))

we went shopping at H&M before riding the bus home. to end this post, i just want to share that London is full of ART and CULTURE. lovely!
