The first time I visited London was in 2004. At that time I couldn't visit all the places on my bucket list so I knew I had to come back at some point. Eleven years later my boyfriend suggested we traveled to England's capital to celebrate our anniversary and I couldn't say no. In order to prepare for the trip I created Pinterest board to pin all the places worth seeing. I was especially looking for hidden gems, those places where most tourists don't go to. Of course we also visited London's landmarks.
When I talk about gems I mean places like Neal's Yard. It’s a pretty small little courtyard, but a fun stop if you’re in the Covent Garden area in London. This colorful yard is an oasis for tourists. We stopped there to have a rest and a cup of hot chocolate with delicious pastries.
The Churchill Arms is another must see. Famed for the beautiful flowers and hanging baskets that tumble out onto the street, The Churchill Arms has been a 'London in Bloom' winner two years in a row. Renowned for centuries, it was once frequented by Winston Churchill's grandparents Unfortunately, the pub has just been going under renovations so not all the flowers were there. Be sure to check out their website to see what it normally looks like. It's a feast for the eyes!
Part 2 of the photo diary is coming. Stay tuned for more London goodies!
