Kew Gardens

Trip

The Royal Botanical Garden makes you feel like being in a fairy tale. Especially in spring, when the bluebells are blossoming, the garden are a beautiful backdrop for a romantic picnic..

London Eye

Sightseeing

A "flight" on the London Eye right before sunset is just magic.

 

 
 

Greenwich

Trip

Remember geography classes at school? Locating different places with reference to...yes - The Null-Meridien! It really exists, and it really is in Greenwich and you really pronounce that place something like "Graenitch". Just as your geography teacher always said...

A boat trip down the river Thames is highly recommended.

 

 
 

 

Hidden Treasures

Museum

It is time to recommend amazing exhibitions: The Wallace Collection near Baker Street and the Sir John Soane's Museum just around the corner from the LSE.

 

 
 

 

Good Food in London? Of course!

Shopping

Fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, poultry (still wearing their feathers..), specialties from Italy, Greece, Spain, and even 'Spreewaldgurken'. The Borough Market, next to London Bridge,  is the place to be for every food-lover in London.

 

 
 

 

Oxford

Trips

Oxford, the famous place. Known and admired for possessing the original Hogwards' stairs to the great hall where Harry Potter and his friends take their meals.... Oxford also hosts he first Coffee-House in Great Britain

 
 

The Tower of London

History

How cruel can the history of one single building be? Never as cruel as that of the Tower of London. However, the stories about all the beheadings that happened inside and outside the walls, the Juwel Tower and an amazing exibition of historic armours makes the visit an unforgettable experience.

 

 

 
 

The LSE

Studies

Oh, before I forget: Of course, there was a reason why I came here apart from this exiting city: A university at the heart of London offering the best academic facilities ever seen.

 

 

 
 

London at Night

Views

There is no better view on the river and the city than that from Waterloo Bridge at night. Only Hungerford bridge gives you a better look at the illuminated House of Parliament.

 

 
 

Little Venice and Camden Town

Walk & Shopping

From little Venice along the canal to Camden town - this makes a beautiful 2 hours walk across Regents Parkt, and passing behind the zoo. Higlighted by some shopping or just a snack at the Camden Town Lock Market

 

 
 

ArchitecTour

Buildings

Along the South Bank to Hays Galleria and across the Tower Bridge to the City where people are impressed by the buildings of Lloyds of London and SwissRe.

 

 
 

Open house day

A Saturday in September

This weekend several buildings opened their doors for visitors. For example the Treasury allowed a look at its nice  inner courtyard. Big Ben made its famous sound. Only Elisabeth did not invite us in for a cup of tea...

 

 
 

Yes, it is central

Neighbourhood

As already promised, some of the most famous sights are only a few minutes away. The daily walk across Waterloo Bridge offers one of the most beautiful views on the city.

My home is my castle

 

My new flat is the place to be in town. Inside, it's so cosy....and the same time, some the greatest sights of London are only a few steps away.
