I have two full days to explore the entire city of London, and I have packed a lot in these two days. I didn't end up hitting all the spots, but I tried my best and I felt like I saw a lot!
Stop #1: The King's Cross Station - Platform 9 3/4
I was a Harry Potter fan. I read all seven books and watched all seven movies. How can I not go to the platform 9 3/4! So, I went! And it wasn't as exciting as I thought. It was just a sign and a cart half-way into the wall next to the Harry Potter Shop, full of overpriced Harry Potter related products.
Stop #2: The British Museum
It is huge! One can definitely spend a whole day in this museum! It has an amazing Egyptian collection. It was slightly creepy to see a whole room full of mummies though.
The museum also has a lot of Roman stuff, and it was super cool! A lot of heads (or busts lol).
Before heading to the next destination, I was walking around a little bit and found a kaiten sushi place for lunch. I was just curious what is the quality of a random Asian restaurant in London. Conclusion: pretty decent.
Stop #3: 221B Baker Street
I love Sherlock Holmes. All-time favorite detective stories! I was a little skeptical about going into the "museum", but I did it anyways and it was not worth the money.
Stop #4: Beatles' store
On the same street, there's the Beatles' store! They have all different kinds of Beatles mugs, T-shirts, posters, etc. Pretty cool!
Stop #5: Buckingham palace
Buckingham Palace was the royal residence since 1837, and right now, it is the administrative headquarters of the Monarch. It is a place for significant national celebrations and commemorations.
Stop #6: Harrods
I heard that this is an awesome shopping mall, so I decided to check it out. There are a lot of fancy brand stuff, but I ended up in the food court and bought myself some fancy macarons.
Stop #7: High tea at Browns Hotel
High tea is definitely a thing for the British as well as Hongkongers (influenced by the British), and I decided to book myself a nice high tea in the oldest hotel in London. The tea set was supposed to be for 2 people, so I took the leftovers with me to the next stop!
Last stop: Wicked
I have watched the Phantom of the Opera too many times, so I decided to watch something different: Wicked! The Untold Story of the Witches of Oz. Two witches (Elphaba and Glinda) with completely different personalities became friends, discovered the Wizard's government was corrupt, yet they both fell in love with the same guy, which resulted in tragedy. I'm not gonna spoil it for you.
