    Finally after 40 years of my life, I will be landing in London in 6 days. Staying for two weeks. I live in Miami Florida and I am absolutely not prepared for the cold 😅 at all. In fact, I bought my boots today because I only have sandals 😅. Wish me luck. Merry Christmas everyone. 🎄

      Don’t worry, It’s very mild in London at the moment (between 7- to 10°) so cold by Florida standards, but you won’t freeze. Hope you have a great trip!

    I’d suggest looking at the dressed windows of Fortnum and Masons in Piccadilly, which are generally the most artistic of any store, really world-class. Plus the arcades there like the Burlington Arcade and Piccadilly Arcade, which always look great.

    So enjoyable! I know that these represent specific religious traditions, but travelers should consider visiting Westminster Abbey, St. Paul’s Cathedral, or Westminster Cathedral during the holidays. The settings are spectacular, the choirs are astonishing, and cost of attendance is low. Plus, angelic choristers in choir robes is such an English experience.

    Just back from our 2nd visit to London. I would definitely say my favourite time was April at the marathon. Totally different experience without a doubt. The London marathon everyone was happy and hyped it was great. Even on the over filled tubes. This time I was shoved, pushed out the way of photos etc if I hadn’t seen them. Too many people wanting that social media photo over actually having a great time. All in all we still had a fab time. We enjoyed winter wonderland, but I would say Tik tok/ Instagram makes it look better than it actually is. It’s just an over sized Christmas market. Not a negative experience though, just a totally different one from the last visit. The shopping experience and food experience however was absolutely amazing. We do look forward to coming back.

    Second, I love London ( pun not intended but I like it )and I’m so sad I’m not there now to see all this in person!! So thank u for the next best thing ❤
    We were there in late October- only for 3 days but we went to Dishoom in Carnaby based on ur recommendation- thank you it was great and very lucky we had made a booking!!
    The lights were up @ that point but not yet being switched on 😢
