London Day 3

Oh, hello-hello! This was the post I was supposed to do last night but Blogger app didn't stop crashing, so I'm trying to get this up today. 

This was the day we properly got to discover London with our list of places we wanted to see. So we left our hotel early to take a train to Tottenham Hale and from there, jump on an underground. I've taken underground once before, not too long ago when I visited Czech Republic for a conference. Unlike Czech Republic, the underground trains are surprisingly hot, but otherwise I like how fast they could take you to different places and you always know which one to take.

We left the underground in Warren Street station that took us right to Central London, and I looked at my surroundings with starry eyes and dropped jaw. This city is amazing and the architecture is so gorgeous!!!! We didn't know where to start so we just went straight ahead for a bit, and the first place on our way was Couldare Gallery which looked amazing. There were other cool places too, so here's a little photo dump below.

Then we decided we wanted to start with the Tower Bridge, but since it was too far away, we took one of those double decker buses, which was a cool experience on its own. Even for a typically rainy day, the Tower Bridge was crowded, but the view was very much worth it! 

Our next stop was London Bridge, which was less crowded, and if I got to choose between the though, I think I also liked the Tower Bridge a little better. Then we headed to Soho, and it's probably my favorite place around London, along with Covent Garden. It all looks very Bohemian and different in a good way. 

There was also some kind of a street show going on around Covent Garden, but we didn't stay there too long because it was raining and my friend was getting cold. We had a quick lunch (or dinner since it was around 4 o'clock), and then we were heading back to the hotel. We took another double decker to Tottenham Hale train station, and man was it a long ride there! It took about an hour or so. By the time we had also met enough people and even interacted with them, so our impression of English people is that they're very helpful and friendly. It doesn't happen in Estonia that strangers want to have a small talk with you, just like that police officer on our bus that was sitting in front of us on his way back to the station. Neither do Estonian people help you or offer help when they see you're struggling with something, unlike the English... or at least the ones we came in contact with. But I guess this is all about yesterday. Stay tuned for the next post 😘
