My London Bucket List, London, England
On a crisp Autumn day, my friend and I took a day trip to London with one purpose - to tick off three of my very own bucket list items!
Before we left the UK for good, I wanted one more chance to visit my country’s capital. There are so many things to do in London, and as a UK resident, I had done most of them over the years. There are still more London attractions that I have yet to see, but on this particular day, I was excited to tick off three. How did I choose to spend my time in London for my final visit, before travelling the world for good?
London England is one of the most famous capital cities in the world. The UK is not a large Country but its multi-cultural capital is bursting with exciting places to see. It has been a major settlement for two thousand years, and is jam packed with history, culture, old buildings and secret alleyways and, if walls could talk, would tell a thousand stories. With so many things to see and do, it’s easy to see why it’s the world’s most-visited city (measured by international arrivals).
