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.

How did I choose to spend my time in London for my final visit, before travelling the world for good?

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).
