I love London.
I'm from the countryside. A small rural area that really has nothing going for it. A previous mining town, it hasn't exactly recovered from the closure of them. High quantities of people on benefits and living in council estates. Aside from the occasional crime and police helicopter, life here is pretty much sedimentary.
So when I'm faced with going to a massive city - the capital city, the senses explode. There's so much to do, see, hear! It's overwhelming and I love it!
I got my boyfriend hooked on it too, and now twice a year we embark on 'the London trip'.
It really was just a glorified Christmas shopping trip with us battling the crowds of Oxford Street and working our way through the numerous Christmas markets that spring up for a few weeks and then disappear. The most impressive of which is the Hyde Park Winter Wonderland - a must see for every age. It's hard to believe that the structure isn't permanently embedded there all year around. It's jam packed full of rides, stalls and bars and restaurants, complete with it's very own ice rink.
The only other purpose of going to London was to see Bill Bailey. He was fantastic live! So full of enthusiasm and gust! Definitely go to see him if you get the chance!
Here's a few pictures of our time in London :)
