The London List: Sightseeing

-
Hello Wonderful People
 
I've now been living in London for 5 months, and it's gone by in a flash. It's one of those funny time scales where I feel like I've been in London forever, yet also seems like the time has gone by at lightning speed. I've managed to do a bit more exploring since my last sightseeing post, but I've also managed to add to my list of places I'd still like to visit! Watch this space!


Highlights:
 
Science Museum Lates
On the last Wednesday of every month the Science Museum opens its doors to over 18s for a late night session. Alcohol and food is available along with different activities, exhibitions and a silent disco. The best part? It's free!
 
 
Borough Market
I finally managed a trip to Borough Market a few weeks ago and was not disappointed!! I devoured so many samples of free cheese and treated myself to the most amazing vegetarian samosa and a chocolate fudge brownie. Food heaven!
 
Winter Wonderland
I went to Winter Wonderland for the first time ever this Christmas. Despite being a tourist trap, it's great fun! I spend a whole afternoon roasting marshmallows at a fire pit and sipping mulled wine. What more could you want on a winter day?
 
 
 
Still to see:
 
St. Pauls Cathedral - I've only ever seen this building from afar and would love to actually see it up close and personal or go inside. There's no excuse as to why I haven't visited yet.. it's on my to do list!
 
Brick lane - I've heard so much about this quirky area of London and it sounds like the kind of place I would love! My mum is visiting this weekend and I'm hoping we'll get the chance to visit!

    Hello! I saw your post through the Google community of Travel bloggers and Photographers. So lucky to live in London - I love that city! If you go over by Brick Lane, check out Tayyabs for Indian food (but make a reservation online, gets super crowded). My fav place to go in that area!

Why I'd Love to Ski in Canada & Why You Should Start Planning a Trip There Now

I know at this time of year people are usually planning trips away in the sunshine; but (if you're organised) these will have been planned for quite a few months in advance. Now is actually a good time to get ahead of the crowd and be thinking about winter holidays. Summer has just arrived and the majority of people aren’t thinking of a winter holiday just yet, so it's the perfect time to book! Plus, booking early means you can usually can get amazing prices and deals. Skiing and snowboarding holidays are such fun, even if you are a beginner! They're my favourite type of holiday so are the perfect choice for a winter getaway. I would love to ski in Canada one day, so I’m sharing my love for all things Canadian today. I've been there in the summer before, but it would be a great destination choice for a winter holiday!

Hello Wonderful People! I love being a vegetarian; I've been one all my life and would never dream of changing my eating habits. However, being veggie can be a royal pain in the a hole when travelling. There are some countries that are really good for veggies and there are others that look at you with disgust when you ask if there’s a veggie option. You’d be surprised at the amount of people who have no idea what the word vegetarian means and who offer you chicken as an alternative. The last time I checked, chicken was definitely meat. So here is a list of the best and the worst countries that  I've  been to as a veggie.

Top 5 Places I Want to Revisit

Hello Wonderful People!   As a self-confessed travel addict suffering from a sever case of wanderlust, I love nothing more than exploring new places, meeting different people and seeing new things. Therefore, once I’ve visited somewhere once I like to tick it off my list and head onto the next destination. As there are so many new places to discover in the world, I don’t want to waste my time going over old ground. Despite this, there have been several places I’ve visited where I’ve completely fallen in love and would like nothing more than to go back and do a bit more exploring. I’m completely torn between jetting off somewhere new, or going back to an old favourite, it’s a tough decision. If I were to choose the latter, these are definitely the 5 places I’d love to revisit.
