TRAVELING
Woke up in London Yesterday…
Lo n d o n r e s i d e n c e a n d a d m i n i s t r a t i ve
headquarters of the monarch of the United
Kingdom. It's an amazing feeling to be there,
it's like you are touching history, as it reminds
you of all the historical moments, that you've
seen on TV, which took a place right there.
Standing in front of Buckingham Palace, you
can see the London Eye as well.
My trip to London was pretty short, so I
wasn't lucky enough to visit everything, but
one of the “must see” places is definitely
Tower Bridge. I fell in love with the view of this
bridge. It looks amazing in daylight and at
night. No wonder it became an iconic London's
attraction. Tower Bridge is very often
confused with London Bridge – they are 2
different bridges. Always remember about it.
If you are in London for shopping,
Piccadilly Circus is a perfect place for you. It's
a road junction and public space of London's
West End in the City of Westminster. In this
area you will find lots of stores, restaurants
and pubs. In its neighborhood is Chinatown – a
bit of China in London. This place is also worth
visiting, especially if you are a fan of Chinese
food and culture.
I wouldn't be myself, if I didn`t mention
another famous place in London – Abbey
Road. Music fans know what I'm talking about.
It's not only a street in London, it's also a title
of the studio album by a legendary British
band the Beatles and a name of the recording
studio. If you are near, don't be surprised if you
meet a famous musician. It is very likely.
When you are in London, you just have
to visit a London pub. They are usually open till
19
SUNRISE
23:00. I was in karaoke pub. It was such a fun!
You have a chance to meet Londoners in their
free time, talk to them and have a great time
together. All this in a comfortable and nice
atmosphere. Totally recommended.
The last place I would like to mention is
Wembley Arena, next to the famous Wembley
Stadium. This venue is used for various events,
mostly music ones. I got there by a modern
version of an iconic red double decker bus and
it was fun, until I got to know what London's
traffic jam means. Just remember – if you have
to be somewhere on time, go by the Tube, not
a bus!
You probably wonder where I lived.
That's a good question. I have a really good
friend, who had moved to London some time
ago and she had kept inviting me over and over
again, but I didn't have time, I thought it's too
far away and I was always finding an excuse
not to go there. That's a mistake that people
these days are doing all the time. Tell yourself
that you only live once, so why not? We live in
times, when everything is really cheap –
flights, hotels – everything, so why we can't
use it? It's for us! I was really surprised, when I
was booking flights, as I didn't pay much.
Moreover my friend had invited me and I didn't
have to pay for a lodging. But if I hadn't been
invited, I'm sure I would have found a cheap
option, like I did when I went to Vienna. But it's a
different story.
