So from the 5th December till the 7th December, me, my mother and two sisters visited London. (Unfortunately my dad was working). After everything that has happened throughout this year, we had to get away and the 5th December was also my 19th birthday so what way better to spend your birthday than in London???
We decided to travel to London by car which took around 4 hours, we would've taken the train but I'm not really a lover of trains. After a long journey and many toilet stops (try travelling with a pregnant sister), we finally arrived. We stayed in Kingsbury which was just one tube stop off Wembley Stadium, the tubes ran frequently too which was good with it being as cold as it is in England.
The first place we wanted to visit was the Winter wonderland in Hyde park. Before I went to London I wasn't feeling in the christmas spirit but after Winter wonderland, I definitely am now!
Hyde park's Winter Wonderland, was filled with christmas decorations, markets (which included food, ornaments, christmas decs, alcohol, hot drinks and clothes!) and fair ground rides. Obviously with it being London, the Park was packed with people so it was hard to get round the whole park without missing anything out. With my sister being pregnant, we chose to not go on any rides because it wouldn't have been fair to make her watch us have fun when she couldn't. So instead, we stuck to looking through the markets.
The market section was called "Angels Market", Winter Wonderland sticking to the theme of Christmas obviously. Angels Market was the cutest, the market stalls were set up like little cabins, it was so adorable.
Without a doubt, London is a beautiful place and with it decorated with Christmas lights, it just made it that little bit more special. Now I'm completely in the mood for Christmas and I definitely can't wait to visit London again.
When we were in London, we couldn't walk too far with my sister being 7 months pregnant so we decided to stick to shopping for the whole weekend rather than go sight-seeing too much, hopefully I will return to London soon to sight-see.
