About ME
Hi!
I'm Mara, thanks for visiting my blog! I will be traveling around the world for the next years and explore amazing places in different countries! I am always seeking Adventures, Good Food, Martial Arts Experiences, Unique and sometimes Weird Stuff. \(^o^)/
LONDON
Heyah!
First of all, I have to say that London is one of my absolute favorite cities. Not only because of the Oxford Street, but there's also China Town, great Concerts and Comedians! I just love being there and go around by foot, because everything is so close. Otherwise, you can use your Oyster Card and take the Bus or Underground Metro. The last time I visited London, I took the Bus more often, just because I wanted to see the surrounding and find some nice spots for pictures, food or whatever I was up to.
So, I won't write any longer and go straight to the things, that I think you really have to see once you're in London.
Let's Go!
OXFORD STREET
Buy an Oyster Card and use the UNDERGROUND but also some of the BUSES ! The view from the 2nd floor is pretty cool!
Go Shopping at OXFORD STREET, because it's a must! Even if you're not the big Shopping Queen like me, even you will find something cheap at PRIMARK.

SHOPPING
Start at Oxford Circus Station and follow the Regent Street in the SOHO DISTRICT. Turn right on the Great Marlborough Street and you will come across some unique stores like BEYOND RETRO.
SIGHTSEEING
Do the Westminster Tour including LONDON EYE, BIG BEN, LONDON DUNGEON - Please visit the Dungeon it's incredible funny and scary uuuuhuu (there is also the Guards Museum and St. Margaret's Church, which I haven't visited because of the huge crowed. Also the Sea Life was very disappointing)

MARKET
Get inspired at CAMDEN MARKET! There are so many Markets but Camden is really worth to see, also the London Bridge Borough Market is delicious!

CHINA TOWN
Visit CHINATOWN, because you will love it! I love Asia and it was really hard to get me away from there, I'm always going more than once there to buy my sesame or red bean filled bread at the CHINA TOWN BAKERY! Or matcha ice cream or Taiyaki! Oooh i miss it so much!
The LEICESTER SQUARE is right there too, you can visit the LEGO Store, watch a MOVIE or MUSICAL. It's very lively and loud, there are a lot of delicious restaurants too, just like countless touristic stores.

APPLE MARKET
The Apple Market is also close by and can easily reached by foot.
CAN YOU FIND THIS HIDDEN GEM?
...
TRAFALGAR SQUARE
The TRAFALGAR SQUARE is just down the road. It's nice to take a break and watch street artists doing their art, and business guys running around at the same time. Just grab a coffee and relax on the stairs.
PARK
Take a walk at HYDE PARK or REGENTS PARK. It's beautiful during the whole year, once you're there you almost don't realize that you're actually in a city!
OTHER ATTRACTIONS
You should definitely visit SKY GARDEN you'll have a great view over London and the London Towers are nearby.
Go to Hogwarts! Find the hidden PLATFORM 9 3/4 at the Kings Cross Station and follow Harry Potter and his friends! Don't forget to buy your Wand!

LAST BUT NOT LEAST
At last ENJOY YOURSELF! London is an amazing city with so many things to do, to buy and to eat. You should do all the things you usually can't do, take your time and don't think of your stay as holidays, but as you'd life there. Go out, meet some people, enjoy a concert and for real BUY A BREAD IN CHINATOWN BAKERY!!!!!
