Visiting London

April 30, 2009 · Posted in Travelling · 1 Comment

Taking a short break from my university studies , I decided to visit London. That was my forth time in UK but my first stay in London. The other three times I was mainly visiting Liverpool . Once in London, I rose to the chance and enjoyed a wonderful musical (again!) : Lion King. Seriously guys, this is something you must experience at least once in your life. The atmosphere was extraondinary , the music was simply awesome and the actors were brilliant. Two years ago I did a quick stop in London ,before going to Liverpool, in order to enjoy another musical: Phantom of the Opera. It, too, was amazing!

Since I am a crazy Chelsea fun, I obviously took the first tube to Chelsea’s Stadium, Stamford Bridge .Luckily that day ,there was a Champions League match between Chelsea and Liverpool. OMG; what a game! :)

Easter day was awsome. We end up having feast with friends at Gerrards’ Cross . It is a quite nice village, only 20′ out of central London.

We , as in Greek people , consider food as a top priority :). Las inguanas was a great place to taste spicy food and have exotic drinks :). I strongly suggest to give it a shot if visiting London.

IMAX 3D cinemas was another amazing experience. Unfortunately, It’s very unfortunate we don’t have these in Greece. We watched “Monsters VS Alliens” which was quite entertaining.

On the last day we visited Hyde Park. It was a unique experience. I could never image such a park could exist in a city of that size. I wonder why Athens doesnt have such places …

I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by the way London’s residents respect their city and the envroment.

Overall, I really enjoyed that trip and I will definitely be revisiting London:)
