On Tuesday I'm off to London for a week, which I am really excited about. Last time I was there, two years ago, I was only there for three days and didn't get to see very much (since I spent most of my time shopping, evidently). So, this time, I've been doing some research to find out what exactly I want to do.
That list includes, going to Spitafields market, which I've heard is great - for both food and shopping.
Nearby, Brick lane is located, which should be great for vintage finds and exotic food.
Then, I want to see London's Chinatown, as I've never been to Chinatown in any city.
I want to go to Hyde park, or Regent's park, or both, as I didn't go there last time.
And I suppose these museums are rather compulsory; the Tate Modern and the British Museum.
But, I also plan on going to the Bethnal Green Museum of Childhood, for a bit of nostalgia. No, I'm not that old, but old-fashioned toys are so nice to look at.
Last, but not least, I want to have a picnic at Hampstead Heath, since the view is great, and it looks really nice.
Oh, and I nearly forgot. I so much want to see a musical in London, so that is a must, too.
I will be seeing other things as well since I am going with my boyfriend who loves architecture. I'm not that into it, but I suppose I'll just have to tag along. At least, he'll have to come to the places I want to see, too.
I hope you didn't think I wasn't going to do any shopping - I am, absolutely. I have also made a little list of the places I plan to go to.
Quite a few vintage shops; Beyond Retro, Rokit, Bang Bang Clothing exchange, and Absolute Vintage.
I also plan to go to Harrods, which may be a little cheesy, but I wasn't there last time either.
Top Shop and Urban Outfitters are both shops I must go to, but also Kiehl's, Marc Jacobs, Selfridges, A.P.C., and Cath Kidston...
Are there any other places that I need to see, or go to, or do?
