London Part Two

Oh boy oh boy oh boy… On day four we went to the Harry Potter Studio Tour. Jealous?  That’ll be it’s own post.

After the set tour, we took a quick break at the flat and then headed off to see Sweeney Todd!!  The theatre was in West End, so we got to walk around and explore before the show.  I treated myself to Laduree Macaroons which were pricey, but delicious.  The rose ones were amazing, and I got to feel fancy carrying around the bag.  Then we went to the Adelphi Theatre to see Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.  It was such a perfect show to see in London, although Mom was a bit shocked at the violence.  Still, the show was fantastic.  Guess who played Mrs. Lovett?  Imelda Staunton, AKA Dolores Umbridge. She was incredible.  After the show, we took an exceptionally long bus ride home.

On my last day (I left a day early) we had SUCH a nice day.  The weather was finally warm, so we took a nice long walk to Abbey Road, then we wandered around until we found a lunch place.  We sat outside at this Lebanese place and oh my god it was good.  The weather was so pleasant, which made it perfect.  Then we went to Regent’s Park to walk around.  We were going to go to Harrods, but the busses were taking too long so we decided to go home and take a nap before our Olympic Walk Tour (we did a lot of walking!).  The tour was pretty cool.  The guide told us why London was chosen, because they were going to focus a lot on community regeneration in the East London areas that would stay in effect after the Olympics were over.  Also they’re focusing a lot on environmentally friendly actions so good for them! We got to see the Olympic Park and all of the buildings, so it’ll be neat to associate those with what we see during the TV broadcasts of the games. 

Clearly we needed sun

Our flat!
