On Tuesday, myself and a large bunch of fellow photography students at my university were lucky enough to go into London for the day. Seeing as I live in London and have done all my life, this was something that I have done plenty of times before, yet I can never say no to a trip into Central London - especially if the weather was as amazing as it was AND it was St George's day!
After a very interesting train journey which included wandering around Waterloo train station to find the group and being told by some lovely old lady that myself and one of my best friends would have 'stunning babies with beautiful eyes' - we finally made it into London.

The weather was amazing! A fair few of the group were in vest tops and shorts, which, if you live in the UK, is somewhat a big deal! I mean - being about to stand outside in that type of clothing in the biopolar weather England has been recieving recently and feeling brave enough to go to the entire day is a good sign summer is on its way!
The activities for the day was pretty much walking around London in the sunshine (which you can't really complain about) and along the way, visit some of the iconic landmarks, including the 'London Stone, London Eye, Southbank, 'The Monument' and so on.

| 311 steps to get to the top of the Monument! |
 |
| If you ever want a good workout... going up then down these stairs is a lot of hard work! |

On our first stop, being a bad group of students, we decided that having a little sunbathe on the grass along the River Thames with ice creams and a Starbucks was a far better choice than walking around a gallery. I can't express how beautiful London really is, especially like I said when the weather is lovely and you have special events happening - like in my case it was St George's day so the pubs were full of patriotic Britons soaking up the sunshine with their Pimms and beers :)
 |
| Picnic time! |
After our little *ehem* long, sunbathe and picnic - we continued visiting other landmarks around London!
Instead of rambling on. I though I would just take some pictures to show you! If you have never been to London, I really recommend you do! It really is a beautiful place and you can really make a lovely day out of it!
Enjoy :)
