After visiting Paris last year it made sense to make a trip to London this time around. Celebrating our 4 year anniversary we spent 4 days in the rather luxurious Hilton Docklands Hotel. Pictures speak louder than words, so below is a selection of pictures I made with a link to their respective galleries. Enjoy!

day 1

The first day was spent visiting some of the famous London attractions nearby. Even though London isn't too far away from Antwerp, we were up quite early and had some delays along the way. To see more pics, check out the gallery of day 1

day 2

Our second day was no doubt the busiest of the bunch. London Dungeon, Madame Tussauds, trailing down Oxford Street and Carnaby Street and finishing up with The Phantom of the Opera. Want more pics, check out the gallery of day 2

day 3

The third day started off with the London Aquarium. A quick trip across the Thames and a quick peak in the Film Museum were also on our schedule. Sadly the Dali Museum had closed its door, so that one was scrapped. For even more pics, check out the gallery of day 3

london - day 4

The final day of our trip. We spent most of the day at the London Zoo, then made a quick trip to Oxford street and landed in a little bar near Carnaby Street for our last London meal. For the final selection of pics, check out the gallery of day 4

Plenty of things to do and see in London. Cool city, people there are friendly and helpful and time really flies. Even though we stayed for four days, we had a pretty full schedule.
