London :)

I would encourage every Abbey student to visit the beautiful and historical city of London. My friend Lindsey and I traveled to London the first two days of our spring break. We flew East Jet and yes it was affordable however we learned if you do not have to check any luggage than it makes your trip alot easier and less stressful. Also, if you do have carry on luggage make sure it fits in a small back pack. Saying that you should keep in mind that the less you pack the better your trip will be. We flew into London Luton. This airport is 45 min. outside of the city. DON'T STRESS. You just ask for a bus ticket to the train station and from there you take the train inside the city. The train will arrive at a tube station. The tube is their subway system. So clean and so easy to opperate. Buy an Oyster Card it will come in handy because buying individual tickets will get old and expensive. In this post I have included the link to the hostel we stayed at. It was in the Kennsington District the location was perfect Lindsey and I walked everywhere. We went to these places and I encourage you to go: Big Ben( must see), Houses of Parliament, and Westminster Abbey( all right by each other too). Westminster's Abbey is incredible it holds so much history my favorite part is the Poet's Corner. Also see all the government buildings, Buckingham Palace(changing of the guard is a must see), Kennsington Palace, Tower of London(where Anne Boleyn was killed and crown jewels are held), London Bridge, St Paul Cathdral(beautiful), and Shakesphere's Globe. Something special about London are its parks. Be sure to visit St. James and Hyde park. With only being there for two days I wasn't able to see any musuems, BUT go London's Imperial War museum is suppose to be amazing as well as the British History musuem. Be sure and see plays too and if you are into shopping go to Harrods. I hope this has helped. Know that London is very safe and clean. The people of kind and appreciate visiters wanted to learn in their city. Be sure to go to a pub grab a beer and get you some fish and chips :) :) http://www.hostelworld.com/hosteldetails.php/Astor-Kensington/London/19000?source=googleadwordshostelsbyname&gclid=CLnOu8zAwKECFQ-Y2AodyB6xEQ
