For my fam’s last full day in London, I had a few things planned to finish our three-day tour off with a bang! We started our morning rather lazily with a visit to the Le Pain Quotidien next door to my flat to energize with bowls of caffeine and croissants before heading down to Westminster station.
Delicious coffee at Le Pain Quotidien!
We headed down to Westminster to check out the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey shortly after. My dad has toured Westminster Abbey before, but both sights were a first for Tiff!

I have done with Westminster Abbey tour before and though it’s worth every pound, I don’t know that it necessarily warrants a second visit so soon after the first. Especially considering entrance fees are 12 pounds for students (15 for adults). While they toured around, I sat in the cafe in the abbey’s courtyard enjoying a little downtime before regrouping. The verdict? Total success! Tiffany loved every second of it!
After our Westminster Abbey jaunt, we headed down to Buckingham Palace by way of St. James Park.

We were only there for a quick minute, just long enough to snap a few photos before heading out to Victoria Station. Our choice museum of the day was the Natural History Museum (one of my most favorite)! We headed down to South Kensington to explore for a few hours before heading back home. We made a pit stop in Leicester Square at a pizza/sandwich place that Tiffany had been dreaming about and then headed home to relax before our final night out in London.
Dad & T at Wicked!
To finish off our time in London right, we decided to get tickets to see Wicked at the Apollo Victoria Theatre. I have seen Wicked previously and enjoyed it so much that I thought it would be the perfect choice for my dad and sister. Luckily, I was right! They were both in love! Neither of them had seen a real musical production and I think I have successfully converted them into theatre/musical-goers!
After our last day of fun and madness in Londontown, we headed to bed as early as humanly possible (midnight) so we could be up this morning by 330A to set off for a few days in Prague! Prague Day 1 to be posted soon… stay tuned!
Lots of love,
