LONDON | Oh Why, Oh Why, Would I Wanna Be Anywhere Else?



London, the trip that almost never happened. After getting to the airport my flight got cancelled and with limited time in London already I was afraid getting delayed wouldn't allow me to explore as much as the city as I wanted. I thankfully got rerouted and arrived 5 minutes before I was supposed to get there originally.

This was my first time in England and I loved it. I know London isn't an accurate representation of the country, but still it gave me a very good impression of the country and it's people. The city seemed like a collection of cute little urban villages strung together to make a huge urban area. The people were so nice, everything was so clean, and the transit really puts our largest city to shame. If immigration wasn't so difficult I'd be on my way over there right now.

Soundtrack:

Thanks for stopping by!

P.S - More pictures from London can be seen on my flickr.

These photos are most impressive. They offer the most comprehensive view of London that I've seen yet.

After living there I can say you definitely captured Central London, an that without going too touristy at the same time.
