Last weekend, my boyfriend took me away to London for a couple of nights for my 21st. Our train was at 9am which was clearly too early for me as I fell asleep at the train station!
We decided to go sight seeing and also to the London Dungeons, using the underground tube to get there.
I'd recommend going to the Dungeons if you're ever stuck for anything to do in London. It's basically a walk-through story of the past 1000 years in London, ranging from Guy Fawkes, Jack The Ripper, Sweeney Todd, and the Black Plague. The actors are brilliant and really get into their parts and make you feel like you're actually there. One in particular, a baker who used human meat, pointed at Michael and told him he was succulent and juicy which had me laughing, and then she turned to me and told me I smelt :( There were times where I got a bit wimpy though such as on the ride where it goes pitch black, but other than the odd scare, it was hilarious and definitely worth going! Unfortunately, I couldn't get any pictures as they don't allow it inside the Dungeons.
We then went to see Big Ben, Houses of Parliament and The Eye, whilst getting pestered by a man dressed as a cowboy (?) who wanted £20 off us for a picture!

We then went to Bodeans, a BBQ smoke house in which Michael had been to before. I had a BBQ chicken burger, whilst Michael had pulled pork and burnt ends with a side of onion rings. The food was delish and we even treated ourselves to a pudding.
After a long and tiring day, we decided to head to Wetherspoons for a drink. It's nice that everything is within walking distance in London, but our feet were killing us and it was only day 1! Definitely too many staircases in London! We then went back to the hotel to get a good nights sleep for the next day - Harry Potter Studio Tour!!!
