Friday Favourites - A day in London

Yesterday I went on a history trip to London with friends from Sixth Form. The weather was really warm and the sun was shining, which is a nice change for the British weather. We had a walking tour of London which started at St. Pauls Cathedral. We walked to some beautiful and peaceful areas that I had not visited before. I took a few photographs below, but I decided not to take many and just enjoy walking in the sunshine.

We then walked back over the Millennium Bridge, which was a good stop for group photographs. We spent some time sitting on the grass in front of the Tate Modern, then walked to Embankment to get the tube to travel to the Victoria and Albert Museum. It was entertaining watching my friends who had never been on the tube come to terms with the ticket machine and the rush to get on the train.

As I've said before the V&A is one of my favourite places in London, so I was happy to spend two hours wandering around the exhibitions and sitting outside. After that it was back on the tube to Oxford Circus to meet the other group and get the coach home. We waited at a café in Oxford Street which was surprisingly quite. We all liked talking and watching the world go by.

The day was full of laughs, good company and sunshine. We all did well considering we were awake at 5am, got stuck in traffic and reached school at about 11pm. The journeys are usually a highlight with music, photographs and laughter. It's fair to say our group enjoyed the day. But we were tired today after our busy day.
