Despite being older than I care to mention, and being 100% british beef, I had never been to London (Apparently I went when I was tiny, but that doesn’t really count).

My sister has a new house near Maidstone, and so I decided to visit her for a bit and see some of London whilst I am at it.

After catching a bus from Denton, I caught an early train to London Euston, where I had to find the tube and navigate my way to Victoria. Being so near to Christmas I thought that the train would be really packed, but it was fine.

Getting on the tube for the first time was not too difficult, I found the tube at Euston and managed to get on the Victoria line going in the right directon. I was impressed with the tube, as they were so frequent, not at all busy and they accelerated really fast. I guess if you were on them all day every day you would quickly get bored of them, but hey, I’m not!

I got off the tube at Victoria and was a bit confused, I could either follow the signs for Gatwick, or the central & reigional lines. I wanted neither! I headed for the exit, and soon found Victoria train station. After waiting there for a bit and eating some food, I got the train to Barming where I met Conrad.

Their house is very nice, although the entrance very much reminds me of uni halls!

Today me and Jude travelled into London and looked around. First we went to Hamleys, Then went to Trafalgar Square. After visiting the gates of Buckingham Palace and taking a few photos we continuted across the Thames and walked down the south bank past the London Eye.

After seeing lots of other things, we decided that it was time to head home as we were both tired, and so we travelled back to Victoria on the tube and got the train back to Maidstone.
