I thought the war room museum was really cool.

like

Parliament is so cool

V&A, Harrods, High Tea - a corner Pub (I liked Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese)

Oh, a formal tour… I’m a fan of the hop on hop off bust on day 1 to get the layout of the city and then check out places you wanna go back to later.

like

Westminster Abbey is very cool inside.

The Sky Garden is one of the best views in London! And highly recommend Sir John Soane’s Museum if you’re into really really unique art museums.

Appreciate all the feedback. I’ve got 3 days (and doing the Harry Potter studio tour one day) so trying to figure out what I should actually tour and what I can pass and see from the outside.

Looks like Big Ben is closed
I’ll try and do Westminster Abbey
If Buckingam Palace is open, I’ll try and do a tour
And that’s the second time someone said “War Room” so I’ll try and work that in

I’m back. I’m in london right now and forgot to mention Tower of London. Personally would pass on Westminster abbey unless you’re a huge fan of churches

Totally disagree - the history represented in there is pretty cool. Even doing the kids scavenger hunt unearths tons of information in there you might otherwise miss.

So was talking to this girl (we’re both mid late twenties) i met thru mutual friends and we hung out a few times/ texted a lot. I eventually had to move cross country and we slowly started texting less frequently & at a certain point she kinda ghosted me (lol I didnt pick up the signals). Recently found out I’m going to be going back to the same city in 6mo and theres a good chance I’ll run into her consistently since mutual friend groups/events. I dont want it to be awkward everytime…advice?

Would you recommend Sedona during Christmas or San Diego during Christmas with a 1.5 year old? Entertainment, safety, meaningful experience-focused.

Sedona will be much colder, possibly snowing/icy and will be hiking, hot tub, enjoying the scenery focused. San Diego will be beach, enjoying scenery focused. Both Airbnb options look beautiful. Will also have 60 year old grandparents joining
