London



Buckingham Palace

London Eye & Big Ben



British Museum

The thing about London is, you could be there for months and not see everything you could.  So, we had to narrow it down.  We managed to hit up the British Museum, National Gallery, Tate Modern, and Saatchi Gallery.  And some of the touristy stuff like Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, the London eye and along the river, as well as Trafalgar square for some Christmas festivities.
Another thing on our list was to see a musical, we chose Wicked and it was brilliant! For those who do not know its the story of the Evil and Good witch from Oz, the untold story. It was remarkable! We did all this while making sure to dip into a bit of nightlife while we were there as well, just bare in mind most pubs are closed by eleven.  The Tate modern was certainly a highlight as the book store is just as good as the gallery itself.  A great mix of all modern movements in art, and an incredibly plentiful collection of Surrealist work.  I really loved England and the people, not paying for museums was a bonus!
