Just what the title says. Get ready for a whirlwind tour, because I have a psychology essay to write. Not only is this a week late, but it’s probably the worst for photos because my phone was dead almost all weekend. I’ll add more stuff later… maybe. Enjoy, anyway ❤ (text goes with photo below it)
London Eye seen from my airport shuttle at 1am
Not pictured: getting lost in the construction at Victoria Station at 2am, buying an Oyster Card, collapsing into my hostel bed.
Kensington Palace and some modern art arch thing, seen from Hyde Park
this is called Kensington Bridge South or something similar
All the ducks waiting for something exciting to happen, and a swan hoping they won’t notice him
some fountain thing in Kensington Gardens
a statue of some guy and an animal (they have a lot of these in London)
Kiko Milano in Covent Garden, for any Recordians/Yalies reading
Tragalgar Square
(this was a typo but I liked it better that way)
lackluster selfie #1 (secret: one of the selfies I took on this trip is the most absurd photo I have ever seen but I’m saving it for a special moment, like maybe to project behind me and my husband during our wedding [Kim’s idea – she’s seen it])
the names of some fancy artists in the National Gallery
some art
don’t remember why I took a picture of this one
I mostly go to art museums for the architecture
this was my favorite painting in the whole place – just look at this guy’s attitude
a really big painting of somebody’s horse
guess they ran out of time to do the background
some other paintings I like
Buckingham Palace seen from St James Park
ooh palace-y
Big Ben (ish)
Abraham Lincoln
This was the most exciting thing in the Supreme Court besides the cheeky security guard who kept telling people not to sit in one particular chair in the court chamber
Big Ben/London Eye
London graffito 1: yeah what did they ever do to you
decent
gave in to the pressure to take a selfie in front of the palace of westminster but there’s no way to rotate photos on wordpress and I’m lazy
at the Tate British: outlines of some humans made out of toast
London graffito 2: in the Tate bathroom
Not pictured: evensong in Westminster Abbey, which was beautiful
This is basically the only photo I took in the British Museum because I was too busy looking at the Rosetta Stone and also my phone was dead and the security guard told me I couldn’t stand behind the exhibit charging it
a cool thing
Saturday breakfast
the John Wesley Highwalk, for you Methodism nerds
(it’s on Aldersgate St)
I spent the entire morning standing in queue at the Barbican Centre waiting for Hamlet tickets, but the people I was in line with were lovely. Also listened to a speech by some lady at a conference that was going on
The Museum of London
they had nice fritatta
and some John Wesley sculpture thing
view on the way back to the Barbican to see Hamlet
pigeons chillin on some ancient ruin
inside that building is where I saw Benedict Cumberbatch
hate to think what it looked like before she fixed it
taken 20 minutes before I saw Benedict Cumberbatch
St Paul’s Cathedral, where I went to another evensong
millennium bridge etc
went here briefly
the globeee
london graffito 3: Charlie Chaplin near Borough Market, where I ate dinner
tower bridge, shot from the walkway to the HMS Belfast
dunno what happened in this photo but I like it
the Tower of London, where they drained the moat so the yeomen could use it for bowling
Kenneth Branagh’s theatre company because why not
got to watch the sun rise in Stansted Airport because I missed my flight
paid a hundred pounds for this dumb piece of paper, but at least I was the first person to board the plane, which was exciting
mmm a field
nice view anyway
the end
Natalie Goes to Ireland 
Quite a busy 2 days! Wish I had been there with you.
