Can't believe how long I've been meaning to do this post for! Well I went to London in the middle of October sooo... like a month haha! Well here it is. :)
My sister and one of my best friends live in London, so I always have a base to stay at should I want a wee break away. My boyfriend Scott has NEVER been to London, so when he came in to a bit of money, we decided to go down for a few days and do some visiting!
We travelled down on a Megabus (he didn't come in to THAT much money haha) and the 9-10 hour drive actually wasn't too bad! There was wifi and plugs so we were sorted. I got into my jammies and slept a lot of the way! We stayed at my friend's flat that night, we just went out for dinner and drinks. :)
On the Friday we went to Harry Potter Studio Tour - EEeeEEeee! OMG, I was so close to tears at some points, I'm a massive Harry Potter fan and it was just amazing!! I'm gonna post some pics from it below under a link in case people are planning on going and don't want any spoilers. =p
On Saturday, my sister took us on a guided tour of all the tourist spots for Scott. At night, Scott and I went to Carnaby Street for dinner and out for drinks in Soho. On Sunday, my sister showed us her local area, Kensington & Chelsea.
We had a great time!! If you want to see some of my Harry Potter Studio Tour photos, click below!

Harry Potter was absolutely AMAZING. I went completely snap happy and took hundreds (literally) of photos, but here's just a few:
Outside // Wigs // Gryffindor costumes // Great Hall
4 Privet Drive // Butterbeer // Outdoor sets
Portraits // Letters // Dobby
Weasley's kitchen // Potions class // Model of Hogwarts
Diagon Alley // Huge Hogwarts
Hogwarts
It was all just truly breathtaking. These were all the REAL sets, REAL outfits, REAL props! And the huge Hogwarts at the end was just out of this world. Seriously, if you can go to the Studio Tour, GO!!
Have you been to the Studio Tour? Do you plan on going?
Let me know!
