Today we tried to tick of everything we wanted to do before we left London while also relaxing and enjoying our last day. We did an early morning visit to Madame Tussaud's which was quite cool (of course Chris had a photo with Miley)!! We then had lunch with Clare a good friend of mums who was visiting from the Bahamas and her brother (Patrick Cameron - well known famous hairdresser) One Richard finished work we went and got some tea at a pub on Leicester S...

Today was Harry Potter day!!! Who's excited?? Just me??? Oh well the boys were excited also but they kept it all on the inside to be cool. The tour of the HP studios was amazing and although we spent 3 hours there I could've stayed for a whole day. Lots of interactive behind the scenes things to learn and play with. We tried butterbeer very tasty (very sickening) I flew a broom and tried to go through to platform 9 3/4. After that the 3 of us meet Sarah (Rich...

They had marmite fries and pea...

Today we went a bit further abroad and managed to get down to the Tower of London. Chris enjoyed his birthday present and we spent a few hours looking at the Crown Jewels, seeing the torture chambers, and looking out over London Bridge (thank god it did not fall down - my fair lady). By then things were warming up in London and we hit a high of 34 only to get a bit warmer as the day goes on. So we went to Leicester Square (monopoly again) and booked a show wh...

We arrived in London via the 4 1/2 hour train from Edinburgh which was lovely, very scenic and green. The thing I didn't quite realise about London was just how close the main attractions were. We spent the afternoon looking at Buckingham palace, Big Ben, Westminster Abby, Parliament Building, London Eye, Piccadilly Circus, Hyde Park and lots more names featured on the monopoly board We grew up with. It was a great to get a basic idea of London layout and we even...
