A couple of years ago Kevin and I made our first trip to Europe and toured London for a weekend. We were only there for a little over 24 hours so we packed in as much sight-seeing as we could. We made sure to see all of the “must-dos” and both fell in love with the city. I would love to go back and visit some of the neighborhoods like Kensington and Covent Garden. Today I am sharing a look at our trip in pictures.

Sarah @ Windy City Wanderlust says
Kudos to you guys for getting so much sightseeing in with less than 24 hours to do it! My husband and I really want London to be our next big trip, so I’m curating a list of must-see places while we’re there. Thanks for the visual tour!

London is a great city! I would really love to go back!

I went to London briefly about 5 years ago. We were only there for a day because it was the port for a cruise. I desperately want to go back and actually experience it!
Paige says
Me too! I would love to go back and really experience a local’s life there!

Wow! You totally hit the nail on the head. Those pictures look so fun! Next time you have to check out Camden Market! I saw you stopped by Harrods-they have the fanciest tea, it’s so fun! I hope you get back there again soon. Or maybe Madrid? We will be there in two weekends (last weekend of June).
Paige says
Thanks, Katie! We tried to see as much as possible in our limited time. And Spain is definitely on my travel list! Hope you guys have a great trip!

Dani says
Wow, you packed a LOT in 24 hours! Every time I see Big Ben/Parliament I think of that roundabout scene from European vacation lol. I went to London once and it was one of my favorite places! Looks like you guys had a great time!
Paige says
Agreed – London is one of my favorite cities I have visited! So much to see!

Such fun pictures! I made my way across the pond for the first time last year, and London was my first choice, but I was outvoted due to price *womp womp*. Hoping to go see that amazing city next time 😀
Paige says
It is a very expensive city! It doesn’t seem like it when you are buying things until you actually calculate the conversion to US dollars – ouch! Still worth going though!
