Where dreams come true, most popular seat ever and best friends #travellintoLondon

 I'm back again from a wonderful city vacation in London. Today I will show you some impressions of my trip with beautiful photos I took (same scheme like the Barcelona post). I hope you like it and let me know in the comments when you will start with school or if you have already started (me next week :( ).
First again some informations about the trip. Me, my mother, my best friend Damaris and her mother flew to London on 26 of August. After a little delay we started and arrived safe at the London City Airport. After a 30 minutes taxi drive (which was more of a little sightseeing tour, because we have seen sooo much), we arrived at our Hotel "Holiday Inn Express", which was a perfect city hotel, because it was very clean and the staff was very nice and polite. On our first day we went to Harrods, which was unbelievable huge with its shops, food halls etc. . I think shopping mall is the wrong word for it, maybe shopping villa or shopping paradise. Here is were child dreams come true: so many books, toys, stuffed animals... . But before Harrods we were at Nando's in Gloucester Road (the Nando's were Niall Horan eats) which was very tasty (I had the Peri Peri chicken with chips and a salad) and Omg I sat on the chair were Niall Horan sat a couple of months ago (the waiter told us) and as you can tell I was very happy and took a photo of this chair (yep here's a special fangirl moment soory for that). Also we were at the Globe Theatre, which was very interesting, because I've seen it only in movies. In the past 5 days we all felt in love with a special restaurant which is present on every edge in London: Pret a Manger were you can eat soups,sandwiches, wraps etc. . Everything is based on biologial ingredients and very delicious. We were in many museums (British Museum, Tate Modern, Victoria and Albert Museum, Charles Dickens Museum, National Portrait Gallery), which were very interesting, I think my favourite museum was the Charles Dickens Museum because it was very cute furnished and there was a nice cafe at the end. And then we met the Queen (I'm just joking but the flag was on half-mast) at the Buckingham Palace, which was very breathtaking with all the gold furnishings and it was that huge. When we were there, there was a Childhood Exhibition, were you could have a look on the toys and things, the Royals played with in their early years. And we have seen all the attractions, a tourist should have seen, like the Tower Bridge, Big Ben, Piccadilly Circus and soo on (as you can tell we have seen soo much, so it's difficult to summarize it in a small text). We were at Covent Garden, were we had a look at the shops (we had many "looks" at the shops on our vacation :D) and bought a nice mint tea in a tea shop. We were also on the Oxford street, but for me it's too stressful and crowded, so you can't shop relaxed (but I got nevertheless some things).
Fact is: This was a great vacation were we all had much fun and have seen many new things. London is for me a city were I want to live, because I really like the atmosphere there, the architecture, the buildings and everything. I hope to come back soon and I'm happy that I could go there this year. Now some impressions:
