Living on Queen’s Gate Terrace in Central Kensington is interesting. Thus far we have discovered that we live near: William Kate and George, David Beckham and Co, The Queen (occasionally), Adele, the two richest men in the UK, many foreign ambassadors along with many others. We are direct neighbors to the French Ambassador, hence the name of our “house,” Ambassador House.
During the tour Emily (my roommate) and I made a list on my iPhone notepad of places we wanted to go and things we wanted to do (that we saw on the tour). The list is HUGE. Some of the attractions will be free, others will not. It is going to be a fantastic semester here in London and I cannot wait to share with you all the adventures that happen to us while we are here in registered cabs.
The List:
Victoria And Albert Museum (might happen tomorrow, if I get to bed that is)
Day at Harrods
Tea at Buckingham Palace Gardens
Westminster Abby Service
Temple Church Tour
Daniel Radcliff Show
Museum of London
Pub Crawls (Including but not limited to: The Globe Pub, Sherlock Holmes Pub, Leaky Cauldron Pub, and The Old King’s Head Pub)
Gamble ( Ten Pound Limit) at a Casino
Go to China Town
Soho Gay Bars
Night Clubs and take the “Night Bus” home
Burlington Arcade Visit
See where Will and Kate live
Rent a Bike and Ride in Hyde Park
Tate Modern at Night
Organic Market
The Chocolate Factory Dinner Theatre
Murder History Wax Museum
Football Game! (Probably Chelsea)
Visit the Winter Wonderland Area in November
That is JUST a few things we want to do in London itself… not to mention other parts of the country, and Europe. We will see just how far we can stretch a college student budget.
