How to Spend 48 Hours in London Eating and Shopping!
So, I may not have been to a hot country yet this summer BUT I did get to spend approx. 48 Hours in London in July! The primary aim of this trip was to meet and spend the day with my friend Tortimer. (yes, that is you, Emily) However, I also got the chance to meet up with another one of my London-based friends!

Friday – The 48 Hours in London Begins!
Shockingly, my train didn’t get cancelled or delayed on my way down to London on Friday morning! (If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram then would know this is a shock.) I was slightly regretting booking 48 hours in London after I had only returned from Edinburgh and York the day before. However, as soon as I arrived and met up with my friend the thought of sleep was forgotten!

The London weather was doing its own sunny thing so we thought we would head over to Regent’s Park for a walk. Of course, as soon as we got there it started to POUR WITH RAIN. Like, absolutely chucking it down.
Next stop in my 48 Hours in London…
Of course, we couldn’t stay out in the rain. Therefore, we found ourselves sprinting to the tube station and taking a visit to the British Museum. I hadn’t been before and

My friend wanted to take me to Covent Garden so we set off, looking for a place to have a
Attempting to go Shopping…
Remember me saying that I had no problems with the trains? That’s probably because life knew I was going to have issues with the buses. Deciding to go to Bluewater Shopping Centre the day the Dartford Crossing gets blocked and the buses are cancelled is not the best idea. It is a long story that I won’t tell – but we did finally make it there.
And, to no one’s surprise, we headed straight for Wagamama!
Saturday – EMILY DAY!
I was SO excited to meet Emily and I had the most AMAZING TIME!
Thank you,
After just chatting, and eating sausage rolls, outside Kings Cross, we thought it may be a good time to stand up and go do something. We ended up in Westfield shopping centre. Our first stop, after getting Emily a bottle of water after we boiled on the delayed central line, was
We then spent the rest of the day discovering shops we didn’t’ know existed and being indecisive over whether to buy POP! figures. (okay, that was just me)
Food and a SURPRISE!
I have no clue how Emily hadn’t eaten at Pizza Express before. I’m glad we ended up going because my pizza was bomb dot com.

The most exciting part was after we had finished eating, Emily handed me a

That sounds like such a fantastic day. I can’t believe I never tried Wagamamas when I was in London, I keep hearing about it. So glad you got to meet a friend while there too, makes for a perfect experience.

The food you have here looks great and it sounds like you had a good time. The London prices are not so good I’m still trying to get used to them and I’ve lived here six years. On the plus side, I’m always really happy when I travel at how “cheap” things are …
