London Day trip




Oh no.. i'm too tired to post the previous outdated post, and now i will try to post everyday what happening on me. I just went to London for a day trip with Jayson. We bought the ticket 3 weeks ago. Actually, i'm the one who accompanied him as he wants to buy some branded stuff for his family and friends. I was in the urge of going to London and have a look on hows London is. it was a very tiring trip. But i'm enjoy the moment like backpacker as we dunno the road, and we just use iphone to google where we want to go. I feel tired because of lack of sleep and there's is too much of stairs when we coming out from tube.

The underground system of London was very easy to understand. But it didn't stop me from taking the wrong train. The train had luggage space and was not crowded in the terminal station. Its totally different from Malaysia where you need to squeeze yourself like sardine and need to beware of pickpockets. Here there is less criminal.
The seats are comfortable



We are lucky manage to meet this 1st class train in King cross station




This is the King Cross/St Pancreas station, it is located in Central London. Love the lighting


Those who is Harry Porter fans must not miss this station. The Department of Transportation and the Ministry of Magic left a luggage cart half way through so you can find it easily! Kings Cross is a main Underground and Overground Station so it easy to get to from almost anywhere.











Borough Market is located in London Bridge. The best time to visit is on the weekends (morning till early afternoon). This is the place where Bridget Jones (Bridget Jones Diary Movie) was seen running down towards her apartment. Borough Market is a huge food market which sells food from all over the world including local British produce. Harry Potter and Prisoner of The Azkaban also previews Borough Market.

The oldest Cathedral Church




Posting with the Olympic Mascot in The Monument



It was built between 1671 and 1677 to commemorate the Great Fire of London and to celebrate the rebuilding of the City.
By tube use Monument on the District and Circle lines or London Bridge on the Northern and Jubilee lines.
The Olympic Park. We are not able to go in the Stadium because we dont have the ticket. From the Stratford tube, you have to walk about 20mins to reach the stadium.










M&M super store in London’s Leicester Square. The two level store is big – full of M&M memorabilia and M&M chocolates. You can buy mix-and-match M&Ms.









Mix & Match your M&M




Here i reach the Chinatown which is located in Leicester Square.
