Overall, London was a success!
In addition to all the museums and plays, we saw West Ham vs Man City play at London Stadium, which was a blast!
The best part was the fans. They were totally no nonsense. I accidentally snapped this picture, but really like how it turned out because it is a perfect representation of the fans and their undying love for their team. Look at those faces!
They were constantly singing songs and shouting things like “you’re useless!”, and chanting, “The Referee’s a Wanker!”
The game was an important one and ended up in a tie. We have another game lined up in Manchester, and that one should be even more exciting!
We also went to the London Mithreum, which is a museum of the ruins of a Roman temple built around 240AD. The museum was free which is good because we were really disappointed in this one. Not worth spending the time unless you have nothing better to do.
While we were wandering around looking for stuff do do, we went to the Leadenhall Market and the Borough Market.
Leadenhall looked neat, but was really nothing more than your typical mall so we didn’t stay long.
Borough Market was really interesting and we wished we had found it sooner. It was filled with stalls selling spices and food from all over the world.
We were sad that we couldn’t buy anything because we were going to a show that night and didn’t have anywhere to put anything (the venue said no bags).
We will definitely put this at the top of our list for next time though.
Here are a few pictures from when we were just wandering around the city:

Our next stop is Manchester with a quick day trip to Liverpool on the way.
