"When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life."
Mind the Gap
Touching down in the UK felt surprisingly familiar yet distinctly different. The energy in London is electric. We spent the first day riding the Tube (which is way deeper underground than I expected!) and seeing the iconic Big Ben and Westminster Abbey.
The Christmas lights were just starting to go up on Oxford Street, making the city feel magical despite the grey skies.
Tea & Museums
We took advantage of the free museums—the British Museum is massive! I could have spent days there. Afterward, we treated ourselves to a proper afternoon tea. Scones with clotted cream and jam are a game changer.
