LONDON - Madame Tussauds and Harry Potter Studio tour.


So really recently I went on a short trip to London with my family and thought I'd tell you about the experience I had. I've been to London on many occasions but I've never been to London and done these things before, it was all new and very exciting!
 
So for starters my outfit on the first day I wore a Aztec print midi dress from Newlook it was on the cheap side and was super comfy, then as it was quite a warm day I didn't wear a coat. For my feet I wore some white frilled socks with my juju jelly shoes. Finishing the look off with my pink Cambridge Satchel.
 
Alright then so on the first day which was Sunday me, my mum, my dad, my sister and my sisters boyfriend all travelled down to London for an early birthday present for my dad. Starting the day with a yummy McDonald's breakfast we took a 2 and a half hour long car journey. Once arriving at our Hotel (Hilton Wembley Stadium) we dumped our bags and headed for the city centre. Many tube stops later we had a drink and some lunch at the Living Room in a lovely little court yard, it was such a lovely atmosphere with a brass band playing in the background. After that we headed to Madame Tussauds, this was my first time here so I didn't know what to expect, the wax works were amazing and they were done in such detail. Even though it was really crazy and busy it was still an amazing experience!
 
After we spent a couple of hours round there we went to Covent garden for some dinner, we started off with a couple of drinks at Henry's bar and then ate at Palm Court! it was one of the best meals I have had but I was extremely full afterwards!! Then towards the end of the night we had a drink in the hotel, but I was just so tired that I barley could keep my eyes open, so it was not long until I headed off to bed!
Here's some snaps we took throughout Sunday:

Pope Benedict

So these are just a few pictures of the Sunday, I thought I'd only put a couple on as I thought you might get a little bored of pictures just off me and my family. 

So the outfit I wore on the second day were some light blue dungarees with a black and white striped crop top both from Topshop, again some frilled socks and my navy and pink gazelles, then again my pink Cambridge Satchel.

So this was my last day in London and it was absolutely fantastic, we went to the Harry Potter Studio Tour, when we got there all of us were super excited, looking round there were many pictures and props from the film.

So basically you start off by watching a short video clip off what Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint had to say about there 10 years working on the set. After that finished, the screen rose and the doors of the Great Hall stood there, Basically all the way round were the props and scenes from all of the films, from the Great Hall and Privaet drive, I was amazed  by it all. Then top it all off at the end of the  tour was a smaller size Hogwarts that they actually used to film the Hogwarts scenes, seeing every detail was breath-taking and actually blew me away.

Again here are some pictures from the Hogwarts Tour:

So as you can see its been a pretty filled couple of days in London, if you ever get the opportunity to go and visit either Madame Tussauds or the Warner Bros. Harry Potter Studio Tour, GOOO!  it was a great experience and I'm so glad that I did it!
 
Thanks for reading
