London has become one of those cities that once you have a taste, it calls you back for seconds and thirds! I have truly become enamored by this city. And having only visited twice, I have an insatiable appetite for more! My first time visiting was in the Spring and this time around, I visited in the Fall and it was nothing short of perfect. The change of leaves were now releasing itself from the branches. The air, crisper and cooler, inviting spurs of rain mixed with glimmers of sunshine. The city was in preparation for the holidays making it feel so “The Holiday” With limited time spent in London, I wanted to provide my mini guide to the city as these are definitely places I will return to.
