… We’re heading to London. We set off at 6.45am (woah.. early) tomorrow morning and plan to do some super touristy things. It’s weird, we travel the world, yet hardly ever go to our own capital city. The reason for our visit revolves around the BUST craftacular, as some fo you know, I applied to be a vendor this year but didn’t get a spot. That was kinda gutting, but we’ve planned a really nice weekend anyway, so I’m not too bothered anymore.
Saturday
After arriving we’re heading straight towards 221b Baker Street, from they’re we’ll travel across to Bethnal Green to the BUST craftacular. I know quite a few of the vendors that are going to be there so it’ll be good to meet a few of them! There’s also some FinestImaginary items for sale at the All Things Original stall. After we’ve had chance to look around the fair we’re going to head to our hotel. We booked a ‘secret hotel’ through lastminute.com which turned out to be Apex City of London (which looks super posh, even though we’ll hardly be there..!). It’s right by the Tower of London so after checking in the plan is to go and take a look there, and Tower Bridge. Then we’ll be heading back to the hotel to get ready for our late afternoon/evening shenanigans. We’re planning on eating at Wahaca before walking over to Victoria – hopefully via Buckingham palace et. al. – where we’ll be going to the Apollo Victoria to see Wicked.. omg!
Sunday
Hoping for a relatively early start! First stops will be sight-seeing places around Westminster, which I’m hoping will be quietish on a Sunday morning? Then we’ll be heading up to Regents Street & Oxford Circus for some heaving window shopping. Definitely wanting to hit Anthropologie, Liberty and the flagship Topshop. As we’ll be near two, we thought we’d try LEON for a late lunch. Has anyone been? So our train back is at 5.45pm, if we have time we might head over to Camden for a stroll.
Fun times! It’s meant to be an epic heat wave this weekend.. gah! I’m taking my 400d with a 50mm lens on (the perfect light-weight travel lens, I find). Expect some photo posts next week.

Enjoy your weekend in London! Wahaca is fab! Beware Camden can be semi nightmareish with Tourist on a Sunday! Lots of stopping and going and ducking out of peoples pictures ;)
yeah, not sure if we’ll make it to Camden to be honest, might be a little bit too rushed! :D
Have you considered maybe heading to Columbia Road Flower Market on Sunday? It’s favourite Sunday destination, it’s ACE. Shouldn’t be too far from your hotel, it’s a bit north of where you are!

Looking forwards to seeing your photo posts – nice to meet you and hope you cooled down! It was SO hot, I felt like a whale all day. So glad to be back in cold Scotland now! :)
