The moment I arrived in London, I knew I was in for something unforgettable. Our first evening included a welcome dinner with a breathtaking view of the iconic Bridge of London—an experience that instantly made the city feel magical.
The next day, we jumped straight into sightseeing. While walking toward Buckingham Palace, we were stunned to see King Charles and Queen Camilla leaving their home—a rare and unexpected moment that made the day even more surreal. From there, the week unfolded with excitement and exploration.
We visited London’s top attractions, explored the famous Borough Market, and wandered through the vibrant streets filled with many at Portobello Market. Shopping on Oxford Street gave me a real taste of London’s fast-paced lifestyle, and hopping on and off the Tube quickly became second nature. By the end of the trip, I could navigate it confidently on my own.
One of the biggest highlights was attending the live production of The Lion King—an experience that left me speechless. I wish I could have taken a picture, but the memory is enough. The storytelling, costumes, and energy were unmatched.
Even though English is spoken, the accents, slang, and phrasing made conversations interesting and fun. I also loved how culturally diverse London is—it felt like the entire world was walking beside me.
Our time ended with a bittersweet closing dinner. Saying goodbye was hard because I truly enjoyed every moment. London left a mark on me, and I already miss the rhythm, charm, and adventure that filled each day.
