Imperial War Museum is the second museum I visited in London, during my trip. I’ve been to the branch in Manchester and I had high expectations from London. It was not as exciting as I thought it would be. There were screaming school children running around, on a school trip, instead of them being explained […]
Sir John Soane’s Museum was on my wish-list of places to see in London for a while. I managed to visit it on our trip this month and it is such a wonderful place. I loved it. The entrance is free, but there is a wait, as it’s a very popular museum. This is the […]
National Portrait Gallery in 15 Highlights is a bit of an unusual post. I share only 15 highlights, which can be a piece of art or just a small detail from a painting. They are not in any specific order, just as I photographed them. I hope you enjoy it. Let me know which one […]
I’ve been to the Tower Bridge many times, but didn’t visit it. I was afraid of heights, but this changed recently and unexpectedly, after going to Ukraine. Acrophobia is uncomfortable. It seems a few weeks of volunteering in a country at war can be considered a cure. At least it was for me. There are […]
Runnymede is the birthplace of the Magna Carta. On 15 June 1215 King John has signed the Magna Carta in this open landscape. It is close to London, on the Thames, but of course, pre-cars and pre-paved-roads, it was rather far. Luckily Runnymede has kept its open landscape and it is a wonderful place to […]
Exactly a year ago I shared pictures from London, now it’s time for a second round of random pictures. Here is the post from last year. Enjoy!
London Mithraeum is a really interesting find in London. It’s free, close to the Bank tube station, but not one visitors usually go to. While popular, I imagine most of the visitors are Londoners. It is an old Roman temple, dedicated to Mithras. It was discovered in the 1950s and now is beneath Bloomberg’s European […]
Wellcome Collection is both a gallery and a library near Euston Station. It was a place I visited quite a few times this year because I joined their library at the suggestion of my teacher. It has a medical library, which is exactly what I needed for my dissertation. On top of that, Wellcome Collection […]
Whitechapel Gallery is an art gallery with both free and ticketed exhibitions. I’m not much into modern art, but it was nice seeing it. Here are a few highlights. Enjoy!
The Charterhouse is perfect if you are in London, it rains, and want to visit something really unique! This is a charity, started in the early 1600s, which still goes strong today, doing the same thing, with money from the initial donation! How amazing is that?! The Charterhouse is located within walking distance of Barbican […]
This blog is my personal diary, I will only write about brands and products I’ve used personally and are inline with my personal beliefs (e.g. no real fur). I am happy to receive PR samples or services, I also receive gifts at blogging events and sometimes I will blog about them.
I will disclose by mentioning in the post and/or by marking them with an asterisk (*) or c/o.
