Birthday Trip To London

Hello It's 2 Peas In A Pod Blog Here,



Hi everyone and welcome back to our blog, it's Jade here. So 2 weeks ago I celebrated my 17th birthday. I went to our beautiful capital city for 2 nights and 3 days. I really enjoyed my visit.

So when we arrived on Thursday we checked into our hotel room and headed straight down to oxford street where all the shops are. I specifically said I wanted to buy myself a pair of black denim dungarees. Well, I kid you not, I could not find a pair anywhere and every shop I asked either had no clue what I actually meant or they just stocked blue denim dungarees. So my mission for a pair of black denim dungarees was unsuccessful. We continued our shop and I did pick up a few pieces of clothing, but if I am honest I was not that impressed on the clothes out in the shops at the moment.

After the shopping trip, we went to Covent gardens to a beautiful pub and restaurant called Nags Head. It was up high and I was able to look out on all the shoppers and buskers. After many tube trips, we headed back to the hotel and got ready for the evening's events. My nan treated my Mum and me to go see Mama Mia in west end theaters. I can confirm it is amazing. I absolutely enjoyed it the singers and dancers were amazing and put on a fun filled show. After the show, we walked around Covent gardens and listened to some buskers and took in the beautiful city in the night time.

The next day was Friday and we prepared ourselves for the day with a scrumptious breakfast. I topped up my oyster card and off we went on the London Tube. We headed to Regent street and bought a few more pieces of clothes. I also went to Hamleys and purchased an overpriced soft toy. It was £30 for a Kola bear teddy, but worth it haha. We then went to Camden town. We visited the famous Camden market and there were some cute quirky stalls. I also tried bubble tea for the first time. It was amazing, I had strawberry flavour with passion fruit balls. I actually really liked it, I would definitely buy another one.  We then headed to Carnaby street where we stopped off for a drink at an Irish pub. We then did a bit of shopping and looked around liberties.

Sticking with posh shops we then went to Harrods and observed all the expensive items that I could only dream of owning. Outside Harrods was this posh Cafe. We decided to go in. The place was called Caffe Concerto in Knightsbridge. I ordered a strawberry cheesecake and a vanilla milkshake. URGHHH it was so tasty and lovely. Very rich in flavour. That evening we went to china town and ate so much Chinese food. It was good though. We then had a stroll to Leicester Square and we watched a few buskers.

Then Saturday we were ready to leave and caught the train home. I really enjoyed my stay in London and would like to thank my Mum and my Nan for taking me. My favorite part was seeing Mama Mia in the theatre. I would definitely recommend anyone who hasn't watched it go see it.

That's all for me I hope you enjoyed reading about my adventures in London. Sorry about the picture quality it was on my iPhone which is broken. So yeah. Hope you all have a great day. Thank you for reading our blog.

A Day In London

Hello everyone 2 Peas In A Pod Blog here it's stephanie here and todays blog post is going to be about what I got up to in London! I had so much fun there! I went there to watch the boat race which takes place on the river themes and between Oxford and Cambridge. I thought it would be great to take a few pictures so I could write a blog post. Hope you enjoy it !

So the day started very early for me! I was up at 6.30 am to catch the train down to London and the first thing I did was find my favourite shop! Dior! I just love window shopping in there and dreaming of what I could wear. It was Very expensive so I couldn't spend any money in there! It's always nice just looking !! 

After that I went to l'occitdne it was just lovely the smell was just sheer blossom and how could I not get my self some lip balm for £12 and soap for £15!! They both smell amazing so I just had to buy them! I'm sure you guys will see them in a favourites blog post soon 😏

Then as we was walking out that shop we walked down to this cafe in Covent gardens where we saw this classical band playing a classical versions of Katy perrys fireworks! Which was amazing and very different to the original! It's was really good and they were so talented, I love seeing people on the sides of the streets showing of their musical talents.

After walking for a while and having an amazing full english breakfast at another little cafe! Just near kings cross I came across my favourite chocolate shop! M & M world. Which the things they come up with is just amazing. Like you can spell out your own name. Amazing. Sadly everything was very expensive so I didn't spend anything in there which is a real shame!

Across the road from M&M world I came across this shop which 3kg of Nutella in a tub in the window! I didn't get to see the shops name and mum refused to buy it for me!! But how amazing is that whoever came up with this idea needs a medal. 

One of my favourite parts of London is coming across the big signs! They are just like what you see in Times Square in New York. It always lets me know I'm in London! This is in Piccadilly square. I love the adverts on them they are so overly large and they move! How cool? 

 For ages now I've wanted a pair of timberlands. They are the most gorgeous pair of shoes in the world . So I made my mum go see them. Again I pestered her for her to buy me them. She didn't but I feel like I might have won her over for my birthday! Fingers Crossed !! 

After that we went for afternoon tea at the RAF place, I had a finger sandwich and a twinings cup of tea. I honestly felt so British. It was such a great time to spend with the family.

So after the boat race we went to catch the train but just before we nipped In to Starbucks which I got  a chocolate frapè! Tasted so good!!! The cream was heavenly.

So after that I ended up home and in my warm bed. I had such a lovely day. I love London the capital of my country. Sadly I didn't bump into the queen but maybe next time. The day was jam packed and was fun. The awesome thing was the same time I was in London Jade was also there staying for the weekend. So look forward to an upcoming post from Jade.  

So I hope you all enjoyed this post.
