WANDERLUST: London Calling Part II

Despite the delay this post is a continuation of my last one about London! All the photographs from the previous post were from my first full day in London (on Saturday January 28th).

Saturday was extremely busy - we saw Buckingham Palace, The Tower of London, and Abbey Road. It was so great to go out to dinner that night to be able to sit down and rest for a couple of hours!

I definitely got a crash course in London! I am glad that I did most of the London sightseeing at the beginning because by the end of the trip all I wanted to do was sit around all day and drink tea and eat scones with jam and clotted cream.

So without further adieu, here are the pictures from my final touristy excursion of the day on that very busy Saturday.

Then the day was wrapped up with a trip to Piccadilly Circus for dinner.

{decked out for the Chinese New Year}

Then the following day there was a Chinese New Year celebration! London was decked out in Chinese lanterns and Chinatown was bustling - the wait for chinese restaurants in Chinatown were at least an hour, but it was worth it!
