Fit for a Queen
Ready to head across the pond? Photographer Shae Combs offers plenty of travel inspo for a trip to London. Check out her can’t-miss spots and fun tips to make the most of your next trip.
Go to a Football Match
This was technically the reason we went to London in the first place! My husband is a Chelsea fan so I bought him tickets for our anniversary. We had so much fun at Stamford Bridge, watching exceptional football with die-hard fans.
Ride the Tube
I know, I know. Everyone tells you to ride the tube when you go to London, but when people ask what my favorite parts of our trip were, I always mention the fabulous public transit. Cabs and Ubers are very expensive in London, but the longest tube ride we took only cost £2.50. We were lucky enough to be staying close to a station and we used the tube as a quick and simple way to get all around the city.
Visit the Sky Garden
The Sky Garden is London's highest public garden and is completely free and open to the public (just book your free tickets ahead of time!) The garden is pretty, but the best part of the Sky Garden is the fabulous 360 degree view of London from above. Why pay to go to the Shard when you can get a birds-eye view of the city for free? We made the most of our visit with a bottle of wine while we watched the city below.
Check Out Some World-Class Museums
We only had time to visit three of London's finest museums, but each one was interesting and beautiful. From design, to Natural History, to Modern Art-- there is definitely a museum for everyone's tastes (and the best part is... they're all FREE!)
Enjoy a Picnic at a Park
London is renowned for its beautiful parks. We enjoyed walking through Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park, and St. James' Park. We also decided to take the trip up to Primrose Hill with a bottle of wine to enjoy while we relished the London skyline in the distance.
Look for Hidden Gems
We stumbled across some truly beautiful places while walking around the city. St. Dunstan's-in-the-East, Daunt Books and the Mews streets of Notting Hill were some of my absolute favorites. I love to wander around a new city and see what I come across.
