Our recent trip to England was our first time in the country, and so one of the places that I wanted to get to know most was, of course, its capital city. London is one of the most visited cities in the world, full of interesting historical sites and with a picturesque setting on the Thames River. More than this, the city is also well known for its culture. Although we didn’t stay in London, we went in for several day trips to explore this iconic city and sample what London has to offer. We weren’t disappointed and I would definitely like to go back and have a more in depth exploration of the city.

As usual, I took hundreds of photos while I wandered around. Here are some of my favourites. I hope you enjoy this photo journey through London.
