And so to London...

Hi everyone!

So earlier this week I travelled to the capital (on a 4am megabus I must add), I travelled up there with my trusty companion of a housemate and we had an amazing time.

I'd been set a project by Uni to check out independent stores and boutiques and write a few shop 'analysis'.. including things like - 

1. How the shop looked

2. How the shop felt to be in

3. How it differed from others around

4. What clothing was trending and what they were selling

5. My opinions of the visits

Apart from the 3:30am wake up to get up there, I have to say I throughly enjoyed my visit. Something about the atmosphere of the busseling city is really endearing. The way people have no concerns about standing out from the MASSIVE crowd really intrigues me.

Although are short time up there did entail a lot of coffee, tube hopping and running for (I think this could become some kind of sport actually), and notes (for the project obviously) I had an amazing time, and hope to go again as soon as possible.

So here are some pics from my trip:

We arrived at Shoreditch - honestly the most creative and eye opening places in London,  if you have never been..GO!

We went to the Nike Lab - now I LOVE Nike so the picture below pretty much sums up my satisfaction we had time to visit this amazing place!!

We also bought some little cactuses to take back to Uni!

The Pop up mall that is right by the tube station is a must visit, so many small independent designers and stores, amazing to just wander around

Coffee break - this was much needed at this point

So many stores....so little time

London, has some beautiful little spectacles

Our well deserved Wagamama dinner, before getting on our 5 hour coach journey home!

Really sweet little place we had a coffee and cake break in Shoreditch - right by the Circus Arts centre

Finally, we ran as fast as we could to catch a glimpse of the beautiful memorial poppy garden by the tower of London, before heading home. I have to say even at night, it is breathtaking!


So guys, I hope you enjoyed the little glimpse into my London Trip!

Much Love
