London

Londoners have perfected the chic minimal-effort look by paring runway clothing with relaxed makeup and hairstyles. The no-makeup look that appears to have taken five minutes in actuality took 45. However, the illusion of ease is what gives Londoners their edge.

 

Trainers are also a key component to the relaxed but bold British style as heels are not compatible with English rain.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The best time to visit London is in the Fall months of September- November. It is best to avoid London’s harsh winter and summer rain. Here is a guideline of how to explore London. 

48 Hours in London
Day 1

  • Flight: Air Transat

    • Round Trip C$606.00 (not including tax)

    • YYZ (Toronto) – LGW (London)

    •  7hrs (nonstop)

    • £52 a night (C$88.00)

      •  I love Notting Hill's unique charm with small pastel homes, cute little restaurants, and the sweetest market. It is also the site of Julia Robert's famous movie Notting Hill.

      • Covent Gardens

        • This is a great place to hang with friends and grab a bite to eat. The Shake Shack here is superb and the shows in the square bring together people from all over the city. There is a close community feel in Covent Garden's air.

Notting Hill
Covent Gardens
Day 2

  • Waner Bros. Studio: The Making of Harry Potter Tour

    • £69 (C$117)

    • Includes transportation to and from major London Underground Stations

      • This was by far my favorite part of visiting London. As a die-hard fan of the Harry Potter series, this tour was a dream come true. However, my friend, who is only an admirer of the movies, also greatly enjoyed the tour. The tour gives a behind the scenes look at the sets, costumes, animals, CGI, and even lets you taste the magical foods. It really has something for everyone not just Potter Heads.

  • Tickets to the London Eye

    • Can ride anytime for the day the ticket is purchased

      • I suggest purchasing your ticket online for a specific time to avoid the lines. Although, if you forgot to preorder tickets the view of London's two bridges and river from the top is truly worth the wait.
