4 day itinerary in London

December 2, 2013

 I admit that to this day, London is the city I’ve visited more times, except for Athens, which is my home town. This month I visited the British capital for the 14th time in my life so far. If you follow me on Instagram you surely got a glimpse from my whereabouts in London, but here is a more “complete” itinerary of the things I’ve seen and done in 4 days (ideal for first timers as well).

I’ve been bitten by the travel bug early on. I “blame” my parents for that. By the time I was 23 I had covered a good part of Western and Central Europe and when my best friend decided to do Master’s degree in the US (in Michigan) I was delighted, as it was a very (very) good opportunity to cross the Atlantic! On my first trip to the US back in February 2008 (which also inspired me to start blogging), Chicago was the first big city that I got to visit and I don’t regret the fact that I visited…
