If you are not familiar with today's blog name - it comes from this song that reminds me so much of London (we played it so many times on the terrace at night, looking at the illuminated Shard):

I flew from Ljubljana to London Luton on the 13th of February 2015 with Wizzair.
When we got to Luton, we had to found the bus that went to the city centre. We payed the tickets in advance, but totally forgot to print them, so we just had to show the mail with the booking number on the phone and the problem was solved.
When we got to the centre of London, we bought the weekly Oyster transport card. It costed 32 pounds for first and second zone which is around 45€. And they took from us another 5 pounds for the Oyster card which is around 7€, so alltogether for the transport - 52€.
1€ = 0,7 British Pound
We stayed in St. Christopher's Inn - London Bridge which is located in Borough High Street. Close to the center Great all you can eat breakfast buffet and magic view from the terrace (with and without the fish-eye adapter):
The first evening we went out for a dinner. We ended up eating in Pizza Hut in Picadilly at The Regent Street. It was the fancy vibe even though we were in Pizza Hut.
They actually brought you the menu and served you. It was yummy:
Landmarks:
This is the Picdadilly Circus which is famous for the fountain and the advertising screens:
Full of energy, we went to sightsee:
Found a new place to enjoy coffee - Costa in Borough. In London there were not many coffee shops with tables outside. It is tough to be a smoker in London. I bought a pack of Marlboro cigarettes in a newsstand in Piccaddily and it costed me around 10€, a bit more.
The next day we went to The Trafalgar Square and I went to The National Gallery, of course and then we went for a sushi to The Japan Center.
The next stop was Camden Town and shopping all day long:
Anja took me somewhere new: we ended up at the Rainforest Cafe which is a theme bar. There was a simulation of jungle storm every hour when the birds and other animals came out :

Anja took me to the Harry Potter Platform where there was
also a mall with all the wands and chocolate frogs and these Bertie Bott's
every flavour jelly beans. I loved that they played Harry Potter soundtracks in
there. It totally made the atmospehere:
Before it got dark we went back outside to take some
photographs of London:

Last but not least - Chinese New Year where my phone was
stolen so I had to call to Slovenia to cancel my former phone number:
