2 Days in London – What Would YOU Do?

This week my beloved cousin, Georgina, is coming to visit all the way for Australia. Born in England, her family emigrated to the other side of the world 10 years ago. Despite this, we have both remained very close. Thanks Skype!

It’s due to be a bit of an emotional reunion as we haven’t seen each other for 5 years. The last time we were together was in Cambodia having spent a rather whirlwind time in Southeast Asia. It was a pretty emotional moment to say goodbye, and I don’t think either of us expected it to be this long before we saw each other again. But it’s finally here!

This Wednesday I will be picking up Georgina and her boyfriend Jason from Heathrow and we will have a jam-packed 36 hours of fun in London before we head up to the Midlands to see the family.

I’ve always wanted their first experience of their trip to be a good ol’ knees up in London. We are limited on time as we have a little girl’s birthday to get back to. So we have to be super efficient with our time and energy to squeeze in as much as awesomeness as we can.

So what can we do in 36 hours in London?

Well, I’ve got us booked into a central London place. So we are pretty much walking distance to the West End. I’ve prepared our Oyster cards at the ready.

Of course, London being so vast and varied you can live there a lifetime and not see it all. So we want to get some key sights in.

There are the obvious tourist spots such as Buckingham Palace, Westminster, Trafalgar Square, London Eye, Tower of London, River Thames.

Then there are the different neighbourhoods, Soho, Covent Garden, Kensington, Shoreditch, Brixton, Notting Hill, Greenwich.

Not forgetting the amazing food and drink establishments on offer.

Oh my … there is SO MUCH TO DO IN LONDON!

I need your help!

I have a burgeoning list of things I want to share with my cousin but limited on time. So I would love to have your input, dear reader…

What is your MUST DO or SEE in London?
