Camden is so diverse, the people, the places. There is also no sense of judgement there and the atmosphere is so wonderful.

We walked through Camden, until we got to the famous Camden locks.

Today, we took another lovely day trip to London town!



I went to London a few weeks back, you can see that post here: http://justbreathe-through-wanderlust.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/day-trip-to-london.html



Our first stop of the day was St. Pancras Station. Although we didn't get the train to London we went there anyway to see it! It is a beautifully astounding place, to be quite honest I have never seen a station as big...then again I haven't really seen many stations...


We walked around the bottom floor, which has the shops, ticket offices and so on. We went outside to see the building itself, and it really does not look at all like a station; it's more like a really important place!

The archway in and out of the station also looks like something from the Harry Potter films, although I believe the station they used was Kings Cross

The Statue that is at the top level of the station

tiles on the floor spreading inspiration to all who walk! :)

After looking outside, and taking photos -of course! We headed back in for a spot of lunch, since we were both quite hungry. We went to the Italian restaurant Carluccio's...

my main course of pasta! :)

After lunch we moved onto South Kensington (the name of which I could not remember...probably because it's not on monopoly haha), after getting off there we walked to Hyde Park and started making our way to Buckingham Palace.

We walked down Exhibition Road where all the museums were, I really want to see them one day, probably in the winter - when it's too cold to be walking. I didn't take any photos down there though because it started to rain a little so we hurried! But it is beautiful down that area!



Hyde Park was really a lovely park, nice and clean too! There was also A LOT of ice cream vans and huts there and you could even hire deck chairs or go on a pedal boat!

It was kinda fun to people watch there too as there was so much going on; rollerskating, picnics, riding bikes...we even saw one couple sat on the grass leaning on each others backs both reading books! It would really be a lovely day out just to the park!

After the walk through Hyde Park we then had a long walk to Buckingham Palace, which was okay because

The roof of the gallery is really quite pretty I think, a piece of art in itself.
