    South Bank, Tate Modern, & County Hall

    We returned from our trip to the Cotswolds for another couple days of exploring in London. My horrible cold had reared its ugly head again overnight, and I awoke feeling groggy and queasy. We had reservations for breakfast at Dishoom and went ahead with the plan, but I had an appetite only for a small […]

    Day trip to the Cotswolds & Oxford from London

    After a whirlwind start in London, we ventured out of the city for a day in the English countryside. I had read about the Cotswolds during my travel research and was keen to see this historic area. We found a well reviewed tour company called Rabbie’s and headed out in the morning to Victoria Station […]

    Afternoon tea and Churchill War Rooms

    Following a full first day in London, we continued on with our busy itinerary. On this day, I had originally booked us tickets to tour the Buckingham Palace State Rooms and we were also planning to watch the changing of the guard. Unfortunately, the palace was closed to visitors immediately after news of the Queen’s […]

    Sky Garden, Tower of London, & Westminster Abbey

    Despite my scratchy throat rapidly evolving into a full blown head cold, I pushed through our jam-packed first full day in London. We awoke early in the morning and crossed London Bridge toward our first stop of the day, Sky Garden. Along the way, we admired some views overlooking the River Thames and the London […]

    Landing in London: Borough Market and Covent Garden

    We departed to London on an overnight flight from Toronto via Icelandair. Because we had booked with the Stopover in Iceland program, we had a short layover in Reykjavik and tiny preview of Iceland before travelling onward into London. As I mentioned in my last post, I had some concerns about being caught up in […]

    A historic time in London (plus an epic stopover in Iceland)

    On Thursday September 8th 2022, Buckingham Palace announced via BBC that Queen Elizabeth II had passed away at the age of 96, ending a reign of 70 years and 214 days — the longest of any British monarch. As fate would have it, this announcement preceded our departure to London by about 24 hours, so […]

    Return of the Canadian National Exhibition

    The Labour Day long weekend is a bittersweet time for us. It marks the end of summer but also the start of shoulder season for travel, which is when we usually take our trips — including our highly anticipated visit to London and Iceland coming up very soon. At least this year, we were able […]
