Trip Moments in Reading
🎄✨ NEED A LITTLE TRAVEL THERAPY? LONDON AT CHRISTMAS IS THE ANSWER! 🇬🇧❤️
“If your idea of therapy involves twinkling lights, beautiful views, festive markets, cosy drinks and a LOT of walking, then you need to experience London at Christmas!”
🇬🇧 7 London Souvenirs That Won’t Take Up Your Whole Suitcase
“As I’m waiting for my friend to arrive in Gatwick airport, I thought I’d write about bringing something home from London, but I’m not a fan of buying souvenirs that take up half my luggage.”
Back from London | I really don't recommend visiting in September–October, because it's just too...
“London is full of surprises around every corner.”

🇬🇧 Just an Avg Day in London… 🦢🌳
“London has a reputation for being expensive, but some of my favourite days here barely cost anything.”
Plan It or Wing It? My Royal Day Trip at Windsor Castle
“Every UK day trip lover faces the classic travel dilemma, and my visit to Windsor Castle gave me the clearest balance between laid-back wing-it exploration and non-negotiable planned sightseeing.”
Living in London, I still gasp at the price of a single tube journey. Yes, this city is painfully expensive (my bank account cries daily 🫠), but you can absolutely do 5 days here and have the best time! Here is my curated, budget-friendly 5-day survival guide. Grab your brolly and let's go! 🌧️👇 ✨ My absolute faves: · British Museum: It’s free! (Curator assistant perk: seeing the Rosetta Stone up close never gets old). Just book ahead! · Tower Bridge & Big Ben: Best at twilight. Golden hour here is unmatched 🤩 · Borough Market: Foodie heaven. Go hungry, leave happy. · Notting Hill: Colourful houses and cute market stalls. Peak relaxation. 📅 The 5-Day Cheat Sheet: D1: Big Ben walk -> Tower Bridge at night 🌉 D2: British Museum -> Trafalgar Square -> Covent Garden eats D3: Royal vibes at Buckingham Palace -> Notting Hill wandering 🌸 D4: Day trip to Windsor Castle (v. historical, v. pretty) D5: Feasting at Borough Market 🤤 💡 How to save your pennies: 1. Tap in with contactless or an Oyster card! Never buy single paper tickets, please. 2. Hit up local pubs in residential areas for Sunday roast or Shepherd's pie instead of pricey tourist-trap restaurants. 3. Pack layers. The British weather is basically a moody teenager. Have you been to London yet? Let me know your favourite free spot! 👇
