Almost a month since I got back from London and finally I have managed to go through the photographs and select the "Best", dropping the numbers from 736 to a nice bundle of 250 photos.
Compared to the warm 35 C° here in Milan, London gave me a cold, windy and last but not least a rainy weather experience bringing down the temperatures to 19-20 C° during the day and a “lovely” 15-16 C° in the evening at the end of July (I’m kidding when I said “lovely”, it was COLD T____T).
Travelling from Standard airport to central London did take forever thanks to the train and the traffic that it bought. I do recommend taking the Terravision coach (15£) instead of the National Express coach (17£) only for the price difference.
It was less than a 4 day vacation in the busy capital and yes we all knew that it was impossible to see the entire city but we hoped to get as much as possible therefore buying a 2 day "london pass" to use on the weekend seemed to be the best option and just our luck when we also got a 10% discount with the online purchase. But sadly we didn't calculate the possibility that some main attractions, like the Westminster abbey are closed on Sundays and the Kensington palace entrance closed 1 hour before the actual closing time. So next time, read the guide book a bit more! or just don’t buy the pass!

Nevertheless despite suffering the cold, I was able to get the best out of worst and here I present to you some of my favourites.
