Hi, I'm Meike, and today I'm going to take you along for a day at and around LSE
because it is located right in the heart of London and there's so much to explore!
But first, we need to go to library, do some work, get some lunch and then we'll go.
Let's go! *claps*
So I headed to library because I had to write an essay which needed to hand in the week after.
But after some work, I went to the Student's Union building to get some food -
actually, I brought my own food
which I heated up in the microwave quite close to the Faith Centre.
But I didn't have lunch all on my own,
I met at the Fourth Floor Restaurant in Old Building with a friend, where we had lunch together.
He got food in the cafeteria and I ate the food I brought which I warmed up which was delicious as you can tell!
And after I've done some work in the morning at the library or in Old Building,
we went for a nice walk and actually started to explore the area around LSE
because as I said it's right in the heart of the city
and there are so nice areas to explore - so come with me!
First, we went a little bit around Temple which is super close to uni
and just so nice and quiet to explore;
but then made our way to St. Paul's Cathedral,
where we just had this sneaky little look inside but didn't go fully
and we just wanted to check it out and have a look.
After exploring its interiors, we also went into its gardens which were super nice and like a green oasis in the city.
But talking of green oasis, we went to Sky Gardens!
We queued for a while... very british!
And then we took the elevator all the way up to 35th floor,
where we had just stunning views all over the city, I can only recommend!
You really have the prettiest view of Tower Bridge, The Shard, Thames - everything.
I can only recommend, it's free
and it's not only the view, it's also a very nice garden
and you get some tropical vibes in the heart of London.
But we weren't done yet and went on exploring
and went to Tower of London and Tower Bridge,
where we enjoyed the nicest sunset and the greatest colours, it was just a stunning view.
And also the area is such a nice contrast of old and new and just lovely to explore.
It was a sunny and cold day, we were freezing and had like a small coffee break to warm up.
And then enjoyed the sunset at the same spot as we did earlier,
just because now the colors were even crazier and it was just so lovely to see.
Having wandered quite a lot we then took the tube from Tower Hill Station right into the city centre,
actually to China Town,
because at this point we were pretty hungry and it was time for food,
so we went to get some!
But as we checked out all the touristy spots this day,
we also went quickly to Piccadilly Circus
and then finally made it to China Town.
There we had noodles, dumplings and tea,
and we just called in the night because it's been a long day!
But thanks for following me along, see you next time!
