one week in london 🇬🇧 thrifting, coffee, parks, and a coastal day trip

In this vlog, I visited London for the first time along with my fiancé and his family over NYE. We kept it light on doing touristy things and focused a lot of our time experiencing London as if we truly lived there. If that's your vibe, here are some recs for your upcoming trip that I personally loved: FOOD/COFFEE: * Firebird: Their beet root salad was a freaking miracle. * The Nomad Hotel: Really good coffee and solid veggie english breakfast. * Ria's Pizza: Some of the best vegan pizza I've ever had. * Nando's: Perfect for a quick bite Also, don't sleep on pubs!! London gets busy and almost everything required a reservation for us (especially during the holidays), so pubs made it easy for us to get a bite. SHOPPING: * Couverture & The Garbstore: My fav shop there. Literally had so many brands I love. * Brick Lane Vintage Market: I could wander through here for hourrrrrs. ACTIVITIES: * Watch the sunrise at Primrose Hill then walk through Regents Park (or grab a bike like we did - less cars in the morning) * Take a day trip to see Seven Sisters (do your research first and check for weather conditions) * If you want to see the Big Ben without crowds, try going at night instead! 00:00 intro 00:45 our hotel (nomad london) 01:48 dinner @ firebird 02:34 my first english breakfast 03:09 shopping in shoreditch 04:16 big ben + the london eye 05:45 the tate modern (museum) 06:06 nye dinner + festivities 07:07 sunrise at primrose hill 08:45 walking along the canal 09:15 bike ride to regents park 10:50 harry potter experience 11:15 the victoria embankment gardens + bridge views 12:30 westminster abbey 13:00 notting hill (ft. my fav vegan pizza and fav shop) 14:05 family + birthdays 14:25 getting ready for day trip 15:02 otw to seaford 15:20 and the hike begins! 19:39 last day in london 20:30 last shopping in shoreditch photos featured in this vlog were taken by my mans!!!!
