Pret a Manger, London {May, 2014}
After our smaller-than-expected-but-still-tasty dinner at St. John’s Restaurant and Bar, off we wandered again.
This telephone booth was an interesting find.

If you watch Sherlock, you might be familiar with this ambulance station…
(I watched that episode on the plane on our way back home, a couple weeks later, and was like WAIT A MINUTE I WAS TOTALLY JUST THERE.)

Our favorite part about London was the architecture. There are so many interesting buildings here!

We found the Blackfriar…

Who was right next to our intended destination: Blackfriar Station

From there, we took the District line to Westminster station. The moment we stepped out of the station, we looked up and realized we had found Big Ben!

He was looking quite dashing on this stormy night.

And right across the way, you could see the London Eye.

We headed across the river to get a better look.

… I kind of feel like we just upskirted the London Eye.

After seeing the sights, we headed back to the hotel, and stopped by a Pret a Manger to pick up food.

Pret a Manger is a food-to-go type of place, with lots of pre-made dishes to try.
We got a Vietnamese salad, crawfish sandwich, and a bottle of mandarin lychee juice, and took them back to our hotel to eat.

Soon after, it was off to bed.
Next, we’ll be off to Chelsea Stadium!

I’ve always wanted to visit the UK and especially London. Great sights.
