Although I have lived in London for nearly five years, I’m still in awe of what it has to offer. It’s an incredible city for sure, and I like to sometimes sit down and scroll through the camera roll on my phone to remind myself how lucky I am to live here. From green spaces to wildlife, historical landmarks to modern skyscrapers, free-to-enter festivals in the heart of the city and train connections allowing the best of day trips. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the beauty of London in my eyes – late spring and early summer 2024 edition.
