Today I was finally reunited with Hannah, Shayna and Abby. We met at the busy Euston station to drop our bags off for a couple of hours before we set off for Sky Garden, one of the best views of the city. Only Hannah, Abby and I went as we left shayna to catch up on the other tourist sites as this is her first and only day in London. Entry to Sky Garden is free to anyone who has a pre booked ticket which you need to get 2-3 weeks in advance. I would highly recommend this for anyone visiting London, the views were amazing.
After Sky Garden we met up with Shayna at Euston again to pick up our bags and find our Airbnb. The Airbnb is right in the heart of Camden. It is a tiny room with two double beds and just enough floor space to fit our suitcases, but for price and location it is perfect for us for one night. After a quick rest, we met up with Lloyd, who we went to school with and is also visiting London at the moment. Then we walked up the street to the renowned Camden Markets, a hippy/grungy area filled with street stalls selling food/clothes/jewellry/souvenirs and other interesting bits and pieces. Unfortunately although it was only 6:30pm, most of the stalls were closing for the day. Nevertheless we found a handmade pasta stall where we had a delicious meal, followed by Nutella, strawberry and banana crepes.
Boarding the Contiki bus today and heading to Paris!

Looks like a fantastic view of the city and the Thames river from the Sky garden. We got similar views from the London Eye.
