British accents. Princes and princesses. So much history. I’ve wanted to visit London, England for as long as I can remember and I finally got a chance to last month! Below I’m sharing my travel tips for London, so you know what to eat, do, and see while traveling across the pond:

Where to Stay:

Book a room at the Hilton Kensington.

Near multiple Underground stations, free WiFi, and a delicious breakfast spread full of traditional British dishes.

What to Do:

Bring out your inner wizard or witch at the Platform 9 and 3/4 photo op at King’s Cross Station.
