UK Part 4 (London)

Tuesday, December 26, 2017


Okay, now how to begin this, 

Historically, the British Empire first came to Malaya in the late 1700s. In the late 18th century the British East India Company traded with, and partly controlled India. At that time they began looking for a base in Malaya and eventually conquered Malaysia. (source from Google.com)

So, every Malaysians dream to visit England ever since they began studying History at school and my family and I are no exception (pretty cliche). We intended to visit the capital city of England, which is London.

London offers many attractions but since we have limited time to spend (which was 1 full day only) and its Winter time, these are the attractions that we managed to cover within a day.

1) Heathrow Airport Terminal 4  (FREE)
Always been dreaming to visit Heathrow as I often heard it inside Newspapers/ TVs. Little did I know that it has more than 1 terminal..


 2)Harrods  (FREE)
Shoping paradise for..the rich people only. Not for myself. But I like touring Harrods- it offers so many goods all over the world- in luxury form.



3) Overlooking the London Eye  (FREE)
Since all of us are cheapskate travelers, instead of queuing and paying a lump sum of money to be on London eye, we chose a spot that we can take photos of overlooking the London Eye itself.


4) Posing at the London's phone booth  (FREE)
Its a must when visiting London! ha ha ha 


5) St. James Park  (FREE)
We stopped for a while before heading to Buckingham for a cup of coffee.


6) Buckingham Palace  (FREE)
Witnessing change of guard was a good experience. Once in a lifetime..also, beware of pickpockets!!




8) Touring London city via the double decker bus using Oyster Card (8 POUNDS MAXIMUM)
Waste of time. Should've take tube instead.


9) The British Museum  (FREE)
Great experience. And free admission as well. Should've spent 1 dedicated day exploring the museum.



10) Tower Bridge (FREE)
Iconic and a must go place when in London




That sums up my cheapskate adventure in London...now heading to the next part in the next post...
