London Day 2: Shopping And London By Night

Brompton Road

Since our London sightseeing tour ended pretty quickly and it was also quite cold outside, we decided to walk along Constitution Hill, saw the Wellington Arch, then went to visit one of London’s famous stores: Harrods.

I couldn’t spend more than 10 min in front of another WordPress admin. But I saved all the ideas and great memories and I will tell you all about it in my next couple of posts.
