An afternoon sightseeing in London

A few weeks ago my eldest girl and I went on another day trip to go sightseeing London. We were travelling over to attend an event with Bafta Kids & the Disney channel, for the amazing new show Milo Murphy’s Law {airing on April 3rd!}. But after the event we had some time to explore before our flight home, so we did just that.

We had never gone sightseeing or been to the Piccadilly/Leicester Square part of London before, so it was quite exciting getting to do a bit of sightseeing. Getting to see China town, lots of really cool street performers and being in Leicester Square it was a no-brainer that we had to visit three very cool places. The LEGO Store, the M&M superstore {did you know this store has four floors!?} and lastly, the Nickelodeon store.

The queue to get into the Lego store was insane and how random that the store itself doesn’t even open until 10 am! Is that just an England thing? Either way, we found that quite random, so we decided to visit the M&M store first because you know…chocolate! Inside this store is insane. There are literally M&M’s everywhere. There were M&M hoody’s, socks, onesies, all kinds of M&M candy dispensers, purses, plush, hell….literally everything!

The Nickelodeon store was pretty cool too, a little….Spongebob Squarepants overkill but cool nonetheless. However, the Lego store was the best part. The place was crazy busy but we shuffled our way around. My daughter made a beeline for the Brickheadz {because she is obsessed!} and she bought herself a Lego City Pizza truck too. So she was happy! I, of course, couldn’t leave without picking up a Batman Brickheadz for my Lego Batman obsessed four years old. Needless to say when I gave it to her the next day she was beside herself with joy.

After all of the sightseeing, my eldest girl surprised me with an early Mother’s day pub lunch. Which her & my husband conspired together to pull off. Isn’t that the sweetest thing! We went to a place called The Shakespear {I think!} and it was just facing Victoria station. It just meant we could put our feet up, fill our faces and just rest for a few hours before starting our journey home. It was so so lovely and we really did fill our faces – it was glorious! 

Please excuse my I’ve-been-up-since-4am-face but by this point {around 5 pm} we were pretty tired! We had such a fun day together and I just love having that one on one time with my eldest girl. London has sort of became ‘our place’ for days out together and I just love that! 

Until next time London!

PIN IT FOR LATER!
