Back in May 2012 – a year before I started blogging regularly – I spent a month in London, England for what Vanderbilt calls a Maymester. I took a class on the changes that happened in literature due to the religious changes during the Tudor period, so it was basically heaven for me. I was giddy the entire time, and I wish I could go do it all over again. So today I thought I would look back at the trip and share where in London (and the London area) I would go again.
I have included links to my travel blog that I kept while I was studying. Hopefully those posts I wrote will help you decide if you want to go there!

Only just moved to London a few months ago, and I’m really loving it! Definitely so many places to visit and see. So much that I need to explore 🙂
