OMG, cannot believe that my London trip is about to come to an end. Gosh, you know when you're having so much fun, it doesn't feel like you've spent an entire week there. It just feels like you can keep spending another week and another week there.
So anyway, as I was strolling on the street in London and saw this big black cab all dressed up in Malaysia's Tourism Ad, I knew I just have to go home already.
But of course not before we visit the last and final London's 'must-visit' spot. 
Yes, it is The Harrods. It is established maybe earlier but this particular building in Knightsbridge fronting the Hyde Park is up in 1849. Harrods has since changed ownership a couple of times. Although it is as English as you can get, it is now owned by Arabs. 
And how does the Arab smack some dirt on the English in their own land? Built a memorial of their Princess of Wales (mother of their future king) with her boyfriend Dodi Fayed. Apart from the picture of them both, there's a wine glass smudged with lipstick from Diana's last dinner as well as what is described as an engagement ring Dodi purchased the day before they died. OK, seriously, this is so wrong in so many levels ... nevermind, I'll keep my thoughts to myself.
Finally to end my beautiful journey in London, we have an English Afternoon Tea at Harrods. How much more English can this get.Location : London, England
Date of travel : Jun 2008, Summer
First stop, Camden Town. Existed since 1790s, Charles Dickens named Camden Town as the location for his all time classic, the Christmas Carol. I couldn't find 'Scrooge and Marley' signage anywhere though. 
This little old town has now been transform into the so-called centre for Arts, media, fashion and music. In reality, it’s like a ‘gwailo' red district area. 
There’s punk culture, 
A notably important place that we must land our feet on is the Camden Markets which is a collection of a few adjoining markets. It is the fourth most popular visitor attraction in London, attracting approximately 100,000 people each weekend! We managed to cover only two.
Camden Lock Market is originally a craft market. Nowadays the range of goods has widened, with stalls selling books, new and second-hand clothing, and jewellery, but it is still the most craft-focused of the Camden Markets. 
The Horse Stables Market on the other hand is the largest part of the Camden Market. 
Stables Market has many clothes stalls as well as decorative items which are hand-made, and often ethnically influenced. Some of the goods are second-hand or twentieth-century antiques. 
Look at the un-enthusiastic face of the 3 shopaholics. We don't have a single shopping bag with us, how can this happened? Renee left us after this to head to Bond St and Regent St again but I'm determined to explore more of the artsy London.
There are a lot of cafes and bars at the Convent Garden for you to sit down, take a sip of coffee and review the 'artist' talent. You know, if you dream of becoming the next Simon Cowell or Piers Morgan, then this is the place to get the training in criticising hopeful artist; except that you need to do it in your head unless you don't mind getting bashed by them.
Ahhh, the smell of the new wool and the warmnest it provides in the chilly weather ... feels so English already. Ok, to justify my English culture claim here, do you know that Burberry is founded in 1856 in England, thats like one and a half century ago! I mean just look at the nova check or better known as the Burberry check, you immediately feel so English. Now, that's the best way to continue on my London sight seeing journey.
You mean this? Yeah, this is called the Tower Bridge, not London Bridge. Damn, we were taught the wrong thing since the age of 3 years old. See, this is why travelling is so important. Don't always believe what you read or are taught unless you see it with your own eyes.
The Tower Bridge, open officially in 1894, has gotta be one of the most iconic structure of London. I mean if you're not here while in London, you cannot claim that you've been to London.
The Tower Bridge over the Thames River is really a very beautiful sight. As I stand right here, looking at this beautiful structure, I feel from the core of my heart and wish to yell it out that ... YES, I'M IN LONDON! 
I mean, just look at the detail of the structure, simply awesomely beautiful. 
On one of the main boulevard along the Thames River is this huge telescope. If you look at the screen on the telescope, you'll see the view of a street in Manhattan in US. And it's 'live'. Which means if you wave at a guy who look into a similar telescope in Manhattan, he can see you and waves back. And so we wave and wave at each other like idiots. OK, this is no rocket science; its just a bloody google live feed, you know, nothing much different than you having a video chat with your friend in MSN or Skype ... ah-ha-ha-ha, now you know why I called us idiots. But what the heck, it makes us laugh and probabaly make the guy in Manhattan laughs too. 
Yes, more posing in my Burberry scarf on a beautiful spring day in London ... ahhh, simply one of the most memorably day I have in my travelling experience. 
Further on from the Tower Bridge, we head to the Tower of London. The Tower of London was build in 1078 by William the Conqueror. The primary function was a fortress, a royal palace, and a prison for high status and royal prisoners, such as the Queen Elizabeth I. It is also apparently the most haunted building in England. The famous one being ghost of Queen Anne Boleyn. Since they can named the ghost, maybe it's true?!!?
OK OK, ghost or no ghost, we didn’t went in because were too cheap skate to pay the entrance fee although of course Moggie and Annette failed to tell us that the Queen's Crown of Jewel is an exhibit inside ... what a shame we missed that.
But we didn't missed posing all around the tower. 
St Paul Cathedral, right in the heart of the city, big, majestic, 17th century etc etc etc … and requires entrance fee. Can you believe it? Entrance fee to go into a church!!! Seriously, if Lady Diana did not wed here, I wouldn’t have bother to come. 
Anyway this picture was taken by Moggie lying down on the floor or else couldn’t capture the whole building. Next.
First stop, Trafalgar Square. You know in those travel shows where you see lots of pigeons walking and hoping on people who feed them? Yeah, it is in Trafalgar Square but I didn't see a single pigeon at all. All I do see is lots of people there waiting ... maybe for the pigeons to land. Now I guess that's why the pigeon all run-away.
So the next best thing to do is to post for pictures. See this lion statue? Yeah, must have some sort of reason why so many people go through the trouble to have this shot. What trouble? Yeah, see the below picture ... 
It is built on a concrete stab at least six feet high, so we gotta climb our way up, or for my case, get drag all the way up. 
Another photo ops at Trafalgar Square 
Facing the famous Trafalgar Square is the National Gallery. Just by taking a picture in front of this fabulously intellectual looking building makes us look smarter already! 
Boy, aren't we glad we followed Moggie's suggestion as the sights all around London town is just so very beautiful.
Since we're walking, we can also run to the middle of the road at a traffic light and strike a pose! Only can be done if you're a walking tourist.
Tada! The Buckingham Palace. The official residence of the British Monarch. Prince William and Prince Harry not in? WTF?!?! OK, let's continue our walking journey.
Next stop, the Big Ben! Must be the most famous clock tower in the world right? Built in 1834, apparently still the largest 4-faced clock tower in the world. Since there's only 5 more minutes, we waited for the clock to strike and listen 'live' how it sounds like. OK, I didn't turn into Cruella or anything. 
No, its not just a freaking telephone booth. It's the Iconic Red London Telephone Booth!
Located at the Jubilee Garden, this is the London Eye. It is Europe's tallest ferris wheel.
The entrance fee to Madam Tussaud is £25 per pax and has taken us exactly 1 hour to complete. In other words it cost us RM3 per minute! OK, so that is how much it takes to fulfilled a little girl's dream.
