Living in London Bucket List

I have lots of things on my list to check off while living in London. I’m also sure there’s plenty I’ve forgotten (or just don’t even know about) so let me know if I missed something awesome that I totally need to check out. There’s likely going to be some things not on here (ie London Eye, Stonehenge) because I did them 3 years ago when I visited and don’t really need to do again. So, without further ado, my list of things to do while living in London.


  • Harry Potter Warner Bros studio tour
  • Tower of London
  • Walk across the top of Tower Bridge
  • Christmas markets
  • Any or all of the museums
  • Ice skating on one of the cute outdoor rinks
  • Walk across the Millenium Bridge
  • Go back and visit Sherlock and the TARDIS
  • Forbidden Planet
  • Fortnum & Mason
  • Nando’s (cheeky or otherwise)
  • Visit the rest of the UK
  • Go on a Harry Potter walking tour (or just find all the filming sites)
  • Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park
  • Football match
  • Filming of them Graham Norton Show
  • Watch a show on the West End
  • Climb the O2?
  • Harrod’s
  • Hotel Chocolat 
  • Visit the Lake District, Oxford and Cambridge (these are all places I’ve been told to visit)
  • Afternoon tea
  • Go to the otter sanctuary in Cornwall
  • Get a deep fried Mars bar
  • Sunday roast
  • Find all the cupcake shops
  • Find all the cute and quirky insta spots and statues
  • Visit the markets
  • House of MinaLima
  • The Shard
I know I have definitely missed some things but this is just my starter list that I’ll add to as the time goes on. I’m definitely open to suggestions though so let me know what I should do/see/eat while I’m here.

A Decade in Review

Image
It’s hard to believe it’s already the new year, and even harder to believe it’s a new decade. While sitting at home, alone, last night on New Years Eve I thought it would be fun to take a look back at all the things I’ve done in the last 10 years. Chances are there will be more in the second half than the first, partly because I did more and partly because my memory isn’t quite that good. Let’s start with a picture of Megan circa 2009 for that 10 year challenge shall we? This post will likely have lots of pictures. So, enjoy. If you follow me on Instagram, I apologize because after 2016 a lot are probably going to have been on there haha. And if you don't follow me on Instagram...why not? megpie.s. Go now :) What else happened to me in 2010? I graduated Travel & Tourism as a Georgian Scholar Went to the Harry Potter exhibit at the Science Centre I started Recreation & Leisure Services at Georgian Got my full G license Hmm. I’m sure other things happ...

6 Months Already

Image
It’s hard to believe I’ve been in England for 6 months already. If I’m completely honest, 2 of those months have been pretty good, 2 have been alright, and 2 have been pretty shit. Let’s see what I’ve been up to since my last update. I got a job doing event waitressing with an event placement company, but wasn’t getting a ton of shifts, but did end up working New Years Eve so didn’t have a very exciting start to the new decade. Was in my flat alone watching Graham Norton and fireworks on TV. I spent a lot of December and January just walking aimlessly around central London. I took a coach trip out of London beginning of January to Southampton to meet a friend who drove us to Portsmouth where we went to the arcade. I finally got to try a couple cupcake shops in London, they were decent enough. Made it to the science museum, which was pretty fun. I had actually worked an event there so it was nice to actually be able to look at all the stuff a bit closer. I took myself to go to Cirque...

Happy Half Birthday to Me

I have jumped on the bandwagon of creating a list of 30 things to do before I turn 30. I started on my 29th birthday, and I have 6 months left to go. I’m doing...ok. I had some plans fall through so I’m pretty sure I won’t get to complete all of them, but I’m at least going to try. Some of them are bigger and more exciting than others, and some are things I’ve been meaning to do for a while and this is a way to force me to do it. So, in no particular order, here is my list of 30 things to do before I turn 30. Move to another country (plan is in progress at the moment) Visit (at least) one new state (this is the one I’m pretty sure won’t be happening) Visit (at least) one new country Get a tattoo (my mother’s going to kill me if she reads this) Dye my hair a crazy colour (only dyed it normal colours before) Donate blood (have done before but haven’t done in a while) Get a manicure (have gotten one before but it’s kind of nice so want to go again) Finish t shirt quilt (massive...
