We actually passed through London twice: first on the way to Nairobi from Seattle on the first day of our trip, then on the way back from East Africa before making our way down to Spain.

Short but sweet was our visit to London in July. Four days was just enough to remind ourselves that we want to spend more time in this incredible city. Watching the Lion King was fantastic, and our day trips to Winchester, Salisbury and Oxford were also incredible. Thanks again to Tijana for letting us crash and for being such a great hostess!
