Team London!! As I've told you, I studied abroad there and my classes were all in the South Kensington neighborhood which was so cute :) My flat was in Knighstbridge, around the corner from Harrods and it was wild being in that rich of an area.... but sharing a 1BR flat with 5 others brought me back down to earth :)
I'm not sure if this is still the case, but I loved that so many of the museums were free, so you didn't feel like you had to stay there 5 hours to make it "worth it" - I LOVED the Tate Modern, and British Museum especially. The last time I was in London, I remember loving taking a Thames river cruise to Greenwich, going to some of the further out neighborhoods/areas of London like Hampstead, and also Hampton Court. So many places about an hour outside London to do a cute day trip too - Bath, and areas of the Cotswolds are so beautiful too - I remember going to Stratford upon Avon with my Shakespeare class and it was lovely! I've never been but hear that Cambridge and Oxford are great.
5 people in a 1BD?! Well, college is a special time, LOL. Yes, many of the museums are still free, though some have special exhibits that you have to pay for if you want to see them. We wanted to do a river cruise but ran out of time and we definitely wanted to do some exploring outside of London. So if/when we go back, those things are on our list!
Wow, looks like you all actually did a lot in 5 days!!!
