Birthday Celebrations in London...

It was my boyfriend's Birthday a few weeks ago and as it was his 21st I treated him with tickets to Les Mis in London! We both love the show and the music and probably together know all the words! We just stayed in London for one night but we tried to pack as much as we could into the time we had.

When we arrived we met up with Andrew's sister and her husband who were also in London and we had lunch at an amazing bbq place that I can't remember the name of! I had the most incredible pulled pork sandwich with tasty fries and sauce. It was so good I clearly forgot to take a photo but you can take my word for it that it was amazing! After lunch we headed to Hyde Park and sunbathed! We embraced the heat wave that hit England!

Andrew and I then left the park and headed to our Hotel. We stayed in the Strand Palace which was very very nice and right in the heart of Covent Garden. We found our rooms, got changed and then headed out for pre theatre dinner! Neither of us had ever been to Zizi's before so we decided to give it a go and loved it! We went to the one on the Strand which is underground and really cool. We both had super tasty mains and shared some cheesy garlic bread.

It was then time to head to the theatre! We were both so excited, it was my first ever time seeing a show in London too so I was super excited. We had amazing seats, we were so close to the stage which just made the whole evening even better. The performance was incredible! I could watch it over and over, the actors were amazing. Before heading back to the hotel we thought it would be fun to go meet some of the cast at stage door! We got photos with the actors who played Marius, Fantine, Enjolras and Jean valjean! It just topped off an already perfect evening!

We then spent the second day exploring, we visited Piccadilly Circus, Covent Garden, Westminster and Buckingham Palace. Here are a collection of my photos from the trip...
