Things to do in London

London is one of the world's most visited places. There are many attractions to visit in London. People buy the London Pass and visit attractions such as the London Eye, British Museum, Buckingham Palace, National Gallery, Big Ben, Tower Bridge and so on. London is also a great shopping spot. Girls and women walk straight into Topshop store and walk out with several bags of clothes. Guys get Premier League soccer tickets and watch their favorite teams play. As for me, I would rather visit Harry Potter Studio and West End theatres.

• Harry Potter Studio Tour

When I planed to visit London, the first thing came into my mind was going to Harry Potter Studio. As a big fan of Harry Potter, it was the perfect place to enjoy my stay in London. I wanted to try the infamous Every Flavour Beans and Chocolate Frog. Unfortunately, the tickets to the Harry Potter Studio tour were all sold out, even though there were still two weeks left before my arrival in London. If you plan to visit the Harry Potter Studio in London, I strongly recommend you to buy your ticket as far in advance as possible.

• Seeing London Musicals

While you are walking down the central London streets, you can see many Musical theatres. I saw ‘Mamma Mia!’ and ‘Billy Elliot: The Musical’ during my stay in London. They both cost a lot of money, but it was totally deserved. These are my favorite musicals:
