I actually started this post shortly after our trip in January and it's been a draft since then. There are just so many things to share from our trip in England it'll take a while to get to it all but I'm already starting to forget things, it already seems so long ago. Here's to getting started!
After four years we finally made it back to England! We were last there Christmas 2017 and it was overdue. It was so good to be back and spend time with family and visit new places, and old favorite places.
We flew into Gatwick Airport and took a train into London Kings Cross station via the Underground. We had a few hours before taking a train to Hull.
The London Library was a short walk from the train station and ended up being such a cool place to visit.
The four story floors of old encased books were stunning, and the architecture of the building was impressive.
There was a fee exhibit with lots of old books and maps in history and in different languages. There was also original compositions from incredible composers! That was my favorite part.
Painting of Beethoven! There was actually a cool exhibit with a Beethoven theme that I wish I paid extra to tour. I've played much of his music.
The free exhibit had so many old books and maps.
There was a little coffee shop inside and tables with people drinking and eating, and it was so crazy how the people were casually sitting in this incredible library like it was no big deal. Tourist over here. ;)
Grabbed this "viola" ornament souvenir from the gift shop in the library.
Such interesting architecture.
Really looking forward to coming back.
