A Trip to the Capital

Although I was born in London I left when I was around 2 to live in the Midlands. I don't visit so often since my grandparents died, so it was nice too stay for a few days with my brother, who moved to the capital when he was 18.

The public transport in London is absolutely fantastic, I don't think we waited more than 3 minutes for any bus or tube... I can't see why anyone would bother driving there. With Oyster cards in hand and an App on the phone to help us find our way about we visited many places, some I had been to as a child, for others it was my first visit.
