It smelled like M&Ms as soon as you walked in and it was just nothing but merchandise everywhere. Once 12pm rolled around, we met our tour guide for our walking tour. He was very well educated on all things Harry Potter and we were so impressed. We went all the way through Leicester Square, to Traflagar Square, on a short boat ride on the Thames River, walked down the Southbank, and up to King's Cross station where we ended. We were able to take pictures by Platform 9 and 3/4!
The tour was about 2 and a half hours long and we were starved, so we went a grabbed some food near King's Cross. We kept seeing a restaurant called Pret A Manger everywhere, so we decided to try that out. I had a lemon and salmon sandwich which was so good! It was mainly organic food, so we worked with what we had. It was almost 4pm at this point, and we thought it was still a bit early to call it a day, so we took a bus back over to Trafalgar Square to check out the National Portrait Gallery, which has free admission. There we saw portraits and sculptures of those such as Shakespeare, Darwin, and modern figures. We went back to the flat around 5:30 to relax for a bit and decided to get a late dinner in Hackney. We found a Spanish cuisine restaurant called Machete which was absolutely delicious. I had a chicken quesadilla and Scott had pork nachos. After we got dessert across the street at an Italian restaurant called Su Sazzagoni. We split some chocolate and vanilla ice cream topped with whipped cream and chocolate syrup. After we were sated, we went back to the flat and called it a night.
