The Lord Mayor's Show

Dear Everyone,

this Saturday was the Lord Mayor's Show in London, a parade to celebrate the new Lord Mayor of the City of London. The City of London is also known as the Square Mile, an independent county in the heart of London. There's a new Lord Mayor elected every year, who then lives in Mansion House. We've been to the parade on Saturday and although we spent two hours watching in the rain, it was fantastic. So much to see and good vibes all around. Brits know how to celebrate. 

After getting all wet we warmed up again in Starbucks, before we went on wandering through London. We wanted to go to the Bank of England Museum, but it was closed. So we decided to just walk around and see where we would land. In the end we saw St Paul's Cathedral at night, which was intimidating and a bit scary. Over Strand and Aldwych we made our way to Covent Garden where we watched a street performer and found the most magnificent Christmas tree. After a short walk to Leicester Square we left the theatre-goers behind and went back home. 

On Sunday we took it easy and took the Tube all the way out to Wembley Stadium, just wandering around all day. We also saw the X-Factor studios and that was about it. Next weekend is already planned and I can't wait.

See you!
