London '23, Day 2: Obligatory Spots + Bike Rides

We started our second day in London by arriving early to the Tower of London. There, we learned some of the tower’s history, gawked at the ginormous ravens, and marveled at the Crown Jewels.

Thank you to my man ♥️

Our first full English breakfasts, eaten at Natural Kitchen

After this meal, we rented Lime Bikes and rode to artsy area of Bankside. We initially made our way to Bankside to view the Millennium Bridge (which is in the beginning of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) but discovered the Tate Museum while there.

Knowing our friend Nicholas, who was meeting us in London from Berlin, would enjoy this museum, we only stayed for a bit and then returned with Nicholas to further explore a few days later.

To end our night, we met up with our sister-in-law, Jess, as she was in London for work. We ate at the delicious Indian restaurant, Dishoom, in Covent Garden.
