With a city so packed full of adventure spots like London, it can be hard to know what the must-sees are. So, now that I have several weeks in London under my belt, I thought I would point out some of my favorites.

1. Oxford University

Madelyn Neal

Just one hour outside the city, this is the perfect day trip! Make sure to spend time at the Bodleian libraries while you are there!

2. A Book Crawl

Madelyn Neal

Like a pub crawl, only much more educational (and probably more expensive)! Make your way to classics like Daunt and Persephone's to explore the hidden books of London!

3. Bath

Madelyn Neal

It is such a beautiful city; everywhere you turn there is a new clever boutique or restaurant, and you can even stop at the Jane Austen Centre to see how she lived and wrote in that city. There is so much to do, historic and otherwise! I would even recommend going for longer than a day: it is the perfect weekend locale!

4. Covent Gardens

Madelyn Neal

This is the perfect place to explore. There are homemade crafts and wares everywhere, live entertainment anywhere, and countless restaurants. To top it all off, there is also theatre all around!

5. Chelsea

Madelyn Neal

Maybe save this trip for when they have their annual flower shows so you can be sure to catch Chelsea at its most creative and outrageous!

Next time you're in the city that has captured my heart, make sure to take a look at some or all of these places! You won't be disappointed!

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"

Clare Concannon
