We started off with a trip to Primark. Also now known as "Clothes Heaven". I am not exaggerating. Picture an H&M, or really young version of Macy's, with well-made clothes and shockingly low prices. Add in crazed shoppers and lines to try on clothes winding throughout the two-story building, and you have Primark.
I bought a pair of jeans today for 8 pounds. That's equivalent to 12 US dollars. Not only did I get these amazingly low prices, but I bought everything without trying it all on. The lines were too long, and we were too short on time. What adds to my love of this store, is that when I got back to the flat, every single item I purchased, fit. That just doesn't happen.
Not only did I buy a pair of jeans, but I also walked away with two shirts, a dress, a big black belt, and a long silver necklace that all fit perfectly, for 37 pounds. This discovery of Primark has now become the highlight of possibly my entire week. I will definitely be going back.
After this exhilarating shopping experience, we headed to a souvenir shop next door, and I refrained from buying anything I really didn't need. We then headed down on a path that led us past the Marble Arch, around the edge of Hyde Park, past Buckingham Palace, and ending on a street that was lined with British flags. It was the quintessential "day in London" and I loved every minute of it.
Here are some pictures from my day:
