London, England is the home of Buckingham Palace and Big Ben. It is known for its royalty and black taxis, and one of the most popular places to visit in London is the loo ;) . Although Susan already traveled to London prior to our trip, she didn't hesitate to shout "Yes!" when I asked her to go back with me. In two short days, we zipped around London on the Big Red Bus and saw many spectacular sights. Below the map is a list of the London's "top threes": top three English phrases, top three fun facts, and top three foods to try. Hopefully the list might encourage you to travel to London soon (the pound-USD conversion is in our favor!)
