London - September 2023

Finally returned to my favorite city. This trip was composed of doing things in London proper and traveling outside of London to visit the Cotswolds and Oxford. Highlights of the trip were doing a private tour of Westminster Abbey and doing the Harry Potter Studio Tour. It was nice to finally be able to walk inside Kensington Palace after having visited the grounds in previous years. All and all this was a most relaxing and enjoyable trip.
