We trod the boards looking for the best in British culture and art
The pungent smell of fresh cheese punched my nose as I entered Borough Market, but I was later comforted by flavored fudge, piles of pastries, an abundance of bread, and coffee made at a tiny cart. The market was cozy and felt hidden as I had to walk through tunnels and skinny paths to find …

Yesterday we visited our second market as a group, Borough market. It was a series of winding paths lined with food stalls all generating such delicious smells, and I think I managed to pick just about the worst option possible. So I’ve never had curry before, and I thought London would be a great place …
I did not have the same experience at Borough Market as everyone else. I instantly lost Alex and whoever was with him and so I wondered with Madison as she looked for the bathroom. We walked for about 20-30 minutes (or that is what it felt like at least.) and as we walked I started …

It is my nineth day in London and today I went to Borough Market. I was excited to see Borough market and all its unique foods and shops but, once I stepped into the market, I was met with an ocean of people that were walking through and surrounding all the shops. You could barely …
Yesterday, we journeyed to Borough Market for lunch. We’ve been to a few markets at this point, so it’s recognizably an important part of London’s social life. I honestly prefer the markets to what we have back home because you have so many different options to pick from. One day you would be eating street …
When thinking about the best food that I have eaten on the trip, the markets that we have visited have been good, but not my favorites. In fact, besides Spittlefields, both Borough Market and Cucumber Alley have been, overall, pretty disappointing. At Spittlefields, there was a huge variety of both food to eat and stands …

As I walked around Bath, I felt as if I had left England and was walking around a coastal city in Italy. Something about the buildings felt as though they neighbored the sea, rather than took the place of what once was a forest, as the buildings feel in London. The buildings were made with …

Bath was very different than the rest of London. The Roman influences in the architecture of London are for the most part pretty subtle, however, in Bath, it was really bold and clear. There were statues of gods and places for offerings. I am not really an architecture guy but I can spot when buildings …

Yesterday I took a train to Bath, England, and had an incredible time! The city of bath became a spa in 60 AD when the Romans invaded England and built multiple baths and the temple of Sulis Minerva near the River Avon. The hot springs still run though the spa today, and you are able …
In yesterday’s blog post, I had mentioned that we traveled to Bath. The city itself was gorgeous, and I would love to go back especially to see the Jane Austen and Mary Shelly Museums as well as the Royal Crescent. There was a beautiful park next to the river that a few of us girls …
