As we continue to melt in the heatwave, we take cool shelter within the Westminster Abbey. The treasured memorials showed just how much theatre has meant to those in London. Actors and playwrights littered the grounds. Oscar Wilde, being one of the many playwrights memorialized at the Abbey, caught my attention. Due to the criticism …

Queens and poets and playwrights, oh my!
I’ve long said, “I want to feel humbled walking into Church,” and when stepping foot in Westminster Abbey, I not only felt the reverence of Christ’s splendor, but also felt quite small in comparison to the nobles buried here before me. My jaw fell a little more at the turn of each corner, seeing who …
Westminster Abbey (Finally figured this out, get ready for my spamming) 🪿
I’ve been posting in the wrong place 😑 I adore Gothic architecture, so it was wonderful seeing one of the most important Gothic buildings in the country. A historic, royal church. It has the highest Gothic vault in Britain! It’s always an incredible feeling looking up at the ceiling of a European church as well …

#Littletreat #Feminism
With the amount of hype that was built up around the idea of a day trip to Bath, I was positive that it would fail to meet such high expectations. But, after spending an entire day there, I can confirm that it is a pretty remarkable place. We began the day with a train ride …
The Tortured Poets Corner (TTPC)
Tuesday, May 26, is another boiling hot day in London. I will say, it is a good thing that we ventured to Westminster Abbey early, so we did not bake in the line we stood outside in for 20 minutes. Contrary to the rest of today, which was soooo hot, the poets did not mind …
#WOMEN DESERVE BIG STATUES TOO
I absolutely loved Westminster Abbey!! What a beautiful place!! It was boiling hot today so it was nice to cool off at one of the most beautifully crafted places in London. I was so interested and surprised by all the names, graves, and monuments I found throughout. The one thing that I will say is, …
HANDS DOWN, BEST ABBEY I EVER SEEN.
Today we took a tour of Westminster Abbey, and it was beautiful. All of the different tombs and sculptures as well as the stained glass and design of the ceiling gave the entire place the reverence that it’s more than well known for. In one section, there were a ton of plaques and statues in …
Maria’s not an asset to this abbey.
We had the incredible opportunity of visiting Westminster Abbey! I was in complete awe as we walked up and as I walked around the Abbey. The architecture was absolutely incredible! So much detail. And the graves were so extravagant. I need to commission someone immediately to make my grave. It’s going to take them awhile. …
Yes, There is a Character Named Swiss Cheese
Mother Courage and Her Children by Bertolt Brecht at Shakespeare’s Globe is one of many anti-war shows we have seen in London. However, its unique style lets it stand out distinctly from every other play. Today, shows on the west end employ a lot of realism and naturalism tactics. But the Brechtian style strives to …

Hall of Celebrities
Our trip to Westminster Abbey was very educational and historic as well as beautiful and elegant. We saw many famous British people that were buried there or had a memorial including Jane Austin, William Shakespeare, Stephen Hawkings and Charles Dickens. It was surreal to see so many famous legends memorialized in one place. We were …
