I spent most of my time in London and this post will share some of my tips, tricks and things to do that I found while living like a local for 6 weeks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">First of all, 6 weeks is a long time, and for pretty much 4 of those I was in one AirBnb that acted as my &#8220;base&#8221; and I could take different day trips out from there! A lot of places I found in London were either quite small, or more of a hotel &#8211; but I wanted an apartment so I could cook my own meals and really experience living like a local. I then found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airbnb.ca\/rooms\/48666565?source_impression_id=p3_1740425270_P3Jy4M8mOgp0pzoe\">this AirBnb<\/a>, which is in Croydon, just a 15 minute train journey away from central London. I have heard that Croydon is not the nicest area to live, but I never felt unsafe (and I was a young female travelling alone). The AirBnb is only a 10-15 minute walk from the station, and along a pretty populated road. If you&#8217;re looking for somewhere to have your own space and mini apartment, but with close proximity to London, I HIGHLY recommend Gary&#8217;s properties (this is not sponsored &#8211; I genuinely just loved it so much)! The whole building is rental units and there are so many styles and layouts to choose from! I have linked the one that I stayed in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airbnb.ca\/rooms\/48666565?source_impression_id=p3_1740425270_P3Jy4M8mOgp0pzoe\">here<\/a>. I also loved that I wasn&#8217;t directly in the city, because I think that encouraged me to explore a little more broadly than I would have if I was right in the city center. When I go back, I will absolutely stay there again &#8211; beautifully decorated, has everything you could possibly need, and a co-op grocery store right around the corner! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Things to do:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">London Eye<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Tower Bridge<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Tower of London<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Harry Potter Studio Tour<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Big Ben<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>London 2022 In the summer of 2022, I went on a six week long trip to the UK.
