Woke up on the 2nd day morning with Starbucks’ breakfast awaits me. From the earliest morning, the only gentleman – Duncan went for the Arsenal Stadium visiting; and for all the ladies, its shopping time!
I don’t know what’s happening in the football stadium, but for us, we really had a great time. We walked from our hotel, to Old Bond street, to Bond Street and to Oxford Street.
Old Bond Street
Old Bond Street is filled with fashion since history, but now the street is packed with high-end designer brand such like Burberry, Cartier, Channel and etc. But for Oxford Street, it’s one of the “must not miss” street for all the ladies of our range. I can spend the whole day here if my trip isn’t that rush, best recommended affordable brand is H&M, Next and Zara. Somehow after I came back my friend told me their Nike shop is awesome.

I also had my 1st Fish and Chips in London here, and do you believe the only delicious thing in London is Fish and Chips. Every single taste about the fish is so perfect, and I start complaining about the dory fish here. :p I seriously wanted to spend more time here, but I gotta rush to meet Duncan at our next stop – St Paul’s Cathedral.

St Paul’s Cathedral, where Princess Diana held her wedding here, it’s historical, beautiful and breath-taking. Too bad the whole indoor cannot take any pictures, but you still can see some that secretly took by us.
St Paul's Cathedral (indoor)
The most remarkable are their dome, hand painted on the ceiling, huge and it really look 3 dimensional - like a real thing. A sloppy staircase took us to somewhere higher, where we can admire the beautiful ceiling, and another few steps higher to the open air balcony, which can almost see the whole London view.

From St Paul, we crossed the bridge to Tate Modern – another Modern museum. But you’ve miss out we had Fish and Chips again, Ice-cream and also Hot Dog on our way. I’m not sure what’s inside Tate Modern, I do go inside, but I don’t find it interesting. But one thing caught my eye was their building design; it gave me a bad hand sign.

We took our river cruise from here, it’s like a one of the must do thing when you visit to London. But it’s kind of boring for me, the only good thing is you can take pictures with the famous – London Tower a.k.a. London Bridge.

Lucky us, our boat was the last one for the day, I felt that all the things in London close early, but it only sunset around 10pm on summer. We stopped our river cruise tour at Big Ben/ London Eye again. As I promise, more pictures of them in the day time.
As promise, day view of London Eye and Big Ben
I hate myself wearing heals when on a trip, it hurts my toe, so I was nagging to go back to our room before going straight for dinner. As of 3 different taste from us, and my aunt went for her own sambal malay food, we concluded our choice by voting - Italian food.

If you want to find a good place for dining in London, I would suggest Covent Market, where our 2nd night dinner here. This place is packed with a lot of restaurant, sure you can google it from choosing different cuisine (we voted from the google search too)!
Well, it’s a long post in the end, and my London second day stops right here.
