London seen by a student

A trip to London for only a weekend requires a fair bit of planning. First we booked the flight tickets before summer so that they were cheap. We were eight English classmates, our teacher Carmen and also one funny character that joined us at the very last minute. It was a tiny sevillana doll we bought at the airport. You can see her in some of the pictures, we called her Jenny.
When we arrived at Heathrow Airport, we bought a TRAVEL CARD for 3 days, zone 6. so we didn’t waste time and we saved money.
We stayed in Howard Winchester Hotel, near King Cross Station and St. Pancras. We were very lucky because the rooms were a bit small but very tidy and inexpensive. The English breakfast was included in the price.
If you want to see the best views of London, I recommend you to take a fabulous full-commentary sightseeing cruise along the river Thames and get on the London Eye.
Don´t forget to visit Camden Market on a Sunday morning. You'll buy some clothes, shoes, etc and also you'll taste international food near the canal.
We had a good time. The weather was mostly cloudy but it didn´t rain any day.
London is undoubtedly the most exciting city in the world. I recommend you to go across its streets, look at its houses and talk with the people, you’ll love it.
In conclusion, I think London is a city with an unbeatable charm. I'm sure I’ll go back as soon as I can.
