A Tween's 3 Favorite Day Trips from London
A Note from Mom
One of the goals of Preparing to Travel is helping kids get excited about international travel, too. That's why our A Kid’s POV articles are written by our tween daughter, who shares her opinions about the places we've visited.
They're her honest thoughts, favorite memories, and tips for other kids traveling internationally. We leave her personality and voice intact because we want you to be able to envision each destination through a kid's perspective.
Today, we are going to be talking about my favorite day trips from London, England. We went at the perfect time, so it wasn’t stormy at all. If you guys are heading to London, this is absolutely perfect for you. Are you ready? You should be.
Stonehenge
Windsor Castle
Warner Bros. Studios Tour London
Stonehenge
Stonehenge was my favorite stop because it made me wonder how people built something so incredible thousands of years ago.
There is a reason I picked this as my first choice.
People may say Stonehenge is boring, but it is so beautiful. Just realizing how smart people back then were… It’s crazy.
The museum showed what happened at different periods of time and also had an AI 3D print of what a human back then looked like!
I must say, the sheep smell was terrible, but the sunny, fun day was definitely a must-do.
Windsor Castle
I actually took this picture of Windsor Castle myself with my mom’s phone!
Going back in time, seeing a real castle blew my mind.
They had such a gorgeous church with dead - you couldn’t actually see - kings and queens.
It was ancient luxury.
The scenery was stunning, and I just can’t describe it. It was beautiful, and anyone decent would love it.
Warner Bros. Studios Tour London
Walking through the movie sets made me feel like I'd stepped into the Harry Potter films.
If you are a Harry Potter fan, this is a have-to-do.
If you don’t know what that is… READ THE BOOKS!
They had the Philosopher’s Stone, the Cloak of Invisibility, the Great Hall, and I won’t spoil the rest. This is a magical experience… just don’t have the butterbear!
Thank you guys so much for reading A Kid’s POV! I hope you like it!
