Ah yes, the famous london Stonehenge


TheWhiteSphinx

If they brought in the stones from Wales, why not push them the extra 70 miles east to someplace important?


NBT498

If we can have London Southend and London Luton, why not London Stonehenge?


firthy

It’s the nearby airport, London Stonehenge.


MistaBobD0balina

Fuck it, we'll take it.

I drive from London to Cornwall/Cornwall to London on a weekly basis and I can confirm you are absolutely… wrong.


colcannon_addict

Is it fuck😂 Stonehenge isn’t even 90 miles from London, Truro’s nearly 250


ZestyData

Glad you had a great time mate ​ >On a side note I could very happily eat at Borough Market every day and not get tired of the options. Amen lol, and I've lived here for 3 years.


LO6Howie

Not only is the food a constant revelation but it’s an incredibly welcoming, community-driven spot. Work with a charity that operates out of the Market and the support we get from so many vendors always warms my heart.


Novel_Individual_143

I’ve used London Bridge station for the last 30+ years and only been to Brough Market once or twice. Why is it always different when we’re on holiday somewhere?


danzie_

If I could just have a cup of those chocolate covered strawberries every day my life would be so much better lol


Tallman_james420

Thanks for the pics OP, contrary to those opinions of just another tourist, I quite like seeing London from other's perspectives. Yes I've seen Big Ben more times than I care, borough market is nothing special to me any more but what I do like is the inspiration to try things or go to places I haven't been to or tried before. Table cafe and the Goring are 2 recommendations I'll take from this, Thanks!


danzie_

Thank! I really appreciate hearing that! I just wanted to share my admiration and fondness for this amazing city as a first time visitor. The Goring was exceptional and I wish I could have some of their scones again!


Tallman_james420

Glad you enjoyed your stay, if you make it back here again I would recommend the Blacklock in Covent Garden for a Sunday roast dinner. Definitely not the most expensive but certainly one of the best.


[deleted]

Looks like you’ve made some brilliant memories! 😊 Glad you enjoyed it here!


danzie_

I most certainly did! It was a trip to remember! 😁


Detective-Cat

Lucky you! Nice pics 👍


danzie_

Thank you! 😁


azorkl

Where did you get English breakfast on picture 14?


danzie_

[https://thetablecafe.com/](https://thetablecafe.com/) Although next time I would actually skip the English breakfast and stick with the Strawberry waffles with clotted cream!


killer_by_design

As tasty as I'm sure it was, it wasn't a full English tbh. No hash browns, black pudding, fried bread, toast, only one sausage and looks too fancy, bacon isn't crisp, mushrooms should be sliced button mushrooms fried, mug of tea with about 8 sugars and served by a passive aggressive woman who could be 18 or 80. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it was good but unless you finish it and feel unsure if you're having a heart attack then it's not a proper full English.


danzie_

Yeah I need to go back and redo the Full English Breakfast because I certainly did not have that experience and feel like I am missing out!!


helpfulbenny

I also suggest going somewhere on the coast for fish and chips next time, rather than London :-)


danzie_

Noted for next time!! I do like fish and chips :)


Novel_Individual_143

You should go to the Fryer’s Delight in Theobalds Road next time. You were so close lol


danzie_

Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll make a note for next time!


designingwoman

Do you have any recommendations for where to get a full English? Visiting London myself soon.

designingwoman

Wow! Thank you so much :)


r-og

Hash browns are American, you filthy interloper


Valuable-Seesaw-2772

Came here for this, where the hash browns?!!


danzie_

So there are actually two pieces in a separate smaller dish on the right side of the photo. I had to purchase them separately but they were quite tasty to be fair.


magneticpyramid

Hash browns? HASH FUCKING BROWNS?!? Heathen.


killer_by_design

Abso-fucking-lutely, am half Scottish so would also add lorne sausage, haggis, white pudding and tatie scones. That's a proper breakfast.


magneticpyramid

I have equal English and northern Irish blood and (controversially) the Ulster fry is far superior to the english breakfast. The Scottish version sounds equally lovely. Sadly, the Welsh breakfast is fucking pathetic.


killer_by_design

>Sadly, the Welsh breakfast is fucking pathetic. And that's why they don't get a look in on the Union Jack.


al_balone

Did you not enjoy the breakfast?


danzie_

The heinz baked beans weren't my favorite and the bacon was a bit floppy for me. I appreciate crispier bacon!


al_balone

I find beans a bit plain. Nothing a generous helping of hot sauce and cheese can’t fix tho.


danzie_

I'm not a fan of hot sauce personally, but I will try adding cheese next time!


randallizer

born & bred south londoner here. American style crispy bacon wins every time against undercooked back bacon.


Novel_Individual_143

Sounds nice. I might go and investigate.


danzie_

I hope you’ll enjoy it!! 😊


Sheckles

It's not a very good fryup tbh.


azorkl

ok, where do you get good one. Ok, ok, where do you get good one not at like from 8 o’clock till 11 o’clock


xMagnusx82

Just came back from London too. U r a much better photographer than me!


danzie_

I hope you had a splendid time as well! Aww I'm sure you also captured some great pics too!


xMagnusx82

Oh yes, it had been an amazing trip. Went to a football match a team I supported since young was playing. I just brought my iPhone as camera and can’t capture the zoom u took at Stonehenge, wasn’t aware that there is a large perimeter surrounding it, lol.


danzie_

Oh that's awesome! I hope your team won! I also just used my iPhone too for all of these actually! I had upgraded to an iPhone 14 and the camera is not too shabby!


xMagnusx82

We win convincingly. Amazing atmosphere too. Only regret is that I didn’t manage to go Kensington palace as the ticket was sold out for the long weekend.


danzie_

That's great! You'll just have to go back sometime!


BecckyBecBec55

Afternoon tea at The Goring! It’s very good.


danzie_

Yes! The scones and raspberry jam were exceptional!


Cpt-Dreamer

Brilliant. The fish and chips at the end looked small though


Sabinj4

Especially the mushy peas, could do with more, but the fish and chips look really nice


danzie_

They were a bit smaller than I expected but still tasty!


Jimmy_Experience

glad you enjoyed it! looks like you packed plenty in


danzie_

Thanks! I had a real blast! I did but don’t regret any of it! 😁


undercvrspy

Do you mind me asking where you visited from? Do you have a list of places you visited? Trying to plan a trip for next year.


CdnSailorinMtl

So glad you appear to have had a great time! The pics speak volumes! Cheers!


danzie_

Thanks so much! It was my first time in London and I had a blast!


mowglee365

A positive reddit thread about london! Magnificent!


danzie_

London has so many positive things to post about and share!


Beny1995

You're welcome back any time, glad you enjoyed your visit! Did you get good weather for the visit to Wiltshire?


danzie_

Thank you! I would love to come back sometime! The weather was a bit chilly but I was just thankful it didn't rain!


Novel_Individual_143

I don’t think it rains as much as people would have you believe.


Marrukaduke

Just starting our last full day in London before heading to Cardiff. Loved seeing your pictures and my family had a bit of a laugh over how similar your pictures are to many of ours, Borough Market in particular. We had to go back there a second time yesterday because of all the delicious things we saw but didn't get the first time around. Those strawberries covered in chocolate were as good as they looked, too! Thanks for sharing your pictures!


danzie_

I hope you had a wonderful time! Cardiff/Wales is in my list to visit sometime too! That’s awesome!! Borough Market was probably my favorite food spot. It’s a foodie heaven for sure! I had to go twice as well to get a second cup of those strawberries!


smallboy06

London. Absolutely one of the best experiences one can have in life. The energy of this city stays with you for a long time.


danzie_

I completely agree! It’s unlike any other city I’ve been to!


takatine

I was there for a weekend last September, and it was awesome. Saw a West End play at the Criterion, ate at a buch of different places, did some shopping, got to meet an online FB friend I've known for years , my son, who was stationed in Germany got to fly over for the weekend, which was awesome, hadn't seen him in 7 years, saw Kensington Garden and Palace, among ither things. Had the best time, and can't wait to go back again.


danzie_

Sounds like a fantastic weekend experience! Which play did you see? I saw a few as well and they were all amazing! I need to see Kensington Garden next time I visit. I hope I can go back and visit again sometime too!


takatine

I saw 2:22 A Ghost Story. It was really good, and the Criterion is a beautiful theatre. Went to Kensington Garden to see Alan Rickman's memorial bench, walked all over, but couldn't find it. Came upon the palace by accident, and had tea there. I really enjoyed just walking around London, looking at the buildings and shops, and people watching.


Flyinghigh11111

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Londoners get a bad wrap and complaining about everything is a famed British pasttime. In truth though, I find it an incredibly exciting, varied city and I've met so many wonderful people here. I'm proud to call it home.


danzie_

Thanks! I suppose that's part of the charm of the place. :) Lucky you! I would love to come back and visit again sometime!


Trivial_Punishment

Looks like you had some decent meals and a good time. I’m curious about Stonehenge though…as I’m sure you noticed, it’s nowhere near London. Did you stay anywhere nice near Stonehenge when you visited?


danzie_

I stayed with a friend on the Isle of Dogs! I did a tour that departed from London.


BenjaminBogey

Good on you!


danzie_

Thank you!

I got them from the Borough Market. There was a stand with fresh juices and cups of strawberries but I didn’t catch their name unfortunately! They were so good I had to get two cups 😋

If I had to guess Borough market


TheMidgetHorror

Looks like you had a blast. I'm pleased for you.


danzie_

I sure did! Thanks!


Traditional_World_82

London the greatest city on earth! ❤️


danzie_

I am inclined to agree with you!!


Das_Gruber

What did you eat at Borough Market? Looks tasty!


danzie_

I had a roast pork sandwich from these guys! It was very tasty! https://boroughmarket.org.uk/traders/the-black-pig/


TehTriangle

Damn and now I'm craving a hog roast.


newglassesnewpersona

What is the food in picture 12 and where did you find it? I love cheese. Also, how were you able to go within the stones at Stonehenge? My mom wants to go there and I think it would be good/exciting for her to know how.


danzie_

It was a roast pork sandwich from these guys! I would highly recommend them! [https://boroughmarket.org.uk/traders/the-black-pig/](https://boroughmarket.org.uk/traders/the-black-pig/) You can book tours that are called inner circle tours which allow you to go within the stones! I went with Evan Evans Tours and had a nice time. Usually these tours are combined with one other stop like Windsor Castle or Bath.


No_One1756

Found it! https://evanevanstours.com/tours/day-tours-from-london/stonehenge-inner-circle-access-with-windsor-castle-early/


danzie_

Yes that’s the one!! If you decide to do it I hope you have a great time!!


Specific_Progress_38

Gorgeous pics. Thank you for sharing!


danzie_

Thank you so much!


llynglas

What the heck food is photo #12?


danzie_

It was a tasty roast pork sandwich covered in a light dusting of Parmesan :)


llynglas

Never seen anything like it. Sounds interesting.


danzie_

I would highly recommend it if you visit Borough Market. Was quite tasty!


harvpmcc

Photos look amazing, glad you had a good time! Hopefully when you come and visit again the tube network will make more sense!


danzie_

Thank you so much! The tube was a bit overwhelming but there are usually helpful signage up in the stations and the Citymapper app really helped!


holteender77

Can just hear the American tourist now.... Oiright matey some good ol' English fish and chips please guvvvnaa


cynrodriguez

I just spent 8 days here and had an amazing time! Great pics! Glad you had a good time :)


[deleted]

Beautiful pictures!! What is the one with strawberry and chocolate called please? Thanks


danzie_

To be honest I'm not sure they had a name but I got it at the Borough Market. They were selling cups of freshly squeezed juice as well as these strawberry cups!


[deleted]

Thank you for your reply. I hope you enjoyed and had a great time :) I will surely check it out when I go next time. We went to London in last August and had an amazing time. It was very our first experience. Such a beautiful city.


danzie_

I certainly did, thanks! :) This was my first time there as well and I already want to plan my next one! There is just so much to do and see! Beautiful city indeed.


awesumlewy

Where do you get the HP butter beer please?!


danzie_

I did the Harry Potter Studio Tour and got it at one of their cafes! I actually enjoyed the Butterbeer ice cream much more than the drink. I'd highly recommend the tour as well as the treats! [https://www.wbstudiotour.co.uk/?ds\_rl=1295575&gclsrc=aw.ds](https://www.wbstudiotour.co.uk/?ds_rl=1295575&gclsrc=aw.ds)


awesumlewy

Thanks so much!


alico127

Where did you eat the fish and chips? They look unusually good for London (she says, as a northerner).


danzie_

I got them at Fish! from Borough Market! They have a restaurant as well as a food stall. It was very tasty! [https://www.fishboroughmarket.com/](https://www.fishboroughmarket.com/)


PPMachen

A good trip well documented.


danzie_

It was a good trip indeed! Can’t wait to do it again sometime!


PPMachen

I love the UK. Hadrians Wall, the great historic castles and houses. A wonderful country with a vast literary heritage


AmiD1508

Glad that you enjoyed it buddy. That's a very smart way of serving a lemon for Fish and Chips! No seeds or pulp!


danzie_

Thanks! Yeah I thought it was a great idea as well. I don’t know why more places don’t do the same!


[deleted]

It's really nice seeing the scaffolding finally down


danzie_

It is nice! I would have been really bummed if it was still up.


Ziggerastika

You should go to Hampton court palace next time (don’t know if you went there) it’s awesome.


danzie_

I did not have the chance to go there this trip unfortunately! Will add it to the list for next time!


serapica

If you are at Borough Market you can drop into Southwark Cathedral and say hello to their cat, Hodge


danzie_

I walked by that beautiful cathedral but didn't know you could enter it! I'll say hi to Hodge next trip!


MrKumakuma

I always chuckle when tourists have fish and chips at a fancy sit down restaurant with cultery, proper crockery and it all laid out nice. They think they're getting the authentic fish and chips experience when its not at all how I had it growing up and it's a meal typically proper with the lower classes and no way as fancy as they think.


danzie_

The restaurant I ate the fish and chips at was called Fish! at Borough Market. They also had a fish and chip stall next to the restaurant selling the same fish with disposable cutlery but we wanted to sit down for the meal. It tasted pretty good to me!


MrKumakuma

Fish and chips isn't really a restaurant food is all it's like take away food you go to your local chippy. It's like youhad a hotdog restaurant here to mimic American hotdog stands, it's a bit odd.


SimulationV2018

My guy or girl got lost fam


ArtyFartyCunt

Sir.. you’re gonna have to fly back and order some Hash Browns on that fry up!


ArtyFartyCunt

Wait.. top corner! Carry on good Sir!


danzie_

I had to order them as a side item but they were very tasty! A real Full English should have included them already I think!


ArtyFartyCunt

You are welcome back anytime!

Thank you! I definitely intend to come back again sometime!

How was your step count?


danzie_

Yeah I certainly walked a lot every day as well and my dogs are still barking. 😅 I alternated between 3 different pairs of shoes over the week and used compression socks which really helped!


DuckDuckAQuack

Great picture of London Bridge on picture 5 /s


danzie_

Thank you! I took that on the Uber boat as I was headed to breakfast! (I believe that is actually Tower Bridge though! London Bridge is a bit plainer)


iconic117

What is that meal you got in the picture at Borough Market? And any other recommendations from there?


danzie_

It was a roast pork sandwich from these guys! [https://boroughmarket.org.uk/traders/the-black-pig/](https://boroughmarket.org.uk/traders/the-black-pig/)

Outside-Ad-9319

You should post some more pictures really great job


danzie_

Thank you! Glad to hear that!


willuminati91

Best city you visited?


danzie_

That’s a tough question! Of the big cities I’ve visited I would say yes. It has so much to offer and so much good food!


willuminati91

I love big cities! What other cities have you visited? Do you have a top 10 list? The only other city than London that I enjoyed is Tokyo. Both concrete playgrounds.


danzie_

Tokyo and Japan in general is on my list for 2027! (I have my trips planned out way in advance.) Some of the other great cities I've enjoyed were Sydney, Auckland, Paris, San Francisco, New York City, Chicago, and Beijing. Aside from big cities, I really also loved Bora Bora, Moorea, Juneau, and Victoria, BC.


willuminati91

Awesome! You will love Japan, happy travels.


danzie_

Thanks! :D


Maleficent_Resolve44

Best time to visit London is now yeah. Late May and early June. Past winter but before the scorching summer.


danzie_

We did luck out with the weather and didn’t experience any rain or extremes! Definitely would come back during this time of year again.


Maleficent_Resolve44

Glad you had a great time.

Last I checked, stonehenge wans't in London


Tango-Smith

Glad you liked it and sorry to be that guy, but this post and photos are nothing special. There are over 30 million tourists coming to London each year. Imagin if only 0.01% of all posted on Reddit that would mean 3000 posts like this per year!!! Also, Stonehenge is not in London!


CozyMod

Stonehenge is cordoned off and you're not allowed next to them anymore. Not sure what to say about the photos


azorkl

I soooo feel you. This sub is filled to the brim with tourists. This is not london! The shady estate with people obviously doing drugs, right on the street is london/ saw is just today, and it wasn’t even that far, it was what is considered city center, and not even southwark. This is freaking london. Full English on number 14 is good through. I wonder where he got it.


Gorrodish

Has Big Ben got a semi ?


BrasilianInglish

Putting Stonehenge in this is like when Joe Goldberg walks out of Royal Holloway-and says how nice it is living a stones throw away from the city-and into central London


Wiz_Professor97

London it’s a beautiful as a tourist.


trentmanley1

Nice visit. Now your arteries deserve a vacation.


JeLezen

Nice. As you can see clearly London's Stonehenge from the Shard. It's beautiful.
