Just beyond Kensington Palace and Gardens is the lovely Hyde Park. 
Hyde Park was originally built in 1536 by Henry VIII for hunting. It has been used over the years for duels, demonstrations, parades, and concerts.
The Wellington Arch.
Past KP and Hyde Park was the quant St Mary’s Abbots Church built in 1872.
Now, my favorite meal of the trip. While I was here, I really wanted to do a proper English tea. Not in a fancy hotel or anything, but something that felt authentic. I was so pleased with our choice- the Candella Tea Room.
Our afternoon traditional tea service with an extra pot of tea. It was perfect and everything I wanted it to be.
The happiest girl in the world.
After tea we stated walking back towards the hotel, taking in all the sights on the North border of Hyde park. I loved these buildings. They cracked me up.
The Marble Arch.
I loved Carnaby. It had a very fun, cool vibe to it. Tons of shopping- name brands and cute little shops. It’s probably a good thing I found it near the end of the trip. When we got home I actually ended up ordering a framed print (the London map of culture and history) from a cool store called We Built This City.
Not quite the blue door you’d find in Notting Hill. (Another place I didn’t get to visit this time.)
And we found a pub with the Masters on. Andy was pleased.
Cheers to our last night in London.
