First Thursday Night in London

The last few days have absolutely flown by. The first Thursday and Friday in London were a bit crazy but really created interesting opportunities to experience the city.

It began with a mini-tour of London in search of our internship sites. Riding the tube is an experience within itself. It's a bustling fast-paced environment and requires you to go with the flow  and not to stand on the wrong side. Keeping to the left of the walkways was quite difficult and felt extremely awkward. Throughout the day we were able to navigate the tube system and find all of our internships. The last stop brought us to Oxford Street, a hugs shopping street in London. It was so crowed it was a struggle to stay together.

Once we got home from grocery shopping that night we decided to explore the local pubs in our neighborhood. Thursday nights in Kilburn, not too wild. Our first pub had only four men in their 60s hanging out, the second, called the Black Lion, was interesting on the inside but still only had a few people in their late 30s. Finally, in the last pub there were several late 20 somethings listening to mostly American music. It even stayed open until 2am!
