Exploring London: week 3/18

Hi, everyone! A quick round-up of this week's adventures...
One of my classes is Seeing London's Architecture; every week, we take a walking tour of a different part of the city (narrated by my wonderful professor) and sketch an element or two from the trip. This week, we headed down to the financial center of London, and saw some gorgeous buildings.
On Friday, I went to the lovely Kensington Palace (where Kate, William, and George live!). The visitable wing of the Palace houses one of the most creative, interactive, and interesting museums I've ever visited.
 On Sunday, some friends and I took a day trip to Oxford... 
One of the many Hogwarts-like halls at Oxford University.
A mushroom and asparagus pie with mashed potatoes and red wine vegetarian gravy. YUM. 
View from the tower.
It was incredible to visit Christchurch, where many scenes from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone were filmed. I FINALLY MADE IT TO HOGWARTS! (Only eight years late).
And just because, a rainbow (actually a double rainbow!) I caught this week :)
In other news, my suitemate and I and a few friends are planning a Waffles Weekend trip to Brussels! We are so excited! Also, as promised, a new vlog from last week's bus tour is up! Check it out in the week 2/18 post :)

Have a lovely week, everyone!
