September 15 - October 5, 2019 A one-way on Ryanair, from Kiev...





















September 15 - October 5, 2019 

A one-way on Ryanair, from Kiev to London cost me $323.31, which seems steep, but it is what it is. Also, a stay at the Mercure London Kensington Hotel started at €95/night for the world’s smallest room, but no one ever said London was affordable. Staying in Shoreditch was the same price but a bit more comfortable.

Work was pretty busy during this time but there are still loads of fun things to do in the UK, such as:

  • Drinking delicious BrewDog beers.
  • Admiring the Sunken Garden while walking through Hyde Park. Go through Serpentine Gallery while you’re here too, if they’re open.
  • Having some great breakfasts, such as the best pancakes at The Breakfast Club and best eggs at Eggbreak.
  • If there’s a live show at Rough Trade, check it out, as they have great music taste (obviously).
  • The Science Museum is free and fantastic during the day. Additionally, on the last Wednesday of every month is an adults-only, after-hours night with themed talks, workshops, and the best silent disco in town. You just need to reserve a free ticket here
  • Make the 3-hour drive one-way to Alton Towers, hands-down the best amusement park in the UK. Ideally, you drive up the night before and stay at the resort there, or at nearby(ish) Crown Hotel in Stoke On Trent for £110/night per room.
