Football game, Concert, and going back home!

Hello Everybody! Im writing this the next day, since yesterday was very busy!
Yesterday started early, as I chilled for a bit before breakfast! After breakfast, I decided to head out, going to Tower Hill, to see Tower of London and Tower Bridge! After crossing the bridge, I went to borough market and had a look!
After that I walked to to St Pauls Cathedral, and had a look! From there, I took the tube to Embankment and walk to the London Eye, and then walked passed Big Ben, Westminster Abbey and St James Park to Buckingham Palace!
From there, I went to a store relatively close to buy something for myself! From there I headed to Covent Garden, and bought something for my mom!
It was getting closer to the game and I walked to Leicester Square and had a look, since there was a market there! I then went back to the hostel and recharged my stuff a bit, but now the game had started so I needed to get there, I tried to figure out a route to the station close to the arena, but it didn't work out, so had to take another route! I eventually got there, missing the first half of the game!
I arrived just in time for the second half to start!
The game was exciting, and I had a seat just behind the goal! it was already 1-1 from the first half, and Hull scored relatively quickly! But QPR came back, equalized and eventually scored a winning goal, as they won 3-2!
After the game, I headed to the venue for the second concert of this trip, Starsailor in Kentish Town!
The trip took a while, and I got off the tube a little bit early, so I had to walk under a mile to get there!
After the show I headed to the hostel, as it was getting late, and I was tired! I went to bed, and recharged my stuff, and got up early, since I had to get the tube to the airport! 
I packed the rest of my stuff, and was on my way! It took a while to get there! I checked in my bag, and went through security relatively quickly! I had to go to the gate right away! I still managed to buy some stuff for my niece!
It took a while for the flight to lift, as it was refueling! But it eventually lifted, and was 10min late! So I went somewhere to grab some lunch and went to the train! While writing this, I´m on the train back to Eskilstuna! So it has been quite fast paced!
What did I think of my time here in London?
It the first time I stayed in a hostel in an other part of town, since I always tend to stay in Kings cross, but now I stayed in Earls court! The area wasn't that bad! The Hostel, Saint James Backpackers could have been better though! Their boiler had some issues, and it was cold in the room! It wouldn't help when a roommate insisted to open the window on a regular basis to air out the room, leaving the room cold! They had decent breakfast though!
​But I wouldn't stay here again!
The concerts: Amy Macdonald and Starsailor, were both amazing! Amy had a slow start though, but she got her momentum going! It was also to see friends that I have met from the shows! 
It was also the first time in a long time since I saw a football game live, even though I only saw the second half! Smaller games do have atmosphere!
All in all it was a good trip, but a bit of an expensive one! Worth it though! This marks the last abroad trip of the year, and I will see where I will travel to next!
I have some ideas, as for example Download Festival and Graspop Metal Meeting again, and a trip to Japan in late August for Electric Callboy, and then maybe going somewhere for my 40th birthday next year!
After coming back, I need to buy some food for the week and then chill for the rest of the night, since I need to get back to work tomorrow!
