Arriving in London and being all of the place!

Hello!
Now I have spent one and a half day in London.
The Journey started on Saturday, with getting up at 7am, to walk to the central station and take the bus to the airport. When I got there I realised I had too much time to wait, because the check in has´t opened yet.
When it finally opened I checked in my bag and waited for my flight to Berlin, Which went ok.
I had a few hours in Berlins airport, which was actually my first time being there, which might be good to get a feel of the airport when i´m heading there with my brother.

From Berlin I flew to London Heathrow, which is my go to airport whenever I fly to London, I have flown to London City Airport once though.
From London Heathrow I took the subway (or the tube) and went from there to Kings Cross, where I have my hostel.
The first Evening I spent I went to grab something to eat, at a place called Ed´s Diner at Euston Station (one stop from Kings Cross) which became a regular thing whenever I´m in London, and I went to Camden town to see if anything was open, which it sadly wasn´t. So I walked up to Primrose Hill, and took in the view! Later i went back to the hostel, being tired from the trip.

​

A full Day!

The second day started Early, not that I wanted to, and I thought I could get to Kew Gardens early and have time to explore it, since I haven´t been there before, So I arrived there at 9am, and got the message that they opened at 10am, so I wouldn´t waste time and wait, so from there I traveled to Notting Hill and Portobello market, I arrived when people started to unpack their merchandise on the tables, so there was´t a lot to see (I can recommend going there on a saturday after 11am), so I took a walk down portobello street and back to the tube station, and went to Tottenham court road, where a store called Primark is, to see if I could find some clothes, but they opened at 12, and I arrived at 11am. Bad timing all day apparently.
From Tottenham court road I went to Covent garden and having a look around at the market square over there, and grabbed som lunch.
I took a stroll from there to Leicester square and on the way I found a comic book store and bought some Punisher comics, I noticed some swedish people and we talked for a bit!
I went to Trafalgar square and apparently there was a festival of sorts there, and I didn´t have a ticket for it (since I didn´t know there was a festival there) So I went in the National Gallery, seeing a lot of beautiful paintings, which was actually the first time being there as well.


From there I though I would take another chance at Kew Gardens, So I went there again, and When I got there, it was a 15min line to get in. When I finally got in I noticed how beautiful! The Scenery was amazing! I will post a video just for that!
I spent over 2 hours being there, by the end I noticed my eyes were starting to itch (probably some pollen allergy, I haven´t confirmed if I have it or not), so I went back to the hostel and uploaded videos from Gothenburg, because the hostels WiFi is bad at times!
What do I have planned today?
I will go and check out Wembley stadium, and check out more of Camden town, and go outside of London and visit some friends!
