Today will be the day that I will finally set foot in London. Home of the Beatles, Harry Potter, Sherlock Holmes and many more. To travel from Paris to London we took the high-speed bullet train and even that took us around 2 hours. Never thought it was that far apart. Arrived in London at King's Cross St Pancras Station. For those HP fans out there you should know full well what this train station means. But alas, we were tired from sitting in the train and I for one are having butt cramps from sitting too long. So we took the Tube/underground train to Russell Square and checked in to the Generator Hostel.
The Generator Hostel, London.
Every floor is decorated with some of Londons famous figures. We got the Mary Poppins.
Walls are filled with funny British quotes like this.
Signage leading towards the pub area.
We were given time to freshen up and once we're all done its the Lyceum Theatre located in the City of Westminster. Once there, I noticed that most of the buildings are in Victorian style of London. With Greek pediments, balustrades and other medieval styles mixed into one.

The show was based on the Lion King movie made famous by Disney. The storyline was pretty much the same but they did improvise some parts to make it more interesting. Overall, the show was very colourful with the ambience of the backgrounds and the costumes that they wear. And as a big fan of the Lion King it was an amazing experience. They even almost made me cry during the part where Mufasa died and Simba was trying to wake his dad up. But, too bad I didn't.
The crazy baboon, Rafiki.
But I think the character that stole the show was definitely Scar. Even in the movie Scar was every bit classy and a bit of a drama-queen. Or should I say drama-king?
