London 2012 - Part 2: Sightseeing and walks (1)

[luinalda]

The "sightseeing" part will consist of several parts of its own (probably 3 or more), because there are quite a lot of pictures I'd like to fit in here. ;-) They aren't really in any particular order...


Piccadilly Circus











Coventry Street

The direct way from Piccadilly Circus to Leicester Square.
When I was there on Sunday it looked like this:



Only 2 days later they had already changed the decoration for the Olympics...




Personally I liked the Union Jacks better. ;-) The "London 2012" banners look a bit... boring, I think. *shrugs*

But you could already see flags and other signs for the Olympic Games all over the city.





Leicester Square

The tkts booth was actually the very first thing I went to on Sunday morning. :D I wanted to buy tickets for "One Man, Two Guvnors" on Wednesday (evening performance) and "The Phantom Of The Opera" on Tuesday. I had no problems with "One Man" and got a good seat at quite a good price. :-) "Phantom" was a different matter. The guy told me that they usually do get tickets, but not before Monday, probably only on Tuesday even... I then went back to tkts on Monday morning again, but as they still told me "Tomorrow maybe..." I ended up buying my ticket directly at the Her Majesty's Theatre as I didn't want to take any risks. ;-) 

 





On Monday I also had a look around the "M&M's World" shop, which is really quite big. ;D It was very interesting seeing all the merchandise and stuff and I loved those big tubes with the m&m's in them. *yummy* But I didn't buy anything in the end...

Du warst echt zum richtigen Zeitpunkt da. Es wird nie wieder die Chance geben, London mit diesen ganzen Bannern und Fahnen zu sehen :).

Super, dass es mit "One Man, Two Guvnors" so gut geklappt hat. War aber abzusehen, da die jedes Mal, wenn ich auf deren Webseite geguckt habe, Ticket dabei hatten. Man spart echt ne Menge Geld für gute Karten.

Fandest du Leicester Square auch so enttäuschend nach der langen Bauzeit? Ich hab gedacht, dass das war ganz besonderes wird. Ich war echt total davon enttäuscht.

Der M&M Store ist doch echt genial, oder? Ich bring mir meistens eine Kleinigkeit mit. Aber alleine schon diese ganzen Gefäße mit den zig Farben ist schon genial und du kannst dir sogar angucken, wie die die herstsellen.. Ich finde das total cool :)

Cool! Ja die olympischen Ringe an der Tower Bridge haben wir auch gesehen. Aber von was für Handabdrücken am Leicester Square redet ihr hier denn? Die kenne ich nicht. Und wo muss ich den M&M Store suchen? Den kannte ich auch noch nicht, aber sieht klasse aus!

Lol, I had no idea an M&M's World even existed. Looks fun *g*
