After crossing customs and grabbing our bags, we took the tube to Maida Vale, where we were going to stay with Jason's friend, Rob. Rob, by the way, speaks fluent Mandarin and lived in Shanghai and Beijing for a few years.
We then went on a walking tour that Rob mapped out for us. We saw Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace, the Household Cavalry, St. James's Park, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, and the National Portrait Gallery. It was a lot of walking but we got through it all!
When we found the platform there was a line-up for your picture to be taken. There were 2 employees there and the job of 1 of them was to throw up your Hogwarts scarf for the picture so it looks like you're running into the wall.
