Lady on a Day Trip to Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick Castle, the Cotswolds, and Oxford

On Friday I celebrated my four year anniversary of living in London. Throughout my time here, I’ve made an effort to see as much of the country as I can. One way I’ve gone about it is to take day trips from London to other parts of England. I always do so independently, either by train or car. Until Saturday, that is. On Saturday I went on an organized day trip from London to Stratford-upon-Avon, the Cotswolds, Warwick Castle, and Oxford compliments of GetYourGuide.

Lady in Maida Vale

One of the best things about living in London is that there are so many unique neighborhoods. From the funky markets in Notting Hill to the organic pubs in Angel, you don’t have to go far to feel like you have traveled a long distance. But while every London neighborhood is different, most of them are laid out in a similar fashion: a high street full of restaurants and shops surrounded by a residential area. However, there is one neighborhood in London where this rule doesn’t apply: Maida Vale.
