My top 10 things to do or see in London/ Mojih top 10 stvari koje treba napraviti ili vidjeti u Londonu

Apart from all things ordinary, like going sightseeing in London, here are a few things I enjoyed doing while I was there and learned from the people who are ''in the know''.

Osim uobičajenih stvari, kao što je razgledavanje znamenitosti u Londonu, ovo je nekoliko stvari u kojima sam ja uživala dok sam bila tamo i koje sam naučila od dobro upućenih.

1. Have a real English breakfast. My suggestion is Alpino, a sweet little restaurant/snack bar in Chapel Market. The food is really delicious and surprisingly inexpensive there. My English breakfast was a vegeterian one.

1. Probajte pravi engleski doručak. Moj je prijedlog Alpino, slatki mali restoran/snack bar u Chapel Marketu, Hrana je stvarno ukusna, a cijene su iznenađujuće povoljne. Moj je engleski doručak bio vegetarijanski.

2. Spend an evening out in The Comedy Store. You and your friends will really roar with laughter for as long as the stand up comedy lasts. And you can be relaxed there and sip your drinks while watching it.

2. Provedite večer u The Comedy Store. Zajedno s prijateljima, valjat ćete se od smijeha cijelo vrijeme trajanja stand up komedije. A možete se i opustiti tamo i pijuckati svoje piće dok gledate predstavu.

3. While you're there in London's West End, look for some souvenir shops. I found some really good ones and the prices were lower there. Don't be ashamed to buy some ''ordinary'' things such as coffee mugs, glass mats, pens, silly T-shirts and other things of everyday use. Because once you go back home and use those souvenirs on daily basis, they will constantly remind you of the beautiful days you spent in London.

3. Dok ste tamo u londonskom West Endu, potražite i dućane sa suvenirima. Ja sam našla neke stvarno dobre, a cijene su bile povoljnije tamo. Nemojte se sramiti kupiti neke ''obične'' stvari kao što su šalice za kavu, podmetači za čaše, kemijske olovke, smiješne majice i druge stvari za svakodnevnu uporabu. Zato što jednom kad se vratite doma i koristite te suvenire u svakodnevnom životu, stalno će vas podsjećati na lijepe dane provedene u Londonu.

4. Go to Selfridges or/and Harrods. Even if you can't afford to buy all the beautiful things you see there, if you're into fashion or/and make up, you just have to see that. Trust me!

4. Otiđite u Selfridges i/ili Harrods. Čak i ako si ne možete priuštiti sve lijepe stvari koje vidite tamo, a volite modu i/ili šminku, jednostavno to morate vidjeti. Vjerujte mi!

5. Take a walk along The River Thames. It's a beautiful walk and you will see many interesting people and famous sights of London on your way.

5. Prošećite se duž rijeke Temze, Šetnja onuda je prekrasna i putem ćete sresti puno zanimljivih ljudi i vidjeti mnoge londonske znamenitosti.

6. Cross the Millennium Bridge. Even if you're scared at first. (Like I was.)

6. Prijeđite preko Millennium Bridgea. Čak iako se isprva bojite. (Kao što sam se ja bojala.)

7. Take a ride on DLR, an automated light metro. It's a very exciting ride once you realise there is no driver on board. And you literally pass through some of the buildings. Afterwards, if you get lost in an unknown neighbourhood, you will find some great examples of modern architecture there.

7. Provozajte se DLR-om, automatiziranim metrom. Vožnja je jako uzbudljiva čim shvatite da u vlaku nema vozača. I doslovno prolazite kroz neke zgrade. Nakon toga, ako se izgubite u nepoznatoj četvrti, naći ćete neke sjajne primjere moderne arhitekture.

8. Try some new food. London is full of various restaurants and culinary influences from all over the world. It reflects in the variety of food offer as well. For example, I really liked falafel and salad at Pret a Manger, latte at Costa and a custard filled donut on Camden Market. 

8. Probajte neku novu hranu. London je prepun raznih restorana i kulinarskih utjecaja iz cijelog svijeta. To se također ogleda u raznovrsnoj ponudi hrane. Meni se, na primjer, stvarno svidio falafel i salata u Pret a Mangeru, latte u Costi i krafna punjena kremom custard na Camden Marketu. 

 

9. Don't forget to visit a local pub. Parcel Yard has a very interesting history and it is at the Kings Cross railway station. While you're there, try some real English chips with your drink.

9. Ne zaboravite posjetiti lokalni pub. Parcel Yard ima jako zanimljivu povijest i nalazi se na željezničkom kolodvoru Kings Cross. Dok ste tamo, uz svoje piće probajte i prave engleske pržene krumpiriće.

10. After that, make sure you go to Barrio. It's a bar with great atmosphere, excellent music and the most unique interior design. 

10.Nakon toga, svakako otiđite u Barrio. To je bar sa sjajnom atmosferom, odličnom glazbom i jedinstvenim uređenjem interijera.

And finally, do the tour around London. Depending on the time you have and your interests, see the places from guidebooks, such as: Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, The Tower of London, British Museum, London Eye, Westminster Abbey, Tower Bridge, Greenwich, Shakespearre's Globe Theatre, The London Bridge, Camden Market, Big Ben, The Houses of Parliament, Downing Street, St Paul's Cathedral, Piccadilly Circus, Soho. They are really worth seeing and the number of tourists visiting London every day are the best proof. Have fun! :-)

I na kraju, obiđite London. Ovisno o vremenu i interesima koje imate, pogledajte i mjesta iz vodiča, kao što su: Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, The Tower of London, British Museum, London Eye, Westminster Abbey, Tower Bridge, Greenwich, Shakespearre's Globe Theatre, The London Bridge, Camden Market, Big Ben, The Houses of Parliament, Downing Street, St Paul's Cathedral, Piccadilly Circus, Soho. Stvarno ih vrijedi pogledati, a broj turista koji svakodnevno posjećuju London, najbolji su dokaz toga. Ugodnu zabavu! :-)
