When in London

My husband and I were married on December 28 and spent our honeymoon in the town he grew up: London. He had told me all about the London nightlife but I was not at all prepared for how extraordinary it actually was.

We stayed at a London hotel which was hosting a lavish New Year party for all the guests. This party began on December 30 and continued on until the very early hours of January 1. I found that the English people are very welcoming and they made me feel like I was at home in their city.

Nightclubs in London are similar to those in the United States. Music spills out into the streets where many people can be found dancing and having a good time. What is most different about London is the lack of anger or violence you might find in clubs in the US. Everybody is out to just have a great time and nobody is looking for a fight. I enjoyed every minute we spent out in the city and quickly fell in love with London and its people.

Besides all the places to go clubbing there are also many quaint little pubs where many locals spend their evenings listening to bands play. I enjoyed the nightclubs but I really, really liked the pubs even more. It was such a treat to find a warm, dark corner, order a meal, and sit for hours watching and listening to the local people carry on their conversations. This was just the kind of place I would love to live and raise a family.

We spent two full weeks in London and I really hated having to leave. My husband and I are making plans to go back in the summer and we’ve also talked about making our lives there. I can’t think of anything better than to live in that great city and be a part of every New Year party that takes place in London.
