Been There, Done That

As I look back on my time in London, I thought it'd be fun to list everything I did and saw in my four-month home.  Yes, everything-- museums, attractions, pubs, bars and restaurants.

So here's my list!  Four months in London, and I've got this to show for it:)  I would try to distinguish my favorite attractions, but honestly I've loved them all, so that'd be pointless.  I'd recommend nearly everything on this list.
