 NATIONAL GALLERY IN TRAFALGAR SQUARE CENTRAL LONDON 

An eye-opening experience visiting the National Gallery in London. Founded in 1824, it's one of the largest galleries in Europe that holds a stunning collection of artwork and sculpture.

DAY 3 in London. We stayed for a night at Travelodge London Central Kings Cross which is a stone throw from Harry Potter Shop King's Cross at Platform 9 3/4. The hotel's buffet breakfast (£6.50) serves only a typical breakfast of cereals, granola, cookies, pastries, croissants, toasts and fruits with coffee and tea, so we opt out to look for some 'real' English breakfast treats piled with meaty sausages and bacon with eggs!
