We arrived in the late afternoon on Wednesday the 29th of February. We had enough time to settle into our hostel and grab dinner before going to see Wicked at the Apollo-Victoria Theater. I had seen Wicked before but the London cast did a great job. It was also cool to hear the familiar songs sung in British accents.
The next day we did a three hour guided walking tour of the city. Our guide took us around to many of the famous London sights like Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, and Buckingham Palace.
After the guided tour, we took it upon ourselves to find Tower Bridge. We walked across, took pictures and then rode the Underground to go back home. 
The Underground happened to stop beneath Kings Cross Station before reaching the stop by our hostel. So, we investigated, and were delighted to find that Platform 9 3/4 is real! (It's technically between tracks 8 and 9 but I was thrilled nonetheless).
The next day we had time to live out the Beatles Abbey Road cover before packing up and heading to Amsterdam.
