‘Peter and I spent our early dating days exploring London together. We loved walking around the city and taking it all in.
Peter lived in Wolfson House near Guy’s Campus, so for our first date, he made a reservation at a restaurant on the Thames and requested that we have a table that faced Tower Bridge. It was very romantic seeing the bridge lit up at night, it was a great start to our story.
Both being American, we wanted to make the most of the time we had in London. So we picked a new activity to do each weekend. Some of our favourites included the Courtauld Gallery, visiting Greenwich, the Museum of London, and Borough Market.
We frequented the many great pubs around King's, including Gordon's Wine Bar near Embankment station. We made so many great friends in the city and we very sad to leave at the end of the year.
We married in December 2016, but we delayed our honeymoon until summer 2017. We are planning to visit London for a week in August. We’d like to visit all our old haunts as well as experience a few things that are new since our last visit including The Shard.
We’re looking forward to seeing old friends when we’re back in London. King's was a life changing experience for us and we never hesitate to recommend the university or London to anyone.’
