The Monument

Whenever anyone asks me for a cool place to go to in London, I like to recommend The Monument. The name sounds so general hahaha (imagine the conversation: pergi mana? Monument. Ha? Ala monument tu. What? Do you know how many monuments there are in London?!) so it's actually Monument to the Fire of London, a historical landmark located just outside Bank/Monument Station. It was built way back in 1677, a very big, tall pillar with an entrance on one side and a viewing deck at the top. 

It costs about 5 pounds per entry, and you get an certificate after you climb! I need to put a big warning sign here: it is a long, long, long, long climb up the 311 steps. There's no elevator and it's an ascent up a narrow, spiral stone staircase. But the view is worth it :) 



My favourite time to go is juuust before sunset.. to see the skies turn purple and pink :D I mean look at that cloud such a cute little candy floss.

I edited my writing on this one using the brushes in the PicsArt app.  




Protip: Try and go on a slightly less windy day because ... it can get cold. #icantfeelmyfingershere #icantevenfeelmylegs #311steps !
