London-Scotland 2017:Part 5 Night Walk And Tube Day
Part 5: Night Walk And Tube Day
We’re back and it is part five of the London- Scotland Tour!
So last post I revisit Camden and went to the Versailles
gig as female as well as having to catch a cab (Uber) sober as female and I did all this
on my own but it didn’t end there when I got in.
When I got in I was thinking about bed, I stripped off and took all my makeup off but when it came to getting into bed I couldn’t, it just seemed a waste after the gig to go bed and is something I don’t like doing, I could have gone back to Camden but I wasn’t in the mood for clubbing so I decided to go and see London at night instead. So I set out on a long walk which would cover around 2.5 miles which was set to Waterloo Bridge.
Light pollution
When I got to Waterloo Bridge I had to take a couple of pictures as I
was amazed how much light pollution that London gives off because as the sky
was just lit up. Then it was
about getting to Westminster Bridge via Queens Walk which is a path next
to the River Themes. That was a good walk and goes past Jubilee Gardens,
the London Eye, Shrek’s Adventure, The London Dungeon and the Sealife London
Aquarium. I didn’t realise how big the London Eye is till I was next to it.
I would of liked to go into London as female as I did plan to do it but I got hit with an issue and that was my neck, it was sore and full of spots which I didn't think I moisturised it well with 2 days of shaving and heavy makeup, so it was sore and screwed so I had no option but to go out as male. I was gutted but to be fair I already did more than enough to boost my confidence. The picture is my neck just less than 12 hours after I shaved.
Monday 30th January was the full day where I
wanted to see London where I wouldn’t have to panic about getting to see the
places, Harrods was first on my list to visit first, I thought what a place to go to! High end designer clothes, high end technology and furniture… okays I wasn’t
that interested in furniture. I was walking around passing through the makeup
as I really didn’t need makeup as much as it killed me as I had one place I
wanted to visit for that, but I went straight to clothes and I thought what the
hell, I was so disappointed that it was pretty much stuff I see at a Selfridges
and the higher end House Of Frasers. The really top stuff I didn’t like £2.000
for a coat and it was horrid. Stella McCarthy, Alexander McQueen etc some of
the stuff I saw just made ask why would people want to wear this and think it’s
good? That was the same opinion many others had around me as well.

| £68.000 Sony TV |
I had a quick walk around even to the Electronic Department
where there is a Currys PC World and was amazed by the sizes of TV’s that they
had. I was amazed with the 100” Sony TV they had… Many people will know that I
don’t really Like Sony mainly for PlayStation but that story for another post.
I think the best part about Harrods was the technology as it had loads to offer
but I was short on time and left disappointing and wanting to comfort eat on a
KFC which I hunted down and had to catch a bus.
After food it was to Piccadilly Circus which was a tube
ride… Yes! The screens that look so good in the movies and adverts it was a
place on my “To See List” only then to get there and the screens was covered
up, it turns out they’re making one screen that covers it all rather than it
being separate screens. Small fact for you, this makes it the first time since
The Blitz in the second world war the Piccadilly lights/screens have been
turned off.

I decided to then go back to Trafalgar Square as I wanted to
get a picture of the Transgender Symbol, I know there are other symbols which
others might say I should have taken pictures of but that isn’t what I’m about. I got the picture I wanted after a few tries then I
remembered I needed something and that was a cheap backpack. I spent loads of
time going in shops as I didn’t want to spend loads on a backpack for
something to pretty much hold my coats. After going in a few TK Maxx stores I
moved onto Oxford Street.

| Trafalgar Square |
Oxford Street has always been a place I’ve wanted to go but
as time moved on I only had a couple of places to visit which was Debenhams and
Selfridges. I heard a Kat Von D stall was in one of them which I went to look
for. I managed to find it in Debenhams which was great, the girl that served me
was awesome gave me great tips and was willing to have a little chat with me. I
bought a couple of things from there which was the Interstellar eye shadow
pallet and the Lock-It foundation, unfortunately it wouldn’t be used whist I
was in London. After moving on I did find a Primark which I decided on buying a
crappy £8 bag so I could store my coats while I was going from London.
Unfortunately, by the time I got to where I wanted to go,
loads of places like the Tower Of London was shutting and the same with London
Zoo when I checked online so it was on to walking across the Tower Bridge, and
looking around there. I decided that I would get a picture of the tower then I
walked past HMS Belfast where I saw a picture opportunity to get both the Tower
Bridge and HMS Belfast as a picture.
It didn’t end there though, a guy came next to me with his
camera and saw a picture opportunity like I did. Photography
was a hobby for him and nothing more and came up from Southampton just to get
picture at night with the cloud in view. For him it wasn’t working and for me
also but I just wanted a clear picture with the ship and bridge. Which I got!
I spent about 30 mins with him listening to his stories but
it got too cold, and my phone battery was less than 20% by this time so it was
time to retire back to my hotel. By the time I got back I decided to take one
last trip to Islington pretty much as a mental thank you for getting me to go
to London, for O2 Venue to host Versailles. I went to bed early knowing I would
be up early and with all the travelling I did I was soon fast asleep.
That’s it for this part thanks for reading, the next part
will be not just about leaving London but a small event that happened on the
way home which could have resulted in a massive accident and possible me and
others injured or dead. Find out soon
