Not only were we going for a photography exhibition that I was desperate to see, but we were also there for ten hours, so there was a lot of time to just mooch around and see more of London. Plus, we caught the train rather than the coach, so that cut out two hours of travelling too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">We arrived in Paddington in the morning, and &#8211; as the exhibition didn&#8217;t open until midday &#8211; decided to head towards St James&#8217; Park. Rather than take the tube we decided to walk &#8211; save a bit of money and see more of the city. We never made it to the park, we got distracted by Big Ben and the Thames. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/120279846_613758355960181_2491986016591816377_n-1440x1920.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1304\" width=\"539\" height=\"719\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/120279846_613758355960181_2491986016591816377_n-1440x1920.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/120279846_613758355960181_2491986016591816377_n-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/120279846_613758355960181_2491986016591816377_n-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/120279846_613758355960181_2491986016591816377_n-800x1067.jpg 800w, https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/120279846_613758355960181_2491986016591816377_n.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 539px) 100vw, 539px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1903\" src=\"https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/120192584_338767604222086_4473788296375823728_n-1440x1903.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1307\" data-link=\"https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/?attachment_id=1307\" class=\"wp-image-1307\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/120192584_338767604222086_4473788296375823728_n-1440x1903.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/120192584_338767604222086_4473788296375823728_n-300x396.jpg 300w, https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/120192584_338767604222086_4473788296375823728_n-1163x1536.jpg 1163w, https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/120192584_338767604222086_4473788296375823728_n-800x1057.jpg 800w, https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/120192584_338767604222086_4473788296375823728_n.jpg 1550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/120184600_1707926069358374_4436381274315592487_n-1-1440x1920.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1308\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/120184600_1707926069358374_4436381274315592487_n-1.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/?attachment_id=1308\" class=\"wp-image-1308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/120184600_1707926069358374_4436381274315592487_n-1-1440x1920.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/120184600_1707926069358374_4436381274315592487_n-1-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/120184600_1707926069358374_4436381274315592487_n-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/120184600_1707926069358374_4436381274315592487_n-1-800x1067.jpg 800w, https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/120184600_1707926069358374_4436381274315592487_n-1.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">The exhibition was amazing.

He creates travel documentaries that go to places you wouldn&#8217;t usually see, like war zones and places deemed to be too dangerous for travel, but also meets the people behind them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">After the exhibition, we decided that we wanted to go to another book shop where he&#8217;d been signing copies of his book &#8211; it&#8217;s also a travel book shop, and after watching Notting Hill how can you not take the opportunity to visit a travel book shop? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/120236023_799321674221278_3352033186552962919_n-1440x1920.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1301\" width=\"541\" height=\"721\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/120236023_799321674221278_3352033186552962919_n-1440x1920.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/120236023_799321674221278_3352033186552962919_n-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/120236023_799321674221278_3352033186552962919_n-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/120236023_799321674221278_3352033186552962919_n-800x1067.jpg 800w, https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/120236023_799321674221278_3352033186552962919_n.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 541px) 100vw, 541px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanfords.co.uk\/london-store\">bookshop is Stanford&#8217;s<\/a>, and it&#8217;s my new happy place. It&#8217;s two storeys of travel related books &#8211; fiction and non-fiction &#8211; and they always host events with related authors, so you can sometimes pick up a signed copy of books there too. I managed to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3i7cMJ3\">get the photographic book from the exhibition<\/a> that had been signed (the link copy isn&#8217;t signed) &#8211; which has now been smuggled away by my mum until Christmas. I also <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3kM3PXs\">left with a copy of The Kindness of Strangers<\/a>, which is short stories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">After that we walked around the city &#8211; 24,000 steps in total by the end of the day &#8211; and just looked at the sites we came across. We ended up in Soho, China Town &#8211; as I always do &#8211; and Camden Market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex
