Fun stuff you can do in London

There is a lot of cool and interesting things that anyone can do in London but right now I want to talk about going to a thrift store....some of you might find it boring but there are people like me who like vintage, finding some precious items while swimming in a pool of old clothes and of course cheap stuff (because I am a student so I have limited funds).
So a couple of weeks ago me and my friends went to this cool thrift store in East London (where else.. East London is the place to be if you are a creative/hipster person).
Anyway what was special about this shop is that you don't pay per item but per bag - medium bag (actually I would call it small but whatever) was £10 and a big bag was £20.
The shop opened at 11 am but people were queuing from around 9 am. I managed to get there at 10 or so so I was more or less in the beginning/middle of the queue, which I was soo happy about considering it was cold outside and they didn't let everyone in at the same time.
Here are a couple of pictures that my friend took. She actually took more but these are the ones she posted on her blog and it was easier  to steal them :)




Here is a link to the thrift store if any one is interested. 
If I have time I might post pictures of what I got there, so you guys can get the idea of the shop. 

Have a lovely day xx

Oh Hey there! Council Tax

I can not apologise enough for me being absent for well.... a long time. To be fair life got in the way.
In any case I promise to blog more and share my experience of living in London.
Before I start telling what I have been up to and whats happening in London I want to finish telling you about the things you need to know when renting a flat/house.

Council Tax
If you area full time student like me you don't have to pay anything but you do need to provide prove that you are a student - you can just ask from your Uni student office a letter for the council tax and then apply for the Council Tax online or via post.

If you are not a full time student like moi then unfortunately you will have to worry about it but since I am so nice I will share this link with you : https://www.gov.uk/council-tax/working-out-your-council-tax 
It should help you guys understanding Council Tax and how to pay it.

I guess I don't know what else to share about finding a flat/house in London.
