Hello my darlings! It's Friday again, and you know what that means - time for another Pink Tutu adventure! This week, I'm whisking you all off to London! I love travelling by train. The journey is a great chance to catch up on my favourite ballet books or scribble down ideas for my next tutu outfit (a pink and turquoise floral number for the autumn? I do love a bit of colour clashing!), and watch the scenery whizz by. Plus, there's something rather glamorous about arriving in the capital by train, wouldn't you say?
I'm so excited to share my London escapades with you, because I always find so many enchanting things to see and do in this fabulously fabulous city. Let's begin our adventure!
Pink Tutu Takes London!
As soon as I hopped off the train, I knew this trip was going to be special. The air hummed with excitement and the sunshine was positively dazzling. I felt like I was in a beautiful dream! After a quick pit stop at a lovely little tea room (a pot of Earl Grey and a scone with clotted cream, naturally!), I was off on my explorations, wearing my latest pink tutu masterpiece – a shimmery tulle confection, perfectly complementing the sunshine. You just can’t go wrong with a pink tutu on a London adventure, my dears!
From Theatreland to Bloomsbury’s Literary Charms
First on the agenda, a ballet performance in the heart of Theatreland! The sheer grandeur of the theatre absolutely took my breath away. It was an exquisite Victorian masterpiece, every detail gleaming with a history of magic. And the performance? A captivating dance of dreams, swirling with emotion and a touch of whimsy that left me spellbound. My favourite ballerina was simply sensational – her movements were a pure delight, a harmonious blend of grace and power.
Leaving the theatre, a touch of theatre-magic lingered, making everything seem even brighter. I wandered down Covent Garden, stopping to admire the flower stalls – their fragrant beauty almost as mesmerizing as the dancing!
Then, off to Bloomsbury, the literary heart of London, to explore a haven of books and history! Imagine, the ghosts of Virginia Woolf, Jane Austen and Charles Dickens lingering in these streets, sipping their tea and penning timeless tales! It’s almost enough to make a girl cry!
Tea, Treats and Shopping! Oh My!
Of course, no trip to London is complete without a bit of shopping! You see, I can’t just go anywhere without searching out a beautiful new addition to my tutu wardrobe. I must say, the streets around Oxford Circus were buzzing with energy – so many vibrant boutiques just waiting to be explored! And let’s not forget, I absolutely adored finding that gorgeous, hand-stitched vintage brooch that just screamed “Pink Tutu chic” at me.
I squeezed in a delightful afternoon tea (always a must!), amidst the elegant ambiance of a quintessentially British tearoom. The scones were divine, the tea heavenly and the atmosphere pure fairytale!
Royal Majesty and a Day of Delight!
To wrap up my day, I headed for the iconic Buckingham Palace, so full of history, grandeur and those lovely red guards who always look so dashing! (My favourite colour!). The atmosphere was truly magical, a whirlwind of historical echoes.
I have to say, this London trip was a symphony of delights, a pink-tutu-fuelled adventure. And I know what you are all thinking, my dears! Where did I get my outfit? Oh, just the sweetest little shop in Derbyshire - all hand-sewn pink tulle wonders. I’ll tell you all about it next week!
Remember to join me here each Friday at www.pink-tutu.com for another #PinkTutuBlogLondon adventure! And don’t forget, darlings, you can join the pink-tutu revolution by wearing your own unique style and letting your inner princess shine!

Lots of love and twirls,
