Hey guys, this is gonna be a long blog post!
This is over a month too late but I guess its better late than never so here is my experience at One Direction when I saw them at Wembley, London on 6th June 2014.
I went to see One Direction with my best friend Aleesha, We went to London on the Friday morning and stayed till the Sunday evening. It was such an amazing and memorable weekend with my favourite chummy. We stayed at the Tune Hotel in Westminster next to the London Eye, the weather was brilliant all weekend and we both got seriously burnt and looked like tomatoes. The hotel was average but we only wanted a room and thats all we cared about, the location was brilliant too.
Once we arrived in London we went straight to our hotel to drop off our luggage and then we were straight out the door to enjoy the sunshine. We walked by the London Eye and header towards Leicester Square to explore, we knew that we wanted to see an musical before we arrived in London and decided to see what was nearby, we looked at Les Miserable, Wicked, The Book of Mormon and we decided to go see Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, we didn't have tickets so we were hoping for cheap on the day tickets, we went to the box office and the most helpful man offered us two tickets for the cheapest price, he told us they were in the balcony which was being refurbished so that we wouldn't be able to use our tickets and later that evening they would be able to upgrade us to better seats for free. Me and Aleesha were sold so we headed back to Leicester Square to go to Pizza Hut for tea and then waddled back to Dury Lane to go back to the theatre. We were then upgraded to front row seats for the show and had the best view of the stage for the cheapest price, we were amazed! The show was brilliant and all the cast were fantastic. I would definitely give it a 10/10, the songs were also so catchy too!
On Saturday this was the day of One Direction and I have never been so excited in all my life! We went to Camden Lock in the morning as Aleesha has never been and I love it there! We walked around all the stalls and also went for drinks in Weatherspoons before deciding where to go next. After checking my city mapper for some time we decided that we would go check out Primrose Hill and see if we would spot some celebrities as we have never been there before. We got the bus from Camden to Primrose and we didn't have a clue where to go! We followed a few people and eventually reached a humungus park and after walking in 30 degree heat up the steepest hill ever!
But once at the top we had the most beautiful view of the whole of London it was stunning!
After sunbathing in the park we decided to head towards Swiss Cottage tube station to get ready to go to Wembley, we stopped in a nearby Starbucks to charge our phones and make use of the toilet and admired all the big and expensive houses around us and imagined what it would be like to live here. I would move there tomorrow if I could!
Once we arrived at Wembley it was complete madness the Tube station was heaving and I've never seen so many people in my whole life. The atmosphere was amazing everyone was so excited to see the show and I couldn't help but treat myself to some cheeky merchandise and got myself a programme and a festival wristband.
We then got to our seat which were in the tears of the stadium which I think was better than standing as I was peeing all night after drinking 5 pints of much needed Cider. 40 quid down the drain!
5SOS came on and were fantastic as normal as this is my third time seeing them! I was loving the songs whilst Aleesha only knew 'She Looks So Perfect' and I filmed the most cringest video of me singing along which I shall never share as I would die of shame!
Half an hour later and finally the theme music for 'Howling For You' is played and I know my boys are coming! After short little montage of 1D walking through various parts of the world they all appear and the roar of screams surround the stadium. 'Straight of the plane to a new hotel' echoes throughout the stadium as Harry Styles begins Midnight Memories to my delight. The show consisted of playing all my favourite songs, various hip thrusts and lots of fireworks. Im not going to lie and say it was the best show I've ever seen at Wembley as it wasn't, Ive seen Take That there and that was one of the best shows I've even been to and I'm not even a Take That fan, I felt that they boys were lazy and didn't utilise the stage, after all that is a huge stage think of all the other things they could have done, don't get me wrong I enjoyed the concert as the singing was great but I felt that they lacked showman ship.
We then battled the crowd to make our way back to the Tube then back to the hotel and didn't arrive home till at least 1am!
On the Sunday we dragged ourselves out of bed and decided to head to Brick Lane Market, another one of my favourites to explore. We had an amazing Halloumi lunch and then headed back into the centre of the city to go see the Gumball display on Regents Street. The Gumball display was a large rally with David Hastlehoff there and also they gave out free Krispy Kremes which were delightful. After heading out from Regents Street I check my Twitter to discover that Harry Styles is apparently sunbathing in Primrose Hill, in a panic me and Aleesha head straight over to Primrose in hopes of seeing the bushy haired boy. We arrive at Primrose, no luck at all! I was gutted it would have made all my dreams to have met him or at least spotted him. We then decided to take our sorrows back to Kings Cross to head home.
Overall it was a fantastic weekend and I loved every minute of it with my chummy and wish I could relive it all over again. Sorry for the length of this post I got carried away! Here are now some shots from our weekend!
