Seoul (South Korea) Day 4: Hongdae Fashion Street + 943 King's Cross Cafe + Ewha Womans University

We arrived at Hongdae Fashion Street at 11.50am, ready to start shopping. After a few days of sightseeing, it was finally time to kickstart in retail therapy.

It was a long stretch of street lined with boutiques offering a variety of items. From trendy clothes and beauty products to unique souvenirs, there was many things to explore. Most of the clothing were thick pieces, preparing for the winter season.

I managed to get a short sleeve top from this boutique, 'From D' at ₩15,000 (or S$14.75). While the clothing in this area leaned towards the pricier side, the quality was quite not bad.

Hongdae is a bustling area filled with boutique shops, trendy cafes and eateries, making it a popular spot to hang out especially for the younger crowd. After an hour of shopping, we completed the stretch and decided it was time for lunch.

Being a Potterhead, visiting 943 King's Cross Cafe was a must for me, a huge fan of Harry Potter. It was only 10 minutes walk from Hongdae, we reached the cafe around 1.15pm.

I took a magical journey on a broomstick straight to King's Cross Station. Outside the cafe, there was a broom parking photo spot area, inviting everyone to capture a bit of magic before stepping inside.
