Yes, the family is sad to leave London. There are so many great things to see, do, and eat in this city. As with good there is also bad, and there are a few things that we will not shed one tear for when we arrive back in America.
Cheerio bus that never comes - While we base our mornings on timings from the bus app, there are some mornings where it just doesn't show up for 20+ minutes. The delay could be for any number of things: traffic, lack of drivers, broken down bus, or even just a driver that drives really slow. A bus that doesn't arrive does not make for a happy start to the day.
Cheerio fake nice nice talk - In Britain, chances are if someone says they'd like to go for coffee or have you over don't hold your breath. It's all a piece of the social dance, and unless they are actually your friend, they don't really want to go with you. Full Stop.
Cheerio tiny fridge, oven, and cooktop - For real, the appliances in our house are so tiny. Maybe it's because I brought my big American pots & pans, but it perplexes me how any large family functions with the minuscule appliances.

Cheerio kids on scooters - It's a right of passage in the UK for little Alfie & Charlotte to get a scooter on their third birthdays. A lot of times the scooter is a help for mummy & daddy so they can pull their little darling down the high street instead of being held up by short legs. Once the cherubs develop the proper coordination, they are scooting off! Off through busy sidewalk traffic. Off into the street at a corner. Off into the back of my legs. Broad generalization here, but the kids are not taught proper scooting rules of the road.
In all truthfulness, these sometimes maddening situations made living in a different country worth it. If everything was like America, there'd be no reason to leave. So maybe a small tear will pool in the corner of our eyes.
