The old docks in the East End... Sometimes the redevelopment works, sometimes it doesn't quite. It's noticeable how much money has been invested here, and it's certainly a stylish and undoubtedly very expensive place to live. But it was so empty. So soulless. Apart from a few pigeons, there was no sign of life. When a delivery van did turn the corner or a person hurried by, the sound echoed loudly and felt even more lonely. The square is beautifully laid out, but for me, it's absolutely NOT inviting. I sat down anyway and took a break to see if anything would happen. Maybe in the summer? I was there in February. 🤔

A little oasis of countryside in the midst of London. The bench in front of the pond is perfect for a short stop for a snack with a view.

St. James's Park is the oldest of London's eight royal parks. Located in the City of Westminster, it covers 23 hectares and is bordered to the north by The Mall, to the east by Horse Guards, to the south by Birdcage Walk, and to the west by Buckingham Palace Road.

nice park to take your dog for a shit

When you come and visit Limehouse remember you're at the gateway between the River Thames and over 2,000 miles of navigable canals and rivers. It connects to the rest of our network along the Limehouse Cut - the oldest canal in London and one you may recognise from a certain Mission Impossible film sequence. Once a dock, today Limehouse is a marina, home to narrowboats, yachts and visiting ocean-going pleasure craft. Yet with shops and cafes, it still makes for a great spot for a family day out or afternoon stroll. Look out for the road swing bridge at the entrance to the Thames. When tall masted boats either arrive or leave the basin, Narrow Street traffic is stopped. Red lights and a siren indicate to the traffic that they must stop, then the barriers come down before the bridge swings open. (https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/places-to-visit/limehouse-basin)

The Diana fountain is the iconic image of Bushy Park. Installed here in 1713, the statue does not include the hunting dogs and bow that normally accompany a statue of the Roman goddess. The suggestion being, this isn't Diana at all, but the Greek water nymph Arethusa.

This park is very beautiful, large and has lots of paths for cycling. 🌲🌳🚲
