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. 🤔

The HL (presumably a local landmark) is located right here, ON the bridge. It doesn't exactly look impressive when crossing it. To enjoy the fantastic view you see in the photos, you have to walk all the way around the pond. And today (February) I was ankle-deep in mud. On the other hand, two dozen squirrels were happily dancing around me. A worthwhile detour, but with some limitations, at least in the winery.

Queens Mary Garden is located in Regent's Park. I really like the Japanese garden and the ponds.

Queen Mary's Gardens is a world-famous garden named after the wife of King George V. When Queen Mary's Gardens opened to the public in 1932, the first director planted a rose garden, which was completed in 1934.

The Mixed Pond is a natural bathing pond and one of London's best open air swimming spots. The water is deep and opaque and suitable for competent swimmers only.

Just a short hop from Central London, this 520-acre (211 ha) wetland is a treat for wildlife enthusiasts and those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. These reservoirs provide drinking water for around 3.5 million people every day. Cyclists are welcome on the designated paths but be aware that pedestrians have priority here.

All the paths around here are shared with pedestrians - and, often, dogs off leads - and kids running around. Caution required!

bring seeds and leave them for the birds on the bridge
