Liz bevan, carly Flamm & I led each other on a beautiful night walk taking us by big ben, house of parliament & right by buckingham palace. It was a great way to see the city all lit up at night with spectacular views. It kept hitting us on the walk just how lucky we are to be living in this city with all the history and culture present in buildings and monuments every where you look. The pic below is of us right in front of buckingham where the queen resides. The queen wasn't there when we walked by because the union flag wasn't flying. I really enjoyed this walk and seeing how everything was all connected. I have gone on some great runs thru st James park & by big ben but this was a nice opportunity for me to just walk around and actually learn about all the history that was present around those areas. Definitely a great walk to be done-night or day!
I wouldn't have considered doing any of the walks at night, but you choose well to do this one.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you have only 2 walks left to do, Paige: Kew to Hammersmith and Regent's Park. I think you'll love Regent's Park--it would be a great place for a runner.
