Monday was the last day of my little vacay, and the only sunny day all weekend, so I went to Regents Park, which is northeast of Hyde Park. My friend Steph (from home, who is studying in London with a different program) lives pretty close to it and says she runs there every day, and now I'm officially jealous -- it's
beautiful. I took the bus from South Kensington to the southwest corner of the park and just took a walk. The whole southern end was gorgeous, with tons of flowers and a lake and fountains. If I had the rest of the summer here I'd probably go to this park every weekend and just walk or read. Well, every weekend that it was sunny. So not a whole lot of weekends, actually. There was a café that I'd go back to if I had time and a restaurant called -- get this -- The Honest Sausage. I'll let you take what you want from that.
Connected to the north end of Regent's Park is Primrose Hill, a green hill that you can see a lot of London from the top of. It was still pretty foggy out (when I say it was "sunny" on Monday, I mean that the sun was visible and I could feel its heat; that's all) so the view wasn't too fabulous, but they had a little sign that pointed out certain landmarks, like Saint Paul's. The area around the hill, also called Primrose Hill, is pretty cute, and I think a lot of celebs live there.
