The cool weather continues and the sun has retired behind a veil of clouds.

Pret A Manger

For breakfast we went along to Pret in Angel Central.

Sainsbury’s – not today

Afterwards, we walked past Sainsbury’s. Yes, you read that correctly: we are not doing our usual shopping run today because… well, the because will reveal itself later.

Aboard the 274

Instead, we boarded a 274 bus which took us along an intricate route round the neighbourhood, finally depositing us at Regent’s Park.

Regent’s Canal

Leaving the bus, we crossed the Regent’s Canal and…

Into to park

…entered the park.

Planted area

It is a multipurpose park with planted areas and…

Games

…areas for cricket and football.

The Hub

We stopped off at a circular cafe called the Hub.

Distant views

The cafe is on a hillock so there are distant views of London.

Chestnut blossom

Walking on, we paused to admire the chestnut tree in bloom.

Flower beds

We passed the flower beds full of colour and perfuming the air.

The lake

We came to the lake where there are water fowl to watch.

Rock pool

We came to the picturesque rock pool and…

Waterfall

…viewed the waterfall.

Bench with a view

We found a bench with a view and sat for a while.

At the top

We then walked to the top of the waterfall and took a photo looking down.

George V gate

We left the park by the George V gate and walked down to Marylebone Road and a bus stop.

Aboard the 30

There we boarded a number 30 bus which carried us back to the Angel and home. We will have lunch and then prepare for our next adventure.
