On Wednesday I had a lovely day in London with the Mark Warner Mums. Living in the country is just wonderful, but I love getting the opportunity to spend a day wandering a city. London just has so many faces, and I adore that.
This is week I had the chance to wander Kensington, an area that is dotted with pretty parks and high streets full of street cafes and gorgeous shops, almost giving it an urban village feel. And when the sun is shining it is particularly beautiful.
When I have a little extra time in London I always head to my favourite place. So I head over to Covent Garden to have a mooch around then walk to Kings Cross. The tubes were packed as it was tea time. And it is so much more pleasant to walk if you have a little time on your hands.
I think it must have been the sunshine, but when I look back at my pics I seemed to have focused on the greenery and park element of our great city. The thing is in London, you may be in a city but you are never far from a park or a gorgeous flower display.
Little beats London in the sunshine #mysundayphoto
You are so right, I just love it x
Gorgeous photos….You seem to have captured all the prettiness of London x
Ah thanks so much Kim x
I’m sure I have walked past that red phone box before. All lovely photos showing off the area.
Its in such a pretty entrance isnt it? x
I love London in the Sun and I when I see it in photos I always forget just how green a city it is. It’s time I took a trip back, it’s been a few months….far too long!
Hope you had a wonderful time away

Hi Sarah, I have never explored London, but I can imagine it is an exciting place to explore. It looks like you had good weather, which must have been nice. Your Underground and phone box photos are fab. The essence of London.

The red and green work so well together as they are the complimentary opposite colours. #MySundayPhoto

Gorgeous photos! I love a wander round London too. I lived in Hammersmith for a couple of years and used to walk down to Kensington every weekend because I loved it there.

I really did appreciate all the parks and greenery in London, it makes such a massive city feel very welcoming, and provides escapes from all the noise and hustle and bustle of city life.
Yrs I agree, you really get best of both worlds x
Great pics – need a trip down to London very soon i think!! #citytripping
