Walks Final

The City East  A favorite of mine because of the atmosphere of the general area. We went at lunch time when at the business men and women were venturing out in their business attire to find lunch, and I loved seeing everyone like that. The area was clean, the architecture was diverse but incredible, and the Tower of London at the end of the walk was a perfect way to end it.

Fleet Street and St. Pauls. As I look back through the walks I have completed, I am realizing that we did the majority of them at night, and the night time ones were usually my favorite. This one is another example of that. Seeing St. Pauls all lit up was brilliant. I liked this one for the inspiring pubs. I use the word inspiring because they housed major literary figures in their most productive days, and I love that atmosphere. I love walking in to a pub and knowing that it was there that masterpieces were created.

Central Parks A day time walk that was absolutely gorgeous. This walk introduced me to a whole stream of parks I had no idea about. The St. James park for example, I didn't even know it existed, so to get to spend time in it was gorgeous. We did this walk on one of the first nice days, so it got me excited for Spring.

Lambeth and the South Bank was my favorite walk. We did this walk at night, in our favorite area, and I suppose that is why it is my favorite. Seeing everything lit up was fantastic. Big Ben is even more splendid at night than it is during the day, and I didn't even think that was possible.

Even though these walks seemed like a chore at times, I really am glad I did them. It was so neat to get out and explore different areas of the city that I would not normally go. Doing this helped me to find neat little places that I later went back to and enjoyed again. This definitely added to my London experience and helped me to get to know the city better.
