Giraffe Sighting!

Yesterday, on the advice of my roommate Jenn I went adventuring to Regent's Park, which is about a 20-25 min walk from my flat on Finchley Road. The walk down Avenue Road was beautiful, lots of fancy houses. I even saw a security guard standing outside the gate of one property! When I got to Regent's Park, it was beautiful. I didn't realize the amount of green space London actually does have.

I also didn't know that Regent's Park was the home of the London Zoo. So, as I was walking along the outer circle of the path, this is what I saw...

 

 

Woah giraffes! Right in the middle of the city of London! Crazy! I continued my walk, heading back towards my neighbourhood via Primrose Hill and Belsize Road, which is another beautiful area.

 



A beautiful view of the city from Primrose Hill.

 

When I was almost back to my flat, travelling along the street behind, I also came across this statue and monument....

 

 

 

So far, it seems as though there is always something to see in London. No matter where you plan your adventure to, the journey there and back will be enjoyable as well!
