Best park to go cycling in London
30/04/2022A town with a great park to cycle around with great elevations & a lap distance of around 7 miles which is long enough to break a sweat! I love the fact that it feels very un-park like with no manicured lawns or fancy plant beds - it is about as close to the countryside that you can get in a city and has the freshest air that you can find in London. Although i have never lived there, i could imagine that if i did, i would be tempted to join one of the local rowing clubs as you can find many dotted around on the river between Richmond & Kew. The only downside is that the transport links are not great and if you are driving north of the river, the bridges are often a bottle neck & create length traffic jams on both sides.

Over-hyped
27/05/2023Is this really the loveliest place in London? I visited the other day with great expectations based on what I'd read and was a bit disappointed. Heading out of the station I was met by a pretty standard English high street - Mcdonald's, Greggs and Barclays bank, not the wonderland that had been promised. Granted, it was a pretty dreary London day but it was all a bit of a let down for me. I think there are much nicer places in London, Hampstead for one. Am I missing something?
