Had a very hot day last week visiting middle chick in her home town. I think I got so hot and sweaty that some moisture got in to my phone as all my pics are now milky and blurry! Still, you can get the gist.....
We strolled through the crowds in Camden. It's so mad, I love it.
Camden Town
Camden Lock
An area to the north of Regent's Park, this was once part of a chase belonging to Henry the VIII. It is now one of the most fashionable and affluent areas in London. Sylvia Plath lived nearby in the 1960's.
I can see why this is one of Maisie's favourite spots in London
You get a fantastic view of central London from 256 feet up
Then we tried to hug the shade in Regent's Park - a Royal Park of 410 acres
Regent's Park
It was 30 degrees in the shade!
We are here......
We were going to go on the pedalos in Regent's Park but it was too hot so we thought we'd sit in a hot cable car instead!
The Emirates Air Line opened in 2012 and stretches across the Thames from the Greenwich Peninsula to The Royal Victoria Dock. It was the first urban cable car in Britain. It travels at a height of 300 ft and you can pay with your Oyster card!
The O2 Arena
I'm so hot!
We enjoyed a meal (with Pimms) near the O2 as the sun went down
We then caught one of the Thames Clippers to Embankment. I didn't realise how fast it was going to go! Also, they weren't fussy about mooring up at each stop. We had a lot of banging against the side, frantic engine reversing and squeals from the passengers.
Maisie got the bum seat and got covered in spray!
Tower Bridge
The funny top heavy building - 20 Fenchurch Street
HMS Belfast
The Shard on the right
We had to run from Embankment to Waterloo to catch our train. Well I ran, Sarah strolled calmly behind me. She said I run funny and we still had to wait a few minutes once sat on the train. Bit embarrassing - me all puce and panting. London is exhausting.....
