London Day Four

Day Four
Location: Holiday Inn, Camden Lock, 30 Jamestown Road



My aim in London is to walk, walk, and walk. The weather's nice enough that I won't end up sweating like a pig, and the buildings are intriguing enough to keep me wanting more. Walking helps me to also soak up the sights and sounds of London that taking the Tube does not allow. Sure helps lose weight too. Haha. Although the loss of 5kg in 2 weeks feat is impossible to repeat this time due to daily dinners out with Dad.




My day started off with a short Tube ride down to Chalk Farm Station before heading across Bridge Approach to Primrose Hill and then across that to Regent's Park. Loads of greenery and peaceful surroundings, and exactly what I love to be walking through. Some people don't understand my love and appreciation for nature and greenery, but I just experience a certain sort of peace when surrounded by trees, fields, lakes, flowers, and the sound of birds and perhaps a dog or two prancing around the field. Places like these tend to be relatively scarce of people especially in the late mornings, and I like talking to God as I walk in an environment such as this because I like thanking Him for the beauty and magnificence of His creation which living in a metropolitan society in Singapore is very hard to do because I can't find that niche of peace and quiet in the midst of traffic and the hustle and bustle of daily life.

I turned onto Baker Street at the end of Regent's Park, and what a feeling of nostalgia swept through me as streets start becoming familiar. It was a short 2 weeks stay at Baker Street last year, but it was enough to instill this sense of familiarity and home as I set foot in this area once more. From here I walked down to Oxford Circus for another day of shopping at my haven - Primark. I love cheap things that look expensive.

More shoes to add to my collection
