If you live in London (or anywhere in the UK), you can understand that this is an opportunity you cannot pass up - you've got to go out and soak up every single drop of Vitamin D you possibly can.
E and I started the day with a run, then a delicious brunch at a special spot in Soho (more on that in a couple of days), and then I had a mission for both of us.
I had heard of the amazing view of the city that could be seen from Primrose Hill, a popular area north of Regent's Park. After somehow putting it off for far too long, I told E this was the day we would climb up that hill and see what all the fuss was about.
Let's just say we were well rewarded for our efforts.
What a glorious, panoramic view of London. Lots of people had the same idea as us, lounging around and picnicking on the grass, basking in the sunshine.
I was glad that we had waited for such a perfect day to see this for the first time, and on days like these in the upcoming months I'll be sure to trek up again (definitely with a picnic next time).
We had a wander through the surrounding residential roads and through streets lined with quaint little cafés and restaurants, and found the whole area charming. As a bonus, I stumbled across the house where Sylvia Plath used to live - such little chance discoveries make me so grateful to live in a city full of history, culture and natural beauty (even if we have a rainy and sunny days ratio of 10:1).

I went to Primrose hill last Sunday too, the weather really was too nice to pass up such an opportunity! Such gorgeous views!
ReplyDeleteI miss this place. When I lived in London, I came here a bunch of times to take photos and just to walk around. A great pub is nearby too :)
ReplyDeletePrimose Hill is definitely worth it! So beautiful, looks like you had a lovely afternoon there.
ReplyDeleteLook at that blue sky! I work in Primrose Hill, by the canal, and I know I am so lucky! Such a gorgeous area. Now if only I had a few millions for a house there... ;) You look gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWhat if my favorite pictures are the ones of YOU because YOU'RE SO FREAKING PRETTY!? Your skin is absolute perfection. And I love your shirt! And these pictures are beautiful, I'm jealous that you get to live in such a historical and interesting place. I wish I lived somewhere where I'd stumble across random awesome places that carry historical relevance haha. Also those last three pictures are incredible....the water is stunning and everything looks so charming. Alsooo I saw you on the bloghop and I was so excited for you!! I've never done this one before, but I think I'll do it now thanks to your inspiration ;]
