The Favs

I would have to say that my three favorite walks from our wonderful selection of walks would have to be Westminster & St. James, Central Parks, and Bloomsbury. 

• Westminster = I loved seeing the Dean's yard. It was very quaint and peaceful. It was also great to see Parliament, Westminster, St. James Palace. 
• Central Parks = I loved Barclays Bikes!! The parks in London are amazing and I really enjoyed getting to see all of them in one walk! 
• Bloomsbury = just a really fun walk. It was really relaxed and easy. We got to see the British Museum which is awesome and they had great lion statues. Bloomsbury is also a really fun area and has lots of great restaurants! 

That's it folks - no more walks!!! Hope you enjoyed them all as much as me :)

Marylebone # 10

Last, but certainly not least. In fact ( Dr. Crowe) it might be the best walk I did all term!! For anyone who is wondering Marylebone was not a required walk, but... we thought it was and so we grabbed our books and took off on the walk without a second thought. We had no leader, it was a team effort and looking back I'd have to say it was a wonderful team decision. We learned A LOT and it was highly valuable to our education.

This is us in front of St. Marylebone's church, which was just one of the fantastic sites we saw on our walk. We also found the Marylebone library and checked out books for our wonderful English class. More than anything we got to experience a new London neighborhood and exercise our minds and bodies :) 

Lambeth and South Bank # 9

This walk was along the river for the most part and it was wonderful! It also made me realize how much I am going to miss London! We walked along the river by the London Eye and over behind Parliament and it was great to just stroll along and see some of London's great sites! We got off at the Temple tube station and crossed the Waterloo Bridge. We took our photo on the bridge because it had a great view of Parliament and Big Ben in the background.

We got to see some great things such as the Jubilee Gardens, London Aquarium, St. Thomas's Hospital / Florence Nightingale Museum, and the Archbishops palace/ park. St. Thomas's Hospital is huge and it was fun to see from the outside!

Central Parks Walk # 8

# 8! Two more and I am all done :) This by far was one of the funnest walks! We did it on bikes instead of walking and it was a blast!! I think that it has been my favorite walk so far! We rented bikes in Kensington Park right off of Bayswater and started our adventure there. We rode through Kensington on to Hyde park and headed over to Green Park and Buckingham Palace.We biked around the Round Pond and over to the Serpentine River. It was really fun getting to go through the parks on bike, we got to see everything in much less time and it was wonderful! Biking was just such a fun experience! The weather was great and it was refreshing to get a little bit of exercise that wasn't walking!

We took a break at Buckingham, found a nice lady to take a picture of us and had a blissful bike ride all the way home!
