Round Pond in Kensington Gardens

An email from Tanya after she rode to work
"I saw a goose this morning - actually about 500!! - on the way to work
past the Round Pond in Kensington Gardens
They were just hanging around on the ground
Tanya"

Another note from Tanya on Monday 28th February 2005
"Riding to work and there was ice in the Serpentine today
It was cold but clear and sunny - can't wait for summer when it is hot and clear and sunny!"

(three photos)


London West End
This picture covers the area from Ladbroke Grove in the west to Piccadilly Circus in the east
and from Lords Cricket Ground in the north to Knightsbridge in the south
It is interesting to note how green the capital seems to be with dozens of open spaces
such as Regent's Park, Hyde Park, Green Park as well as the gardens of Buckingham Palace,
numerous tree filled London Squares and sports grounds
There is much water as well
The Serpentine is the central feature of this picture
and small pleasure boats can be seen there
Also there are lakes at Buckingham Palace and Regent's Park,
The Grand Union Canal snaking its way in from the west
and of course
Round Pond in Kensington Gardens
