And the winner is!

Okay. Finished with the walks and, after contemplating all my different experiences, I've come up with my top three!!

First would definitely have to be Regent's Park. As I remember it, this day was one of the first warmer days and was the perfect situation to walk through such a pretty park. This was also one of the more fun walks because I was tired and kept complaining and they forever tease me about it to this day. It was a peaceful atmosphere walking through the parks and away from the city life. Definitely worth a trip if I ever come back to London.

After Regent's Park I'd have to say Soho to Trafalgar Square. I would recommend this walk to anyone that was planning on coming to London. It's a great way to see many London sites including Chinatown and, my favourite, Trafalar Square. I remember having such a good time on this walk and there's tons of cute restaurants and shopping places that I want to go back there! Definitely a good way to experience London.

For my third favourite, it's only appropriate that I picked Westboune Park to Notting Hill. I really loved this walk even for being one of my last ones. We went kind of quickly but I still loved getting a feel for where I was living. I have loved my time here at Palace Court and Notting Hill and this just made me love it more. It made me even more sad to leave, seeing Portabello Market and then eventually winding up on familiar streets. It's such a cool feeling knowing your way around a city that you've never been to before.

Living here has opened my eyes to life and I've loved every minute of it. And of these walks. I probably wouldn't know London half as well as I do if I hadn't done these walks. It helped me see London the way a true Londoner might and helped me see all different sides of this wonderful city! I'll miss it with all my heart :)

2. Westminster to St. James

30 March 2011: My last walk. I was so excited and ready to be done that nothing could bring me down! Except for the weather. The stupid weather suddenly decided to be dreadful on the one day that I had to do my last walk. Grrr. It was wet and windy and not what I wanted. But, I forged through. We were determined. Me, Emily, Brittani, Liz, and Michelle all headed out to complete it. Luckily, I had already seen most of the sites that are along the walk on good, sunny, warm days so I wasn't too upset. This time around, it was interesting to have the book as commentary on the statues and what everything really was. It was also an experience to see all the tourists crowding everywhere! It's like they're taking over the city!! I think the one thing I liked was seeing the Horse Guards Parade (because we turned on an earlier street) because as soon as we walked up to it, all the guards on their horses were getting ready to march out and head over to Buckingham Palace, so that was a neat thing.

So, I guess, for my last walk, it wasn't awful and it was a completely satisfying feeling. I can't believe how quickly everything has happened and that we're going home so soon. I'm going to miss wandering the city (and sometimes getting lost) and experiencing the London life everyday.
