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 :)

  1. Three great selections; Regents' Park looks like it's going to be the overall winner of the walks. It's my personal favorite.

    Congratulations on getting everything finished with this course.
