London Calling

A morning run in the park - what a lovely way to start the day.

From our accommodation in London the closest park to run in was Kensington Gardens which is just across the road from Hyde Park which is just down the road from Buckingham Palace.

What a run it was, starting out with the commuters, runners, cyclists and dog walkers, my route takes me past Kensington Palace, Royal Albert Hall, Marble Arch and the Australian War Memorial to the turn around point - Buckingham Palace, a distance of approximately 5km.

My return 5km is much faster than the first 5km as I am not stopping every kilometre to take photos of buildings, palaces, horses and statues. I follow the Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Walk back through Kensington Gardens
