Walking in London in spring
Aleksey Solomatin writes: “Today we will walk around Regent's Park and see how people live in one of the most prestigious areas of London - Primrose Hill.
First, let me explain how I ended up in this area of London. After an amazing walk through Camden Town, I was scheduled to visit Abbey Road. Looking at the map, I realized that it was not so far away and decided to go this way on foot.

3. Look what an elegant work
4. A little further, on the same bridge, there is a century-old fence. Everything overgrown with moss attracts me with its history. I think that such things do not need to be cleaned of natural plaque, in this form they fit more harmoniously into old London
5. Regent's Park. Its name is consonant with the Regent's Canal, which goes around this park. This is also where the London Zoo is located.

21. The symbol of this area is a high hill, which offers a gorgeous view. Unfortunately, I did not climb the hill. Previously, this place was the property of the Royal family and access was closed here. At the end of the 19th century, this place became open to the public.

Why is this area considered prestigious? There are several reasons. Since all this was the Royal territory, there are no through busy roads. Near a great park and a hill, fresh air. Well, in the appendage, all this is located just a kilometer from the center of London. So what do you think?
