Well school is in full swing, which is the main reason why no blog updates over the past few weeks. I’d like to expand on my previous post highlighting cool places in my neighborhood. One of my favorite places in this area of London is Regent’s Park.
(The Avenue Gardens)
The park, as it is today, first opened to the public in 1845. The park is huge – it’s around 500 acres in size. It’s great for sport, with plenty of open space to play football (soccer), rugby, cricket, ultimate frisbee, and, of course, a little American football. There are tennis courts and plenty of running paths. The London Zoo, the world’s oldest scientific zoo, also is located in the park. Finally, because LBS sits on the southwest corner of the park, I get to enjoy the beauty of the space from a few of my classrooms.
Whether I’m running around the outer loop, playing rugby or walking through the gardens, Regent’s Park provides an excellent escape from the busy streets of London, and if you’re in the area I highly encourage you to check it out.
