Instead of regurgitating into this blog post all of the research I did for my Hyde Park group walking tour, I’d like to present green spaces in a slightly different manner. This photoessay will show my impressions of what green spaces mean to London.
So, what are green spaces?

Soak up some sun.

Then, cool off with a quick dip.

green spaces lead you straight to London's heart and soul.

Your ingenuity disgusts me Sarah. This is quite refreshing, since pictures can often say more than words sometimes.

I agree. Pictures do say more than words sometimes (in my opinion, more than often..)
