The past week or so, we’ve been very lucky to receive some wonderful, summer-like weather in London, with brilliant sun and temperatures in the mid- to high- 20s (Centigrade, of course!).\u00a0One of the wonderful things about Kensington is its parks and open spaces – and where better to go to enjoy the wonderful weather! Kensington Gardens is the largest park in the area, and is home to the Round Pond (near the entrances on Kensington High Street). There’s always a wonderful variety of birds enjoying the water there (or sunbathing – I suppose – just next to it), so I thought I’d pick up my camera and take a few snaps. There’s also a few photos for the parts of the park near the Round Pond, including Kensington Palace and the newly opened gardens just next to it!<\/p>\n
