Playgrounds and Parks

One reason I love London is the abundance of really nice parks. You're in the midst of a huge very vibrant city, yet can easily find a place for a nice peaceful walk.

There are also some wonderful playgrounds. Here's Django at Highgate Wood where we spent a lot of time during our 3 week visit last year.







Hampstead Heath, an ancient London park covering 790 acres, with one of the highest points in London.

Regents Park, which contains the London Zoo (never made it there)



Hide and seek!



And from The Ministry of Silly Walks...



Feeding the very bold squirrels





At the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Playground. Probably the coolest playground I've ever seen. Wish I had more pictures of all the cool details.



A Pirate Ship. It doesn't get much better than that.











In Kensington Gardens, just outside Diana Memorial Playground. Django's very first carnival type ride. In the fire engine, no less!
