Green Park
A friend of mine is visiting and together we are doing a pretty good job exloring the shopping possibilities around Oxford Street, Carnaby Street, Regent Street and Piccadilly Circus and I’m sure you can imagine that once we got to Piccadilly we really needed a break.
It was a lovely autumn day and we made it just that bit down Piccadilly to reach Green Park. They had deckchairs all over the lawn and we found two empty ones to lay back in and enjoy the sun. This is possibly the most relaxing thing to do after you have been walking around all day! Lot’s of Londoner’s in suits around us having lunch, Tourists too I’m sure, and everybody just doesn’t care about work for a while.
It’s also the least expensive way to get your sun fix for the day: For only £ 1,50 you get to keep the chairs for two hours (if you have that much time) and it’s easily spent if you have a friend with you to catch up on what’s been happening in the other one’s life. Well, of course you can sit on the lawn as well which doesn’t cost you a penny, but then again… it really is comfortable in these things!
Even if you’re alone, sit back, relax and have a little nap before getting back into the always rushing city.
