This trip we only have a short stay in London as we have been here several times before. So this visit we decided to do a free London Greet and today we had the privilege of being shown around the Camden area by London Greeter Ranee. As Greeters ourselves, it was a different experience being on the 'other side' of a greet and it was wonderful. Ranee was very passionate about her area and took us up old laneways and down streets that we would never have found ourselves. We saw the place where George Orwell wrote 1984 and strolled around the gardens of John Keats house. We walked alongside the narrowboats in Regents Canal and went up Primrose Hill where sheep used to graze. It was a wonderful 4 hours spent walking around that part of London and learning the history of the area. We presented her with a few Brisbane Greeters mementos as a thank you!
It was a very warm day in London today and everybody seemed to be out and about enjoying the sunshine, especially in Regents Park. Here are some photos from our day.
Tomorrow morning we say goodbye to London and head off on the Eurostar train to Belgium where we have a 4 day stay.
