Primrose Hill and Regent’s Park…

St Mark’s Church, in Prince Albert Road, north of Regent’s Park, south of Primrose Hill…

Feng Shang Chinese Restaurant, Regent’s Park Canal, north of Regent’s Park…

Atop Primrose Hill, and the weather today was mercifully kind ;)…

“I have conversed with the spiritual sun. I saw him on Primrose Hill.” William Blake, English poet and artist (1757-1827)…

Zooming in, to show St. Paul’s Cathedral and The Shard, London’s tallest building…

In Queen Mary’s Garden, Regent’s Park…

Also in Queen Mary’s Garden…

Queen Mary’s Garden waterfall water coursing over a mossy stone…

So here it is, the year’s final London image on this photoblog: the connecting passage between the Bakerloo and Northern Lines at Embankment Tube station…:).

Whetstone reflections, High Street Kensington and the South Bank revisited…

(Inverted) tree and moon reflected in the pond in Swan Lane Open Space, Whetstone…

Smart area of London is Kensington, and perhaps reflected here in the entrance to High Street Kensington Tube station… 😉

View at the junction of Kensington Church Street and High Street Kensington…

Standing on Hungerford Bridge, looking towards the Royal Festival Hall, and to its left, The Shard, London’s tallest building, a couple of miles distant near London Bridge…

The Friday Tonic, a free gig in the Clore Ballroom of the Royal Festival Hall most Fridays, between 5.30 pm and 7.00 pm, and this week featuring the Soothsayers… 🙂

And if you wander back towards Waterloo station from the Royal Festival Hall, you’ll probably pass by Archdukes at the top of Concert Hall Approach (and notice the Boris Bikes in the foreground, a latter-day feature of the London landscape) ;).
