Regent's Park


Date: April 30th
Group Members: Molly Clemens and Alison Roybal
This walk was just the three of us, and we worked as a team to organize and direct it, so we considered ourselves all group leaders. I was also the navigator for it (which wasn't a very good idea- we ended up doing some backtracking in the park). I thought this was a good walk, but wish we hadn't done it right after the Regent's Canal walk we took as a group; by the end I was ready to be done. The walk was nice, though- my favorite part of this one is the view from Primrose Hill. You can see such a beautiful skyline from there! I like that Duncan's book talks about the things that you pass- for example, before entering Regent's Park it talks about the plans that the architect had for that area- to make terraces and houses that looked like mansions but were really separate houses. This picture was taken in front of the Friedrich Engels home, the house of a man who was good friends with Karl Marx. It only has me and Alison in it because Molly was taking the picture.
