12:50:34 The view from Blackfriars station. | 12:53:00 What strange times we live in. | 13:06:36 Statue of Faraday. | 13:15:31 Trafalgar Square. |
13:27:19 Buckingham Palace. | 13:33:51 I think I was just taking a picture here to note the not very promising weather. | 13:35:08 A grape vine on the edge of Belgravia. Looks like they've got something like powdery mildew. | 13:43:42 I was delighted on arrival at Oliveto to discover they now have outdoor seating! Presumably a concession by the Duke of Westminster / Westminster council to help local businesses during the unpleasantness. Every cloud has a silver lining... |
14:13:32 My pizza ai funghi. This was excellent as always. | 14:44:07 The weather seemed to have improved! | 14:59:24 Also popped into Olivogelo for some of their excellent gelato for dessert. | 15:00:44 Stracciatella of course. |
15:00:49 | 15:12:46 I thought I might go and pay a visit to one of my old haunts, the Duke of Wellington, as I was in the neighbourhood, but alas it seems they hadn't reopened yet. A shame, considering this is one of the few Belgravia pubs with a decent amount of outdoor seating. | 15:31:40 Walking through Belgravia. | 15:33:14 Now I'm no expert on driving but I'm fairly sure one of those cars is badly parked. |
15:44:48 I did find the Nag's Head open though, so paused there for a glass of crisp refreshing beer ahead of my long walk back to Kentish Town. | 16:33:48 Spotted this, thought it might be good to try at some point. | 16:41:19 A gate into Regents Park I have fond memories of climbing over a couple of years back. | 16:56:28 A church beside Regents Park. |
20:44:25 I was ensnared by some of the regulars at the Pineapple as I was walking past, and sat outside here for a while. | 21:00:18 The other chap who frequents the Pineapple and is sartorially inclined as he was leaving. | 22:42:04 Later on I decided to haave a very late dinner, cooked out in the garden. | 22:46:45 |
23:04:45 Nice night sky seen through the vines. | 23:04:50 |
