Evening Walk: Jubilee Preparations in
the Royal Parks T=short.19
Distance: Approximately
4 miles or 6 km for those more metrically minded
Difficulty: 1 out of 10
Meet: At the entrance to the Queensway
tube station (Central Line)
Time: 18:45
– but if you miss our departure, you can certainly catch us up along the way…
With the Platinum Jubilee just around the corner,
I thought it would be fun to take a walk through the Royal Parks to see how the
preparations are coming along…
Post walk refreshments can usually be found at
one of the watering holes along Whitehall.
The walk ends on Whitehall with access to various
transportation points, including Charing Cross and Embankment.
More information about the route can be found here.

Perhaps it was the torrential downpour about 18:00, but just 3 assembled at the Queensway Tube station to set off across the Royal Parks. We were soon caught by number n=4 who had been caught in delays on the Central Line. The walk proceeded as usual...in w=mainly-dry-clearing-conditions. Saw among other things some herons, coots, swans and Eguptian Geese -- the latter with adorable chicks...And of course, in St. James Park -- the giant white pelicans whose numbers seem to have swelled to 6! Our inspection of works revealed lots of work going on by Green Park and Buckingham Palace....but still loads to do in a few short days! The evening light was fine and after its recent refurb Ben and its tower looked stunning....At the end of the walk, three carried on to the Polish place in the Waterloo arches for food and beverage...a nice night out.....
