Evening Walk: Daffodils in the Dark (Paddington to Charing Cross)
Distance: Approximately 4.4 miles or 7.2 km for those more metrically minded
Difficulty: 1 out of 10
Meet: At the entrance to “The Lawn” inside Paddington Station at 18:30
Return: Charing Cross – mainline and tube
This walk is part of a trilogy of walks through London passing by each of its terminus stations. This section has the benefit of passing through St. James Park which is usually awash in daffodils at this time of year -- though some may be going over by now.... We will likely need to tweak the route a bit to stay in Hyde Park as Kensington Gardens closes at 18:30....
More information about the route can be found here. Please bring a printout of the instructions (not just the GPX) as there is a lot of background information within the walk notes.
Enjoy the walk!

It took a bit for the n=5 to find one another in a chaotic Paddington -- but we did ultimately connect and set off about 15 minutes late paying homage to the station's name sake on the way....please take care of this bear...... nourished with marmalade sandwiches off we went.... Approaching Kensington Gardens, we found the gates open -- so risked the designated route and escaped through open gates on the far end...phew....along the serpentine we continued on a w=fine-clear-evening. After admiring Belgravia and Victoria we entered St. James's park and did indeed find some daffs still standing tall and proud.....such brave spring frontrunners .....As Horseguards gate was closed, we made the suggested detour which brought us almost directly to the backdoor of the Horseguards pub....well, of course, we entered.... fine establishment. All had drinks and/or food....those eating found the food much better than the former weatherspoons at that location... A nice night out!
