With London’s temperatures forecast to hit 30C, there was only one thing to do – head for the hills! In our case, we chose to while away a sunny Sunday at Hampstead Heath… Along with everyone else in London who’d had the same brilliant idea.
The mixed swimming pool packed to capacity
I don’t think I will quickly get over the British ability to strip down to their bikini or boardies in the park with no water in sight – have they never seen Togs, Togs, Undies!? However, the presences of the swimming ponds at Hampstead made the parade of swimmers much more acceptable. After hearing stories of nippy things and viewing the murky brown depths I didn’t venture in myself, but those who did certainly seemed to be enjoying themselves.
A slightly more serene pond
When the early evening’s cooling temperatures made movement more bearable, I headed up Parliament Hill for another awesome view of the city. Stunning!
Loving the sun!
