Walking on the Heath May 20, 2006
Posted by CamdenKiwi in : Camden,Trees , trackback
London is a big, sprawling, crowded metropolis with a deceptive ability to provide green and almost wild spaces. A short ride on the number 168 bus takes me up to the South End, close to the Royal Free hospital in Hampstead. The Heath is so very different from Regents Park and the lovely but very orderly squares of Camden and Bloomsbury, with woodland areas that are left to grow almost as they will, dead trees providing habitats for small beasties and fungi, flowers growing wild. Its a place to be quiet, to walk and get lost, to pretend you're out of the city for a while.
After an hour, or a day, wandering across from South End, I arrive at Parliament Hill Fields where the 121 bus is waiting to take me back home again, after a stop for coffee at the Cafe Mozart.
