London Spring Forerunners
March 12, 2005
On a walk through the Borough of Islington today, I captured these two pictures with those nice spring forerunners.
Spring used to start here a bit earlier, but this year it's still quite cold for London conditions. Last year the same time, you could already see many trees with fresh green and even nice colored flowers. Also primroses have been all over the parks and in little hanging baskets at the outside of many pubs. However, this year, it's all a bit later. Anyway, I think it will start getting green quite soon and that also means the start of one of the nicest times in London, especially when the days becoming longer as well. A must for that time is a visit at Primrose Hill in Camden. It is very close to Regents Park and the London Zoo. From the top of the hill, you will have a wonderful view over central London. To get a very first impression, look at this animated panorama view provided by the BBC. So, if you should be in London during the spring time, go to Primrose Hill on a lukewarm evening and enjoy the view over London's skyline. After that, you'll find many bars and pubs in Camden Town to let the day die away.
