Top Things To Do In London England - listings 31 to 35

31 Hyde Park

Grass. Grass for walking, jogging, lying, snoozing, smooching and looking up from. The grass is just great and stretches from Buck Palace to Oxford Street.

Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the park would add something but the dung would be a negative. Celebrate grass.

32 Richmond

Richmond is a great spot for sunny, lazy Sunday afternoon pub lunch.
Situated on the Thames you can watch the tide go in and out, wonder around the local shops and go for a boat ride on the River Thames.

33 Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain

Do you remember where you were when..

Unlike the life it commemorates Diana's memorial is unloved by many of her ex-subjects. This probably has more to do with the great affection in which Diana was held than anything else. Nothing was ever going to be good enough.

The Memorial is more of a stream than a fountain flowing over different surfaces in various ways to reflect the complexity of Diana's life.

34 (19) British Museum or Egyptian/Ancient History Museum

A product of a past empire the museum contains much that is ancient and perhaps reflective of modern Britain, not originally from Britain.

For those who need a mummy, would like to visit Egypt or have an interest in Egypt the Egyptology is for you.

Beyond the actual exhibits the quality of presentation and the faculties could all be improved.

Perhaps the feeling is some of the exhibit might have to go home. At times, the museum strains to cope with the multitude of visitors. The lack of an entrance fee into the museum is perhaps a cause of some of its problems.

Worth seeing but stay focused on the exhibits you are interested in.

35 (71) Thames Barrier

The world's largest moveable flood barrier now protects London from the increasing risk from the tidal River Thames. The river that gave birth to London has the potential to devastate the city.

Thames Barrier Park

Uncompromisingly close the River Thames you will find the Thames Barrier Park by the north bank of the Thames and with great views of the Thames Barrier from the Thames Path which follows the River Thames until I really can’t think of more ways of including the word Thames in this sentence without getting very silly.
