Lambeth Walk





This looks like Big Ben in Peter Pan! :)



           This was a very relaxing walk, and it was breathtaking at times. Emily led the walk, and a large group of us navigated our way along this scenic route. It was really incredible to see a different view of the Thames. The backside of Parliament and Big Ben is a stunning view, and it is the picturesque and iconic shot that everyone should recognize. It is also the view that I had when I was here when I was twelve, so I really love it with all of my heart. When we first started the walk, it felt like a more suburbian area of London. We walked past the massive St. James Hospital, and we found a park decorated with local children's drawings of British history. It was also themed with adventure park toys, and it was really fun. Then we found the iconic setting I referred to in the beginning. As we walked along, we found the artsy party scene of London. Everything was lit in bright colors, and it felt like a beach-y area with painted beach houses right next to the water. We then crossed the Waterloo bridge, and it was beautiful. I loved seeing this different view of London, and it was very enjoyable after a long day.
