London - Hyde Park / Portobello market

Glorious sunny up to 30° day (predicted rain for the next week) so, making the most of it, I rode a bike around Hyde Park. Turned out to be an excellent option because there are paved paths and it's almost flat, although you're restricted to just a few paths in the park. Also it's huge.
There were some big crowds in places but they certainly had space to spread out (some places were almost empty too). I always like parks in cities.

Next off to the largest antique market in the world, Portobello markets. This was a long street market (plus shops too) with a focus on antique stuff. I wasn't tempted to buy anything (except food) but it was interesting to see all the weird and old stuff displayed in the stalls.Read more
