West from Battersea to Ham

Today is Thames Path day.

The Thames path is basically the Thames so look out for diversions from it with this sign.
Yeh, so just keep your eyes peeled for this.
I go west from Battersea Park so the highlights are Battersea Park, Bishops Park, Chiswick has really nice traditional English homes and gardens:


Plus good pubs overlooking the river. Richmond emulates that but betters it with passing Richmond park & Richmond meadows. Taking a detour to Richmond Hill through the terrace gardens lets you appreciate stunning views even though its a trek up that hill. The fact that there are no traffic lights or traffic at all means you can get all the way to Hampton court in a day (of fast cycling).

The Start of a Journey


If you haven't noticed, I love London. I love the fact that there is so much London; it goes on forever. Up to the M25 at least. Declaring my love for London may make you think of obnoxious foreign tourists who shout their love by wearing tacky tees and act as if they are Julius Caesar who came, saw and conquered. However, I love London without the cheese, without the tourist shiz. The suburbs or inner city microhubs are waiting to be explored.

I hope for people to be adventurers/explorers of their own town because you will be amazed to find out what there is. London is overflowing with culture there is too much to see and too little time! (what with school taking up most of our lives)

Oh and walking/cycling/scooting is healthy, so don't go in the gym, go for a walk!
