Walking Along Regent Canal, London

a beautiful summer day

Today was my nephew’s and his beautiful wife’s last day in London and they wanted to spend it with their extended family exploring some of the destinations where Londoners spend a Saturday afternoon.

While sitting in one of the bistros along the canal both Rose and Patrick were able to see some of the air show that was honouring King Charles’ birthday. Unfortunately I only caught a glimpse of the jets from where I was sitting and wasn’t able to get any shots with my camera.

Discovering Islington Square

after passing it several times when riding on the bus

Today we walked from our flat to Upper Street. In the last three weeks on several occasions we took the bus to Angel Station or beyond. Little did we know what we were missing. We took our time and checked out stores that looked interesting.

On our journey we discovered Islington Square. Originally it was North London’s old postal sorting office. Now it houses interesting places to shop and dine, an exclusive health club, and an Odeon Lux amidst residential options.

A little ways up the street we found a quaint Italian restaurant, Terra Rossa. https://terrarossa-restaurant.co.uk/terra-rossa-islington/

We had a lovely lunch of salad and pizza.
