A couple of weekends ago, we had beautiful weather. I had a photo shoot in the morning near Euston, and I decided to walk to Primrose Hill. I have wanted to go to this much-photographed and scenic part of London for many years now. Despite living in London and not really all that far away, I had never been until now. Primrose Hill is located near Chalk Farm and is also walkable from Camden. I walked up through from the southeast of the area and passed next to the river where there is a Chinese restaurant on the canal which I'd like to go someday. From there, I walked through the nice rows of houses and then up to the park itself.
I stopped at Primrose Bakery, which used to be located centrally but retained its branch at Primrose Hill. I loved the cupcakes, and they are my favourite (read about my visit here). My walk to Primrose Hill park was via the northeast corner, where I walked through a fairly flat area.
The hill came into view, and the crowds were enjoying their time along the hill and on the summit. I continued to walk up the hill and looked back to get a glimpse of the emerging view.
It also seems to be a popular place for artists.
At the summit, I was rewarded beautiful views of London's skyline. I saw the Shard, Gherkin, BT Tower, London Eye, and many more landmarks.
After my visit to the park, I walked back toward Chalk Farm along the main street. There were many cafes and shops, and all of these were busy.
I enjoyed seeing this new part of London that I have never visited before and hope to return.
