Kew to Hammersmith


February 22, 2011
Led by: Carly Flamm & Liz Bevan

Since we are going to have very limited time in March to do walks, we decided to find the longest walk on the list, and do it this morning when we had time. It was a very beautiful neighborhood and a neat walk, but it was not my favorite so far. It seemed like the second half of the walk, the only landmarks were small plaques on buildings, so the mileage seemed unnecessary. Plus, it was a little annoying that it started in Zone 4. Despite these two small setbacks, it was a very beautiful walk. It was nice to be able to spend so much time just walking along the calm Thames River. St. Anne's Church had a really cool graveyard, and it reminded me of a spooky Halloween movie, even in the daytime! And the park by Chiswick Home was perfect; there were flowers blooming, dogs frolicking and kids playing on the lawn. For once, I truly felt like I was in a London suburb and it was picturesque. It was obviously a nice area, because the cars lining the street were very flashy ones. It was a beautiful walk, just not as exciting as all of the other ones.
