#201 - Admire the city from Primrose Hill, NW3
Timeout said:
A former hunting ground for Henry VIII, this hill is the north of Regent's Park and was opened to the public in 1842. Anti-aircraft guns were sited on the 207 foot tall summit in 1939.
Dave did:
I was on a work comms event at Alexandra Palace a week or so ago, and the view from up there of the London skyline was amazing - especially compared to that on Cornhill! (See Thing #202!)
Seeing how tall Primrose hill was, I held similar hopes of great views as I had done that day (for some reason Alexandra Palace is not on my 1000 things to do...).
I was certainly not disappointed, although the hill is smoothered in aussies sunbathing which did prove a little distracting!
Once more, another nice little spot that I'd happily spend an afternoon sitting around on enjoying the views withh an ice cool drink!
