Neverland in London

   For a while now I have wanted to go to Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens and take pictures. I run there frequently but I have never brought my camera, so today Melissa, Taylor and I went. While I was running there this morning I discovered some new places. It was not a long visit as both Taylor and Melissa's camera's died. They are amazing photographers, let me tell you. It might snow tonight, which I believe as it has been rather cold. Apparently London shuts down when it snows, but it will be very pretty nonetheless. 
Kensington Palace is where Princess Diana lived and where Queen Victoria was born and raised

Statue of Queen Victoria in front of Kensington Palace.

The gardens of Kensington Palace.

Prince Albert Memorial. He was Queen Victoria's German husband. On each of the corners(which cannot be seen) is a statue representing a continent. There is Asia, America, Africa, and Europe. While the statues surrounding the statue of Albert represent agriculture, commerce, engineering,and manufactures. 

This is the eleven tree, by the Diana Memorial Playground. 

Statue of Peter Pan. J.M Barrie met the boy that he based Peter off of in  Kensington Gardens.

  1. Lauren, Catching up on the Blog. Ask your photography friends why some of your pictures are sideway, and some are fine.
    It also sounds like England is going to the dogs. How do you do it, since we know you are not a dog lover? Hopefuly this wil cure you
