One of our usual night time walks is to Buckingham Palace along The Mall. So we always walk past St. James Park but it is always too dark to see anything since we usually walk late at night. Today we decided to see what it looks like during the day.
There is a nice lake and lots of benches and birds. We had bought vegetable burritos from Tortillas along Strand (thanks to Northumberland House due to the re-flooring on our floor) and sat along a bench watching all the different birds in the lake.
We saw some rather large pelican looking birds, geese and swans. This park is about a 5 min walk from where we stay, it will be so nice when Spring finally arrives :)
Along Pall Mall....
Then to top off the afternoon, I decided to go to Leicester Square as it was free cone day at Ben & Jerry's! Luckily the queues moved fast. Decided to treat myself to a Caramel Chew Chew and a Strawberry Chessecake ice-cream. Yes I queued twice :) think that I have only had Ben & Jerry's once before. There is such a thing as free ice-cream - love first world countries - thank you Ben & Jerry's!
