Plenty of space for walking or kicking a ball and also some quieter activities. We pass a young father and baby engrossed in a story book as well as families with small children. How many are tourists? Very hard to tell and certainly not by language. My guess is that most aren’t - except at the end of the park by Buckingham Palace. His majesty, unsurprisingly, is not in residence, as the royal standard has been replaced by the Union Jack.
J interested in seeing the Canadian Veterans Memorial. We’ve been here before. It had deteriorated at one point, and at another time Conrad Black was reportedly maintaining it. Now an attractive fountain with bronze maple leaves under the running water.
And now in the autumn falling leaves from the plane trees have joined the memorial. They’re often larger than maple leaves, and they’re brown rather than red, but they’re the same shape.
Back on Kilburn High Road we pick up a couple of small lamb burgers and a small chips for £3. Works out equivalent to $5 CAD plus Ontario tax. Surprising find here too, but very tasty.
