  1. Little Jackie G –

    Nice to see green parts of London that you don’t know exist, including some lovely riverside stretches, as well as learning about the interesting history. A fun activity for a solo person in a safe neighbourhood for these Covid times (though I’d have also been permitted to meet with one other person outdoors, even in tier 4).
