I was in London for a meeting last Friday and so was able to enjoy the blue skies and hot temperatures before and after, and on Saturday.
It was also my first chace to try out my new camera, the Sony alpha DSLT-A55. I checked out the new Western Concourse at King's Cross on Friday morning and had a wander through the West End in the evening. On Saturday I went to Camden Town and Hampstead Heath. I walked about ten miles over the two days.
In this thread you'll see what Londoners do in the sun... drinking, sunbathing and even swimming in the lake on Hampstead Heath! Interspersed with buildings, because this is SSP after all
