🇬🇧 Clissold Park: A Painting Come to Life 🎨
A casual North London citywalk led me to Clissold Park—and what a surprise! This park is literally like stepping into an impressionist painting. 🌿 The Scene: 2-3PM, 20°C with a breeze, dappled sunlight through the trees. Every corner has someone reading, napping, or sketching under the shade. Puppies trotting past (saw at least 5!), and rumored deer (though I missed them 😔). 🚶 Walk Itinerary: 1️⃣ Start by the river, then head east through the park. 2️⃣ Stop at these gems along the way: 🛋️ Know & Love (quirky homeware) 🎁 Nook Shop (cute gifts) 🔍 Search & Rescue (must-visit gift shop!) 🛒 Hackney Flea Market (monthly weekends only) 3️⃣ Go south through residential streets—colorful doors, tiny gardens, and quiet charm. ✨ Why It’s Special: Came for Jolene Bakery, stayed for London’s understated beauty. This park doesn’t shout—it whispers magic. #LondonParks #HackneyWanders #HiddenLondon #CityEscape
