Westminster is Empty - HM 16

25.25 km02:25:565:38 min/kmStrava

Continuing my “half marathon per week” plan, for week sixteen (!) I thought I’d run into Westminster. I’d heard it was super quiet in central London and those who’d shared that were right!

Compared to running on Dulwich, where outside our house there’s a constant stream of people, and the park is getting crazily busy, this felt so different. Much safer! Hyde Park was mostly empty, and around the Houses of Parliament / Buckingham Palace there was barely anyone around.

We’re having a bit of a wild time of it at the moment with a house move in four weeks, and the future of my main project is up in the air. So, nice to get out and remove some adrenaline, listen to some podcasts and see some nature. Enjoy your Sunday, folks!

I'm running the London Marathon – it would be awesome if you would sponsor me to raise funds for the National Autistic Society.
