Getting to London a little early for my meeting on Monday (at the Treasury since you ask), I got off the Tube one stop early and took a lunchtime stroll through St James’ Park. On a brisk December day it was very reminiscent of Boston Common.The pond was teeming with wild birds – greylag and Canada geese and swans – with one black swan getting all the attention and bread.
With views of the London Eye and Big Ben lit by a low watery sun against distant grey clouds, it was an oasis of calm amongst the chaos – a wonderful retreat away from the general hustle and bustle that is London in the run up to Christmas.
