London Districts: Primrose Hill

Hello and welcome to the first episode of LLTV for 2009! As a bitterly cold January came to an end, I was determined to get some footage of London before the month was out. I had planned more filming in January but the poor weather conditions just kept ruling it out. There's only so much freezing cold and mist a video camera can take! However, on the last day of the month, the sun shone weakly through the freezing mists and lifted them enough to persuade me to jump on my bike and cycle to Primrose Hill, an up-market district surrounding the north-east corner of Regents Park. As the episode opens we catch two Sunday League Football (soccer) teams playng in the freezing haze with the BT Tower in the background. We then progress through Primrose Hill itself taking in some park life, the beautiful architecture and the village shops. I say 'village' but of course Primrose Hill is now as much a suburb of London's great sprawl as anywhere else. It is a very pleasant self-contained community of shops and well worth visiting. So welcome to London in 2009 - the LLTV filming schedule is now underway.
