Park Life - April 2007
Park Life - April 2007 London's parks offer a haven of tree-lined countryside in the heart of the capital. Indeed, there are parks spread throughout the suburbs so however urban a Londoner's home environment, they are only a short walk from their nearby little bit of rural haven. This high-definition video podcast will transport you to two major parks, Regents Park and Hyde Park. We start at the Regents Canal, a historic man-made river that passes along the northern perimeter of the park. The canal was built between 1816 and 1820 as part of Britain's water-based national canal transport system (still very much in use today for leisure craft). We then move to human-powered ground transport: walking, cycling, boarding and skating along the main pedestrian route in Hyde Park looking north from the Wellington House southern gate up towards Speakers Corner. Further up the same path we look through the trees to people in the distance enjoying the sunshine, before taking a closer general view of Londoners relaxing and playing in the warm spring weather. We then head back to Regents Park to watch two young giraffes at London Zoo, before returning to the canal this time sitting by the edge of the water watching people go by. Filmed Sunday 15th April 2007.

First Sights of London - April 2007

In this first episode, recorded Saturday 14th April 2007, the window opens in Trafalgar Square looking down from the outside foyer of the National Portrait Gallery across the square to the fountains and foot of Nelson's Column.

After a close-up of one of the fountains, the camera moves to the far side of Trafalgar Square looking back towards the National Portrait Gallery building.

The next scene is that of Horse Guards on ceremonial duty in Whitehall. The first Guard is on horseback, and the next shot shows a standing Guard in front of the entrance to Horseguards Parade. Behind him is another Guard on hoseback, mirroring the first on either side of the entrance.

The camera now arrives in Parliament Square just in time to catch Big Ben chiming. Notice, in the bottom right corner of the picture, a row of tents marking the location of the current anti-war protest across the road from the Palace of Westminster (Houses of Parliament).

Next, the camera is located in New Palace Yard, in the far corner from the Palace of Westminster. On the left side of the picture is Westminster Abbey. The next shot has a close-up of the statue of Richard I (Richard the Lionheart,  King of England from 1189 to 1199.

Our final scenes in this episode are of the The British Airways London Eye, also known as the Millennium Wheel, which opened in 1999. This obsrvation wheel carries 40 "pod" each containing up to 25 passengers on a 30-minute journey full-circle. It stands 135 metres (443 feet) high on the western end of Jubilee Gardens, on the South Bank of the River Thames. The scenes also take in County Hall, the former Greater London Council (GLC) building now home to the London Aquariam, galleries, and two hotels.
