Taking advantage of the beautiful weather, I decided to wander around Kensington Gardens. It was so gorgeous, and just what I expected it would be--joggers with iPods, dogs scampering, moms pushing strollers with toddlers tagging along, ducks and pigeons surrounding the pond--I could easily imagine the way it would have looked a hundred years ago: nursemaids pushing perambulators, gentlemen tipping hats to elegant ladies in pale-colored gowns wielding parasols against the soft summer sun. There are certain places in London that seem timeless, and Kensington Gardens is definitely one of them. It is easy to see why J.M. Barrie found his inspiration for Peter Pan in this small part of the city, London's own Neverland.
