Marching to three London Royal Parks 2019/Carlos Pueblo

My hostel is located outside of the Kensington Park at Bayswater, I have routine march to three Royal Parks every time I visit the city, the Kensington Park, Hyde Park, across business district of Westminster to the Regent's Park. What I enjoy the most of these two five weekday visits are the quiet environment of this huge city, the spring flowers, the wild life, and some others like run into morning drills of the Queen's horse guards, etc.

I walk into Kensington on or before 6 a.m when the gate is open toward west to the Kensington Palace. There is a square garden called the Kensington Green behind Queen Victoria's white marble statue. In front of the statue is the Round Lake with hundreds of white mute geese, Canadian geese, wild duck, and plenty of pigeons, etc. The colorful turnips were blooming at the time at the Green Garden while roses at four corners were not ready. There is another statue, a standing King William III on the south gate, both Victoria and him used to be  the resident of the Palace. Current day is occupied by Prince William, Princess Kate , and their three young children. William's parents, Prince Charles and Diana, used to live here before their divorce. After Diana's death, people built two memorial on the Park to remember her, a memorial playground for children on the north and a memorial fountain on the west of the Palace just by the Serpentine Lake.

I walked toward the Albert Square. Prince Albert is Victoria's husband and there is a huge golden sitting statue of him facing the Albert Hall, a famous place of performing arts in London. In this area, there are several Royal Colleges campus, museums, and foreign embassy offices, etc. extended to the city center like the Buckingham Palace, etc. On two raining days, I did visit the Victoria and Albert Museum to view their jewelry collection. I remember that this area of the Park has Japanese cherry blossom and some other area of the Hyde. I walk pass the south end of the Serpentine, a lake and one of the city water resource.
A small plate has been built to record Queen Caroline on her effort to dam the river to form a lake to serve as old time Londoners drinking water. She is the wife of King George II. The King lost in the American Revolution was his grandson, George III.

The Serpentine is a lake with plenty of wild birds, geese, ducks, and pigeons, etc. There are old people feeding birds along the lake and attracting a long line of geese and ducks,  even parakeets on their shoulders. Swimmers are swimming on the lake by the Lido's Cafe all year long without the concern of cold. On the west side, it is the Kensington Garden which I wonder if the name is the same as the Kensington Park.
